The Stolen Convention.

The stealing of the Democratic con-
vcntion at Springfield by the Bartlett
mismanagcrs is denounced with prac-
teal unanmity by Democratic news
papers and Democrats of standing ev-
cryWhere.
1t could not be otherwise. The Of
fence is too rank to be CLOSED ove1
1t cannot be condoncd or excused. 1t
struck at the foundations of all popular
government 1t denied to hundreds of
Democratic constituencies the right of
representation. 1t violated the basic
principles of fair play. The Russian
Duma was 4 paradise of free represen-
tation and political propriety compared
to the kiley convention.
The candidates on the Bartlett ticket
who get nominations in such a way are
all in the position of receivers of stolen
goods. The sooner they follow the eX-
ample of Mr.. Thayer of Worcester ana
withdraw, the better for their political
standing. They should all withdraw
from this fraudulently procuged4tic
and then run on ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, if
they care to do so.

and orderly and proper methods OF po-
litIcal procedure. That which may have
become a comm onplace in Boston politics
was unfamiliar and abhOrrent to the aV-
erage citizen of the commonwealth when
enacted amid the greater setting OF a
state gathering. The disgust Which fol-
lows in Western Massachusetts Will not
Soor be etfaced and forgotten. The ticks
Of low cunning that aroused the intense
Indignation of the side thereby deprived
of it's rights will become void of political
gain when the case is carried to tho
grcat jury of the people.
1t will be easier now for outsiders to
understand why disagreement in Eos-
ton has reached the depths that are I'M
der exposure. and the task which con-
fronts decent Democrats in their efforts
to achieve tolerable political results in
spite of the Boston Democracy, must be
viewed with the sympathy that is begot-
ten Of fuller popular knowledge of the
forces to be dealt with. In the capture
of the Springfield convention by the
Bartlett men the tricks and bruiser meth
DDS of Boston politicians were braZenly
eXemplificd, and the men who employed
them Ion" ago lost any sense of how
utterly bad and indcfensible they are in
