THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION.

Ex-Secretary william c. whitney
sailed yesterday on the Majestic and is
now on his way home.
OF course Mr.. Whitney's return will
give rise to many rumors. and his name
will be at once associated by the Cos
sips with the Democratic nomination
for Governor. There are many reasons
why the ex-Secretary would make an
acceptable candidate. But there is no
reason whatever to believe that he has
changed his mind as to remaining en-
tirely out of political life, for the pres
ent at least, and there are many rea-
sons why he should decline to re-enter
the field Just now. His presence and
counsel will, however, be valuable to
his party In the campaign and every
Democrat Will be pleased at his return.
The gratifying feature about the stu
alton IL. that while the Republican
Convention was a mere farce, the mem
bers of which were under orders to
indorse what their boss had already
done In their name, the Democrats go
to Saratoga uncommitted, uninstructed
and free to do whatever Is considered
best for the people and best for their
party in the nominations. The Repub-
lican delegates were Platt's chattels.
The Democratic delegates are free
agents.
The party has such excellent material
to select from that It cannot go wrong
in making its nominations, provided 1t

HORSE CARS, ALSO.
Cable Cars Not Alone Lacking in

A Few Observations on the Discom-
forts of Compulsory Victims.

While attention has been to great
extent directed to the cable railway
lines OF the city in THE Evening
Worlds" fight for better travelling ac-
commodations for the public, they are
by no means the only offenders in this
respect.
There Is not street-car line in the
city, and this includes all the cross
town lines, which does not pursue the
same system, so far as 1t is able TO
do so, of overcrowding its cars, and CIV
ing the least possible accommodation TO
the public. The putting on of extra
cars is a thing not to be thought OF 80
long as the ordinary run of traffic can
be taken care of with those operated
on the regular schedule time.
This is the case with the Second ave-
nue., Sixth avenue, Eighth avenue,
Grand street, Fourteenth street ana
Twenty-third street cross-town lines,
the Boulevard cars and the Bet line.
Every morning and evening the cars on
those lines are packed to their utmost
limit and whenever passengers who
have secured places inside the car are
to be let off, a stop Of several minutes
must be made while the front or rear
platform, whichever the case may be,
emptIes itself, and finally, when the
passenger energies from the crush ne
clothing has not been torn from his
back
People who live up along the west
side in the vicinity of Riverside Drive
have special grievance against the
Boulevard line for this reason. The
cars themselves are intentionally
small il-smelling and dirty, and when
they are damned full of people on,
hot stuffy evening, or during a rain
storm, like that of the past week, they
offer the most wretched accommoda-
lions to the traveller Imaginable.
Thousands of people are fairly com
PEELED to use these cars to reach their
homes because the elevated stations in
that portion of the city are far apart, and
80 far east that to patronize them would
necessitate long tramp. They ma 1t
much more convenient and less tedious
to take the Boulevard cars for Forty
second street-that is. those who have
occasion to travel during the middle of
the day, but when the rush hours come
It Is very problematical If those adj
vantages are secured.
Tie cars are run at such long In
tervals that 1t rarely happens that two
are in sight at the same time. and the
chance of getting a seat in one of them
at such times Is practically nil.

A REAL UNION.

The politicians are OF course opposed
TO the Committee of Seventy. They can
not attack the character of Its members
who are among the most prominent OF
our business men, and so they resort
to ridicule to bellttle their work. They
ask how many OF the Committee want
office. and they assert that at least
twenty of the Seventy will go to the
polls, provided election day Is fine and
there is no crowdng at the ballot-box.
This is all nonsense. 1t Is not likely
that any member OF the Committee Will
be named for office. and the whole sew
enty will doubtless register and vote.

Depcw Says He Is Not Seeking n
Grave for the Morton Boom.

DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew was seen
roaming around Kensco Cemetery. on
the Harlem Railroad yesterday, reading
the inscriptions on the tombstones.
The uncanny idea struck a visitor that
the wit and humorist really got his in
SEPARATIONS from graveyard epitaphs.
Another explained his presence in such
place by, saying that the Doctor was
looking for a nice, quiet spot to bury
the Morton boom in after election.
DIR. Depew laughed when these ideas
were suggested to him. He explained
that there was neither poetry nor poll
tics in his visit. The president of the
New York Central Railroad has great
faith In country graveyards as real
estate investment, since the Court Of
Appeals has declared that the city can
take possession of cemeteries within
the city limits at any time and make
streets out of them.
ID. Depew has an interest in Kensico
Cemetery, ana yesterday he was on a
tour OF inspection over the new necrop-
oils with the Board of Directors
