Tfte Mew Yerk Convention. The harmony that prevailed In the New Yerk Democratic state convention 1b very gratifying te the Democratic sentiment of the country, and n geed augury of the success of the party. It was net a llttle surprising, however, In view of the eutgivings of the metropoli tan newspapera as te the dissension among the delegates in their views as te both candidates and plat form. The result shows hew llttle the newspapers knew and hew peer is their Judgment and foresight. There was everything te counsel harmony te the delegates, in the Importance of unity nnd the real lnslgnlficance of the things about which they were supposed te differ. If Iho Democratic leaders had been given the credit for geed sense which they have shown was their due, it would never have been bellevedthat they would show themselves " spoiling for a field." The newspaper3,ln their search for interesting" news, manage te print a great deal of matter that has no value, because it Is net true, though It is Interesting as long as Its lack or truth Is net discovered. The New Yerk Democrats have shown no division in their choice of candi dates or principles. They have said what the national convention will en dorse heartily, namely, "that no isjue can be mere Important than the election of a president of the United States whose character ami public reputation shall clve te the whole people assur ance of an honest, impartial nnd efficient administration of the laws, willmit suspicions of personal ends or prlvate interests." With tills declaration, it committed ail further exhibition of the national issues te the national convention ; which It is safe te say, whatever ic may further declare, will make the main issue of the canvass te rep se upon the character of the candidate. There will be various interpretations of whatever may be declared upon the tariff, upon which issue tiie truth is that proper legislation can only be reached through the discriminating intelligence of the legislator ; since, in the country's condition, after its long practice of pro pre tectlve principles, free trade U presently as impracticable ai a high and heriz jntal tariff Is unnecessary and impracticable. The leading issue of this campaign is undoubtedly pointed out in the New Yerk declaration. It was made at Chicago when Blaine was nemiuateel. The question " is he honest and (It,'' which will test thp right of the Itepubll cau caudldate te receive the Intelligent vote of the country, cannot be answered affirmatively. Mr. Blaine is distrusted by the business nnd conservative interests of the country, which have a well grounded apprehension of the rastiness of his judgment. His brief reign :is premier of Garfield's cabinet nearly sufficed te break up our peaceful foreign relations , and his career in Congress and tiie character of his present and past associates give no assurance of prudence and cleanliness in the government conducted under his supreme hand. The New Yerk convention presented no candidate, but it is unders'oed that the majority of the delegates che.seu te tne Chicago convention will name Gjv Gjv erner Cleveland, who will therefor. therefer. receive the whole vote of the state under the unit rule, which they were Instructed te observe in conformity with the uninterrupted practice of the state in national conventions. It is i natural presumption that, If the voice of New Yerk Is thus solidly declared for Governer Cleveland's nemina tlen, he will be nominated by the convention, the general understanding being that ns New Yerk's vote must be polled hy our candidate, the decision of her delegates as te the man who can best de the work will be potential, if it is unhesitatingly and decidedly uttered. Should It possibly net be thus clearly given, there are ether candidates before the people who will (111 the te (piirements of the New Yerk platform, and with whom our canvass could be made upon the Issue of honesty ami fit ness, with as much force as with Gov Gov ereor Clevdand. He is by no means the only Democratic statesman who would have the confidence of the people In the honesty, efficiency and Impartiality of his administration. Peiius)lvaHia'd candidate, Mr. Ran dull, has earned (pilte as hign a tnl- us uuy of our statesmen te public confidence In the integrity and capacity which he would bring te the discharge of the presidential functions Dela waie has Baard, Ohie Tnurman. Illiueis Palmer, nnd Connecticut Eaten, in either of whom the public confidence would he supreme. We have abundant material with which te pre sent the clear cut Issue of purity and efficiency in administration ; but the indications are that tiie choice of ether states as te candidates will be mibordi miberdi nated te the choice of New Yeik. Tiie Louisiana Idea. The Louisiana Democratic convention Insists that Mr. Tildrn s'mll be nemi nated by the Chicago convention as a lebuke te fraud, and quite legardless of Ills physical condition. The Louisiana Democrats de net explain hew they could ask votes for a president who could net act as president. The man really veted for would be the vice presi dent. And we suppese the Louisiana Idea te be that the vlce presidential