New York and Chicago.
The regular organization Of the Demo-
cratic party in New York State elected
delegates TO the Democratic National Con-
vention several months ago. The CIEvE-
LAND men in that State became highly IN
dignapt and proceeded at once to organize
o faction of boilers and to set up for them
selves as if they had been independent OF
both the Republican and the Democratic
parties. This new organization OF boilers
called State convention TO meet at SYRIA
cuse on the Slst day of this month. there
TO do not what their duty as Democrats
might require them to do but what they
might deem 1t necessary to do IN order 70
defeat Of q nomination for President the
man whom the regular Democrats
of their own State had selected as
their standard-bearer. In a word, the
CLEVELAND organization in New York is an
organization Of boilers. and Dir. CLEyE-
LAND has not said word TO them on the
subject of their attempt to rule or rum the
Democratic party in the largest state IN
the Union. One word from him two
months ago would probably have suitlced
to put an end to the Mugwump vote. One
word from him might have caused the
New York boilers to resume their aiIegi-
ance to the Democratic party. and thus
have insured the defeat of the force bill as
a consequence of the election of Demo-
cratic President and Democratic House
Of Representatives this year. Either the
men who sent from New York to Chicago
delegation solid for HILL constitute the
real, genuine Democratic party oil New
York, or else there is no Democratic party
in that State. And the Virginia Democrats
must. on the 18th of May, choose as be-
tween the regulars and the boilers of the
Empire State.
The MALONE party was organized IN
this Stste in like manner. In 1879 the Ma
HoSITIs assembled in this city and boited
the regular Democratic ticket. Yet even
as late o. 1880 they claimed to be Demo
Gratis and ran in this State HANCOCK
ticket of their own. This same game-this
boiling under the guise of opposing par
ticuiar man or policy-is to be played IN
New York. The Syracuse convention must
nominate set of electors belonging TO
the CLEVELAND faction, or else the boilers
will saw OF the limb upon which they are
sitting.
We are opposed to thepolicv of instruct
ing the Virginia delegates 10 Chicago to
vote for anybody. We would leave them
free to do what NAV seem TO be best after
having had afull conference with the dele
gates from all over the Union. But If they
are to be instructed, by all means let the
first instruction be positive command to
recognize the regular delegates from New
York State. Surely nobody would think
of recognizing the delegates sent by the
boilers. Recollect that the Syracuse con-
vention will represent nobody but boilers.
Recollect that the convention must either
finish the work of boiling and select
tbirty-six new candidates for electors, or
else must support the regular Democratic
electoral ticket. Virginia must not counte-
nance this bolt. Her State Convention. II
il lnstructs at all. must speak out In behalf
of the regular Democratic party in New
York or suffer her nomination to be con-
strued as manifestation of sympathy with
boilers who are outside of the regular
Democratic organization of that State.
This is an important matter. There will
be two competing delegations at Chicago
from New York, and Virginia's delegates
will have to vote for the admission of the
one delegation and the exclusion of the
other. Can there be any doubt as to
which set OF delegates will be admitted |?
But Suppose the national convention
should be guilty of the folly and wrong of
admitting the Boilers and excluding the
Regulars, what would result? Would the
Regulars rally to the support of candi-
date thus nominated by Boilers! Would
Tammany's 13O, 600 voters be parties to the
branding of their organization as Boilers
Certainly the Syracuse convention Will
be q convention of Boilers. There can be
no doubt as to that. Certainly if the
electoral ticket selected by the Regulars 10
the ticket all good Democrats ought to
support, the delegates to Chicago appoint
ed by the Regulars are entitled to the same
recognition. The electors and the Chicago
delegates were chosen by the same con-
vention.
Under what flag will all true Virginians
range themselves Will they vote to adj
nit the New York Regulars or the New
York Boilers into the Chicago conventionf
1t would be well for persons soliciting the
votes of their acknowledgements rs delegates
to Chicago to declare themselves upon this
point.
