Rol,ers Not 10 BE Endorsed.

We explained Yesterday the present con-
Aition of things in New York. The SYRIA
cuse convention is TO assemble fonr weeks
hence-on the 3lst Of May. That conven-
ton is to be an assemblage of boilers VINO
refuse TO act with the regular Democratic
organization of New York. In New YORK
city they consist largely. so far as the
leaders are concerned, of MuGwumps ana
Of pretended Democrats who refused even
nj the last municipal elections 20 support
the regular nominees of the Democratic
party. These men are nothing in the world
but boilers. They are not all Mugwumps.
Some of them are simply poilticai
cranks. Their motto is Rule or Rum"
But they are so wrapped up in concelt and
have such thick skins that they really
think the Democratic party ought 10 regis
Ter their DEGREES whenever State conyen-
ton is held, and have no principles other
than those protested by a certain class OF
financial and party quacks IN the Empire
CITY. Be sure these Mugwumps and their
associates have no kind feelings towards
{ne people of the South. On the contrary,
they hold that the southern people ought
20 accept the financial theories OF wall
street. and the political theories OF the
man who caused Republican postmaster
TO be kept in Office in New YORK through
out CLEyELAsD's administration, ana
negro to be appointed REGISTER OF Wis IN
Washington city.
VIII Virginia fellowship such pretended
Democrats as these?-men who bolt the
nominations made by the party they
claim as their own? Are Virginia Demo
Gratis expected to break up the fountains
of the great deep in the Empire State and
let the whole land be deluged with party
anarchism! What possible chance would
there be OF electing as President OF the
United States man who bad headed the
Boilers of New York and avowed his
sympathy with them! Why. the Tam
many boys would laugh to scorn propo-
sition to cut their own throa.s, and
the very moment it became known
that Tammany had boted-had COM
mended the poisoned chalice to the lips
of the Mugwumps and their associates
there would no longer be any hope or car
rying New York entertained by any man,
and HARRISON would enter upon a second
term backed. rs his grandfather was
In 1911. by almost the whole voting
strength OF the Union.
Will it be said that CLEVELAND has not
encouraged the Boilers? Then you admit
and he admits that the Boilers ought TO
be put down To do this service to the
Democratic party and to the country Mr..
CLEVELAND is the very best qualified man
in the country. He is the pet of the Bolt
ers. II il. in fact. on his account, that
they have become Boilers.
What is the duty of the Virginia Demo-
crats under these circumstances Shall
they become the friends and allies OF the
Boilers. or the friends and allies OF the
regular Democrats of the Empire State!
Tn the name of common sense and party
fealty. when will you be able TO organize
another Tammany to stand up for the
rights of the South if with your eyes open
YOU rush into the trap prepared for you
by the present Tammany's enemies and
the enemies of the Democratic party, ana
instruct your delegates to the Chicago
convention to stand by the Boilers and
their favorlte?
The Syracuse convention will be just as
truly convention of Boilers as the Vir-
ginis MALONE Mozart Hail convention OF
1879 was; and there will be at Chicago nc
delegates from New York except those APP
pointed by the regular Democratic party
organization of that State. and those here
after TO be appointed by the Syracuse
convention or the New York Adullamites
The cave of Adullam is not the proper
place for Virginia Democrats to go 10 il
order TO find party associates. Suppose
the CLEVELAND men bolt in Virginia anC
send delegation of their own to Chicago
or suppose. if such a supposition rs posi-
BILE, that the HILL men, OF the PALaEl
men, or the CARLISLE men. secede from
the Virginia convention of May 18th ant
send delegation of their own TO Chicago
is there a good Democrat in Virginia VIII
would endorse such bolt? Well, tn
New York bolt is just such a bolt as eithe
of them would be.
