Something Il won't DO.

In advance Of the election Of the delegates,

which New York State is politically divided,
Il cannot be stated with any certainty what
the Democratic Convention will do, but we
believe it Is a safe wage that there are
some things which It won't do, for instance
I. Arraign for perfldy, treason, or dis
honor either of the Democratic Senators
from New York;
II. Pronounce in favor Of a free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver:
III. Justify, condone, or applaud the in
famous and populist income tax; :
w. Refrain from stiRmatizing and OPP
posing A. p. A" prejudices or purposes.
v. Accept the wILsoN-GoRMAN Tariff bill
~ a definite, honorable, or faithful fulfil
ment Of the explicit pledges contained in
che platform of the Democratic National
Convention;
VI. E~xtenuate, or acknowledge as Demo-
cratic, patriotic, or American, the course Of
che national Administration in Hawaii or
Samoa;
VII. Omit to praise the Democratic ma
jority in Congress for sweeping away the
last vestiges Of unconstitutional Force leg
~islation in support Of negro domination or
VIII. Ignore the obligations of the De-
mocrscy to furnish good government in the
State, or the cities and counties composing
IL, sedulously preserving all reserved pri-
vate rights and liberties and frugally dis
pensing the public revenues derived from
constitutional taxation.
Whatever else may happen, this much can
certainly be relied on.
