New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1894-11-17

Hugh j. Grant says that he didn't have any
assessment to pay to Tammany Hall But his
$1,000 expenditure dear. no matter by what
name he calls IL.
Notwithstanding The Presidents expression OF
complete confidence in Secretary Carlisle. II is
plain that the head Of the Treasury Department
is having hard row To hoe In the language
Of the poet. his way IS "thorny and cruel, and
cold and gray" The only escape from the con-
yictlon that the President had subjected him TO
indignity Is the belief that there has been some
tall Wing" somewhere. But apart from that, 1t
IL pretty we'll known that he wanted to come
over 10 New-York and make speech for Hin,
but was ordered by his chief not to give any
such exhibition OF ierncious activity. Then
three weeks ago he accepted an invitation to
speak at the Chamber Of Commerce dinner here
on November 90 but on Wednesday Of this week
came to the conclusion that II would be impossi-
bl. 10 keep the engagement on account Of his
absorption In his annual report. OF course he
knew ON October "a that his report would be on
the stocks at this time Apparently the Conse-
Grated one has interviewed again and prohibited
the speech. for fear that Mr.. Carlisle might put
his foot In IT," Verify these are hard times for
Democrats-in more senses than one.
Not the least Of President Clevelands trials
are MS extraordinary Cabinet officers.
A little over a year ago Senator Hill proclaimed
that Maynard had done IAN act Of simple JUS
tice" The people have improved their oppor
tunity TO do an act OF simple justice to David
b. Hill No wonder he has nothing to say now
Recorder Smyth paid ont $500 IN his effort TO
secure reelection. Mr. GoT paid IS cents in the
way OF personal campaign expenses. The con-
trast Is Characteristic OF the men. Mr. Goff has
set an example which We hope TO see followed by
all candidates for judicial offices In the future
There can b. nothing more harmful TO the bench
than the prevalence Of the idea that places on
il can be bought-no mder word will answer. In
view Of the notorious fact that Tammany has
assessed candidates for juGgeshps $4,000 apiece.
President Cleveland has had his try at driving
wild horses Now IT'S the German Emperor y
turn.
Don't make any mistake about Bou-ke Cock
ran. He has let It be known JUS, where he
stands. He denounces his own party as "hetero-
geneous. discordant irreconcilable and incapa-
BILE" II Is no wonder hat he didn't want to
stand for Congress again the candidate OF
such party.
1t is a noteworthy coincidence that just at
the time when the Democrats with David b.
Hill at their head. supposed 10 be plotting 10
have the Legislature OF 1895 declared null and
void the State Canvassers OF 1891 should file
their last appeal In the action against them for
contempt OF court In canvassng the notorious
Mylod return from Duchess County. The case
has been decided against them by the General
Term which adjudged that they should pay
fines and costs to the amount OF nearly 5000
This is the only penalty to be exacted Of them
II the Court OF Appeals concurs with the lower
court and II mus. be confessed that 1t Is ridcu-
lousy light. Contempt OF court, with such i'm
portant results as flowed from the action Of the
Canvassers Of 1884, which costs those guilty OF
It less than 5000 apiece. is indeed dirt cheap"
Mayor Gilroy expects to go abroad after the
expiration OF his term. He will not be likely to
suffer for lack Of Tammany society while on the
other side.
