UNDER WHICH KING. REZONIAN! (!

HILL, the very incarnation of Tam
many methods, or WHEELER, the stalking
ghost Of Reform? One is irresistably
reminded of the amusing scene in the
garden between the fat Knight Pistol
and the shifty Justice Shallow.
1t looks now as though all DISCUSSES
were to be thrown off and the struggle
between Tammany and the Mugwumps
to be fought to finish. The bargain
makers seem to have slipped up and
HILL even to have failed TO control the
machine. The Mugwumps must stand
up and be counted; process which will
bring its surprises.
How any sane man can vote for HILL
and cut GRANT is Democratic mystery.
CLEVELAND seems disinclned to mount
the tripod with Delphic utterance. For
once the oracle is silent.
CLEVELAND evidently "is not in it,"
TO use expressive slang. His day passes
quickly and it seems to be no longer of
consequence whether he speaks or is
silent.
When before in our history has a
President of the United States passed
through New York and attended a
theatrical representation without some
popular recognition Of the dignity of the
office If not of the individuality of the
man?
Yet this is what is told of the recent
Passing of CLEVELAND. We are told
that he had "a suit of new tailor-made
clothes (cut rates or English), a brand
new "fall' hat, ETC., etc,-but all to no
avail:

Drained individuals in this city who in
dulge themselves with the notion that
they are followers of KARL MARX and
adherents TO the doctrines Of the Ger

1t will not be charged against Dr.
~GARvIN that he is HENRY GEORGE
Socialist. He has "A perfect right To in
dulge whatever sociological or socio-
political vagaries a&peal TO him. He Is
honest about it. lie leaves nobody in
doubt. He wears his political creed
upon,his sleeve. and is ever ready To ex-
pound it or defend Ii.
1t is the Democratic party that sur
renders its creed. 1t takes DR.. GARvIN
as it finds him--the avowed advocate of
socialism and the single tax. II might
easily have found "A Democrat to put on
its ticket, but it deliberately chose to
indorse socialism and the single tax by
selecting their most conspicuous adyo'
cate in Rhode Island to stand for Con-
gress.
Suppose DIR. GARvIY were to be
elected 10 Congress, is 1t possible TO con-
ceive that he would not there advocate
TO the full extent of his power and op-
portunity the vague but dangerous doc
trines he SO boldly advocates az home?
1t is no excuse to plead that there is
no danger that DR.. GARvIN will be
elected. The principle remains the
same. So far as they were able to make
their acts effective the Democrats of the
Second District have put pronounced
Socialist in Congress. They have shown
the will, and to the full extent Of their
power at the polls they will perform the
deed.
Let the voters make note OF this,
and let them remember it of them in the
future when the party managers ask
for their votes with more lively expecta-
ton of profting by them than they are
indulging this fall.
