THE GANGS METHODS.

The predictions of THE REPUBLICAN yesterday morning that the Gaaette gang would show its hand in the pri- maries has been verified.
 The men that it could not use were knifed and defeated without mercy and a majority of the delegation in the con- yention next Saturday will be willing tools of one of the most corrupt political gangs that has ever existed here or elsewhere.
 The defeat Of prominent and respect ed business man like MT. B. Heyman and the election in his stead of man like Meador because he is the tool of men no better than himself is utterly indefensible; and no man will be nominated at the convention unless he is pledged before hand to car " out the behests of the cormorants who have set up the pins and fixed the slate thus far.
 Honesty in politics or anything else for that matter is an unknown quantity to the machine that manipulates the Democratic conventions of this city, f, and that anything good could come from it was not to be expected; but that it would be so brazen ill it's actions is somewhat of a surprise to those rep utable Democrats who were induced by fair promises to allow tine use of their names yesterday.
 If the Democratic business men who believe in clean politics, fair play and an honest government act wisely they will refuse to further countenance ring that has simply used their names as a cloak of responsibility.
 There is nothing reputable about the contemplated actions of the gang. It is as desperate as it WAS last year and for the same reason. It behooves all good citizens to stand aloof that they may be in a position to support g clean and honest ticket free from cliques and jobbery of every kind and having only the welfare of the city at heart.

FROM DR. M'EWEN'S LETTER.

FROM DR. M'EWEN'S LETTER.
 "The breakdown of the Democratic party should be cause ef exhultation to no citizen. Since we must be gov erned by a party, patriotism dictates the wish that all parties when entrust- ed with authority might have the sense and courage to submit their proposals to the test of experience. Our history hasn't parallel for the stupidity and cowardice of the Cleveland administra- tion and the Democratic Congress. They have failed to keep the promises on which they were elected, and have disappointed the expectations of every body except the prophets who held that all the Democratic party needed to ruin it was victory"
 The letter continues and charges Cleveland with being recreant to tariff reform, (which at first astonished, then enraged, and finally disgusted and alienated from the support of his administration about all the earnest ness and unsefshness that his party held. His aSandondment of the Demo- cratic pledge to give silver an adequate place in the currency was less culpable, for it was known that his leanings were all toward the single standard. But the excuse cannot be made for the Democratic congress, which has pro- posed no substitute for the Sherman act save the coinage of the seigniorage. x Yet the people supposed they

Not much fanny financial aid is looked

interested persons pointing out the
fact that the demand for coal is not
