ENTIRELY INPUDENT.

Mr.. Qulgg says that "Afr. WORTH as a traitor
"trylng TO stab his party In the back. IA en-
"trely impotent" SO entirely !mpotcnt. he
might have added, that Mr.. Quigg having sat
I'D half the night In conference with Mr.. Plat,
came out yesterday with an interview In The
Brooklyn Eagle" replying to Mr.. Worth TO the
extent Of A column and throe-quarcrs Mr..
Quigg's estimate OF what the situation requires
in n case OF entire impotence explains why he
has been talking day and night for the last six
weeks at the rate Of abou, three hundred words
a minute He has been afraid that his adverse
rles who are not entirely !mpotcnt would feel
sighted.
Among the statements In Mr.. Qn'gg's Inter
view. all of which are made with his habinal
caution and reserve. we find this: "'rhe lsepub-
'lcan who opposes Tracy Is obliged to confess
ito some personal motive OF ambition or spite.
"and with that confession his influence 10 affect,
tine result vanishes at once" This Is because
General Tracy Is "a man Of the highest reputa-
"tlon Republican Of the days Of Fremont and
Lincoln. n gallant soldier. an eminent lawyer,
"a trained statesman" who "n personal char
''acter in experience and ability Is far above
ANY OF his rivals IN this race" Now IL may be
worth while to say for the benefit OF some care
less observers Of current politics that n great
many Republicans who are opposed to General
Tracy have been almost as fond Of him as Mr..
Qugg il for more years than Mr.. Qulgg has
been in existence. They opposed TO him in
this campaign because they realize that there
is not the reniotest possibility Of his election.
and that q vote for him on November will be
a vote to restore Tammany Hall 10 unrestricted
power in New-York for four years TO come
They understand that after such a calamity
Mr. Qugg would still he reasonably sure Of
bread and butter and happy home.' but they
do not agree with bin that his own cheerful
anticipatiOns are n sufficient warrant for in
staling Crokerism the consolidated city.
Such Republicans are not loss likely to cx-
press their opinions ut the polls in the form Of
votes against General Tracy by the reflection
that Mr.. Quigg's fervent eulogy Of his present
candidate was all ready to be applied with some
slight variations, 10 any one OF several candi-
dates whom Mr.. Quigg has had up his sleeve nj
various times during the last three months. in

A recent exhibition on the seriO-c0mlc order
was given I'm the courtroom Of Justice or the
Peace William Levy in Paterson. ledge Levy
dispenses law and justice in connection with a
thriving old clothes business. The other Gay
one Simon Raft asked and received permission
TO leave parcel in the Levy establishment. ana
then Raft. with malice aforethought, proceeded
To the store Of Levy's chief rival In business ana
made divers purchases Returning for his
bundle Raff was met with the information that
il would cost him 10 cents TO release 1t. Ran
paid and then unburdcned his mind on the sub
jcct of Levy's character. etc The Court could
have sent Raft to Jail for contempt but MS an
example to others he hailed the offender before
the regular police magistrate. This magistrate
violated all professional etiquette by releasing
the defendant and putting Levy under arrest.
Naturally enough. Levy. J. T.. Is aggrieved.
and all the more so because the newspapers pub
lishcd stories rejecting on him. He has. how
ever. taken the trouble 10 explain the anmus
