FRIDAY EVENING. DEC. %. 1889
A FEW years ago the New York re-

FEW wears sgo the New York re-
.,h,;csns were engaged in battle
iva, for their gubernatorial nomination.
Thore were two factions. The wing
favorine ex.secretary Folger succeed
al Int the nomination was procured
nv frauds and especially by false pei
so,stiops of delegates. This excited
general disgust and the nominee was
hur;sd under a majority OF l92'Ooo
votes This result brought Grover
cleveland to the surface as governor Oh
Nav York, and entailed great loss
tn his party and much evil and shame
unon the country. The democratic
national committee when it assem-
HES here on the 22d of February in order
70 fix upon the place for holding the
next convention, will be called on to deal
with a similar question. A vacancy IN
the committee occurred not long ago
by the death of Mr.. Lawrence Gardner
OF Washington. The District organize
ton have 10 right to fill the vacancy,
but can recommend person. The
national committee can fill it with any
one they please or they can leave 1t va
cant till the new committee comes TO
be organized. But the district demo-
cratic committee of Washington after
several trials of strength proceeded to
effect choice by methods 80 abomi-
nable as utterly to eclipse false persona
ton or other forms of political forgery
and fraud. Two of the committee, 1t
seems. had given proxies. These
proxies. of course, were revocable by
the principals in writing or by appear
ing in person to vote. The two princi-
pals did appear on the scene and they
attempted to vote, but their votes were
rejected by the presiding officer and the
votes of the two proxies accepted in
their stead. The audacity of such a
proceeding almost staggers belief, bul
this scene actually occurred. If tile
national committee were to sanction
such an act as this, their subsequent de-
alterations would command very little
respect. This scandal ought to be re-
buked most emphatically.
