Upon the application OF Richard Croker and
others which means that virtuous and disinter-
estcd guardian of popular rights Tammany Hall,
the Attorney General of the State is going to pro-
coed against Trusts" He is going to do it right
away so that Richard and others may make
q point of it during the campaign. In this he Is
wiser than he thinks, for II he waited until after
the campaign is ended there is a strong probability
that Richard and others would forget their
noble rage against Trusts-at least until another
political crisis is at hand. The way the souls of
Richard and others" have OF glowing with horror
and Indignation at public abuses just before q
campaign and then of cooling of like red-hot
horseshoe souscd in Sucllet of water is most
interesting to observe. And yet we wouldn't for
all the world say aught to dampen the newborn
virtue of Tammany Hall 1t is true that the
snow-white gown and the angel wings to which
Richard and others are just now endeavorng
to adjust themselves don't seem to be good fit,
but we are nevertheless gratifed to fitness such
spectaces Richard and others we wish you
well.

Republican party lacks sincerity in sharply ac-
centuatng the controversy between Protection and
Free Trade. The issue of the campaign is not the
Juggling phrases pieced together by Mr. Watterson
and Senator German and worked into the Dan o.
cratic National platform for the sake of misleading
Protectionist Democrats in doubtful States The
issue is the Presidents message and the NILS DILL

rect Interpretation of the party's ambiguous,
tricky and dishonest platform utterahces The
Tariff debate in the House shows what is the real
issue before the country and that nearly
| every Democratic Representative who took the
floor either made free-trade speech without dis
qlise or used time-worn free-trade arguments while
protesting to be interested only in the question OF
reducing the surplus. That debate convicts the
Democratic party of being free trade through and
through.
keep petticoats ont of politics." exclaims The
| Rochester Union We Judge from this that The
Union Is opposed to jeff Davis taking the stump

The charges brought against w. Martin Jones,
of Rochester the Prohibition nominee for Gov
| ernOr, are serious. III Is aleBcu JnhJ hr Joucs,
who has made it n practice to prosecute liquor
Sellers bringing suits in the name of the Overseers
of the Poor, compromised suit against u Canaan
daigua dealer for $500, sl5 of which was to be
for attorneys costs, and $3.50 was to go to the
town of Manchester; and that Mr.. Jones retained
the whole amount, suit against him ON the part of
the town Of Manchester being still on II this
| charge is well founded, Mr. Jones would appear TO
| belong to the worst class of impostors-men who
| profess to be reformers only TO serve their own
base purposes. The suggestion that he should get
off the ticket is n good one. We want no vulgar
frauds running for Governor in the Empire State.
Mr. Chairman appeal to the Democracy here to
stand true TO their c0ors Applause on the Democratic
