An Astonishing Reproach.

The Hartford Daily Times rebukes THE
Sun for keeping the tariff plank Of the Dem
ocratic platform before the party. 1t says
that we "insist every day upon making
that plank offensive. II possible"
II the Times means that the only way to
render the anti-protectionistde declaration and
pledge Of last year unobnoxious to the party
which registered the pledge is to keep 1t
out OF sight. to permit it to be forgotten. To
conspire for its repudation. to consent to
the Democracy's dishonor, why. then we
shall continue to insist every day upon
making that plank rs Offensive rs possible.
And we can promise that 1t shall be very
offensive before we get through with IT.;
very offensive to Democratic statesmen
destitute Of the sense OF political honor.
and to Democratic editors without pro-
fessional selfrespect.
We confess our utter inability to under
stand tho attitude OF u Democrat who. like
tho editor OF the Hartford Times. re-
proaches THE SUN for believing. with
GROVER CLEVELAND. that the pledges OF
the party before election should DO kept to
the letter now that the party Is in power.

contemporary lacked either honesty OF

Tho Struggle In New York.

Senator MURPHY has given an accurate
description OF the present contest in New
York. in declaring that it is o straig ght-out
fight between Democrats and Republicans.
without the perplexites or entanglements
OF Mugwump support on either side. The
familiar and sometimes damaging alli-
ances between the Republican minority and
Democratic malcontents in Democratic dis
tricts. have been uniformly rejected by
the Republicans. In Republican districts
OF the interior. too. the Democratic minor
ity has refused to make any alliance with
dissatisfied Republicans. 1t is, on both
sides. a straight-out fight all along the line
Wherever there has been bolt from reg
ular nomination. the boiling candidate is
running as an independent. and without as
sistance from his partys opponents When.
recently. in this city n proposition was
made to some Republicans to give a serious
aspect to the serio-comic nomination for
the office of Comptroller. of that able and
faithful public officer. THEODORE w. MYERS.
who had served two terms and was retired
exclusively on that account. the Repubi-
cans peremptorily refused; and they have
adopted q like course in the case OF the vari-
GUS nominees OF the Citizens Democracy,
Home Rule Democracy. Jacksonian De-
mocracy. and antl-Monopoly Democracy.
and every other professed. pretended. or
predatory Democracy.
The battle is then betwern the two great
organizations. a frank test Of numbers. and
fair challenge to the voters on the ques-
tion of party principle. 1t is true that few
OF the Mugwumps are endeavoring to have n
sort OF political side show of their own in op-
posing the election Of Judge ISAAC II. May
NARD. but although the Republicans do not
reject, and cannot prevent. such support
of Mr.. BARTLETT, Judge MAYNARD's limp
and mysterious Republican opponent. they
have carefully rcfraiued from any act
which would make such assistance Of any
material political value. In other words,
the Republicans OF New York believe this
year in going it alone" So do the Demo-
Gratis and while the result OF the campaign
cannot Of course. be equally satisfactory
to both parties. 1t is certain to grieve
and distress the forsaken Mugwumps
whose assistance is invoked by neither.

The Bahan Case,

Judge BARRETT has decided the disputed
BAHAN certificate case favorably to the ap-
plicant, and has overruled the decision Of
the Police Commissioners. rejecting his
nomination paper. The point involved Is a
new one undcr the present ballot law. and
Is not without interest. Under section 81 Of
the law. $50 citizens may put in nomination
a candidate for local Office by the signing OF.
afIlxing their addresses to. and acknowl-
edging before notary a certificate OF in
dependent candidature. Three hundred
and one citizens Of the Ninth Assembly dis
trict did sign the petition Of WALTER w.
BAHAS, and it was filed at Police Headquar-
ters in the prescribed form and at the legal
time. Subsequently 70 Of these signers de-
manded permission to revoke their assent to
Mr.. BAHANs candidature. and MS this would
bring the number below the $50 limit. the Po-
lice Commissioners rather. two OF them,
ono being absent and the other voting in
the negative-rei reiectcd his certificate and
denied his claim to place upon the official
ballot. He appealed to the Supreme Court
and Judge BARRETT's decision restores his
name to the official list. as published in THE
Sun yesterday.
The political aspect Of the BAHAN case Is
hardly less interesting. for the Ninth As
sembly district. in which Mr.. BAHAN is rum
ming. is the only one in town this year in
which there is upon the official ticket q
Democratic opponent to the regular party
candidate in tho field. A year ago local
nominations were made by the Tammany
organization in the Ninth district for Alder
man and Assemblyman. The term of the
former was two years; OF tho latter. one.
An arrangement appears 10 have been made
with the Tnmmany Hall leader of the dis
trict, whereby the Assembly candidate OF
that organization, Mr.. BAHAN. was assured
of two terms equal in duration to the one
term Of an Alderman. subsequently, tho
Tnmmany Hall leader died and his success
sor, u newcomer in the neiEhborhood, igno-
rant OF tho arrangement. or Indifferent to
it. advocated and secured the nomination
of another candidate. Mr. BAHAN and his
friends objected to this. and this is how it
happens that there are two Democratic
Tammany Hall candidates for the Assem-
bly, in the Ninth district this year, both sup
porting the whole Democratic ticket from
top to bottom. both avowing their hearty
allegiance to Tammany Hall. both appealing
to Democratic support. and each. under the
decision Of Judge BARRETT. having place
upon the official ticket.

Wo are pleased to know that so many OF
our people OF Italian birth have registered for
the elections Of this year. Several thousands
OF them took ont their final papers Of citizen
ship last month. 80 as TO be able to vote. II is
n proof that they appreciate the political rights
TO which all citizens OF this country are entitled.
and that they are desirous OF exercising their
proper influence in the administration OF pub
lie affairs. For years tho Italians here were
negligent of their political duties. and 1t was
not until the Presidential election OF November
last that they gave any marked evidence Of
their power at the ballot box.
The Tribune boasts that n good many OF our
italian American citizens will vote tho Rcpub-
lican ticket. That is not unlikely. 1t Ia their
right to vote Just as they like and to pick out
such candidates as they believe to be the best.
and to sustain any party which seems to
them to represent the truest principles. Every
voter among them should carefully read the
Democratic platform and tho Republican plat
form before no makes p his mind how to vote.
Voting is u very serious thing.

Tho Possible Outcome OF the War in

paradoxical assertion that general war

Danube or the Rhine. 1t begins to look as
though there might be some ground for tho

the Spanish defenders Of Melilla and their
Rifiian assailants is assuming daily, larger
proportions. and imposing burdens which
must severely tax the resources OF the
