"a NAV At LAST"

The Man at last has finally turned the
corner. IL was plain that 1.-The shameful con-
dition" into which Democratic politics in this
state had fallen must be remeded leader
had 10 be found and way out opened The
Albany conference tried 10 persuade US two
weeks ago that a deIiverer had appeared and
plans were made for opening a Jerome Rescue
League bureau at Buffalo. But il was soon evi-
dent that the league could hope TO operate only
branch delivery Office. The Jerome movement
was false alarm. The Jerome rescuers had
themselves 10 be rescued and when the hour
struck and the crisis clRmored for a hero there
he wss, Ike HOratius at the bridge, ready 10
care all and venture all IN the cause OF Demo-
cratic unity and regeneration. The Hon Tim
othy ID. Sullivan held little Albany conference
OF his own on Friday. and the standard which

Hon William T. Jerome has been transferred
10 the hands OF the Hon. William Sulzer
Mr.. Suffers qualifications as a delIVerer, purl-
Ter and unifer are so conspicuous that IL seems
almost a waste OF time 10 elaborate upon them.
Mr.. Sullivan has seen III. however, 70 call atten.
ton TO some OF the new leaders strong points
as q candidate and a statesman, and this trIb-
ute from Congressman who admits that he
has represented his constituency much better
than Daniel Webster could possibly have rep

Mr.. Clay. had those elder statesmen been able
so completely 20 cast out envy and all unchsr-
liable feeling. We are glad 20 learn that the
Hon. Timothy considers the Hon. William .the
''nnn OF the hour the man TO win, a brilliant
s'csmpaigner who talks 10 the heart OF the peo-

We are glad 10 See that sfr. Sullivan empha-

Jefferson and Lincoln rolled into one This
combination is an Indispensable one IN unto
Gate politics. The Independence League Con-
venn0n. held last week, described itself as com
posed or or as seeking 10 attract and unite the
lincoln Republicans aud the Jefersonjan Demo
