We commend 10 our readers the correspondence
Of his accomplished substitute.

he can afford to laugh at the Flower boom, but

and expecting to win the prize. II i natural
he should feel that his chances OF capturing

his D9r;y in the state He has long taken an
ardent interest in the Democracy, and has
stcadiy lahorcd for is success on the stump,

His devotion 10 the cause has been further
shown by liberal contributions to campaign cX-
pcnscs-cypcnscs, Of course. Of the legitimate
kind. the General being man Of unblemshcd
integrity. Nor are his claims uron the nomna-
ton solely or chiefly based upon party con-
sidera'iorS He is now serving his second
term under Hill, and contends with obvious
force that unless the next Democratic STATE
Convention summons him to take the Executive
Chair it will be guilty of an absolutely indie
feasible outrage upon Civil Service reform.
Still another consideration makes for Mr..
JoncS'S nomination. He has not little strength
in the rural sections of Now-Yori. For several
wears he has been an acceptable speaker at
county fairs and other gatherings where farm
ers most DO congrcgatc, and has steadily culti-
waited the Granger vote.
