PBOOELYN AT NASHVILLE.

Tho nrjuc;pol address in response to the wei

nosition Yesterday was delivered by Mr. St
Clair NcKclway, and was somewhat Respondent
in tone though the speaker took care TO afiirln
that he was not a pcssmst. Perhaps the rather
melancholy reflection with which his address
began gave it's quality to the whole. for Mr.
McKelway first pronounced a v3edlctory In the

part Of his address exhibit a narrow and pcevish

SOME CNEIND REuARKS.

Some people are mighty hard TO please
Here, for example, is THE Courier" Of Cam
den, \. j., Directing in the severest and most
censorlous manner because a Hudson County
Freebooter and Jersey City fireman ate oys-
tiers for wager. The Courier refers to this
as "a degrading spectacle" and says that the
incident is strong prasumptve evidence that
there are a degraded lot OF men in the public
Service Of that locality meaning thereby, ap-
parently. Jersey City aud its suburbs.
What can the poor fellows do with their spare
time! They can't all afford the beefseak con-
tests in which Tammany aspirants for office
nowadays must needs try their capacity II they
would hope for further glory. And 1t is impos-
sblc for every Hudson County Freebooter to
begulle his leisure In running gambling insti
tuition Destructive criticism Is easy. but the
critics should he chary about making assaults
unless they have remedy to PROPOSE. In this

There is no doubt that. rs reported. Marshal
Banco has the greatest desire 10 end the hor-
rors Of war" His humane disposition Is ample

tina, h" should adj a desire 70 recstablIsh

1873" For that system was n fraudulent and
deceptive one. He may MOI have been rcspon-

that performance. Whether or not they will

the present Spanish Government Is probably
no more inclined 10 try any sort Of trickcry

one and may well command The sympathetic
good wishes Of friends of Cuba as well rs OF

TIE MACHINE-NOT THE PARTY.

The cry Of the Republican machine managers
and their orators is that ii would be CRIME 10
rebuke. dcmoralze and dlsntesrate the Repup-
lcan party by defeating their candidate Tor
NayOr There Is no sense or force IN the mp
peal Ii is based on the assumption that the!
are the Republican party. and therefore mas not
n trace or semblance of validity. They are well
aware that the election Of an able and honest
Republican who is pledged by his character ana
his record to manage the municipal business OF
the consolidated city exclusively for the benefit
of IFS inhabitants in strict accordance win re-
heated declarations of Republican policy. would
not discrcdit or in any way weaken the Kepup-
lIcan party They are well aware, on the con-
trarv. that 1t would nvgorate and recruit the
partv gratifying the great mass OF It's most
faithful members and recommending 1t anew
everywhere TO the confidence and support OF the
people Beyond a doubt. however it would
seriously interfere with the plans and opera
tons of the Republican machine leaders by pro-
duclng stagnaton in the bOssng industry ana
an accurate knowledge Of that fact Is precisely
what ails them now
Nobody who is not in position to be per-
sonally incommoded by the political misfortunes
of Ouigg ct al thinks that the Republican party
is wronced by Mr.. Lows candidacy or would
be hurt by his election. 1t isn't the party tha'
is complaining, but the men who make busi'
ness of using the party for their own glory and
advantage They are in the habit of talking
and acting as If they were the party, and that
IS what they are doing at the present time. vi
course the prospect Of waking up on the morn
ing of November 3 10 find their occupation more
than half gone is extremely obnoxious to them.
But it does not disturb anybody else.
