NEW YORK Politics.

one clear-eut, definite fact, one decisive and
unmistakable result stands out cold and
distinct among the eyasions, the clap-trap, the
fol-de-rol and the follies of the Syracuse con-
vention, and that is that sodden and reeking
Tammany Hall has secured control of the
Democratic party OF the Empire State body
soul and pantaloons. 1t dominated the con-
vention, carried its every point, and not only
secured its recognition as the only true and
lawful Democratic organization in this city
but took a bond OF fate, and declared itself
TO be The Democracy of New York City for
all time TO come.-New York Mail and Express.
The Democrats of the Empire State enter
upon this years campaign with a record of
two successive and crushing defeats. In 1898
and 1894 they were routed in the State and
local elections. 1t was thought that the party
would profit by these experiences, but the pro-
ceedings OF the State convention show that it
has not done SO. 1t is plain that the organiza-
ton is still controlled by the same machine
which was in q large measure responsible for
the disasters OF the last two years, and couse-
quently the old methods viii continue to pre-
Vall.-Omeha Bee.
The Republicans OF this county are united
upon the one issue in our local campaign.
They are determined upon municipal reform
and home rule in excise, matters The Tam
many tiger has not been killed; it has only
been scotched The,work of humiliation must
go on. Professions being made in Syracuse to-
day give little hope OF honest performances
The people of New York do not look 10 the
Democracy for honest government nor for re-
form in excise or other matters.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.
The Democracy is undergoing TRANSMISSION
with success. The young blood of reform is
entering the venerable veins of the ancient
and honorable body OF Jeffersonian principles
with neatnesS and disp atch The uses of adj
versity have been sweetened by the tonic in
duences of time. The party is getting together
and the JOY OF being Democrat is so great
that the Republican people rage and the other
anti Democratic heather imagine vain
thing.-Brooklyn Eagle.
Since the first week in July The Press insist
emily and repeatedly, directly and indirectly,
by formal invitation and by affectionste APP
peal, by every means which man as q combat
i've animal has employed to induce an enemy
to stand up and fight, has challenged the
issues ot this campaign. The time in which it
could answer that challenge expired yester-
day, and it has not only not answered it; it has
ded.-NeW York Press.
1t looks as If the New York Republicans were
going to be able to rely on the pulpits of that
State for enthusiastic support in the coming
campaign Warner Mlllers plank as to the
maintenance of the Sunday laws was the text
of good many sermons last Sunday and it
promises to furnish the theme of good many
more. The pulpit and the stump will come
very close to each other there between now
and Noyember.-Boston Herald.
1t is somewhat strange that the so-called in
dependent jour nails that daily orweekly wall
and lament.over what they are pleased to term
Plattism in New York never inform their read
ers that the outcome OF the pending election
must be either victory for Crokerism, which
is Tammanyism, or for Plattism, which is Re-
publjcanism.-Ch Inter Ocean.
A New York correspondent says Senator Hill
regards the coming election in New York as
the crisis in his political career. He hes GER
tainly reached the climax of peanut politics in
advocating personal liberty" and the people
OF The Empire State ought to rebuke him in
such way that he will never dare to show his
head again.-Cleyeland Leader.
The spirit Of Democrats in New York State
this year can be summed up in word-Retro-
erosion, or Reaction. Processing disappoint-
ment in the results of the changes which some
of them assisted to order, they girding
themselves to restore the old fashion of things.
