TWO BOLTS.

The political times are sadly ou, :,
joint, parties are to a degree dism.s
bered and individuals who in Years ,s'
enjoyed prominence and following a.
now compelled to go it alone. BolH,'
has been the order for some time rss s
and it appears that the end is NOT ,a' r,a
though the time limit must internos. =,
prevent many more defectione. on NJ
the bolts of the year two of the r'4 m
sig nificant occurred Yesterday. TE,'
we're not of the ordinary run, in t,,
they were reversal Of il. THE boIS
took place in New York and por,,%
vania. One was on the part Of dom,
Gratis and the other republicans. Tbe.
the difference ceasee, for both were hos
Of the rank and file from the tbrold,s
of bosses. In New York, Senator I'm
w. f. Sheehan and others, who A,s
controlled the party or dictated ite mil,
in that state, find themselves landedHs
and dry. The party has broken away.,
them and asserted itself. Ever eipcss
Chicago convention Mr.. Hill has b4s |
80 to speak, on the fence. He has mo,
tanned an attitude Of mysterious sils,,
and kept the country and his follows,
guessing what he would do regardir,
the ticket. 1t was finally given out Np
he was willing to support the nomirs,
but would not indorse the platform s,i
that the New York democracy would nj
be permitted to run counter to his wish
in the matter of resolutions. Atou
this time the voters decided that ts
would have a say in spite of Mr.. llI |
and that il their action did not suit HI,
he could go into retirement. They W.,
determined that the Chicago nomirs
should have the loyal support of Nj
York democrats, and that it should
given without being made matter
barter or trade for the benefit Of an i
man Or clique. Accordingly at the col
vention yesterday the first resolution
the platform read as follows:
1.-The democratic party of the STATE
New York in convention assembled D.
reservedly indorses the platform ador
ed by the democratic party in the
tional convention at Chicago, July II
1896, and cordially approves the 900
nations there made. 1t pledges WHn
j. Bryan and Arthur Sewall its tat
and active support, and declares ian
deliberate judgment that never na
history OF the democratic party OH
platform been written that euta
more completely the Interests b
the whole people as datingulz
from those whose legislation &
for private benefit than that given
country by the national democratic IA
vention OF 1896"
This is due notice to Mr.. Hill and N
all other New Workers that the mas4A|
of voters know their own minds and "a
tend to fall in line with the sentiment
the country and aid in securing the eleH
tion of Bryan and Sewal. 10 this doS
trine Tammany subscribee. Add 70 d
declaration the fact that fusion on
electoral ticket has been agreed UEW
between the democrats and poFl.;@
and it must be very obstinate N
who will not concede the state 70 8, I'll
and Sewall. III
The other bolt wae tha revolt Of W
Pennsylvania republicans against "b:
Quay. For years he has ruled the u
in that state with an iron hand, but.
his time has come. lie has beer tx; ;s4I
down and diecredited. The voters
become tireu Of being driven. Til M
suit cannot have any effect on nat H
politics, but it goes to show that
political upheaval in state as well 8
tional affairs the plain people are
mined to have show, that they III n
to rule in fact as well as name. f
reason the action of both the q HI
tions is Just and opportune and wis
a good effect in other sections
country. No doubt the bosses are
and they should take rest. A
