TWO SPECIMENS OF BUNCOMBE

To the Editor of the jersey City Beics:-
1t is gratifying to find a Democratic
editor In New Jersey with sense enough
to understand and courage enough TO de-
nounce the latest effect of Governor Hill
to attract the notice and excite the ad-
miration Of the Democratic masses. l
refer of course TO his refusal to recognize
the validity Of Buckeley's requisiIion for
a fugitive criminal from Connecticut.
Your editorial article in last Sundays
edition Of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS takes
a very just anG sensible view OF the mat
ter and its criticism of New York's
Governor, however severe, is entirely de-
served. This vulgar aud transparent
demagoRue seems disposed TO stop at
nothing in his pursuit OF q certain kind
Of popularity: but this most recent achiev-
ment of his in setting himself up as a
tribunal TO determine who is Governor of
Connecticut cannot fail to draw down
upon him the rfdicule and contempt of
all man whose good opinion is worth
having.
While speaking of this exhibition OF
~gubernatorial buncombe | am reminded
Of another kind of buncombe% INDUCED in
by Mr.. Inspector Byrnes and your es-
teemed contemporary, the Sun. The In
speetor In his own professional sphere is a
man of uurivalled skill and justly enjoys
the respect and confidence of the people.
The Sun is q great newspaper conducted
with wonderful ability and ordinarily
perfectly sans on all subjects except Hill.
Cleveland and the tariff. When, how
ever, the Inspector in his letter declining
the decoration of the Crown of Italy, ten
dered tn him by King Humbert, says: ITO
my mind there is no human distinction
greater than the proud consciousness of
being a citizen of the great republic"
he utters the ~silllest sort of rot. IL the
mere being a citizen of the United STATES
is the greatest of human distinctions, it
is saddening to reflect that Mr.. Byrne's
s~ubordinates are chiefly engaged in the
business of pushing about and miscel-
l~aneously clubbing and arresting and
