AswE have expected, the political
machine Of New York Ia receiving n
mighty shaking up by the proposition

manifcs, ability In the positions Of pub
lie trust which lac has allied raise him
above personal calumny. This Il a
qualification Tor office which the Dem.
ocrats Of the state have not encoun-
tered for 40 long that tho mere pros

field gives them a NJ o. the ague.
The independents who thl. year
have been dotiug ON tho withdrawal Of
David II. Hin from the Democratic
ticket, rs nm opportunity long hoped
for TO put forward n Democratic candl-
date which they could support, are
nouplused, because they have repcat-
eddy and uncqulyocally committed
themselves to the style Of political 70.

reckless enough 10 compliment
him personally In language which
to say the least would be profoundly
embarrassing to them In pursuing n
campaign against him, They are
therefore improving every Opportunity
TO Il u'oumgc his nomination, ON tho
ground Of their assumed regret that
NJ good man should sacrifice himself
10 hopeless cause.
The Republican politicians are In u

elmer circles"a very clear hint that
Andrew ID. white was not person 10

Come to think about 1t, Mir. white
had opposed the nomination Of James

the political code Of the Tribune, no
Republican should oppose James q.

refused TO haul II down.
Fh' fight within the party sstlll on,
The Independents, In tho absence OF
