THAT PIVOT STILL.

The political gossip in New York
shows drift in the direction Of main
tanning the metropolis as the pivot in the
next Presidential campaign Already
we hear that Cleveland is So strong in
the regard of the Democrats of New
York that his popularity was intoned
with louder shouts than what was ac-
corded TO President Harrison at the
great Centennial festival
We hear also on the New York pOliti-
cal exchange that Nh. Cleveland, though
defeated demonstrated that he and his
idea had the popular majority
But, while the Cleveland boom is re-
forming itself il is equally certain that
there is powerful opposition being
organized to capture the pivot
and bring the delegation OF the
Empire State TO the support of some
New Yorker representing combination
aud a pool with deal for two games for
first and second innings, 1892 and 1896.
These two individuals are at present
IIill and. Whitney, heavily backed by
popular party, and not lacking in the
element that contributes the heaviest
battalions that decide political battle.
The point OF political interest is there
fore drawn at New York, and as far as
the position Of the State with It's thirty
six electora. votes goes for influence in
a national convention We may look to
see the game played with all the New
York politicians well-known shrewd-
ness.

THE pRoLrTARIAT on TOP.

We hope, for the sake of decency that
the country has had enough of the
wretched Qualification over Ward Me
Allister's deposition from the control
of the Centennial ball Every dull
clown who handles pen OF pencil
has had his coarse fling at
the retreat of the gentleman and the ac-
cession Of the rufiian i'm that matter
The wit of the paragrapher and the
cartoonisl has made the most of AN cpl
sode which robbed the Centennial cele-
bration of its last hope of responsibility
and delivered it over TO the untoward
auspices of the New York slums
Mr.. McAllistcr. Southern gentleman,
who has for some years past consented
TO teach the New York ari-tocIacy GER
tain pleasant and seemly things their
ancestors did not happen 10 know. gave
great ofIense because he sought 10 invest
the centennial of our common country
liberation with some of the
gracious and gentle obseryances
that distinguished the manners
of that splendid time. lie was oyerruled
by the vulgar mob of the Mcswyngs and
OMulligans, who now enjoy the fruits
of American chivalry and yalor and the
result was bestial orgie, which must
have made every decent-minded creature
shudder with horror and disgust.
4 In our opinion it will be well for the
country when an awakened public senii-
ment shall have coughed or bushed
down the nasty exhibition of triumph
over Mr. McAllisers defeat now occu-
pying the energies of too large a part
of the press. Perhaps % Is too
much to expect that city
which supports such nauscous dives as
the Haymarket and Billy McGiory S. and
coniides the conduct of its corporation
festivities TO the red and hungry hands
of Tammany heelers,' will ever agree
to the domination in its purely munich
pal affairs of culture and good
breeding But those who respect
the nations fair name-and We hope
they are still in the majority may surely
protest against the degradation of a
strictly national celebration to the base
uses Of the hoodlum rabble of the New
York river sides.
The proletariat was on top for that oc-
casion. Let US hope that many centuries
may pass before so sad thing occurs
again
