GAYNOR ACCEPTS.

When ambition so far cOrrodes the character
of an honest man that he will become the as
sociate In a public capacity of the agents OF
corrupt women and the political protectors OF
the vicious and criminal where will the cor
rosion stop? Who will believe that the man
who would stoOp so far from honorable tradi-
tions as To become the candidate of Murphy
on such n ticket as Murphy has just put up
would not stOOp further and become the servant
of Murphy, if, indeed. that be further degra-
datiOn? The Democratic candidate for Mayor
is already sufficiently disciplined In the ways
of the organization in which decent men must
serve with JUNCTION alongside of 'red light
agents" so that he accepts its infamies with
out a murmur. He is as duttful as Grady
when he did 1.-The dirtiest days work. of his life
without n protest. He has made rapid and
astonishing progress in Tammany's training
school. Murphy can't use him? Murphy is
using him already.
Who will have faith in him that be has
embarked on this Rake's Progress? OF what
account are his pledges and professions in his
speech of acceptance? OF what significance
is his sponsorship for his associates he who

TERRAZANO.

There is no detracton from the credit or the
fame of Hudson in the honorable remembrance
of Verrazano Instead. may consider the
erection Of a monument to NerrazanO as a
happy complement TO the celebration in honor
of Hudson. If any one fOoliShly in
clined to attempt the raising of questors OF
racial or national rivalry he would find ample
encouragement in he facts that nobody partic
ipated in the Hudson commemoration more
sympathetically than the Italians and the
French and that nobody was more ready to pay
honor TO Verrazano than the English and the
Dutch
There are some interesting resemblanccs be-
tween Hudson and VerraZano Each made
somewhat sudden and unheralded entry upon
the scene of great achievements Each made
his most important voyage under the flag of
another nation than his own. And eacL soon
after the achievement which secured his fame
