Such mon as Charles O'Conor, Horatio Seymour ond Lucius Boblnson oromon of tho party who killed the canal ring, the Tweed ring and other scheming aud swindling corporations.

It is Lucius Robinson who has reduced expenses. It used to cost $10,000,000 to run the State. Governor Robinson tuub it now on less than $8,000,000. Lucius Robinson Is to day the standard bearer of Democracy In tho Stato ond it is our duty to uphold him in the struggle). MB.

ANDREW MCLEAN waa introduced. Ha said that it was worthy of attention that during the presont canvass no attack had been mado by Republicans or any ono else on tho Democratic administration. It is conceded on all Hands that the present administration has beon characterized by honor ond honesty, Tho Democratic party has relieved this State of a vast burden, and the only objoctlon seriously urged now to the ro eloction of Robinson is that it will Involve Democratio success In the Presidential contest. In this canvass labor is profoundly interested. The Democratio party is tho party of the working man.

Republicans have reproaohod it for this. If you elect Cornell would you bo benefitting the labor and commerce of tho State 7 You would tfot. You ore asked by the Conkling wing of the Repibllcan party to 6ct your teal of condemnation on that party which declares that every man shall count for one, and no more, whether he be a workingmau or the owner of ft railroad. Mr. McLean thon spoke of monopolists, of Vondorbilt, who, though owning eighty millions of dollars, never pays a coat of personal tax.

Tho Democratio party, if in powor, will see that Buch state of things would not long exist Capital has been favored ond labor oppressed, but tho Democratic party declare that this ehall cease. Nothing need bo said of John Kelly ho ba3 declared himself to be for A. B. C. Cornell.

Lucius RoblnBon has boon called a "bolter." So ha was he bolted for freedom as against slavery, and every work ingman who respects himself ought to favor him for that reason. Mr. S. Freeman was tho next speaker. He waa glad of Judge JoturDlkoman, which wero passed by a rising vote.

The Secretary said that he was appointed special committee on the organization of Hopkins and Thore was a laugh, and a cry of Cornell and Hos klna I He don't know tho names for Governor and Lieutonant Governor 1" The Secretary continued, and said that ho called a mooting for the purpose of raising funds, aud only five or six met. Delaucy F. Mundy, colored, asked to havo his name removed from the roll. He had removed from tho ward, and did not want hla name voted on at tho primaries by some one else. Twelfch Ward Republicans.

A special meeting of the Twelfth Ward Republican Association was hold hut evening at Tempor anco Hall, in Hamilton avenue, near Hiokg street, Robert J. Johnston, Chairman and Wm. Porter, Seoretary. The only, business transacted of any Importance was the presentation of the following names for membership W.

At the close of the moating of tho association, a Cornell ond Hoskins Campaign club was organized with the following officers Lewis H. Weaver, Presidont; Al bort Dougherty, First Vice President John Beatty, Second Vice President! John P.

Riley, Secretary; George H. Stanley, Corresponding Secretary, and Morris H. Smith, Treasurer. The proceedings of the seoond meeting were Interrupted for a few mlnuteB by a loud uproar in the back of the hall, caused by the indignation of a party, who had been a candidate for membership, but who had not proved satisfactory to the Investigating Committee, on account of his alleged Democratio tendencies. He denounced "Jimmlo" Johnston, as the cause of keeping his name off the roll, and shook his fiat threateningly in Jimmio's face.

The trouble was quieted Just as a general row seemed Imminent. Eighiocntu Ward Repabllcausu A meeting of the Eighteenth Ward Republican Association, held last night at the headquarters, on Broadway, near Jofforson street, developed little olse than strictly routine matter. The chair was occupied by Mr. F. F.

The Committee on Appointmont of Canvassors and Poll Clerks reported nameB for three of the six districts in the ward. Four members of the Executive CommiUee having roBlgned, tho vacancies thus occasioned wero filled, af tor something of a dlBcusBlon a3 to the proper course to pursuo in the premises.

Duriug tho past flvo months copies of Scriptures wero distributed by solo and gift, through the agcnclcj of the and to nominate him and to elect him afterward. With Tammany's help it is morally certain he could not have done this with its opposition, he has secured already two points out of three. It is well known that Robinson was not a candidate for re election. Nothing was better known to tho friends of the Governor in Albany last Winter. Wo will assume that Tilden desired Robinson's candidacy, and not because of any particular friendship he has for him, but bocause he knew ho was a strong man with the people.

Mr. Robinson is a very stubborn man. There was but ono way to shako his resolution. It must be done, if at all, by indirect assault; or, rather, by pitting his stubbornness against his stubbornness. In this emergency Tilden looked to his friend Kelly who had never failed him.

We should not bo surprised to find, in the New York Star, a few months from this time, the publication of notes like the following My Dear Kell? IS. will declino absolutely. Ho must bo told that ho cannot got tho nomination, and that Tammany will defeat him at the polls if he does. I know tho man this will work. Thoro Is no tlmo to bo lost.

I know tho difficulties, but I know you can overcomo them. Polton will be at your house at twelva to night, See that tho ooast is clear. Ho is In possession of my views. Thine only, 8. J.

T. If this was the plan, it worked like a charm. Robinson was anxious to retiro. He was not willing tc be driven out by Kelly and Tammany Hall. Ho allowed his name to be used.

In order to insure his nomination, a declaration from Tammany, to the effect that "under no circumstances would it support him," was essential, and Tammany so declared under Tilden's advice, of course. But Tilden did not want Robinson nominated merely he wants him elected, and in order to insure this it was necessary that the most objectionable Republican possible should be nominated in tho most objectionable way against him. Did Tilden time Tammany's "declaration" to this end? Can tho Star produce auything re Bombling what follows My Deab Kelly Tammany's delay in taking more decided groundB against Robinson Is hurtful, and may spoil all. Am Biiro tho machino can nominate Cornell and will do so, if his opponents are silenced by the assurance that Tammany will robol, and tho Reps can win this year "any way," Cornell's nomination depends upon your immediate action. Can tho Executive Committee be got togothor at onco Nomination of Cornell insures Robinson's buccoss, Bnd completos my programme for the year.

Tammany shall have all tho credit it deserves in duo tinio. Ever gratefully, S. J. T. p.

s. Weed and Polton are at your service for any work at which they can bo usof ul. Or, is there anything liko the following in tho Tammany archives: Deab John Everything works aplondldly. Keop it up, and our opponents will rely on your efforts for success. Tammany has covered itself with glory so far.

Through its offorts we have nominated Cornell, and wo made anything else but Robinson's nomination an impossibility. If wo can get tho onomy to roly on Tammany's efforts, Robinson's election is assured boyond poradventure. Try to make the "bolt" appear to be as wide as possible. As I may not bo ablo to write with socurlty again until after tho campaign closes, pardon mo for giving at some length a few suggestions, leaving it to your own hotter judgment to put thorn to application 1. Make it appear that tho "split" is not confined to Now York.

Tho old Canal people can bo rolled on to get up Kelly Clubs in Albany, Syraouse, Rochester and elsewhere. You are assured of Boldon's cooperation. The Lords cannot bo counted on for help. They have lost thoir money as won as thoir reputation. In a quiet way they will do what they can.

Wlllard Johnson requireB no looking after he is doing groat service by abusing Robinson wherever he goes. 2. Cannot a "Kelly State Committee" bo formed? If mado up mainly of the old Canal contractors and their lawyers and former agonts In tho Legislature, it would help. Jenney, of Syracuse, defonded Dennison, Bolden Co. W.

W. Wright, ia well known as of the old sot. He was formerly a Canal Commissioner ex Canal Appraiser Green, and A. S. Pago, of Oswego, formerly Chairman of the Assembly Commlttco in the worst days, are names which occur to me.

Soulo, formerly Canal Commissioner, could have boon relied on to get up Kelly Clubs, but they have put him on tho Re element of modern journalism but when criticism degenerates into vituperation ana it is seldom rebuked as it deserves to be. When the personal affairs of public or private citizens are forced upon pubho attention, through the courts or otherwise, it is be lieved to be the ncht of the newspapers, ir not their duty, to procure and publish all the available information that may interest tneir readers. It is true that the press is prone to regard the matter of right in preference to the matter of duty, but in this respect aiso we chnw some imDrovement. It is when the pri vate affairs of any people are dragged into newspaper notice without justifiable cause, that personal journalism becomes a public nuisance. In England personal journalism has been Alnino oronnd of late years, and it has no more industrious or objectionable exponent than Henry Labouchere, the editor oi I rum, the columns of which journal are largely devoted to personalities.

