CLPVEL1ND IN THIS CAMPAIGN.

Mr. Cleye!ands position in this campaign has
been explained by one of his sincerest admirers
rs. in effect the homage which virtue is bound
to pay to vice when virtue is hungry and vice
has the key to the cupboard. This is about right
although we never thought to see it in "The
Evening Post" Mr.. Cleveland comes to the
rescue of Tammany for the same reasons that
prevailed to draw from him the letter indorsing
John r. Fellows. He is now, as he was then, an
eager candidate for the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency. He is weak now, as he was
then. with the numerous and powerful rag
tag and bobtal element of his party. The ward
politicians, the ginmill bummels, the heelers and
the toUshs are necessary to the satisfaction of
his ambition. Much as he affects to despise
them, removed as he processes to keep himself
from them, they are the bone and sinew, the
heart and the muscles of the Democracy. So
thinks Grover Cleveland.
If Cleveland is a strong politician. it is be-
cause of popular impression, more or less gen.
eral. that he possesses conscience and nerve
Nobody credits him with originality or creative
craftsmanship. He is not profound, or brill
liant. or el-educated, or refined, or far seeing
These qualities have never been claimed for
him. His friends say he is "safe" earnest
honest. well-meaning, sensible and, above ALL
sturdy, sef-reliant and brave. And there's no
DENYING that our politics sadly needs such char
acters. In our system of enlightened self gov
ernment one Cromwell is worth dozen Bacons
But a reputation for resolute integrity is not to
be preserved by trucking to the devil when
ever he seems to control the situation.
Mr. Cleveland stood before the United States
on Tuesday night as the apologist of Tammany
Hall. "Om opponents" he said, are Shrek
ing throughout the State the dement's and dan
eerous procvities of a certain political organiza-
ton whose members support the principles and
candidates OF the Democratic party. L. would
be quite easy to show that even if all they allege
against this organization were true the perils
they present to the people are baselcss and alb
surd But it appears to me that the argument
of such a question beitt'eS an important situa-
ton - Does it? it is alleged that Tammany
Hall is society organized TO steal money from
the public treasury; that it is kept together by
the cohesive power Of public plumber" that
it is robbing the people Of this city annually of
at least ten millions of dollars; that Roswell p.

lPOLOGETTC.

We infer from the inquiry which our courteous
contemporary, 1.-THE World" makes in connec-
tion with The TRIBUNE's account of the Demo-
cratic mass meeting in Madison Square Garden
that our mild hammered contemporary does not
entirely agree with us as to the character OF the
demonstration "What possible use" says our
gentle contemporary, "can there be in lying
about the composition and conduct OF meeting
which 5000 people attendedT II an answer
is demanded we should feel constrained to say,
timdly, No possible use. Indeed, we might go
further and say there could be no possible use
in living about meeting even if there wee only
$4,000 people in attendance, or, in fact, in lying
about anything. THE TRIBUNE's description Of
the crowd at the meeting as " a struggling howl
ing, ieerng whiskey -permeated Tammany mob"
is characterized by our amiable contemporary as
"not only deliberate outrage on truth, but a
coarse and vulgar insult to the representative
business men of New-Y York"
Our attention being called to the subject with
such politene:s of manner, we feel impelled to
say that THE TRIBUNE really did not mean to
outrage truth or insult the representative bust
ness men. Our influential contemporary. "The
Sum- whose authority will hardly be disputed,
said of the meeting that the enthusiasts
stamped and roaTed and shouted to such an
extent that they did not hear more than half
what was said from the platform" also that " the
police had to force a way for the orators, and
very early in the evening those in front had
broken down the railing dividing off the re-
porters' tables and had nearly annihate the
reporters 1t was almost worth a mans life to
try to get out of that crowd; and it goes on
to say: "Fun was rampant before the speak
ing began. Somebody started peltng rolled up
papers at those who were standing. This be-
came popular, and paper missiles rained on the
bare heads of the unfortunatas in front" If this
does not describe "a struggling, bowling jeer-
ing, whiskey -permeated Tammany mob The
TRIBUNE's report was inaccurate, and we apollo
gize to the representative business men of New
York" We cannot resist the responsiveness OF
an appeal to our sense of justice, which begins
with "what possible use can there be in lying %

THAT 4 DEMOCRATIC LEGISLA1O IKE
WOULD MEAN.

Can the people of this State afford to elect
Democratic Legislature? 1t is an important
question; it comes home to every voter, and
there can be only one answer to it. Unless it is
desirable that nothing should be done at Albany
for the promotion of practical reform, unless it
is desirable to open the flood-gates of extrava-
CANT and useless appropriations, unless it is de-
sirabe to encourage the lobby and embarrass
the friends of honest legislation, Legislature
Democratic in both its branches would be
public calamity.
That this is 50 is clearly made to appear in
the letter about the Legislature which will be
found on another page. 1t is pretty generally
conceded that ballot reform, the revision of the
imperfect law which was passed two years ago,
will be the leading subject of legislation next
winter. The demand is general from the true
friends of the reform for a blanket ballot. But
nothing can be more certain than that Demo
cratic Legislature would be violently opposed
TO that sort of ballot. The facts which our
correspondent presents in support of this con-
tention give it the force of demonstration.
Nearly all the old Democratic members who have
been renominated have already gone on record
as being opposed to the blanket ballot. That
tells the tale 1t is not to be supposed that
legislators who voted against the blanket ballot
in 1890 would vote for it in 1892. Compare
the Democratic with the Republican record on
this subject. Fourteen Republican Senators now
in office are candidates for reelection, and they
all voted in favor of the blanket ballot in 1890.
That ought to be enough to unite all the re-
formers in the State in an effort to keep the
7 noislature ont of the hands of the Democracy
Taxpayers for reasons equally cogent, ought to
make common cause with the reformers. The
letter contains suggestive paragraph on this
point. As has often been pointed out, it was
when Democrats had fullest swing at Albany
that taxes were highest and the public finances
were managed the worst.

