THAT THE unanimously nominated
democratic ticket in New York will not
receive much support from the so-called
democratic national administration is
plain to be seen even by the least OBJ
servant. The President, when asked
about it yesterday, replied that he twas
not much in touch with the political
situation in New York )" the Secretary
OF the Navy expressed himself as hav-
ing ':no particular reasons for feeling
dissatisfied with the nomination OF SEN
ator Hill :" the Secretary of State had
"no views to express on the nomina-
tion," and all that the Secretary of War
would say in respect OF it, was that II
am for the nominee" The democrats
of New York should show the country
what they think of such back -stabbers
by giving their State ticket q rousing
majority.

My room is not so tidy as it may have seemed

A NEW party has been started in
Pennsylvania, the chief principle OF
whose declaration is the reduction of
official salaries. For the general welfare
it is hoped the new party may in
crease and multiply, grow and prosper.
Were the principle referred to in effec
tive operation, most of the people of
the country, of both sexes, would not,
as they are, be mad for Office,
from President down to chore-
women in the departments, and
the others dissatisfied because their
labor in private employment is not as
remunerative. The pay for government
work is excessive, and, as a general
rule, is more than double what those
who do it could get for any other sort.

THE Philadelphia Record in speaking
of the recent order of the Postofice De-
partment, changing to Surrender" the
name of Appomatto1 G. H., terms it an
ssinexcusable blunder." A blunder in
high office, as in war, is a crime, and
should be punished by immediate de-
posal, not only as an example to others,
but lest the offender commit another
one, even more injurious. In the par
ticular case referred to there was neither
rhyme nor reason in it, but it evinced
utter lack of delicacy and good taste,
and of regard for the natural feelings OF
others, and was a gratuitous and gross
insult to the very people upon whom
the administration has to rely for its
chief support. The name should be re-
stored at once, and the man who order
ed the change be removed instanter.

THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 27, 1894

THE democratic convention OF New
York, in nominating Senator Hill for
Governor, did the only thing by which
it is possible to keep New York within
the democratic lines at the coming
election. With any other candidate
defeat stared the democrats of the En-
nire State in the face. With Senator
Hill they have a good chance ofsuccess.
The nomination was as surprising to
him as to every body else, and its &C
ceptance involves great personal sacrl-
fee; but now, as ever, Senator Hill is "a
democrat" Unlike the President, who
also opposed the new tariff bill, Senator
Hill was bold enough to use all the
power at his commend to defeat it, but,
when it was passed, he bowed to the
will of the majority of his party, said it
was a party measure, and avowed bis
intention of supporting it and of advis-
ing all other democrats to do likewise
That he may be elected is the sincere
hope o fall good and true democrats, not
only in his own State, but throughout
the length and breadth of the land.
