Not in the long and dreary platform
adopted by the city convention, not in the
labored eloquence Of the Hon. T. G. T.
GRAIN, will be found the real issue OK
which Tammany bases its confident expec-
tation Of electing Congressman GEORGE B,
McCLELLAN to the Office Of Mayor this fall.
The Hon. JOHN J. DELANY phrased 1t with
comprehensive oonciseness and placed the
issue squarely before the voters In these
brave words:
When cities have lost their partisan instinct
when their citizens neglect the interests Of ono
party or another. those cities become submerged
by the corruption which springs up from within
and overwhelmed with invasion from without
lust AZ Athens and Rome OF history, given over Ia
demasosues their civic spirit gone were CONG uered
by the hardy Mortimer"

IL 1t o Victory?

Wearing his blushing honors thick
upon him and adding prophecy to states
manship. the Hon. CHARLES Francis
MURPHY is oooksure that .the ticket will
be elected
II it is. it will be q glorious victory,
will it not? A victory for whom and
what? just what does this remarkable
piece of shrewdness. which 20 impresses
Mr.. MURpHY's friends, amount to?
He has confused and disturbed the
fusionists, at least temporarily. Grant
even, II you choose, that he has divided
them and lured from the fusion side
some independent Democratic votes.
What has he paid for them? He has
broken with tho Kings county Demo-
orats. shown contempt for them, played
Manhattan against Brooklyn. To win
votes from tho fusionists he has stolen
part Of tho fusion ticket. Two Of his
candidates get their chief recommends
ton to public confidence from their
services to an administration which his
platform assails. Thus the voters are
asked to give at the same time vote OF
confidence and q vote Of want Of conf
dence in that administration. On the
strength Of . portion of the good work
Of fusion, Tammany is to creep in and
undo the rest OF the good work.
1t may be subtle politics for Tammany
to try to beat fusion by becoming partly
fusionist. Tammany may show strength
by admitting It's inability to stand alone
and covering it's nakedness with some
tags Of the robe OF reform. It may make
for general Democratic unity to burn the
bridges between the Democrats Of Man.

But a good many straightforward per-
sons can't see it in that way.

Liars should have long memories.
The Ancients have Commander, not q
Colonel. Neither in 1895 nor in any
other year have they marred any occa-
sion by @over- conviviality." They are
seasoned vessels and there never was
rum enough in Barnstable to load them
beyond Plumful mark. We recall dis
tinctly that Barnstable ball. With in
excusable lack Of common foresight, no
effort had been made by the Barnstabu-
larry force to collect magazine of sup
plies. The Ancients brought only their
fatigue ration. The Company was
founded in 1888, as all the world remem-
hers gratefully. The daily fatigue ra-
ton ia obtained by dividing 1888 by 30.
Consequently, the daily fatigue ration,
is "a IS balls. or, In the Company code,
"a balls and small slug Immedi-
ately after their arrival in Barnstable, the
Anoients, who had bssn too polite to tele-
graph for a supply train, foraged the
whole county and seized several cases
Of pocket pistols. Thus, but not with
out suffering. the phalanx managed to
live until it got back to Boston.
A date IL enough to knock in tho head
tho preposterous yarn about "the re-
fusal Of tho young bellies to dance with
the visitors. In 1855 roller skates had
not been invented. No Ancient dances
on his own war footing. The Pyrrhio
dance Ia performed by the Ancients With
much spirits and on roller skates. We
are positive that In 1895 the Ancients had
not introduced the habit of being pushed
over the ballroom floor in Bath chairs.
The story IL Lie, tho work Of Barn
stable civilians or mere militiamen who
resented the Ancients' virtual monopoly
of wet goods. The lines ascribed to Mrs.
