the best sustained squeals are apt to grow monotonous unless varied, it has behooved the Times editors tointroduce as much variety into the discord as possible. This they have sometimes been foolish enough to do by reviving memories of the past. Now the past is the thing that the 7imes should have most seduously avoided and suppressed. Yet, in a recent editorial our esteemed con- temporary remarks, that at the epoch of its greatest use and power, the Republican party was bound together by the closest tie members of the party felt, and justly (adds the Times) that they would take any risk rather than defeat their party: ‘ Indepen- dence bore the aspect of a kind of treason.” For the benctit of the Times we will add that the movement of the Independents bears very much that aspect still. Nothing is changed save the Times and a few of its kindred, However, this is not what we sturted in to say. This is the remark of the Times which we are anxiou “The machinery of nomination and appointinent rs who kept control of began to quarrel among ly. ‘Till the Republican party heads left that self-confessed ‘ selfish schem- er,” the V. ¥.

Then they “began to quarrel among themselves ”—id est, the Times went off and sulked by itself, and adopted the past tense instead of the present when it found occasion to publish such sentences as ** Independence Lore the aspect of a kind of treason.” Take Tue JupGe’s advice and let the past alone, dear Times. People are ready enough to institute comparisons without your hints, and you do not stand comparisons well. OVERLOADED DEMOCRACY.

Why, the very ticket they have imposed upon it would be enough to swamp When Mr. Hendricks ran with Mr. Tilden he had not much to do but pose. Now he runs with Cleveland he will haveto do the biggest share of the work, and, after all, he is only big by contrast. Cleveland, politically speaking, is so very, very infinitesimal, THe a President, save the mark! He was away out of his political depth when he was elected Mayor of Buffalo, and, it is pretty safe to affirm, he could not be elected to that office again. Ovr_ through-thick-and-thin-Democratic contemporaries, such as the World, have their hands fall just now. ‘They have to fight Butler and abuse Blaine, and invent Democratic campaign clubs, and, between times, find something to say in Cleveland’s favor. And to do all this some seven times a week is no light task. x ce pcr802" AN ENTERPRISING CLEVELAND ORGAN. Newsroy.