Under the pseudonym of Truth the editor serves up continual messes of tattle and scandal, whioh only serve to prove how easily the power of the press may be prostituted to unworthy ends. He has thus become involved in a number of libel suits but the law has as yet been unable to control his inclination to soandalize the community, and Mr. Edward Lawson, who had been vilified, together with his relatives, resolved to see what virtue might be found in his fist and a cane. It is difficult to judge from the conflicting accounts which party had the better of the encounter on King William street. Each claims the advantage, and one of the statements must be shamefully untrue; but the probability is that little damage was done, except to the dignity of the combatants.

When toadyism in one journal is assailed by vulgarity in another, decency cannot be expected to sympathize with either side; but even fists and canes become respectable when they are employed in the suppression of the Labouchere style of personal journalisma style which should gain nothing in popular appreciation from tho fact that tho editor signs his name to his abusive articles, or announces himself as personally responsible for them. The statement is made upon good authority, that Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer will run for the State Senate upon the Tammany Hall ticket in the large German district of that oity. Apropos of this report, a good story is related Frank Swift, of Brooklyn fame, and whose claim of $40,000 against the State was audited last Winter, and vetoed by the Governor subsequently, was in the company of Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer. a few davs ago, and listened closely to the gentleman's eloquent recital of the grievances of John Kelly, Tammany Hall and himself against Governor Kobinson. Never a word said Frank until the Gov ernor had finished, but then drawing a nll oatfe ha ond "Well.

l'VS COt a grievance against Governor Robinson, too. It's forty thousand dollars' worth. But Governor Robinson nor no other man can drive "me out of my party, not for eighty thou "sand dollars' worth of grievances. If the old fellow is elected, as I am sure he will be, "I've got to wait three years for my money, "but I'm for the regular ticket." The polished Lieutonant Governor, who thought at the beginning of Frank's speech that he had a convert, was so disappointed at its conclusion that ho left the party. The only objection to the well defined plan of Commissioner Stranahan, as explained to the Supervisors yesterday, for the extonsion of the Concourse to the western end of Coney Island, is that it involves an expenditure by the countv at larcre which tne property oirectiy benefited should make.

It is undoubtedly true that the new avenue would add very much to the public pleasure, but it is not less true that the money made will go into the pockets of the Conev Island hotel men. It is to be borne in mind that in this matter the great majority of the hotel men are as much interested as tho public in getting the road opened. This nrolect means trade for them. Until it is effected thoy cannot participate largely in the prosperity of the Island. The publio do their share when they afford them the oppor tunity to benefit themselves.

The Democrats of the interior of the Stata have discovered that there is nothing new in this political campaign. The Kelly clubs that the Tammany organs, including the New York Tribune, have been so enthusiastically report ing as being organized in all parts of the State, are, after all, old and well known enemies. Heretofore they havo been called Independent Democratio clubs, and the members of them have simply banded together for the purpose of selling out on election day, if anybody would buy them. Now they are known as Kelly clubs, and are organized for the same purpose. It is true that there are a few men earnest in their opposition, but the proportion is as one to one hundred.

Yesterday was a great day for the Field family. They unvailed their monument in Rockland County to tho memory of Major Andre, the distinguished patriot who made the compact with the estimable Benedict Arnold for the suppression of the traitor George Washington. We are sure that few Americans will decline to share tho antipathy of the beneficent Field family to the "crafty old "person," familiarly known as Uncle Sammy, when they learn that upon being solicited by the noble Cyrus to join in this project, he sneeringly observed, that if the noble facul ty of memory served him right, Andre's was the worst case in our history of "futile dalliance We can see no reason why Mr. Hayes and the members of his Cabinet should refrain from taking part in the campaign in this State, Although the grudge they bear Senator Conk ling, and the poor opinion they entertain of Mr. Cornell, may probably prevent them from aiding either o'f those gentlemen, they might advocate with much enthusiasm the claims of John Kelly.

Commissioner French, one of the Republican members of the New York Police Board, has positively stated that he will consent to the appointment of none but Tammany men as the remaining inspectors of election. It is a hard and wearisome task that John Kelly has set for his Republican allies. The alliance of Conkling and Kelly should inspire Senator Blaine to make his calling and election sure. Why should ho not enter into partnership with a select assortment of Confederate Brigadiers, to defeat the National Democratio nominee, and eeoure the spoils of 1860 James W. Stevens, ex Mayor of Rome and a most popular young man in Oneida County, is the Democratic nominee for the Senate, in the Twenty second District.

George B. Anderson is the Republican candidate, a man little known to the State, and, it is said, not widely known in his own county. There was only one difficult point to arrange in the formation of the Cornell and Kelly partnership, and. that was the division of tho expected profits. The many Republicans who are unwilling to swallow the Saratoga ticket whole, can have it on the half shell, as served, up by George William Curtis." The editor of the average Conkling organ crooks his elbow every day, and swears that he will never desert John Kelly.

CBOW AND BtZZABD. John Kelly says Shall I eat orow I stamp my foot, and answer no Aa long as both my jawa are free, Tho buziard is the bird for me. The buzsard bird ftffeeta the sky, 'While olooe to earth the crow must fly The crow is often thin and spare, yho, buzzard bird has dehor faro.

Ratifying the State Nominations in the Twenty first and Tenth Wards. Large Gatherings of the Masses and Eloquent Speeches by Local Orators. Last evening the Democrats of the Twenty first Ward opened the campaign In old timo Btyle.

Tho large substantial wigwam on Nostrand, near DeKalb avenue, was ablaze with light as early as seven o'clock, end tha crowd commenced to gather In front of tho transparancy bearing tho names of tho candidates put In nomination at Syracuse. At short intervals patriotic and popular airs were ployed by a fine band, scores of rockets were sent skyward, and a levy had apparently beon made on all the grocers In tho ward for contributions of flour barrels to food tho bonfires that blazed around the wigwam. Inside the building there was profuse and tasteful display of bunting In tho shape of national flags Artistically draped around tha walls, and red white ond blue streamers that fell in graceful festoons from tho roof. As many as one thousand men found fllthor sitting or standing room inside tho wigwam, andfully that number was congregated around tho outside of the building and listened at tho open windows to the speeches delivered from tho platform. It was after eight o'clock before the meeting was called to order by Mr.

Robort Sullivan. Tho building was then filled to its utmost capacity, and seated on the platform were Hon. Charles L. Lyon, Alderman Thomas J. Konna, Colonol E.

B. Lansing, Stawart Rosa, Supervisor Anderson, ox Alderman Brown, John Gilbert son, Robert Sullivan, Honry Knobot, William Fanning, John Connors, Michael McLonghlln, William Copley, William Hlggins, William S. Soaring, A. II. Slmis, and many others.

Mr. Sullivan after calling the meoting to order, moyod that Mr. Benjamin Wood bo appointed permanent Chairman, and the motion was carried. Vice Presidents and Secretaries wero afterward appointed, and then Mr. J.

Stewart Ross was called upon to read a series of resolutions, indorsing the Stato tloket put in nomination at Syracuse. The name of Govornor Robinson was received with loud and continued applause, as was also tho declaration, We denounce John Kelly as a traitor to tho party that gavo him tho wealth and position which ho now holds." The resolutions wero unanimously adopted. SPEECH BY ALDEBMAN KENNA. Tho first spcakor Introduced was Alderman Thomas J. Kenna.

He was reoolved with cheers and loud and continued when eileuco was restored ho spoke as follows Fellow Citizens op thh Twenty fiust Waed It affords me great pleasure to be accorded tho honor of Joining my voice with youra to night ln'ratlfylng tho nominations of tho Democracy of tho Empire State. ThlB orowded meeting is proof that not only the Democratic voters, but also the honestly Independent voters of the Twonty flret Ward, are fully olive to tho Importance of the approaching eloction, and will be sure to place this ward firmly on tho Bide of Lucius Robinson and good government on tho 4th of November noxt. Applause. Nightly for more than a week past earnest and intelligent audiences like this havo assembled in various wards of Brooklyn and hove enthusiastically, as you oro now doing, indorsed tho unsurpassable State tickot headed by Robinson and Potter, Applause J. The meetings that have been held throughout tho city have been largely attendod by tlioeo who do not usually confino themselves to party nominees In casting their votes, and who do not always support the Democratio party.

That class of citizens are evidently taking a warm interest in this canvass, and are certainly strong supporters of Governor Robinson. Not only Is this tho case in our city, but all through tho State like sontl raoot is expressed. Tho sixty or thousand conscientiously independent voters lu this State are almost a unit for our Democratic Governor. Applauso. In addition to that non partlBan vote, tho votes of many thousands of consistent but self respecting Republicans will be cast for him.

