Tho dedication of Tammany's monument
on the battlefield Of Gettysburg to-day Ia an
event Of peculiar interest. II turns attention
for the timo from tho opening OF q political
campaign. upon which the famous old Demo-
cratic society has Just entered with flying ban

Of nearly thirty ago In which the Tnminany
tiger dash helped to save tho nation from do
str,c.lon and won the gratitude and applause
Of those who are now arrayed against It on
the narrower lines IL party politics.
On such an occasion Ms this men Will not
think Of local anarrels and party contests. but
their minds will irrcsist!bly revert TO those
dark DAYS OF '63 when tho terribly victorious
LEE with his army Of veterans came marching
straight into tho free States. and tho sudden
cry Of Pennsylvania for help struck thrill Of
establishment and dread to the henrt OF the
North. They will remember that we all stood
together them Tammany man and Republican
shoulder to shoulder. neither Drawer than the
other. and both not more dauntless than their
foe.
And after they have recalled tho splendid
victory. that in the end proved as glorious for
the South rs for the North. since II has united
them moro lndissolubly than before. men Of no
party will forget that when the supreme test
OF patriotism came the CLEAN OF Tammany's

Tho Judiciary Convention Of the Demo.
cratic party In the Second Judicial district
OF this State. which met In Brooklyn on
Tuesday. renominated CALVIN Z. PRATT for
Justice OF the Supreme Court for term be-
ginning on the LIST day Of January next and
ending ON tho 8lst day OF December after
tho candidate becomes 10 years Of age.
The coming election will be the third at which
Judge PRATT has run for the same Office
without any opponent. When he was orIgl-
nally nominated. the term OF Office was only
eight years. He had been war Democrat,
and the Republicans put no candidate In
the field against him. At the expiration Of
his first term he was reelected without op-
position for the heightened term OF four
teen years. which will expire In December
next: and he will now again be unani-
mously reelected,
This Is n record OF which any man may
well be proud. In tho first instance. his
services in tho war and the severe wounds
which he received In the service OF the
country doubtless prevented the nomina-
ton Of any opposing candidate by the Re-
pubicans. His subsequent reelection. how

The Chemung Circus.

Was 1t the Hon. WILLIAM BRooKrrE1D.
Chairman Of the Republican State Commit
tee. or Treasurer JAMES W. WADswoRTH. or
the ingenious Mr.. PLAT himself. that con-
celved the great idea OF making charge
for the opportunity to gaze upon the Hon.
JACOB SLoAr PLATr-FAssETT's attractive
countenance? The boxes and seats on the
platform at the ratification meeting in Mr..
CARNRaIR's Music Hall were reserved. and
only persons who paid were allowed to
occupy these places Of honor. 1t was an
able expedient for raising money. and it
put the representatives Of the better ele-
ment into positions where they could be seen
and properly admired by the rank and file
Of the party.
We suppose that this grand financial idea
is not for one night only, but for the whole
campaign. The members OF the Union
League Club will thus be able to be present
at Republican meeting without having
their sensibilitics Jared by proximity to
gentlemen whose Republcanism is more
ardent than their own. but who are not al
lowed to visit the magnificent unlicensed
barroom at the corner OF Thirty-ninth street
and tho Fifth avenue. Without mingling
with the populace. the decorative Republic
cans OF the Union League can see and hear
for themselves the workings Of the Plat
photograph. and in buying the boxes they
can feel sure that they will get something
for their money. A subscription to the Re-
publican campaign fund is not always at
tended with this feeling Of certainty.
The show must be worth seeing. Wo
cannot advise citizens OF this town to go to
tho extent OF paying for boxes. but they
may we'll have curiosity enough to see the
performance and the chief performer. The
circus In It's best days was nothing to the
PLATr-FAssErT combination. What Is the
