avid Bill, and another scarcely less
valuable to the country by taking the
most advanced and Incorporating posi-
tion against silver free coinage that has
ever been taken by any assembly of
either party. The Saratoga Convention
will be remem bered and honored Ia polit-
ical history for the manly and effective
way In which IL has dealt with these Two
public nuisances. II Mr. Fassett were
not carrying Mr. Platt upon mis- back be
would defeat Mr. Flower, we think. He
Is so much the more presentable sandi-
date OF the two, he could be fought
for with SO much more heart and spirit
and genuine pleasure, and he has
such especially valuable qualifications
for the office that the contrasts of the
canvass would work uniformly and
powerfully in his favor Then,
Mr.. Flowers party has gone much fur
Their than Mr.. Fassett's ia it's opposition
to free coinage The platforms utter
ance on that subject will be a source Of
great strength. The question for the
voter, for the voter, that Is, who asks
any questions at all, Is whether he and
the state and the community would be
better of with Mr.. Flower as governor,
under the daily guidance Of some in
formed and discreet mentor, or with Mr.
Fassett as governor, open not only to the
advice but subject to the direct com
mands Of Mr. Platt--and Plattism is a
monstrous thing
New York Morning Advertiser.
Mr. Flower Is whole souled, genial
old fashioned citizen, with something Of
pod sugar attachment, rough and even
uneouth at times, but strong Ia his hold
upon rural people. who love TO talk Of
the days when they went barefoot and
warmed their stone bruised heels of
mornings in the frosty clover fields
where the kline had slept He is 8 rich
man, but his wealth was honestly SC
quired, and a large share Of 1t has been
devoted to furtherlng the cause Of Democ-
raey, as he understands Ii. Mr.. Flower
loves the Constitution. He occasionally
Incorporates 1t ia his Congressional
speeches DE is in sympathy with the
people, and in his homely way he ex-
pounds Democratic doctrine effectually.
he is not much of a tariff reformer, but
he is sound on the financial issues, aud as
candidate before the people he will be
strong
New York Sun.
The Republican candidate this year
enjoys an advantage over every predeces-
sor since the time of Mr. Tilden. 1t has
been many years now since the ruling
Republican powers of New York have
laoored with unmixed desire 30 elect a
governor The tears shed for Warner
Miller did not fail inside the breastworks
OF the party organization The defeat of
Davenport was not regarded as an un
mitigated misfortune. Against Folger
there was a direct revolt. This year MIR.
Platt has his own candidate, and besides,
more strength is In the Republican
machine than was IN it even In the days
OF Roscoe Conkling. Against these the
Democratic forces are to follow Mr..
Flower, and they must follow him to
victory. He is an able and popular
Democrat. His success will be the corner
stone Of victory in 1892

New York Recorder.
The ticket is appropriate to its missio