Tho reasons for these lm menso accessions to tho Democratio ranks in this gubernatorial election are easily diBcornod. In the first place the people know that Lucius Robinson has never been oxceliod, and Botdom, if ever, oquallod lu sleepless vigilance, inflexible honesty and superlative BblUty by any Governor of Now York from the Colonial period to the present time. Applause. They know that tha Stato taxes have been reduced from nearly sixteen millions in 1874, to much less than eight millions In 1879 that noarly throo millions por year ore saved for them in the management of tho canals; that three quarters of a million 1b saved yearly In tho management of State prisons; that tho Stato dobt has bean reduced from fifty one millions to eight millions, and that ono and one half millions havo been rescued from the reckless extravagance of Republican legislatures by Goverornor Robinson's vetoes. Applause.

Noxt tha manner of makiug tho Domooratlo nomination proBonta a strong argument to the manly indepondoncs of all classes of patrlotio citizens. That nomination of tho illustrious old Governor was tho unshackled aud fearless expression of convention of representative Democrats, who, holding honor ond tho good of the State abovo mero party expediency, could not bo cajolod into a baeo abandonment of a practical reformer, ond would not bo bullied into a degrading submission to the arrogant local leader of faction, who insultingly announced his Intention of ruling the convention or ruining tho party. Loud applause. He miserably failed In the former and will inevitably moot tho public degradation and political death be so richly morits In attempting tho latter. A' voice, "and so he ought." Mr.

Kelly's position bofora tho convention reminds mo of the story that is told of the testy churoh deacon who having quarreled with the pastor and nearly all tho mumDers oi nis cuuron Dcoause no couian have bis own way in everything, went to mooting shortly after and said, "Brethren, It's a shame that our quarrels Bhould bring scandal on tho churoh, I have Bought earnestly for guidance in the matter and have come to tho oonoluslon that you must give in for I will not." Cheers, laughter and applauso. That church got along finely without tho lmpudont deacon, and I am certain that the New York Demooraoy will be Btrong er, moro harmonious and successful without the quarrelsome and dictatorial Tammany chieftain. Applause. Luolus BoblnBon's splendid and conspicuously honest record as Governor of this State, compared with the freedom and manliness exhibited by tho Syraouse Convention in making the nomination, mate him the favorite candidate of tha largo army of voters, who, untrammelod by party ties, seek only to place tho best men In nubile office, Annisuse. 1 The evidence to prove that on olllaneo has been mado between John Kelly and the Republican politicians, is given on tho one side in the dastardly attempt of the Republican Police Commissioners In Now York to prevent the appointment of election officials, and so, having no legal election thero, to disfranchise tho two hundred thousand citizens of our sister city.

Applause. On the other side is the evidence offered by John Kelly himself in his public avowal which I heard him mako at the Vandorbilt House, In Syracuse, that ho was not hoping to be elected Governor, but that ho was running only to defeat Luciu3 Robinson. Applause. Now, overy man of ordinary common Bense knows that running to defeat Robinson means running to elect Cornoll. Applause.

That Is exactly what it docs mean, to elect Cornell and to put again in power In this State the party who through their devilish machinery have doprlved thousands of naturalized citizens of their votes. Shame upon the man who, having only a personal grlovanoo to redress, attempts to rovongo himself at the expense of those who honored him, at tho expense of the whole people of the State and at tho oxpense of olevating into public power tho men who havo been tho life long enemies of tho party that enriched him and of tho raco from whence he sprung, Loud and continuous applauso. ADDRESS BY COLONEL E. B. LANSING.

On being introduced Colonel Lansing was recolved with loud and continuous applause. After speaking at Borne length on national topics, Colonel LanBlng Bald "I now proposed to show you whot a Democratic Congress has done for our country, and for the figures I shall present for your consideration I am ludebted to no less a man than tho Vice President of tho United States. The Vice President of the United States, I say, for ho was elected to that high office by a majority of 300,090 on the popular vote and by a majority of seven in the Electoral College. I mean tho Hon. Thomas A.

Hendricks loud applause, and In a speech delivered by him at Columbus, Ohio, a few days ago, ho mode use of the figures I now ask you to oonslder. Tho panic 'of 1873 resulted in the peoplo losing faith in tho Republican party, and they resolved to take matters In their own hands and have a change, so in 1874 a Democratio House of Representatives was elected, and then It was that the policy of retrenchment and reform was Inaugurated oil over tho land. Applause; As compared with '73 there was a reduotlon of $200,000, 000 in our purchases abroad in '78 and thon industry revived ell over tho loud and along with It our export trade, and wo find that in '78 our exports amounted to more than they did in '73, applause aud In that year our exports exceeded our Imports by $257, 798,963. It Is Btronge faot that in '73, one year before tho eloction of a Democratio House of Representatives, our purchases exceedod our sales abroad by $119,650, 288, and that after three years of Bemooratlc control those figures were reversed and our exports exceedod our Imports by $257,709,964. Applause.

Tho balance agalnBt us in '73 marks the Increase, and the figures of '78 the reduotlon. So muoh for the beginning of tho rule of the people, for our exports in '74, 76, 7T and 78 exceeded our Imports $508,449,238, and this year they hove exceedod them $240,000,000, or in all since the eloction of a Democrat Congress $748,449,230. ApplouBe.J That Is what a Domocrotlo Congress has done for the whole country. Now what has Governor Robinson done for the State 7 In '74 it coat to run the canals of this Stato ovor and above the lnoomo derived from thorn $3,842,892.75, and $3,333,425 of that amount was direct tax upon the people; but in '78, under Govornor RoWn son'B administration, tho canals cost only $903,342.03, and it was all paid out of the canal revenues without dollar of tax being levied upon tho people apploneo, and all that has been done with lower rates of toll and better service than ever before. Applauso.

But Governor Robinson has been at work in another direction. In '70 the people wore taxed to run tho State prisons $754,393.85 In excess of thoir earnings, and that amount hod to be raised by levying direct tox upon the peo Fle. To day tho Stato prisons are self supporting, T4, undor RepuWicon rulo, tha State taxes were $15,737,482.08, and under Governor Robinson's administration in "77 they were reduced to $7,078,103.74. Applause. In 1805 the Stato debt was $51,041,537.80, and to day, deducting the sinking fund, it Is but $8,130:728.29.

Applause. I hove but ono other Instance to olte, and then I will not woary you with any moro figures, it is this, in less thon three years a Republican Legislature has attempted to spend of the people's money the Bum of $1,534,015.30, ond It would have been spent had not Governor Boblnson stamped his veto upon the extravogant eohomes, ond thus saved that amount to tho people. Applause. Tha following letter from Senator Japob3 was thon read! Bboobxyk, Ootober 2. My Deab Sir I havo business of the State Committee to attend to, and if I can get through with It In time will be with you.

If not I tru8' that some othor opportunity may be offered for mo to Join with my old constituents in their ratification of our nominees. "ftuly yours, Johh C. Jacobs. JOHK GILBEKTBOK. Short addresses were afterward dollvered by Hon.

Charles W. Lyon and Mr. J. Stowart Boss and thon tho meeting adjourned Tenth Ward Democratio Ratification meeting. Lost evening one of the old time Democratio meetings was held at tho comer of Bond and Douglass streets, the occasion being the ratification of the State ticket by the Democrats of tho Tenth Ward.

The proceedings wero commenced in the Demooratlo headquarters of tho ward, but it was found that tho rooms would not accommodate a quarter of the number of people present; on motion, therefore, the speakers left tho rooms, and took their places upon a stand which had been erected at the Intersection of tho streets, and which was appropriately draped with flags and illuminated by lime lights. The meeting was called to order in the headquarters by Mr. James tho President of the ward organization, who said Wo have assembled here tonight as Democrats, with one object in view, as you alj know, to give expression to "the satisfaction that wo feoi ai tha nominations made at tho recent State Convention, and to make a public declaration of tho same by a hearty and earnest indorsement of the State ticket pledging ourselves to work faithfully early and lato, end' do all in our power to roll up a largo majority for it at tho coming election. The meoting was then organized es follows: Jacob I. Bergen, Chairman; Jame3 L.

Connelly, Secrotary, with the following Vice Presidents and Secretaries: Vice Presidents, Meagher, Wm. Harper, DcHart Bergen, James Riley, Bernard Morkoy, Terence Cole, John Murphy, Wm. Crowell, James carr, u. u. Phillips, Wm.

