NEWARK, Aug. THE Evening NeaOs of
tonight publishes an interview with ex-
Alderman James Smith, of this city, who
has been prominently mentioned for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
s'No, sir," he said when the direct ques-
ton was put to him, II am not candidate
for that or any other position. My bust
ness requires my undivided attention, and
will receive it too. am of the opinion
that the Democracy OF the State would be
willing to concede the nomination to Es-
sex County, provided our delegates would
unite on some one man. A solid delega-
ton would surely give us the opportunity
to name the nominee"
What of John McGregor is he can
didate in his own right 2"
81 He is bona fde candidate, answered
the alderman, smiling. "He would not
be, however, unless he expectedto receive
the nomination.
"Who will be the Democratic nominee
for Congress in this district against Mr.
Lehbach?" asked the Netcs reporter, in a
last attempt to stagger the Democrats
alderman.
"Gottfried Krueger," answered Mr..
Smith quickly. "That is, of course, if he
will accept the nomination. His strength
and popularity would insure his election
by large majority"
The Paterson Guardian, after showing
from the records ex-Congressman Cutters
phenomenal strength in the Fifth Con-
gressional district, where he has been once
elected State Senator and twice Congress-
man in spite OF adverse Republican ma
jofities. adds that if he should be nomi-
mated for Governor now he would sweep
this district and render certain the cleo
| ton of a Democratic Senator in Morris
County, besides favorably affecting the
Assembly contests.

A Southern paper puts up the singular
plea that the surplus funds in the Treasury
should not be used to retire bonds, because
the capitalists who hold them will in that
case be unable to find profitable invest

sad calamity, indeed. Still, the poor who
are paying the interest on those bonds
ought to be entitled to some consideration.

Samuel ]. Tilden.

In the death of Samuel J. Tlden, this
country has lost one of her most remark
able, it not one of her greatest. men. He
combined all the statesmanship of Horatio
Seymour with the political shrewdness of
Martin Van Buren,. No politician the
country has ever produced has been 50
broad statesman. No statesman the
country has produced has been so keen
politician. He attracted an army of voters
by the breadth and compass and fairness
with which he treated great public ques-
tions, and his mstchless political skill
taught him how to use them when his
wisdom had marshaled them to his stand
ard. His master-strokes of reform
marked him in 1876 as the man of
the hour. His linitlsss political re-
sources showed him how to ssfructify" the
advantage he had gained. Without en-
ploying the little arts of the ward politician,
his methods were as penetrating, far reach
ing and effective. During the memorable
campaign which he, at once. won and lost.
his canvas was SO personal that it seemed
as though he was at every door IN the land,
pleading with the voters within for their
suffrages. Its scheme was as broad as the
nation; but all-pervading as her air. In
all the history of popular elections there is
nothing that approaches that campaign in
vastness of conception and in careful min
uteness of execution. No detail was too
small or too Insignificant to be neglected.
No man in the country could have organ
lied such canvass, and conducted it with
such magnificent skill, and won, as he
won, against the overwhelming odds that
confronted him. In 1880 his prominence
as the man of the hour was no less marked
than it had been in 1876. In himself he
represented the only living issue of the
day. 1t was the first opportunity that had
been offered for a popular condemnation
OF the most dangerous assault that had
ever been made Hpen Republican liberty
ID this country and ne should have been
put at the head of the ticket again. The
stern reproof that could have been made
IN 1881, would have fallen hat IN 1884,
and Mr.. Tilden had also become SO palsied
by age, that his nomination was out of the
question, and demand for new leader
was properly obeyed. But when, in 1885,
new son of fortune assembled to the
proud distinction he had once anbitiously
hoped to enjoy, of being the first Demo-
l.. r. l. - ~
something of the excusable sourness and
envy of old age moved him to captious
fault-fnding with the new Administration,
and he was gradually losing his influence
in the councils of the people. Death
plucked him from among the living at the
most auspicious moment for the endurance
of his fame

Justice sometimes miscarries, and what
seems to be notable instance of the blind
goddess obliquity of vision has just been
made public. Several years ago woman
named McDonough fell into the hands of
a gang of hoodlums who infested the Nor
ris Canal, and was treated With brutal vio-
1enee. Five men were arrested for CON-
plicity in the crime. convicted and sent to
State prison. One of them, James Brown
by name, went upon the stand in his own
defense, and swore that he had nothing to
do with the affair. A vigorous cross-ex-
animation failed to shake his stery, but the
iary chose not to believe him. Since then
four of the five have been pardoned. james
Brown is not one of them. The four who
are at liberty ssmake no bones' of admit
ting their own guilt (now that they have
in a manner paid the penalty and are free
of the law, while at the same time they
unanimously exonerate James Brown. 1t
seems cruel satire on justice that the four
men whose criminality is unquestioned
should be at liberty while the one man
whose guilt is at least doubtful should still
be in State prison. Even if he were guilty
he is quite as much entitled to pardon as
the others. To hold him still is not likely
to increase the public respect for the much
Wanted Justice of the State of New Jersey.

the State Board will show the Railroad as
little mercy and give her as little quarter
as herdetiant attitude towards the State on

some beef they had bought Of neighbor-

any poison in the pickle, and, to prove
his assertion, compelled two of his

little victims died in half an hour. Now,
the brute who sacrificed theM to his greed

of the meat whose fatal qualities have
