The Tammanv Ticket.

They play all sorts of politics in New
York city. but principally smart politics
The latest disclosure in that line Is what
may be termed in the lingo of the street, a
dandy. Tammany. hard pressed and I'M
able to conceal it's true condition, draws
upon the opposition for two of its candi-
dates and asks for votes on the strength
of those nominations. Its candidate for
mayor is respectable gentleman, but 50
completely in Tammany's power that good
government in his name could not be guar
anteed. 1t was considered necessary, there
fore. to complete the ticket with two men
of anti-Tammany records, and Messrs
Grout and Fornes were selected. They Were
willing to play the game. and there is such
a situation presented not even New York
city has ever before witnessed.
This trick. we may all be sure, was not of
Leader Murphy's devisement. He is smart
in his way but not that smart Mr.. Hill
is accredited with the suggestion, and Mr.
German has been named in the newspapers
as an adviser of Tammany But the trick.
and not its author, is under the limelight
What will the fusionists do about it? What
they ought to do is plain enough. They
ought to remove the names of Grout and
Fornes from their ticket if it should be
without such men would be better in the
end for character and good government
than victory with them. Reform cannot be
sustained or advanced with the aid of in
struments so completely diScredted.
Mr. CIRCUITS frame of mind is curiosity.
He lends his name to Tammany, and then
refuses to surrender the nomination pre-
viously given him by Tammany's enemies
upon the clear condition that he would ex-
ert himself in the campaign against Tam
many He says ''he owes it his good
name not 10 permit himself to be de-
stroyed. Why, the man writes from

Know it. We shall see the dodo again, in

Circuit has just done rehabilitated in the
estimation of men of square dealing. He is
done for. no matter what the result at the
polls next month may be. He will survive
only as warning of how obfuscated an
able man may sometimes become when
threading the mazes of politics and touched
on the side of his vanity.