Tho first speaker of tho evenlna was Mr. Sullivan, ness of the Campaign. A Cornell Ratification Meeting in tne Nineteenth Ward, and Meetings of Be publican Associations in the Fourth, Twelfth and Twenty first Wards. The Central Cornell and Hoskins Campaign Club of the Nineteenth Ward held a ratification mooting last evening, nt the headquarters, 200 Hooper street. When the meeting was called to order, snoruy o'clock, by President Benjamin W.

Wilson, the hall was about half filled. Tho mlnuteB of the previous meeting were read by Secretary Charles Post. The Chairman said that since tho previous meeting of tho club tho Exeoutive Committee had hold a session at hiB houso. The eornostness evinced by the committee warranted him in assuring the assemblage that they meant work. The speaker referred to the slim attend ance, wnicn ne aitnuutea to tne warmvu i and tho number of meetings 'being bold last night in other wards.

COLONEL W. JOKES, Superintendent of the Fourth street Post Offleo Station, was tho first speaker. He expeotod to see a larger audience ond more speakers. They were on the eve of a campaign that would exert a mighty influence on the coming Presidential election. The Stato and oity tlokets and Issues Blnk into insignificance before the great contest a year hence.

Tho North wont into tho late war reluctantly, after having first exhausted every measure'of conciliation, and with the final victory, they thought that the fact that this was a nation and not a mere confederation of States which could disband and sot up in business for tbemsefves at will, was for ever settled. After fighting treason and outdoing the father in tho story of tho prodigal son by paying the war ex penseo, etc, yet the South was not satisfied. They begin to Bhow the olpvon foot. All sound man regret this, but the foct was that tho North finds itself on the same threshold In the matter of States rights that existed prior to the' war, and under one device or another Blavery was continued in the South to day. The Bpeaker told of a trip to tho South a few years ago, and stated what he saw and learned there.

Under tho prison system, whioh Colonel Alston, of Georgia, lost his life for exposing and denouncing, colored men were hired out for a nominal sum to planters and farmers who virtually becamo their owners. The speaker asserted that the intelligent young men of tho colored race who organized political olubs and aspired to leadership wore sworn Into prison and Bold out Into virtual slavery meroly to get rid of them. The apprentice system was another of tho Southern devices to enslave tho colored youth. Under ita operation the colored boy was apprenticed until he was twenty one years old, but God only knew when ho would attain his majority, aa no records of the contract were kept. The oountry was practically bock to whore it was in 1859 and 1860.

Thoy should try peaceably to eeoure actual freedom or Jl, and if they failed thoy Bhould be prepared to put on the armor and give cue duucii SHOTOTW FOB SHOTGUN. Applause. Tho first point gained woulowe to carry thft Stato. A tloket wa9 made up by tho loading mfuds of the party. Tha candidates might not suit all, yet the nominoos wero men of integrity.

It was not neceBsary to eulogize Cornell to an American audience. He was known as a great organizer. It has been Bald that he was a machine man. A machine was necessary whon it was not run tyrannically. When it gets bad, break It and put in new wheels.

A voice We have got a good machine here and nobody has got any right to smash it. Laughter. The epoakor next said that good Jaoksoniah Democrats, men who oould not stand corrupt cipher dispatches and attempts to buy up the Electoral votes of States, had good cauBo to feel dissatisfied with the nomination of ItoblnBon. He Boblnson to a flea hopping around in all pirtloa until taken up by Tilden to help him to the Presidential' chair. He referred to tho removal of the New York Police Commissioners as in violation of every prlnclplo of law and Justice.

They wero removed for a sinister purpose, as Democrats well know that they were unable to carry tha Stato without great frauds on the ballotbox, Applause. He claimed that it was the Intention of the Democratic party, at tho coming Presidential election, to carry tho country at all hazards, and, in support of his claim, he dotailod tho conversation in which Senator HUTb son took a prominent part. Voung Mr. mil waa represented as saying that the Democrats would carry the country by fair means 6t foul that with the accession of that party to powor changes would be made In the Supreme Court to suit tho deslgaB of the Southerners, and that the whole work of Republican legislation In the South would be undone. The press of the South, which were daily filled with abuse of the North, looked as If they were edited by one man.

He Bald that Republicans and even Northern Democrats were soolally ostracised in the South. The South regarded tho olive branch held out by the North as an indication of cowardice rather than good feollng. The youth of tho South were receiving a military education at tho Bchools. "We must beat them with ballots," said tho speaker in conclusion, "or wo may have to fight them again with bullets before many years." Applause. OOLOHEL STEOMAN waa tho next speaker.

He olaimed the attitude of the South to bo threatening, referred to the political murders oommltted there, held that it was as much as a Republican's life was worth to express his opinions publicly south of Mason and Dixon's line, and said that it behooved every Republican who fought originally in the party to stand by their oolors now. After expressing himself in favor of the abolition of the present prison contract labor system, ho came down to the State ticket. The Republicans had no reason to blush at their ticket. In every requisite, Cornell stood fore moBt sr a grand old who would do honor to the gubernatorial chair of the Empire State. Ho eulogized Hoskins for his kindness of heart, and Wads worth and Carr for their patriotism in responding to their oountry's call in tho hour of her peril.

With all the care that oould be exercised by human minds the ticket was selected, and as a whole It could not be excelled. After making a comparison between Robinson and Cornell, highly flattering to the latter, the Colonel said that if New York went Demooratlo thlB election, Tilden would bo that party's candidate for President a a year hence, and would stand a chanco of success. With Tilden In the Presidential chair, there would be wreok of all honesty. Tilden, though exceptionally well Informed in ancient history, is a blank page to everybody as well as to himself on the present and future of the United. States.

He regarded Tilden and Robinson as Imbeciles, There was a wrong impression abroad about Robinson. He had stood squarely in front of Boblnson and conversed with him about measures and After an hour's conversation Robinson told the speaker, though he spoke in Elaln and forcible that 0 scarcely knew what (the Colonol) had eald, cut bo" could oall at another time. Laughter. The Bpeaker next referred to John Kelly's candidacy, and hoped every good Democrat would vote for him. Kelly knew how to manage Tammany Hall as It ought to bo managed, Laughter.

Good Democrats ought to vote for Kelly, as every ballot caBt would count for he would not say Cornell as thoro waa an Kaole reporter presont, and he would be sure totakeit down. Laughter, He olaimed the 8tate to bo Republican, but the present contest was a peouliar one and they could not afford to lose a single vote. He was astonished recently to Bee the names of good Republicans attachod to a petition in favor of Robinson. Whon he looked away back into BoblnBon's career he would not care at present to trust him with thousands of dollars. Robinson's connection with tho Widows' and Orphans' Insurance Company of New York years ago was, to Bay the least, rather dubious.

He sold out his stock, and the ooncorn immediately went to ploces. It was strange that KobinBon got all ho could out of It, retired, and the thing then went to ploces. He had his doubts about a man who would do that. Applause. Captain Ambrose Snow, when called upon for a speech, said that he considered it tho first duty of every good citizen to belong to a political party.

HON. XBA BtJCKMAN made the closing address. His speeoh was a vigorous and able one. He treated the Southern Coming to State offalrs, he disputed the clatmB of Tildo'n and Robinson to have reduced the State debt. He eulogized tho nominees of the Republican party, aud closed by appealing to his hearers to support them.

The meeting then adjourned. First Ward. Republicans. The Republican Association of tho First Ward held a meeting last evening at No. 172 Montague street, Mr.

Bennett was in tho chair and Mr. H. W. Squire was seoretary. Tho Committee on tha BeviBlon of tha Roll reported.

Soveral names of persons dead or removed rbm the ward were read, as was also a list of members found, aa alleged, to be Democrats, The report, with the exception of that part referring to alleged Democrats, waa adopted. The list of alleged Democrats was called for and read as follows Laurence MaoNamara, 233 Bridge street; John Bowler, 10 Lawrence street; Patrick J. Bagley, 215 Jay slroot; Rlohard Gray, 259 Jay street; Maurice Kerrigan, Patrick Kerrigan and Charlie Kerrigan, 245 Jay street; Robert O'Hara, 129 Tlllary streot; James Tremlett, 15 Lawrence street; Edward Wolf, 249 Jay street; Joseph Wolf, 290 Jay street; Michael MoNamee, I Lawrence street; James McCIoskey, 376 Jay street; Dennis McCaBerty, 240 Joy street. Mr. Michael Dady said that Mr.

M. Kerrigan waB a he moved that so far aa that part of the report waB concerned It be laid on the table. WHO AO0OT3ED THEM. Mr. Mulholland asked who charged these men with being Democrats.

