Democratic

Fiora the Mew yoik vvoria. No sooner do thé Bepublicans bring forward a man for Goverr.or or any other important oflice than one íaction or other of the Republican party straightway makes him out either corrupt or dishonest. ís it possible that the Republican party has no man to present for Governor who will be conceded by hi3 own party to be incorruptible? Mr. Cornell waspushinghis canvass for a renomination, and seemed to be driving on, full sai], into port, when all of a sudden and without any apparent provccation the half-breed Albany Evening Journal carne out with a charge that as Governor he had listened to an offer of a bribe and did not resent it for more than a year. Not only did this charge go unchallenged, but it has since been admitted by the Governor himself that he afterwards sought out the eminent flnancial ogre in whose behalf tho bribe was said to have been offered and entreated that potentate to help mm estaDUsn a Dimu pooi in wan street, wkich blind turns out to have been a device to fleece the Governor's personal and political friends. Here is a pretty picture of a public man to be drawn by his alleged fiiends ! A. Governor of New York supposes himself to have been corruptly approached in behalf of Mr. Jay Gould. Not only i does he keep this interesting impression to.himself for months, but, inferring from it that Mr. Jay Gould rnight be inclined perliaps to do him a favor, he seeks Mr. Gould out and cntreats him to lend him the use of his name for the purpose of getting up a speculation, into which he theu pioceeds to seduce numbers of his own political and personal friends with intent, as it turns out, to cheat and plunder them as well as Mr. Gould ! But this is not all. The country is assured that before a year had rolled around this remarkable Governor advised Mr. Jay Gould, in whose interest it is charged the flrst bribe was offered, to employ the advocate accused of offering the flrst bribe to appear before him again on another measure, in connection with which the same half-breed authority avers that another bribe was offered and that Governor Cornell did not resent this either or say a word about it until he found that he was not securing the delegates. So mucli for Cornell. Next comes Congressman Wadsworth, who had barely begun to boom for Governor when the charge was made by Kupublicans that he drew doublé nav from July 26 to December 1, 1881 - one salary as Comptroller of the itate and the other as Congressman, alhough he was not elected to the latter place until November and did not re3eiye his certifícate until December. The Albany Evening Journal is the half-breed author of this charming sketch of Mr. Wadsworth. Now for Judge F ; lger. His can vass having fairly got under way, the Utica Herald, half-breed, savagely charges that he is a "bad mun," who made a corrupt record while in the Senate in 1868 on contest between the eider Vanderbilt and themember3 of the Erie railway while another half-breed at Auburn insinuates thathe has something ruinous to disclose about Mr. Folger's first election as Judge of the Court of Appeals. As soon as the W. A. Woods and the J. H. Starin booms assume sufficient proportions the villainies of these designing men will be duly revealed by the halfbreed papers and both of them shown to be as corrupt as Folger and Wadsworth are alleged to be and as Cornell has proved himself to be. No matter who may db noumiaww uy iuo ire[iuuucans this year, it is olear that the Democratie journals will have plenty of material f urnished by the Kepublican papers to show that the nominee is not üt to be Governor of the state. For the credit of New York it is to be hoped that the Republicans may ultimately find some Gubernatorial candidate who will do'c be arraigned by Republican journals as a fit candidate for the State prison. The congressional Norninations. The Detroit Free Press saya: The Democrats on Tuesday and Wednesday added three excellent nominations for Congress to the two first class ones which had already been made. First in point of time was that made iu the Tenth District, where Hon. Anürew C. Maxwell, of Bay, was made the candidate. Aa the Bay City Press says of him heisknown throughout all portions of the state. Although notiavorable to his election, it indorses him as a shrewd and able lawyer, an enterpiising citizen, aiways alive to the interest of Bay Oounty, who has been the prime mover in sorne of the most important public improvements there. It also speaks of him as a hard worker, and a shrewd one, and saya he will doubtless maíe a creditable run, and that with a weak and incapable man aeainst him there might be a show for his election. We cancandidly indorse all that Iho Press says oí trie personal qualifieations of Mr. Maxwell, who would make an admirable Representative in Congress. We can also add that Mr. Maxwell has an excellent chance of carrying the district. He knows it as thorougtaly as any man in that section, and has the great advantageof great personal popularity, while his opponent is notoriously the reverse of popular. In the Eighth District thero was a hearty co-operation of Demócrata and (ii-ppnbackera in the nomination of Charlea J. WiUett, of Gratiot, who tnows f rom experieuco what can be accomplished by a unión of all the elementa of oppositionto Republicanisru. He carried Gratiot Cuunty on the Fusión ticket, and a man who can do ttaat has good reason for believing that supported by the united opposition, ereat headway can be made in the district. If the unión f orces takehold of theeanvass in earnest in the Eightti District, they can make it uncomfortably warra for Mr. Ilorr. There is an opposition rnajority in the district, and i f the vote is brought out, as it ought to be, a victory can be gataThe opposition in tbe.Ninth Distrit have ilso made an admirable choioe. General Stephen Bronson, of Big Eapids, has a record as soldier and lian to be proud of. He will be enthusiastically supported at the polls, and receive a vote wbich will be a deserved tribute to bis wqrth. The district is Kepublican, but it is apparent that the oppositlon are determined to yield no ground without a stubborn contest. _