At least one step toward harmony between the
Union Theological Seminary and the PreSby-
teran General Assembly has been taken. Per
haps more than one. 1t is something gained, at
any rae, that the Seminary people have at last
come face to face with DR.. Patton, who has been
looked upon as their foe, if not their prosecutor.
The practical outcome of the conference between
the ASsemblys committee and the Seminarys
directors, however, is an agreement between
them that the compact entered into by the Sem
mary with the Assembly in 1870 is still bind
ing. The next thing will be to determine
whether under this compact the transfer of DR..
Briggs from one chair to newly created pro-
fessorshp was equivalent to new appointment
and therefore subject to the Assembly's sanction
or dsapprova. This has been reserved for
future consideration.

QUEER LOGIC.

The leading article in yesterdays issue Of the
new Tammany organ was devoted to answering
the inquiry SO often made why it is that the
Republican party can make no Roadway in this
CITY against the overwhelming Democratic as
cendancy." The conclusion reached is that it is
because some Republican leaders known as
"Tammany Republicans have been in the habit
OF making "deals'' with Tammany whereby
they divided the spoils of office, and the Repub-
iicans who obtained office in this way were no
better than the Democrats chosen by Tammany.
gain and again" it says, they have defeated
Efforts at municipal REFORM and showed their
preference for Tammany rule by putting up can
didates of their own at critical times to prevent
the election of reform candidates" This we
understand to mean that the Republicans, being
the only constant and consistent opponents of
Tammany. have "again and again. helped Tam
many by doing precisely what they are organized

Democracy refomers have only one end in view
and that is to get something out of Tammany

absurd, it would be impossible for these creatures
ever to stay in one place long enough to form

next day.

THE ISSUES IN NEW- FORR.

This will not do MesSrs. Democrats. You
have no business TO dodge an issue throughout
an entire campaign, in your platform and IN
sneecbes and newspapers. and then to find fault
with the Republicans because that issue is not
aaeouately discussed. In the Democratic plat
form in this State not a line or word was given
70 the tariff question. From the very beginning
of the campaign to this day that topic has been
studiousy avoided by Democrats, officially ana
in every other way, and they have kept up
nernetual clatter about the refusal OF Repub-
Iican Congress to disgrace the country by turn
inc over the preparations for the Worlds Far
to the most corrupt and Shamefully partisan city
government in the land. But now. with aston
ishing impuGence, these same Democrats assert
that the Republicans are Intentionally avoiding
the tariff question.
The election this year will influence the Ma
tioral election next year to some extent pevonu
doubt Both parties know this, and both there
fore expect to gain or lose this year some votes
on account of the wishes of voters respecting
National issues. The Republican party faces
the fact without shrinking or equivocation It's
nIatform indorses the National policy which is
embodied in the Low Tariff bill. It's journals
and speakers do not hesitate to uphold that act'
and ask the support Of the people for their party
because of the merits and the beneficial results
IF the new tariff. But the Democrats refuse
70 meet that question. In their platform they
refused to touch that issue, and their candidates.
sneakers and journals spend all their time IN
the discussion of other matters. The natural
Inference is the true one Tho Democratic
marty is conscious that it has nothing to gain IN
this State by pushing the tariff question to the
front and can only hope to minimize its loss
of votes on account of that issue by avoiding
II as far as possible. If beaten, it will then
claim that no National issues entered into the
decision of the people. that the sole question was
whether Tammany Hall was fit to be trusted
with power and vast responsibility. Very well;
on that issue also the Republicans are entirely
ready to face the people and their verdict.
When Democrats blame Congress for sending
the Worlds Fair to Chicago the obvious and
true reply is that the infamous partisanship and
the shameful corruption of the city government
here would have made it National disgrace to
invite foreign nations to witness great Far
controlled and plndered by Tammany Hall, and
that this same disreputable organization, which
then deprived the city of its chances by snatch
incS for partisan use all the powers of the city
government is now threatening to seize every
part and function of the State government for
the same dishonest end. If the Democrats pre-
fer that issue they are welcome to it. But they
have no right to pretend that the tariff question
is now or has at any time been avoided by the
Republicans of this State.

presented in the two great meetings held last
evening in the Carnegie Music Hall and the
Lenox Lyceum. At least 10000 people were
in attendance at the two gatherings, and Repub-
lican fervor reached high pitch. The business
mems meeting was one of the most successful
and striking of the campaign, the managers
demonstrating that they meant business in tho
most concrete, matter-of-fact way. The speeches
of Messrs. Claflin, Smith, Taylor and Einstein,
as well as of Mr. Fassett and Mr.. Vrooman, were