Mr. Joseph Reove replied that Mr. HopMna charged all of thorn with being Democrats. Mr. Reeve knew that old Mr.

Kerrigan was a Republican, but iio told tho speaker that as'to hia sons he could not speak. Mi. Dady moved that the names be takon up separately. They were read, and tho result was that all were vouched for excopt Messrs. Bowler, B.

Gray, O'Hara, Tremlelty E. Wolf and 3. Wolf. These were on motion ordered to be strloken from tho roll, and the others were referred back to the committee. On reeonslderatfqn a motion was made to strike out the aUeged DeTaoorats'ftom the roll.

Mr. Dady opposed it much energy. He said that it was oil outrage on ihe Republicans of the ward that the" names of these mon ahould be stricken off at the instigation of a oliquo. If it was proved that these men wer really Bemocrots then would be tha flrstmanlo request Ihem to bo Btriokeacff, but he wduia oppose IU being done in the Interest of a lectloh. Mr.Andrew J.

Smith thought that tho aotloa of tho InveettRaBiw CtorarhMee wss pure bosh if thaw men were Republicans, A PUT UP JOB. A member Bald with an oath thnt they ware better Republicans than some ia. tha meeting. The speak was told last everffhg that thU Job waa to be put up, nd these mon wore to be taken teio the rou. Mr.

Philips suggested that each namo be callea, and If the focused person was present he piam sneak. After a number of suggestions and amendments, Mr. Philips moved that the names of tho alleged Democrats be referred back to the committee, and the persons be asked to appear and show cause why they should not bo stricken off. Mr. Joseph Roova seconded the motion, if Mr.

Hopkins had been thore Mr. Reeve would have moved the expulsion of the men, but they ought to have the man present who made the charges, and have him face tho meeting. The motion to refer back prevailed. Mr. Michael Dady said that ho would: liko to know whether the Investigating Commlttco wore to discipline one fictioaand not another, and whether ten or twolve men were to be removed from the Toll in the Interest of his friond, Mr.

A. B. Bergen. Mr. Joseph Beovo presonted resolutions on the death While pious Mr.

Hayes is singing his hymns and averting his eyes from the robbery of th'e savages, General Sherman desires a greatly increased army to "punish these In "dians and avenge the dead." Punish them, for what For defending their own property against trespassers. If the General of the Army will guarantee the extermination of every Indian agent in the country, there is small doubt that a sufficient force could be provided to execute this most desirable plan, but even then it would be far more economical and would embody prettier poetio justice, to withdraw the army, keep our treaties anjqtperinit the red men to deal with the white robber as he deserves. Indeed, not even the shining agricultural virtues of the late Mr. Meeker, at Milk River, have aroused that profound regret which the taking off of anybody but an Indian agent by savages usually provokes. Another Local Orator out of Tune.

The Hon. W. W. Goodrich is not usually termed "a war horse" of his party, and this is, perhaps, because he is not, physically, a large man, and a "war horse" even a political war horso is usually associated with size and strength. A fine horse, under the excitement of battle, is said to be a perfect embodiment of animal life and vigor.

Mr. Goodrich is, however, an untiring "worker" when he is a candidate and even when he is not, he very rarely declines to give his services on the stump, when they are needed. Mr. Goodrich has already taken the stump this year, and tho night before last he made a speech before the Republicans of the Third Ward which was, of course, duly reported in the Eagle. Mr.

Goodrich has been absent in Europe for some months, and on his return we expected to find him come up fresh and full" as an advocate of his party. The Eagle was, therefore, disappointed by Mr. Goodrich's Third Ward speech, which seems to have been condensed with much skill in tho report which has appeared in the Eagle, and which we take the liberty of reproducing, as follows Ho held that tho Republican party was a reading party. It supported the best nowspapors and tho finest it. was now twentv five years since the Re publican party was organized, and Bince that time it had abolished slavery and had eaed the country from destruction.

That party was iqrmea on prim. ipie which wero intended to hold the Ropublio together. It has brought depreciated currenoy np to par with gold, and that was one of tho principles of the party which touched the pockets of every ono. The blood shed by bleeding Kansas in ono part of the country had been shed in vain, for men at the present time could not go to tho South and speak for honest Republican principles. The speaker advortod to the Judgo Chls holm murder, and cited it as proof of his observation.

New York, said the speakor, was the pivotal State in thn mutest of next vear. Let New York go Demo cratic this year, said ho, ond one other prominent State In tho North, and Samuel J. Tlldon will loom up as the Democratic candidate for President. Tho contest thie year wasjthe entering wodge to tuo presidential election, and If Republicans did not do thoir duty now, the safety of the country would be endangered. He said the Remihllo was Btacaerina under $2,000,000,000 of debt, aud if the Southern Democrats were allowed to come into power they would, with the aid of Samuel o.

don and othor Northorn Democrats, moro than double that debt by compelling tho country to pay them enor mous and fraudulent claims. Ho closed by calling upon his hearors to stand firm and victory would perch upon their banners. Now, all this is very trite, and it is said in a ven' trite way. No Repubhcan needs to be told that "all the intelligence of the country" is embodied in his party. All the morality used to be, but honors have been easy on that score for some years past.

The Republican party was not founded on the principle of holding tho Republic together. On the contrary, it was founded on principles whioh did not hold the Union to be of supreme consideration. and the contrary of this was never claimed by the original anti slavery leaders. There is no proof that men cannot go South and advocate honest Republican principles." The experi ment has not been tried in that section these many years. Organized plunder is not Republicanism, and that is the way Republicanism presented itself in the South, under negro and carpet bag rule.

Such Republicanism would not be endured in Vermont. It was bocause of this that Mr. Goodrich supported Horace Greoley, in the hope that through his elec tion self government could be restored to the Southern people, and a division of parties on other than sectional linos be made feasible. Even defeat in that purpose counted far more for free government in. this oountry than many of tho victories won by either of the established parties.

Our present purpose, however, is not so much to antagonize Mr. Goodrich in what he says as to point out to him that he is not saying anything which is pertinent to any issue now before the people of the State of New York. Through the present State government, and that which has immediately preceded it, thieving has been stopped, and honest and frugal rule has been established in State affairs. The question is Shall we indorse what has been done, and direct a continuance of well doing, by approving of the conduct of those who have done admirably well, and who are doing well Next year, if Mr. Tilden should be a candidate, it will be in order to show that he ought' not to be elected, because he will double the national debt.

If there is a probability of any such thing, he ought not to bo elected. But Mr. Tilden is not now a candidate he may never be a candidate. Lucius Robinson, at all events, can be relied upon to pay no moro "claims" than he can help, and this is to our present purpose. Mr.

Goodrich's notions will be timely next year, perhaps, but they have no more relevance to the present issues before the people of this State than the weather predictions, which will be found in due time in the next year's almanac. Mr. Goodrich should read up industriously on State politics, and in this way make up for the time he has lost in Europe. Is Thero to bo a Nolle Prosequi Among the Eagle's Court news last night was tho following In June last Supervisors Quick, Byrne and Egolf and ox Supervisor Tiernoy, oil members of the Supplies Committee of 1878, were Indicted, along with Harrison Brothers and Storekeeper Michael Coffoy, for conspiracy, in approving a $2,000 bill for drugB and potatoes, which wore not worth more than 500, Harrison Brothers being charged with supplying the goods, knowing that thoy wero not of tha value; claimed; onaoouey wnn accepting them, knowing that the claim was an overcharge. It Is said that a nolle prosequi la to be entered when the Oyer and Terminer convenes.

If there is to be a nolle entered, we trust the District Attorney will so far oblige, the public as to do it before election time, so that they may have an opportunity to express opinion on it at the polls. Tho people of Brooklyn have come to take considerable interest in the Charities Department, and they will not allow officials and contractors accused of evil praotices in it to escape without knowing the reason why. It is impossible that the indictment in question was drawn bocause of misinformation, but that there was every appearance of fraud is as truo as that Commissioners Storms, Zeiser and Midas, who are banded in opposition to the honest exertions of Commissioners Ship man and Henry, ought to be in jail. Nolle prosequiea are very good things, when it is plain to the District Attorney that the ends of justice would not be subserved by prosecution but they are not good things when their effect is to relieve from the necessity of making a defense men who, to say the least, owe the publio an explanation under oath and subject to cross examination of their conduct. We deem it but just, however, in this relation to say that in our judgment Mr.j Coffey's name ought not to have been included in the indictment, and probably this is also true of Mr.

