farms, the mills, the mines and the facto

minister OF happiness, as il was before ii,
interment. Not the least of its merits is
that it stays at home. 1t is alays moving
among the people; always present and al.
ways ready and available for good; neve,
for evil. The money Kings don't like it, ior
| it disables them from turning on the pres.
sure, and letting loose a panic when il
may suit their purpose. Hence the people
like it, but Mr.. CIeS elanj and Wall Street
don't like it.
But Mr.. Hill has declared no hostility TO
silver. as Cleveland has done. He is not
committed to any policy adverse to silver,
and it is rot probable that he ever will! op-
pose and antagonize the manifest will of
the people in this matter, in which 1t ap-
any other subject. Neither can the tariff
wing OF the Democratic party, if there is
such a wing, find fault with his views Oh
that subject. His position is that OF the
mass of the Democratic party: Such ad-
jastment of duties rs will yield sufficient
revenue. and vel give foreign manu!ac-
turers and producers no advantage over
Americans in our own markets. That is
the true tariff policy, the traditional DEM
ocratic policy, and any other is vicious,
but system of robbery. half disguised,
but greedy eredacious robbery none the
less. 1t is plundering the purse of the
poor. to gorge the Golfers of the rich; giving
the lean to toll and fast that the fat may
revel and feast. That is Republican tariff
policy, but 1t is not the policy of the Dem
ocratic party and David B. Hill
There is another powerful reason for the
of Hill which must not be ig-
nored. He will have the undivided sup
port of Tammany Hall. 1t Is fcresone
conclusion that we cannot elect the next
president without New York, and we cam
not carry that state with Tammany Hall
against us. Those who are more sanguine |
and enthusiastic than wise, may think we |
can. but the men who see things as they |
ire. know we cannot. We must have New |
York, and to have that, we must have
rammany. This will doubtlessly call forth |
ne earnest protest of the "rigidiy righ-
,eous'" Already we seem to see them open 1
wild. their eyes, and lit their brows in dis
nay, and their noses in disgust "Wbat!
hose the pet of Tammany Hall! that PAL
ice of the wicked genii!" Even so, friends.
We must do it. 1t is the part of wIs,l. m
% divert all .orces that may work for evil
o purposes of ssod. Tammany is q vast
power that will be intensely active in the
coming campaign, for evil OF for good, as
he cese may be. We propose to induce i.
q act for good, with the Dem cratic party'
instead of for evil, with the Republics M.

liI that IL Is hot college of saints; Polit-
,ai organizations OF the kind never are;
III while IL Is a. good as the best Oi tpeIn,

uestion OF eiecting a president, not oi
onverting and civllizing a Tribe OF saw
Ses; not Il question OF ethics, but OF votes
ountry, that sinners vote exactly as often
S saints. But the former very greatly
utnumLer Tie latter, and IL is by numbers
nd not by sanctity that elections are car
led. Tammany Hall, with its affiliations,

,e will have them.
Ii David b. Hill he the Democratic nom- ,
the only man in the Democratic party of ,
HON that may be predicted with cer-
,inty just now. With New York, there
re sure Democratic states enough 10 elect
18th electoral votes 10 spare. Hill can
irry New York as certainly as the Re
ublican candidate can carry Pennsylva- 8
la. Besides, there is not a solitary DEM
,ratic state in the Union, nor one which
any case wonld go democratic, which, t
ill reject him. There is nothing in his
resent opinions, or in his past record,
lat can make him distasteful to any dem {
ratio state, or any democratic voter.
1t is conceded on all Sides that in the
ext National . Convention. after a few pre- G
minary ballots, the real contest will be
,tween Cleveland and Hill. We have
cry fully set forth our own reasons for
the latter. He is the man, and
I'M in this conviction, We inscribe his
anne on our battle flag, and give 1t to the
'eeZe. And We cannot withhold expires
on of the belief, that democrats of every
ction of orr couhtry, putting aside all q
kes and dislikes and looking only 10 the .
neral welfare to be assured by the src-
IS Of the Democratic party, will float the
me flag, and rallying around it, stand i
IN and fast to the faith so declared, until
e battle is fought and won. Statuere est