candidate should be eue who would de serve the popular vete for the presiden tial office, und Mr. Tllden should be voted for simply te enter the popular pro pre test nnd verdict upon the jrcut fraud There la something in the idea, and it would be a geed one, perhaps, it we would be sure that the voters would be willing te vete for Tllden, In pretest, knowing that he would net serve, and could be content with Mr. Hendricks ns president, as they might well be. Mr. Hendricks Beems te be tied te Tiiden for hotter or for worse. He Is net named ns a presidential candidate lu Tilden's place, though he is named ns president should Tiiden be elected and die. It seems fltrange that when Tllden is forced by hia physical condi tion te drop out of the presidential race, Mr. Hendricks does uet naturally step into his piace ns a cauuiuaie , out he Is net named for It at all. He was nominated originally against his will en the ticket with Tllden, and then his place wa3 Immovably fixed for all time. This vlce presidential business is a very queer one. Neni: who are acquainted with the clear record of Themas F. Bayard will harbor for an Instant the thought that he was ever unfaithful te the t'nien. His malicious enemlei and uninformed friends should read and ponder his Im passioned declaration te the inuendees of Senater Boutwell : " I will simply s.iy that every drop of bleed in my body comes from men and from women who since tills government was established never harbored a thought or did an act unfaithful or unpatriotic. Ne man can assert the contrary. The Msnaterdare net de se. He knows ns well as I that the man who says I ever did nn act or utter a word unfaithful te the integrity of my country's government lias lied in his threat." It was but a little laded Flower. A rsm i) Doraeorntic party iu New Yerk means a demoralized Republican party evor the country, Rhi'UUMt n organs new claim that Geerge William Curtis has leug been opposed te Blaiue because the latter is au ardent protectionist, gceus.

TIIK STAH lit) U IK IMr.STIOAriUX Attorney isllta Net Helping lilt Cnta brills uecnui retiiineny. Washington dispatch te the Tlmes The impression in Washington is that Attorney Bliss is making a bad muddle of his evidence, which he primarily intended should relieve him from the odium of the charges made against him by Attorney Kcr and ethers, that he was net sincere in the part he played as one of the presecut ing counsel,' iu the Star Reute cases. Instead of explaining the charges as best he might, he recklessly reiterated the often exploded story that Brewster Camer Camer on had attempted at the instigation of Kcr and Merrick, te bribe Dicksen, the feieraan of the jury, te secure a verdict of guilty. When Bliss made this cbarire Ker, who was sitting close te bun, turned quickly and exclaimed : " That is false and you knew it is false." Bliss was subsequently compelled te admit that all be knew about the rumors of attempted bribery was what he saw in the uewspapers. Bliss' insinuation that tbe cemmittee was jKirsecutiug lum for the purpese of manufacturing campaign thunder has uet increased the friendship of oither the Republicans or the Demo crats of that body toward him, and he will ba bandied courteously but inoreilessly during the rest of his examination. Mr. Ker characterized Bliss' allusieu te Brewster Cameren as a malicious and dastardly attempt te besmireh the teputa tieu of ,t faithful and oeusoiunttous pubhe Glileer. Wheu Bliss cencludes his testi raeuy Ker will take the stand, and he premises that his analysis of the ovideuce of the former will lack nothing for want of plain language. (lau. thermal!

After they were retired without t coring, llie first man of the Yorkers went out at short. The second knocked a ball te left Held which was foul by at least 10 feet, et the umplre declared it fair , the next man knoekod a slew ball te right, and It was tee alew te field. In attempting te steal sec ond, Oldfleld threw bun nut, Higglus touched him at least toot from the base. The umpire elled "net out, " and the Ironsides refu-ed te play any longer. When leaving the Held they were set upon by the crowd h.i attempted in every way te raise a light. They fel lowed them te town, and at every corner made threats agunst them. Ti'f whele gain: kept up their repu atieu el being roughs, and as tune men could net whip a town, the Ironsides had but httloshew. The papers of Yerk te day contain windy acceuuts of the game, nnd the Yerk club is praised te the skies, the Ironsides are deueuueed, nnd lies el all hinds are pub lisbed against them. The truth of the matter is that the Yerk nlne cannot play ball, but tbe town will tight, and they cau defeat a nine iu that way only. The talk of the hettsides feir ing defeat is silly, as the Yerk club will never see the day that they can defeat elther Lancaster club by fair meann The whole management of the concern are boys, aud clubs with a i epila epila teon should re! use te visit the town The management of both Lineas ter teams deelare that their nines Khali never go te the tenu again. The best OTideuce that the e.k club cannot play, is seen by the showing they make when plaving here.