Byrne; but the District Attorney can easily rectify the wrong done these gentlemen without so far discouraging sincere efforts to reform the Charities Department as to refrain from trying anybody under the indictment found. Personal Journalism in England. The recent encounter in London between the editor of the Daily Telegraph and the editor of Truth, who is ilsb part proprietor of the Daily News, points amoral which the people of this country, have heretofore taken to heart, and byw.hfottWy'lHW: profited, to the improvement of the press and the consequent benefit of the The; moral is briefly this Personal journalism is a great sooial evil, and tho man who praotices it ought to be abated as a publio nuisance. It needs must be that offenses come in this line, but woe unto those by whom they corne From the time of the cowhiding scrapes of the elder Bennett down to the day of Charles De Young and his pistol, this country has been sorely afflicted by personal journalism in its meanest and most malignant forms, but the evil has been to a great extent ameliorated, if not yet eradicated. This good result has been partly accomplished by the discriminating power of publio patronage, and partly by the elevation i of better men to editorial positions.

Criticism A Possible Explanation oi! ITlr, Kelly's Course Is Uncle Sammy' at Cue Bottom of It We copy the following paragraphs" from the New York Star, and for reasons which we may be able to make apparent later on Our esteemed contemporary, tho Br.oOKi.VN Eagle, cornea up to the soratoh, acknowledges its mistake anil oaks tha Star aomo pertinent questions iu relation to the Presidential campaign of 1870, which wo win try to ani.WIt is true that Mr. John Kelly stated it as his opinion that Mr. Tilden could not carry the State of Now York in that campaign. It is true that the State of New York gavo Mr. Tilden a majority of 32,742 votes.

It is also a fact that tho City and County of New ork gave Mr. Tilden a majority of so that it appears that out sldo tho City of New York Mr. Tilden was defeated by a majority of over 20,000. II. It was by Mr.

Tilden's exprarn desire and direction that Mr. Kelly assumed entire charge of that campaign in this city. How thoroughly ho acquitted himself the figures show. We iccll remember on that memorable election day at Tammany Hall the reception of a telegram about every fifteen minutes of the following tenor; "ity dear Mr. Kelly How are weT Where are we I S.

J. In five minutes after the reception of the dispatch tho nephew of his would march in and hold a five minutes' interview, and would solemnly march back to Gramercy Park. At the close of the pollB the nophow was asaurod of tho fact that Tammany Hall had given Mr. Tilden 60,000 majority. Tboso who heard the compliments paid Mr.

Kelly by tho aforesaid nephew scarcely reoliEe tha events that have sinco taken place. Sufflco it to say that had not Tammany Hall acted as it did thoro would never hovo been tho necessity of an Electoral Commission, 'of any bar'), or of any cipher dispatches. Tilden would havo boeu overwhelmingly beatou. III. Now that we havo in good faith answered our esteemed contemporary, we should Ilko to ask it a question.

After tha Kings County delegation and the bar'l had nominated Mr. llobinson, that straight dyed In tho wool and always consistent Democrat, Sam Morris, promised 15,000 majority for Mr. Robinson. Does tho Eaole think that this oracle is any more reliable now than the editor of the Eagle considered himself but a few campaigns ago 1 The Eagle's mistake was iu writing, through inadvertence, tho word "Democratic" for "Republican" in such a connection that every intelligent reader detected the error at onco, and so it did not mislead anybody. The Eagle said that St.

Lawrence was a strong "Democratic" county. All who take the slightest interest in politics know that St. Lawrence usually gives a larger and more reliable Republican majority than any other county in this St. Lawrence went over to the Republicans from the Democrats on the free soil issue. There are perhaps special reasons why St.

Lawrence County should sustain economio government in this State, and we feel satisfied that St. Lawrence will not give its usual Republican majority this year, although we have no reason for believing that, on national issues, St. Lawrence County is not now as strongly Republican as it ever was. I. Now, as to Mr.

Kelly, or Tammany Hall, and tho vote of New York City. We are all well aware that but for tho large majorities given for the Democratic party in these cities, the Democracy would not, as a rule, be ablo to carry this State. This is especially true of late years. There are rea svjib why the principles upheld by the Democratic party should have a peculiar hold upon communities which are especially interested in commerce and in trade of every sort. In this connection it is not worth while entering into a consideration of these reasons.

But it is just as truo that, in this country, the commercial centres incline to Democracy, as it is in England that the Tory strongholds are outside of, and ordinarily remote from, large cities. If Tammany Hall had never been known among men, and if John Kelly had never been born, New York would have been as strongly Democratic as it is, or ever has been. If Mr. John Kelly should make up his mind to live for the balauco of his life in Europe, on the fortune he has made in New York in poli tics, there would be a certainty of losing just one tumultuous Democratic voter in New York and this is all. To say that Tammany Hall, or John Kelly, made or keeps New York City Democratic is bosh.

To say that either can give or withhold the Democratic vote of New York, is very little better. Those who make their broad and butter out of tho Democratio party in New York, maintain the Democratic party organization there, and they find it to be to their interest to do so. They are well paid for what they do. When a Tammany office holder, in receipt of a fat salary, talks of what he has dono for the Democratic party through which he obtains his means of living it is difficult to refrain from laughing at him. It is impossible, on the other hand, not to respect tho sturdy Democrat, say in St.

Lawrence County, who helps support and maintain the organization of his party where ho never directly prolittd by it, and never expocts to. The one worker is engaged in his business the other is making sacrifice for principle, or, at all events, his aims are unsordid and respectable. If Tammany Hall were disbanded, and if its very name could be effaced from the memory of man, by next year there would not be one Democratic voter the less because of it, and there would, probably, be a very great many more. II. On the personal relations which are said here to have existed between Mr.

Kelly and Mr. Tilden, oven after tho St. Louis Convention, our Tammany Hall contemporary is entitled to be accepted as an authority. It appeared at St. Louis, certainly, that John Kelly entertained feelings of strong personal enmity toward Tilden.

Mr. Kelly and his henchmen were not content at St. Louis with merely predicting that Tilden "could not carry his own State, but they undertook to show that he ought not to carry it, for reasons reflecting personal discredit on him which have been made familiar to the public through the Republican organs, and were lifted into importance at a Democratic Convention, because of Kelly's and Tammany's indorsement of them. Yet, if our contemporary is to be trusted.eveu after Mr. Kelly had helped Tilden at St.

Louis by opposing him and abusing him Mr. Kelly went earnestly to work to make his predictions at St. Louis ridiculous, by securing Tilden's success. At Mr. Tilden's "express desire and by his direction" Mr.

Kelly assumed entire charge of his interests in New York City took charge of the campaign in fact. And at this time Mr. Tilden was addressing notes of a most confidential character to Dear Mr. Kelly." We have met with, more than once, in looking through our exchanges, an ingenious statement to the effect that tho quarrel between Kelly and Tilden is, as the boys say, "a put up job." In other words, that "it is "a make believe "quarrel;" that at heart the two men are most friendly, and that there is nothing in the world Kelly would not do to carry out the wishes and to subserve the interests of Mr. Tilden.

A strong probability is given to this statement because, upon the whole, Tilden's ascendency in our politics within a very few years is phenomenal, and no man has contributed so much to it as John Kelly, alias Tammany Hall. When Tilden was nominated for Governor he had Kelly's active and open support, and at that time he needed it. Kelly and his friends on the New York delegation to St. Louis were committed to vote for Tilden, for tho vote of the State was cast as a unit. If Kelly had talked a9 ho voted at St.

Louis, his influence would have been overshadowed by scores, or hundreds, of men who wero at that convention. Tilden, having secured its votes, may have thought he would gain by Tammany's apparent opposition, and he got it, unquestionably, whether he bargained for it or not, and it helped him very much. A great many old time Democrats said at St. Louis "If Tilden has challenged Tammany's opposition, he must be a good deal of a man, and he must have done very well as Governor of New York to deserve it." If Kelly made himself Tilden's tool to this extent, there was never a more servile tool than he. Tammany's support of Tilden would not have counted for much for the past three years.

Tammany's vindictive and violent abuse of Tilden has ljen th means of keeping Tilden's name be fpro the country as the foremost Presidential candidate. How do we know that Tilden is not writing notes to Kelly, at this very time, in terms somewhat like the following Mv Dead, Kelly Keep It up; your last attack on me was oplondld; it has called out support In unexpected quarters. B. J. T.

Deab Jons Can't you get up a rattling assault upon mo to Rumors abroad that Tammany and Tilden are all right again.

Polton Is beginning to complain of your neglect of him. Always thine, S. J.

