HAKKIsCN IN NEW YOliK.
To our thill..; ! U-.il.-.- to the

is a stroll.;- c.iii'li'l.iti-. No matter
what (litTiTt niv of opinion with re
jjiinl to the nomination may have
existed iiiiuni;' the members of Ins
party, even republican vote in this
state will he east for the present oc
cupant of the White Holier. That
is a fact, and the sooner it isrtcoi;.
nizetl the better for the national
democracy.
J'roni this fact follow some obvi
ous deductions. In the first place
Mr. Harrison cannot be beaten by
Mr. (.'lev eland. That was demon
strated i.i !. In that year Mr.
Cleveland had the unanimous sup
port of the .New Yoik delegation in
Hie democratic nat iona I con vent ion,
and throughout the campaign all
the power and patronage of the
federal pvcrnnient were w ielded on
his behalf. This year all the re
sources; of the federal administra
tion will be employed for the repub
lican nominee; and, what is far
more significant, the delegates from
New York will present to the con
vention the name of Mr. Hill, and if
Mr. Cleveland's candidacy is forced
upon democratic voters, it will be
aeainstthe solemn protest of his
party in this stale. No man of com
mon sense will say that under such
circumstances Mr. Cleveland is
likely to run better in New York in
tVi'J than he ran in ls.
Mr. Cleveland himself does not
believe that he v mid beat Mr. Har
rison in this state this year.
Neither he nor the inner circle of
his adherents would wi-h to sv cure
for him ihe nomination il they
thought that his attainment of the
presidency depended upon carry
ing New York for him next Novem
ber. They are playing a much
more devious and desperate yame.
They know that Mr. Harrison and
the republican party are committed
against free silver, and their pur
pose is to make the democratic
national platform equally linn
ground against the free coinage of
the white metal, thus forcing the
silver men to put up a candidate of
their own, who, tin y assume, will
be successful in must of the so
called silver states. Could this
scheme be carried out, Mr. Cleve
land iniyht lose New York, and still
neither of the ntv.it parties inilit
command a m;i jori i- ol the presi
dential electors, so 'hat the choice
of president would pass to the
house of representatives, in which
he democrats have a very larye
majority. We suppose that there
never was a more unscrupulous,
cold blooded calculation than this
which we have outlined, for it ex
poses a e-reat political party to the
imminent risk of shipwreck for the
bare chance of furthering the sel
fish intet""sts of an unimportant in.
dividual. The people of the I'nited
States will never deliberately throw
the choice of a president into the
house of representatives.
It follows that neither in the open
Held, nor indirectly by trick and de
vice, can r. Cleveland beat Mr.
Harrison. With whose name, then,
can the democracy hope to conjure
that of Henjamin Harrison in the
decisive Ktnpire state? The events
of isss Htipply the answer to tl at
'Picstion. In that year, although
the republican caddidatc for presi
dency beat Mr. Cleveland, the repub
lican candidate, for uovernor was
defeated by Governor Hill, and by a
larger majority. At that time the
opposition to (iovei nor Hill within
the ranks of the democratic party
was really stronger and more dan
gerous than it is now, for the coun
ty democracy, controlled by jiien
. avowedly or secretly his enemies,
was still a powerful organisation,
and had an inspector in every elec
tion district in the city of New York
The county democracy is now prac
tically defunct; and, compared ith
it, the special orpini.atioii evoked
at Syracuse has not voting sub
stance enough to frighten babies or
ld women. No one alive to the re
sults of the consolidation of the
lemocratic vote in New York cit
loubts that Ciovernor Hill would
this year can the state by a much
larger ma jority than he carried it in
1SS.. 1 f this were not evident, no in
telligent democrat would w ish (iov
einor Hill nominated, and we be
lieve he would not wish it himself.
Therein he dillers from Mr. Cleve
land, whose sole hope of becoming;
.president a second time is built up.
n a plot to wreck the democratic
party in the silver states, and thus
sidetrack the election into the house
f representatives.

Ai now comes the report that
drover Cleveland has promised the
southern brigadiers that if they
will elect him president of these
1'nited States once more he will re
turn to them the rebel tlae s that the
boys in blue took away from them
during the civil war, no matter
what liie north said or done. This
alone should be enough to defeat
him, ami every old soldier should
make it his duty to work from now

TliKKK is no mistaking the sig
nificance of the money plank in the
republican platform. It says what
it means anil means what it says in
the declaration that the "rcpub.
lie. in party demands the use of
both yold and silver as standard
money, with such restrictions and
under . such provisions, to be deter
mined by legislation, as will secure
the maintenance of the parity of
Ihe two metals, so that the pur
chasing and debt-pa; inyf power of
thi' dollar, whether of silver, yold
or paper, shall be at all tunes
eipial." The republican party
favors the circulation of the
largest quantity ol " yold and silver
that can be kept at par, but not the
coinage of a single dollar under
conditions that will make it worth
less than lut) cents.
WAS 1 r A FAIR TRIAL?
After Mr. Cleveland's defeat four
years ;iio the democratic New York
World claimed that it was not a fair
trial, and that the democracy should
not be judged by Mr. Cleveland's
administration. "It was not a fair
dial," said the World, "because the
democratic party neithercontrolled
nor lay claim to having controlled
the administration of drover Cleve
land." It then proceeded to show
wherein Mr. Cleveland ignored his
parly in the selection of his cabinet,
n his official appointments, in his
doinjj "the rieht thiny at the wroni;
time," by writing a free trade nies
saye just before a national election,
and in many other administrative
acts which were not democratic. In
'losing that remarkable editorial
the World said: "If it had know all
this before election day of 1-S, then
( irover Cleveland would not have
been elected president, and the de
mocracy of the I'nited Slates can
not be held responsible for what he
has done and left undone in an of
fice thus gained and thus adminis
tered. It was not, therefore, a fair
trial." This editorial appeared i
the New York World Jan. 2, 1S8.
All democrats who agree with
Tammany and the New York World,
which is against Tammany, will
have the satisfaction of knowing
that Mr. Cleveland has a fair trial in
November. He can not be elected
under false pretenses. They know
his election means just what the
platform says a tariff for revenue
only.
A belongs to these who
know best how to use it, how to
bring out all its resources, how to
make it search its coders round for
the pithy or canorous phrase that
suits the need, and they who can
do this have been always in a piti
ful minority. Let us be thankful
that we too have a right to it, and
have proved our right, but let us
set up no claim to vulgarize it. The
Knglish of Abraham Lincoln was
so good not because he learned it
in Illinois, but because he learned
it of Shakespeare and Milton and
the bible. And how perfect it was
in its homely dignity, its quiet
strength, the unerring aim with
which it struck once nor needed to
strike more! The language is alive
here, and will grow. Let us do all
we can with it but debase it. dood
taste is one of the most powerful
factors of civilization. As a people
we have a larger share of it than I,
at least, have lound elsewhere, but
as a nation we seem to lack it alto
geiner. nur coinage is ruder than
that of any country of equal preteu
tions, our paper money is filthily
infectious, and the engraving on it,
mechanically perfect as it is, makes
of every bank-note a missionary of
barbarism.-From "Marlowe," by