A I a in ii I Dinner mid Clan liar rrucriiniine Urnteilr.U OentpM and Ureimttleii Kxer- ile- 1imI) Uommeticoiiient NeM-r did llarbaugh hall ptesent a meto brilliant uppcaiuucc than it did yesterday. The pdhis that support the second lloer wete covered with masses of foliage, while dowers and foliage placed in the several windows, excluded the rays of the sun and mellowed the light. Four long tables, ex tending tbe full length of the hall, mid capable of seating nearly llve hundred guests, weie elegantly spread and laden w ilh choice viands. Every seat at the table was occupied, and scores of visitors were unable te obtain seats. The assembly was called te order by Dr. E. K. Eaohbaeh, aud a blessing was nsKeil by Rev. J. C. Cl.ipp, of North Carolina. The dinner, like all these that have been given by the alumni of Franklin and Marshall, was worthy of the occasion, and was heartily enjoyed by all who partook of it. The tegular toasts were read by Dr. Eschbach, the first being, " The Daniel bchell Observaterj." It was responded te by Dr. J. P. Wickersham, who con gratulated the college ou the certainty that the observatory will be erected lu graud proportions, for Rev. Dr. Miller bad given assurance that the committee having the mattei in charge would have no diflljiilty intituling money with whieh te de the work. Dr. Wickersham paid a high com pliment te Mis. Heed for her muuiilemit endowment, and te Prof. Kerschner, the great astronomer, who is te have charge of the observatory. He predicted that by the tune of the college ccutenuary lu 17, Lancaster will luive net only one of the finest equipped observatories, but also one of the finest chemical laboratories of any college in the eeuutry. The second toast was " i'ue Pursuit of Scientific Knowledge," and Rev. Dr. Wei ser was ea e 1 upon te respond. He pro ceeded in a humorous vein, commencing by sta'tug that ttie chairman had certainly called upon the iuht poison te icspeud, as he knew nothing about .scientific knowledge, and ought no doubt te begin its pursuit. The great difficulty in the way is that tlm scientists set up te-day " frezt-n facts'' of scientific knowledge, which they kiu ok down as wjrthles te morrow. If one wishes te save bis scicu title soul by scieutilic liunwlcdge, be must sheet it en the wing, for what is tciouce today is net science te-morrow. Dr. WeisiT paid a high tribute te .Mis. Heed, which evoked warm opt lause. The third teat w is " The Alutuui of of Franklin aud Marshal! CVllege " llerac Yundt, esi , was called up-ti t. respond, but he was tint present. The leurth toast was ' The L ter.iry S eietics of Franklin aud Marshall College," which was happily lesp n.dtd teby L Krei der Evans, of I'ottstewu, w he speke highl) i if the geed work dene by the G" theans and Diaguetbi.tus, and their lady t'ricuda ; encourage.: them in thurrivalrv and urged them iu their literary ceuU'M. which cannot fail, when properly conducted, te make them truly literary societies. The fifth toast was "Oar Sister Institu tieus," and was rcsnnded te by Rev. J. I'. L'lapp, president f Catawba college, N. C, whuh he Paul was a daughter of Franklin ami Marshall, having been orga nized thirty-tluee years age by seme of the alumni of Franklin and Marshall. Some fifty students have been guaduated from it, aud are doing geed work towards illumining the dark places of the Seuth, where dense illiteiacy prevails. The sixth toast was "Our Alutuui Dm ucr," and Dr. I. te. Davis was called en te respond, which he did in a jocular vein. He thought he was the right man in the right place, wheu a dinner was te be diseased, though he confessed that hejnas often tee full for utterance. The nearest way te a man's soul is through his alimentary canal. He believtd in the motto "short speeches and long sausages." He was ence called ou tu address tive huulred little darkies, who wero about te be presented with eranges and cakes, aud he asked them which they would rather have, a speech from bun or the erauges, and they answered that they would rather have the speech aud every llttle darkey of them lied, and it wasn't a white 1 e, eitber. The last toast ettered was "The Ladies, may they always smile upon us as New." Hen. Jehn Cessna was called upon te rcspet.il. Like the cjlered president of the Republican national convention, he could net rciuru thanks for the honor, for he felt himself unequal te the occasion, though he had been forty years married ar.d i.ught te knew something about the lair sex.