T. We will assume that Mr. Tilden put up the job to have Robinson become a candidate, to see such a meeting when there were no local issues. It showed that the people were alive to the demands of the State ticket. He predicted a sweeping victory for it.

Mr. P. J.

Honway said that not only had tho Demo crats thoir old enemy to fight, but a new in the person of John Kelly and his adherents. He may be an honest man, but ho is not an honeBt Democrat. He tried to break up a convention where tho majority should rule, simply bocause ho had a personal spite against Governor Robinson. In one of his speeches he referrud to Phillip of Maccdon, whoso phalanx never forsook him, and to Napoleon, whose Old Guard was always reliable. air.

A regular meeting of the Eleventh Ward Democratic Association was hold last night In Kinfnct Hall, on Canton street, near Myrtle avenuo. Thero wo3 a largo attendance of members.

Mr. John J. Kosnan presided and Mr. Frederick Glddings recorded the proceedings. Mr.

James B. Casey offered a resolution favoring John Dolmar for rononiinotioa for tho County Clerkship, also Btatlng that ho was the strongest candidate that oould be put In the field for that position. Sir. John Dugan moved that tho association indorse no candidate iiutil tho nominating conventions wore hold. Nothing would be gained by taking action before it was known what tho conventions would do, and the speaker hoped that tho resolution would not bo adopted.

Mr. Dugan's motion was carried. Resolutions were then adopted Indorsing tho whole Democratio State ticket. Mr. O'Brien moved that a committoo of throe be appointed to ascertain Governor BobinBon's vlewB on tuo question of convict labor.

The motion was carried without discussion, and tho Chair appointed as auch committee Messrs. O'Brien, Hughes and Kenmore. Mr. William P. Hughes was requested to address tho meeting.

He sold that tho question of CONVICT LABOR was at the present tlmo one of great moment. It aimed at the heart of the Domocrotlo party, far that party was chiefly composed of warkingmou. In it wore mon who had passod years In looming a trado, and it was unfair to place honest labor on a par with that of con vlots. But the tlmo had arrived when it was uecossary lor every Democrat, irrespective of his vlows on convict labor, to stand by the old ship in Its presont crisis. Kings County, tho speaker thought, had been selected to lead the van, and it oould confidently bo expected that it would again bo seen giving as great majority for Robinson as It had for Samuel J.

Tilden. Mr. Hughes hoped that every true Democrat wouid provo hia aversion to dictatorship by voting agalnBt John Kelly, for every vote given to Kelly was half vote for tho Republican party, and every voto given to tho Republican party resembled tho feeding of a dog which would afterward bite ita master's hand. Mr. Michael Uru said that, with all duo respect to tho gentleman who moved tho appointment of a committee to ascertain Governor Robinson's vlows on convict labor, he thought tho motion entirely unnecessory.

Tho stand taken by Mr. Robinson ought not to prevent citizens from voting for him, as hiB record was ono of tho best ever made by any occupant of tho Gubernatorial ohalr, and the way he had reduced taxes reflocted upon his ability and integrity. Facts were tho telling poluts in a political canvass, and there were sufficient to provo Robinson's claim to re election. It was uocessary for every Democrat to work hard this Fall, and in tho long run John Kelly would bo buriod in his political grave, and tho manhood ond Intelligence of the party would be assorted. Mr.

John Newman said that ho had been a life long Democrat, and that though old In years, he waa firm and vigorous In the Domocrotlo cause. Ho appreciated tho Importance of tha present campaign, Presidential Issues largely depending upon It and he hoped that every young man would prove his desire to see good government by advocating tho Democratio ticket and inducing others to do so. Tilden ond Robinson had made two of tho best Governors the Empire Stato had ever had, the latter, during his short term of office, having reduced taxes from fifty two to eight millions uf dollors. Ex Assemblyman Heyenborg said that THE FIELD Of DISCUSSION affordod Democratic speakers was largo enough to oc cupy the consideration of the greatest of minds. Kings County would this year bo expected to take tho front rank, and its position greatly resembled that of its delegates at Syracuse Everything doponded upon It, and It wae gatherings liko the one tho speaker addressed that etlrred enthusiasm, that mado votes and that tended to insure good government.

Tildeu hod received a majority of 18,000 in Kings County, aud if ho were again to run as the Presidential candidate he would receive still moro votes. Tha Impress of bad faith could be seen in John Kelly ond his minions. Reared In tho Democratio party, enjoying the emoluments of tho offlceo In ita power to bestow, he showed his Ingratitude, his olushncsa and the basoucss of his nature, by taking Btep which threatened the party's success. Every voto was needed, and 'those mon who looked upon victory as assured wero somewhat mistaken in their views. But it was possible, with firm will, to accomplish most things, and the speakor felt assured that there would bo no lack of perseverance ond unity among the honest Democrats of glorious old Kings.

Applause. Robinson's recover hod boen reviewed, tho men comprising tho rest of tho tloket had made on honorable record, and by their election and thot of Robinson tho reforms Inougurated by Samuel J. Tlldon would be more efficiently carriod out. Applause On motion, the meeting then adjourned. Fifteenth Ward Democrats.

Coined. After some routine business tho committee adjourned to meet at tho coll of the Mr.

Henry A. Phillips presiding, and Mr. Frank Garrett recording. Tho minutes of tho last regular meoting wero read and approved, but somo little discussion arose upon a motion to adopt tho minutes of a special meeting held last week, for tho reason that it bod not been proporly advertised. Thoy were finally approved.

A roport from tho Investigating Committee being called for, Mr. Taylor presented a document containing the names of one hundred and forty nlno applicants, who were recommended for admission. Three names wore reported upon adversely, ono of them being Frederick Zerkel who was described as being a resident of tho Fourteenth Ward. Mr. Zerkle, who waa In the hall, indignantly announced that ho had lived in the Twenty flrBt Ward for the lost twelve yoars.

Mr. James Kinney moved that Mr. Zerkel's namo be added to tho list. The motion was agreed to. A very animated discussion then ensued over the names of Messrs.

G. W. and Richard J. Hogau, who were deolared to live in the Eighteenth Ward. A varloty of motions were mado in connection with tho question of admitting them.

Ono gentleman hoped thoy would be enrolled, another hoped tho motion would lay on the table, and a third averred that the names should be referred baok to the Investigating Committee. Twenty voices callod for tho provious question at the same time, and as many members claimed that they wero entitled to the floor. Tho Chairman had a very heavy walking stick and ho used It on the table with marked effect. He kept up a continual and vigorous hammering. Mr.

Watson wanted to know what thoy were higgling about and was told by a member, whose namo could not be ascertained, to go to One member, who Bald that he wanted nothing but harmony, was accused of giving his colleagues "sugar," but he spoke In such a conciliitpry tone that he was asked whether he supposed himself In a Methodist meeting. The names of tho Messrs. Hogan being finally enrolled the report of the Investigating Committee was adopted, Mr. Crawford moved that John Walker, of 68 Walworth street, be readmitted, his name having, ho declared, been stricken from the roll by mistake. Mr.

Watson moved that three others be readmitted along with Mr. Walker. A member said ho couldn't bwoIIow that, Mr. Crawford would not glvo way. Tho names submitted were enrolled by a decisive vote.

The Executive Committee reported tho rocelpt of $8 in subscriptions. Further subscriptions being declared in order, Mr. William Morris suggostod that the members who had so long been drawing Uncle Sammy Tilden's money should como forward and pay tho expenses of the hall. The Chair reminded Mr. Morris that he himself was an officeholder, but Mr.

Morris protested that he had not made a cent out of his constableshlp. No subscriptions being forthcoming, tho special committee appointed to investigate the revision of tho roll book presented a report through its Chairman, John H. Fishor. The report was a very elaborate document, setting forth tho reasons for dropping certain names from the roll and suggesting that changes be made in tho manner or Keeping tne minutes. Mr.

Horace Carll moved that the latter part of tho roport reflecting on tha Sooretary be stricken out. Mr. Jones waa of the opinion that tho Socretary was inoompetent, and he hopsd the report would be adopted. The question being divided, that part of the report having no reference to tho Seoretary was adopted. Mr.

Kinney then made an appeal In behalf of the Secrotary. Tho Secretary was a aolicato man he might say a sick man and it would bo practically censuring him to adopt the remaining part of the report. Mr. 8pear. of the committee presenting the report, said they had done their work conscientiously; and found that tho Secretary had erased nomes without the authority of the association, and hod presented othor evidouces either of omissions of duty or something else which warranted the submission of such a report.

