The success OF Hillism at the Sara
toga convention in placing Judge May
nard on the Democratic ticket has
reused the indignation OF tho Demo-
cratic press to a point OF renouncing all
support OF the mendacious candidate.
Not one New York city paper has n
pleasant word for him. The Ecsnmg
Post, which has been rampantly and
unreasonab!y Democratic OF late years,
turns its back on him aud pats the Re-
publican candidate on the back in this
fashion:
Mr. Bartlett, the Republican candidate for the
court OF appeals. might with advantage be better
known, but he Is a man Of good standing at lhc
bar and bears an unblCmishcd name anu comes
OF good stock, for he Is the grandson oil diStih-

1t may be well to recall the crime Tor
which Maynard was denounced by the
bar OF New York, irrespective OF party
utilization. 1t was while he was serving
as deputy attorney general during the
fall elections Of 1892. The New York
state senate was in doubt, the result
Ringing on the returns from DutChess
county. MAYNARD was Hills henchman,
and as the question OF apportionment
was to come before the legislature that
was toconvene these worthless concocted
scheme to give the Democrats control
OF that body. Maynard's specific crime
was theft. This is how it was accom-.
plished as related by the New York

toll In the controllers Office Mr. Maynard
found that the n0fhthgs natl had not yet be3n

Is it any wonder that decent, self
respecting Democrats are turning their
backs on such candidate for an office
that demands qualifications that are
entirely foreign to his character. AS
infamous as was the gubernatoral rob-
berry in West Virginia, it bears no com.
parison in downright. common every
day villainy with Maynard's action.
