Tammany IN Limo.

We rucss that we guessed right whom we
guessed that Mr.. HUI had not yet entered
into the political battlefield. because he
considered IT more polite TO stand with
his Tammany- Hall friends, and lead them
by degrees mp to tho support OF Mr..
CLEVELAND. IL may have been unneces-
sary for him TO do so, but there is no tell
ing. Sometimes even as powerful and rc-
liable an organization as rammany needs
good advice from wise friends. We re-
member well that speaking for Tammany
Hall at 81. Louis in 1876 the lately-de-
ceased United States Senator HERMAN told
the Virginia delegation that Democrats
would carry New York State in spite OF
the nomination OF Mr.. TnDEs for Presi-
dent Of the United States. Tammany had
zoo representatives at 81. Louis. And so we
have no doubt that the 1'ammsny repre-
sentatiyes at the New York love-feast OF
last week assured Mr.. CLEyELAND's repre-
sentatvos that Tanmany would be found
in the forefront of the battle from now
until election-day. Mr.. Hill, as we said
yesterday. no doubt thoughtit would be
the best policy for him TO seem to follow
Tammsny rather than TO lead 1t.
The hand of Tammsny is TO be seen In
the resolutions offered by Mr.. BoUnKE
CocKRaY at the Friday night meeting. Ihat
is to say. Tammanyites. like the south
ern Democrats, regard the force bill rs the
most important issue involved in the cur
rent campaign. The Tammany resolutions
endorse the resolutions Of the Chicago
convention en- bloc, but afterwards single
out tho Republican force bill for separate
and specific condemnation, just Is the
southern States have generally done. Inc
Tammany resolutions denounce, as
tending 10 subvert our constitutional sys-
TEN, the Republican policy of establish
ing Federal control of elections through
out the country. whether that control be
exercised by partisan boards, such as the
Republicans contemplated when in power.
or by non-partisan boards. such as tue
President under stress of political condi-
tons declares that he is now ready to ac-
cept."
When the bugle sounds Tammany will
be found aligned with the Democrats OF
the whole Union. and Mr.. HUI will be
found az tho head Of the famous organlza-
ton pointing out the way aud leading the
gallant Democracy to another triumph
over the Republican malignsnts. The
election does not seem TO be 50 near at
hand in New York as 1t seems to be to US
here. In the Empire Stats both parties
usually favor short campaigns. The peo-
pie do not seem TO be as fond Of politics
as we are here IN Virginia. and 80 the cam
paiens are usually made much shorter in
New York than here. Anyhow, we ma'
look forward TO fierce arralgn'
ment of the Republican party 10
that great State Tsmmany will
make 1t red-hot for the Republican
malignants, and will on the Sth OF Novem-
Der roll up such majority tor CLEVELAND
as will teach the Republican sectionalists
that they have lived too long. The glad
tidings that New York stands with her sis
ter States of the South will be sent
throughout the length and breadth of the
land. 1t will be victory for the real
friends Of the Constitution and for the
supporters of law and order. 1t will be a
victory for the whole country-not for a
gang Of sectionalists. 1t will be victory
that will not need to be supplemented by
another such triumph in order to the en-
tombment of the Republican party. 1t
will be a victory that will consign that
party
"To the vile dust from whence 1t sprung
Unwept, unhonored. and unsung."
Well done, TammRny.