Ho had shown no disposition to perform hiB duties, and it seemed to him time that the association had a Secrotary who had time, ability and strength enough to do his work, Mr. Kinney didn't think tho Secretary had beon gull ty of fraud. Ho dldu't believe that any present Secretary or any futuro Secretary laughter had everstripkon names from the roll without authority. Mr. Morris thought it was voryalngular that the inquiry into tho Secretary's acts Bhould be made so near the eve of election.

Mr. Kemble movod that tho remainder of tho report be laid on the tablo. The ayoB and nays wore both vooiforously given, but the Chairman deoided that the roport was tabled. TUo committee then wont Into executlvo session. Ywenty fifth Ward Cornell Club.

The Executive Commlttco reported that they had mode arrangements to hold a ratification meeting on the evening of Thursday, the 9th inBtaut? and all tho oommitteos roportod everything progressing favorably. The names of ulnotcen now members wero then added to the roll. A short address was delivered by ex Alderman Robert Hill, urging united action on the part of all true Republicans and predicting that by such a course the success not only of tho State, but alBO of tho local ticket would be assured. On motion it wae resolved to koep the club rooms open every evening during the campaign from seven to ton o'clock. Tho meeting then adjourned until next Thureday A Bowronville Cornell Club.

Speeches by Colonol Missing, of the Twenty fifth Word S. L. Cav erly, of the Eighteenth Ward, and others followed, after which arrangomonts wore made for holding an open air meeting, to be addressed by prominent speakers. An adjournment took place until' Monday evonlng noxt, whon a grand banner raising will take place, PEB80NAL AND POLITICAL. From the Nation.

We hope the statement of the Commercial Bulletin that tho celebrated Silas B. Dutcher has obtained a month's leave of absence from Secretary Bhermon "to stump the State for A. B. Cornell" is not true. If It wore, It would indicate that Secretary Sherman had talten an amount equal to ono month of Dutcher'a salary out of tho Treasury for electioneering purposes without warrant of low.

It would, too. be a substantial violation of the civil service order, ond it would not 'bo "civil servioe reform." It would, moreover, fully Justify a Demooratlo President In dismissing Dutcher when he came into office, and putting a roan Into hla placo who would stump the Stato for tho Democrats. For these and many other reasons we cannot help believing that the Bulletin has been imposed on by ono of Dutcher'a enemies. Harper's Weekly has at last recommended tho scratching of the Republican ticket as the beBt means of defeating the maohloe and aaviDg the convention of year from being managed by Conkling. In doing so it furnishes somo striking evidence of the depth of the dissatisfaction felt by Republicans throughout the State over the doings of the machine at Saratoga.

We must now hope the Times and Evening Post will follow ita example. The timet will have the less besl cotton in doing so as it hos notoriously lost the organship, which has passed to the Mr. Cornell himself has accepted his nomination In a letter which has at A. tun nnr.Ti ita "modGRtv But he oould not help being modest he hoa nothing to boast of that would bear the light Xou surely would not have him tell tho voters that during the past ten years he hod controlled so many hundred primaries, laid so many mllea of "pipe," pulled so many dozens of had done so many days of log rolling hod hung his banner so many times on the outer wall; whoolod so many Umes into line, and presented so many unbroken fronts to tho enemy, and had been a truo and faithful henchman. And yet it ia of these things that his record is made up.

Mr, Tilden's vitality and continued hold of tho Democratio maohine are made all the more remarkable by the rapid succession of the misfortunes which overtake his reputation. Hia refusal to pay the pedigree mon In London for "a handsome family tree" until compelled by throats of legal proceedings, a reported by Mr. Field, was a great blunder: so waa the disappearance of tha books fn his railroad uit Now comes another in his moving for a bill of particulars in his income tax suit. HeBoldlnhiB affidavit that was ignorant of tho particulars of the claim made against him, and therefore wanted to know what Items of bis income tho Governmont thinks ho concealed. But to this Judge Choate, in denyiDg the motion, made the crushing observation that "he (Mr.

Tilden) does. not awear that ho is ignorant of tho particulars of hia income during tho periode in question." (The Court might have added that It be were, all he had to do was to apply to the jfisio York Timei.) Tharef ore the could not surprise him pn tha trial. If they alleged that ho nad received money whioh he hod not received, contradictory proof could bo easily adduced. Disapproving as one must do of this old candidate; conduct, ono must acknowledge that he bears his toad of opprobrium in'a very gallint manner, and, though bowed down with inlquityi still give full work to at least twadozen oble bodied Republican moralists, and nothing but daily exposure seems to bo considered sufficient to keep blm out of tho White House.

D. D. F. and Dor shelmer will help us with the old timo Domocrats, by consolidating thorn our way. Of tho Tweed judgos, Car dozo is still left.

Can he be got A single speech from him would give Robinson five thousand votes. Do mosthenos could not holp us as much as Cardozo. 'Tom" Dunlap's disaffection was, on tho whole, ill ad visod. Spinola Bhould be oncouragod to be as active as possible. Can he not be sent to some of tho strong Republican counties Spinola against Robinson in St.

Pardon all this, If it seems at all intrusive. Full and explicit public explanations will be made in due time, and then a grateful country will admit that Tammany under you will have dono as much for good government as Tammany under Tweed ever did against it. Until after election, porhaps, your disguised but over grateful friond S. J. T.

Now, if our estoomed contemporary, the Star, will explain these letters, or will reconcile thoir non existence with tho course pursued by Mr. John Kelly and Tammany Hall, of late and at present, tho Eaole promises, in return for this courtesy, to address itself to the conundrum the Skir propounds as to whether Judgo "Sam" Morris is, in tho Eagle's opinion, more of a political prophet this year than he used to bo. The Wrongs of Indians. It is just possiblo that tho serious disaster which Major Thornburgh's ill armod cavalry command has met with at Milk River may have the effect of working upon tho dormant moral sense of the community to a realization of the atrocity of our relations with the Indians. It is inconceivable that an upright nation should continue to view with apathy the shameful practices of a hypocritical Administration toward the remaining fragments of the original owners of the soil, and tho fact that the wrong, while everywhere admitted, meets with no outburst of indignant reprobation is one of the most mournfully suggestive signs of the times.

While Mr. Hayes and Mr. Schurz at the White House are making the walls ring with thoir hymns and precious temperance melodies, their upturned eyes are religiously averted from tho atrocious system of plunder and knavery of which the Indian and the soldier are jointly the victims and from which arise the frequent conflicts whoso principal result is to destroy both for the profit of a Government ring of thieves. Tho apathy of tho public in this regard is the most deplorable part of tho matter. That such knavery should exist should be universally acknowledged and should remain year after year unmolested is shameful in the last degree, and the fact not a voice is raised against it betokens a paralysis of the publio conscience, such as ronders possible the stealing of the Presidency, tho open sale of post traderships, the perjury of Cabinet officers and the thousand and ono offenses of which the Government stands indicted.

The war with the Utes, as has been pointed out already, must be due to some cause of excessive exasperation. Year after year the poor savages have lost territory in Colorado. In 1805 they ceded to the United States the largest tract of land ever surrendered by one tribe and a little later were forced to give up more. The equivalent of these lands was nominally a Government annuity, which, by the hocuB pocus of tho department, has usually been absorbed by the Indian agents before reaching the Indians. It is on record, and is stated by the New York Tribune that in 1877 when the annuities were not forthcoming, the TJtes accepted the situation without a murmur, remaining even under this fresh exasperation, peaceable and friendly.

The failure to supply them with rations naturally tempted them off thoir reservation, but even then no trouble occurred. It was not until, in defiance of their treaty rights tha United States permitted the whites to make a further irruption into their territory for mining purposes, and this timo without even a suggestion of compensation, that the long suffering savages grew restive. Their blood is up, and they propose to fight. Of course, in the long run, thoy will be vanquished and driven to another barren reservation, rather than go to which they will fight to the death. Meanwhile General Sherman, while junketing with the President at Indianapolis, cries out to his audience to demand of their Congressmen more men.

"We have but 25,000 "men in whole United States Army," says he "ana 5,000 of them ore clerks." Not more.thari 20,000 troops for picket service on tho' frontier and political terrorism at tho polls. General Sherman forgot to announce, and the thoughtless crowd forbore to ask him, what the necessity was for a larger army or, indeed, for any army in the Far West. Could he point to any instance within tho past quarter of a century of a treaty between the United States and an Indian tribe being broken by the Indian Absolutely not one. In every case the treaty has been dishonored by tho United States Government and not by the Indian. In every instance tho thieves of.
