Ti ere c.iu be no objection, of course, to earnest and determined work in behalf of local fu write, accordiii.tr to legitimate and censiih'raie methods. The friciids of each candidate have a perfect rii'tit to stand by their man iu a resolute and vigorous fashion so as his nouunaliou shall iitiii Hsai-ble or ilasi-uble; but thy have no rit-ht to prolong t'l contest when it become evident that they are in a Uopeless minority, and that iho convention can not bo per-euauod to adopt their preference.

When such a timo comes, it aUoulJ. bo the privilege of tV delegates to transfer their votes to some other man as ahull seem to them to be best for the general interests of the party. The men who compose Republican Na conventions are men of sound and pra. ucal judgment, as a rule, and when left to themselves aro not likely to make uuy frruve mistake; it is only when thoy aro tiod down by absoluto instructions and denied the rk'ht cf independent uction under uny circumstances that they ureupt to blunder and siuuibio.

Tula utterance is found in annual message, of Governor Ilusk, of V. aconain, and is applied to anarchy. It bo almost as com plcto and appropri-C a characterization for the Deinocratio pa -y.

The isitiou of Mr. Farwell will be indorsed by i Republicans who bold party success of greater momeut thaxi booming a "favorite sea." WUl ta TlOnl Ftetjr Tub tkw finis isssr Three times in our history the third party has turned the scale iu Presidential eoa-testa.

And in eu-h instance Kew York was the Ktate which the issue was decided. The vote which that common wealth gave ve James G. Birney, the candidate of the Liberty party, iu 144, reduced the following of Henry I May, the Whig nominee, sufttciently to give the State and the country to James K. Polk, his Democratic oppuueut. Iu IMS Martin Van Bureu, who was the most con spicuous of Sew York's Democratic chiefs.

although in that year the nominee of the Fre Soil party, drew off more than half of the Democratic votes rora Lewis Casa, the regular Democratic candidate at that time. wuu-a gave tho lugs of the State auj made i-achary Taylor President. Four years ago the vote of the Prohibionists woo New York and the Presidency for the Demo cratio party. Will, then, asks the SL Louis Globe-l-m. erat, the third party turn the scale in IShl This ye as in 144, ISIS, and ist, New ork vote may be divisive.

It is true the Prohibitionists four years ao held the balance of power in the two other doubtful States of Connecticut and New Jersey, and that they gave those Cooimouweiilihs to the Democracy in that year. A Republican victory there at that time, however, with New York Democratic, would not have made lUaine Presideut. The probabilities are that New York will be the bat-tie-ground this year. Neither of the greut parties has had a mnjority of the votes of New York since except in a aiurle instance. Iu that year (Jarfield obtained more votes in that State ttian Hancock, Weaver and Dow, the candidates, respectively, of the Democratic, Greenback and Prohibition parties.

In every year since then the balam-e has been held by the smaller parties, some times by one of them alone, except in 1SS3, wheu Cleveland was elected Governor. The strength of tho United Labor party, although it polled 70,000 votes in New York last year, will be an unknown quantity la the present canvass. Its strength will probably be less than half as great in that State as it was lust yeur, while it has probably drawn thus far with something approaching equality from each of tho tjvo big organizations. The Greenback party, even if it should have a distinct ticket this year, would not be likely to have much support in New York. The result may aain depend on the Prohibitionists.

That party polled 25,001 votes New York in 18b4, when it gave the Presi-dency to Cleveland, in 1885, 86,414 in lsStt and 41,850 in 1887, the Doniocratio plurality in the latter year in the State being 17,077. The Prohibitionists predict that their vote this year will reach 45,000 or The Republicans, on tho other hand, are confident that it will not equal lust year's total. Certainly the efforts of the Republican party in the last few months in aid of high license in the State ought to have some effect in reducing the Prohibition vote. But in uny event tho contest in New York this year will be picturesque and exciting. THE PROSPECT.

The roHltlnn President Cleveland Hal Taken in Keterenee to Free Trade Will, If Ills I'arty (Stands by ilim, Defeat It "The Protectionists do not feel as confident as they did," it Is said in Democratic and mugwump "When Mr. Cleveland message uppeared, they were certaiu it would defeat linn or his party or both now they rhow There is a here, says tho New York Trcbu.ie. There is anxiety about tho welfare of the country and the prosperity of its industries. There is saiao anxiety lest tho Dcm.H ca! ie party should iu somo way double on its tracks n.rain, in part avoidhi-the issuo it hua ni.ide. There is Borne anxiety to have the is3 ao honesitly presented, without tho deoepiio.is to which Democrats and so-called tariff reformers habit ually resort.

But there is with Republicans a linn conviction that the issue, so presented, wid surely defeat t'ao party that accepts and approves the position of President Cleveland. It is the truth chat there has bo much evidence of weakening era Democratic members of Cougvosa who woi-o ii ugUt to favor protection. Some of them have yielded to party to passionate appeals for party Others have yielded to tho influence of patronage, have found it more convenient to hunt fat places for themselves and their frieuda than to breast tho torrent of Democratic tendency Uiv.v.rd free trade. That is a matter which ua ir constituents will settle. This weukaesa causes same uncertainty libout the of tho Mills bid in the House, it.

invoivos soma anxiety oa to tho welfare of the country, for industries would suffer eeverciy if siieh a bill shouid pass the House und 'uu into tho Senate, there to be debated for cntit'os. But there was no good rer.sou to expect Democratic members iu lar.e numbers to resist with groat sturuitiosa tho tendencies of their party, or tha influence of tho President's patronage. Some of them will vote against um'cruut features of a he pending Dili, it is now said, but feel bo and to support it finally, In whatever shimi it may be accepted by a Democratic caucus, us a necessary measure of parly policy. All weakness helps Republicans. Is shows tho country that a Democratic Representative can not bo trusted to serve his constituents faithfully in tho defense of homo industries, because tho necessities of his party, and tho force of party discipline, and tho seductions of party patronage, lire too powerful.

No such influence swerves a Republican from his obligation to constituents. Tho natural outcome will bo the support of Republicans by those Democratic voters who wish to defend their industries. Hay State lie publicans ou the Tariff. At their recent btate convention the Republicans of ilassachuseUs sp.lio in noua-certaia tones on tho tariff question, placing themselves on record aa opposing tho free-trade doctrine of Cleveland. Following is tho plault iu the plati'orra ou that subject Tho Republicans of Massachusetts uow, as always, demand that tho revenue of the Government shall bo so collected i i uf-ford protecuou to- United Slates and labor, and to preserve the to tho homo producer.

Vv'hiio they favor a proper revision of tho tariff, they oppose such revision as has for tho primary object the abandonment of tho proloetivo principle; and they claim tbc.t tho propositions tnado by the Democratic party through tho message of th; President and tho Mills bill, warrant tho opposition of every cithtou who prefers tho welfare of his country to that of anotnor. Tho itopublieou party devised methods of. securing tho revenue to curry on tho war, and when ouco the necessity was ended at onco begun to reduce that revenue both by tariff revision and by cutting off needless internal taxes. This reduction of roveuuo to current needs of tho Government tho Republican party will continue when iu power." Douver Tribune: It would bo a mistake to suppose that Mr. Blaino is entirely out of tho race for the Presidential nomination.
