| Tammany couragcously and consistently
opposed tho Australian system which the
Democratic State Convention Of 1888 declared
TO be "a method which may he necessary

not desirable among FREQ people,"
| At tho last meeting Of Tammany Hall
prior to the passage Of the new Electoral

| thus again defined:
"I,soir,d That tho promising outlook for desirable

exercise of his right of suffrage and rendering great
service tho Democratic party in the state and nation
and to friends OF manhood suffrage everywhere"
The law as adopted differs from the one
advocated by tho Republican managers,
their Mugwump dccOys, and tho hullucinat-
ed County Democracy in these particulars:
i. Any person can have printed for him
self, or can use, n pastcr ballot, circulated
outside of the polling place, and containing
such names as he desires, irrespective OF the
State Government and its nominations.
II. The names OF all candidates for tho
same Office are not to DO printed on the

has its own separate ticket as hitherto.
III. Tickets may DO procured from the
sworn public officers" indoors; or they
may be prepared outside in tho form of
paster ballots, rs tho elector chooses.

" No voting by the proxy of "sworn pub

VI. No acknowledgements.
If the Republicans, their Mugwump de-
coys, and other camp followers can derive
any genuine satisfaction from the new law,
there is nothing that they won't love.

The Germans arc more liberal book buy
ers than their ncighbors. This is not be-
cause they nrc richer than others, for they
arc not, the rulo being that professional
men are poorly paid, while the representa-
tives OF wealthy families enter the army or
the diplomatic service as rule. But the
educated German considers books as belong
ing to the necessities Of life, preferring to
forogo what others consider Indispensable
rather than to do without the latest and
best works In the line OF research that
interests him particularly. England Is the
land of circulating libraries, and the average
American reader does not take to tho sub
stantals Of literature like the German. The
American prefers tho magazines which our
generation of American publishers and writ
ers have produced, and in comparison with
which the periodical publications OF Ger
many are of little moment. But the sig
nifcant fact remains all the same that Ger

Africa that do not employ more or loss slave

shipped for the Congo and many OF them were

Trying to Help the Republicans.

| The Democratic Convention OF the Third
Pennsylvania Congress district met on Fri
day to nominate n Democrat rs successor to
tho late SAMUEL j. RANDALL. without do.
ing anything it adjourned until Monday in
consequence of the service uron the Chnir-
man of n court injunction restraining h.m
from admitting set OF contesting delegates
from two wards of tho district.
| The situation there has been mis-
represented by those who have AN
| end to serve in so doing, but the facts of
the case arc simple. Tho Congress district
which Mr.. RANDALL served with such
marked zeal, courage and, ability contains
voting population OF $1,000: 1000 Dcmu-
| Gratis and 10000 Republicans. 1t consists Of
eight wards of tho city of Philadelphia,
seven of which are Democratic. The three
heaviest Democratic wards OF the district and
those giving the majority which will olcctthr
| successful Democratic candidate namely,
the Third, Fourth, and Eleventh, chose
delegates to Fridays Convention favorable
to WILLIAM MCALEER, who is the choice of
the Democratic voters OF the district and
who has the support of tho friends of Mr..
RANDALL and of all those who wish to see
Democratic principles predominate and
Democratic policies pursued. If not inllu-
enced by persons from without, the Demo-
Gratis would nominate and elect Mr.. Nc
ALEER us the successor of Mr.. RANDALL.
There are, unfortunately, a certain num-
Der OF marplots in Philadelphia calling them
selves " CLEVELAND Democrats" They don't
amount to much, but they are enough, with
SCOTT and SINCERITY to encourage them, to
ambDrroGc 10 nnnnnrotc IN tNUo nf thn
wards OF the district, both Of them of doubt
fui Democracy, and quite likely to give
majority for the Republican candidate the
delegates elected favor the nomination of
Mr.. CHARLES r. GESTNER who has the sup
port OF these CLEVELAND Democrats. In
two other wards, the Fifth and Sixteenth,
the GENTNER people have elected contesting
delegations, and to prevent them from acting
the injunction was issued at the request of
MIR. MCALEER's friends. In the remaining
ward, the Seventeenth, the delegates were
instructed to vote for one MATTHEW Dit
MAN, an obscure aspirant, first, last, and
all tho time"
The question at issue, therefore, is whether
the Democratic electors Of Mr.. RANDALL's
district are to have a Congressman of their
own choosing, or whether a number OF mis-
cellaneous theorists and schemers from
without are to thwart the wishes of these
Depocratic electors by forcing upon the
Convention a candidate not desired in the
Democratic wards? II they do this, the Re-
publican candidate will very probably be
elected, thus adding through foolishness ono
more to the Republicans in the House in adj
dition to those recently seated by force and
fraud.
The Democratic Nominating Convention
will meet again tomorrow.
