The election Of a Republican to Congress IN
this city last winter in a district which In 1891
gave Democratic plurality Of nearly 5000 shown
that old ideas about sure" Democratic ds,ricts
must be discarded. The fact that nearly ever
Tammany man has Democratic opposition should
incite Republicans to make an earnest fight an
along the line. The people in this great manN.

That learned jurist Police Justice Grady
saw fit to take what scoffers might term the
hlkh.moralty dodge yesterday. Two prisoners
arraigned before him intmated that they had
been told they would escape trouble because
some Of their associates had great influence
with the courts. Thereupon Justice Grady
wrapped his erInine closely around him and
Delivered himself with judicial dignity that was
positively appalling. You have been mlsled,"
he said In icy tones that sent a solemn hush
through the courtroom. There Is nobody who
has any influence with this court, and whoever
says ne has does not tell the truth" That
settles II. Justice Grady is indicated out Of his
own mouth. For he himself hath said It,"
Grady Is plainly in no mood to be triHed with
or tempered with while Tammany is In such
critical state.

New-York the best officials that the citizenship
OF the county afforded His opinion Of his fellow
citizens may be readily estimated from the char

Tammany's new candidate for Mayor seems to
have brought a perfect hornets nest about his
ears by making the withdrawal OF ex-Assembly-

acceptance OF the nomination. For the better
