Tlio candidacy of llonry George for the mayoralty of New York is a matter of profound interest, not to New York city and state only, hut to tlio whole nation. It is the lirst instance in the history of tlie nation of a labor ticket, pure and simple, upon a large scale. It is a deliberate and carefully planned ef fort of wage workers to enter into Amer ican polities as a distinct and separate party, upon a platform of principles which they believe, if carried out, would redress their general wrongs and greatly better th'dr general condition. Whether right or wrong, their movement promises to he at least temporarily formidable, and is attracting profound attention from t his country, and, indeed, from the whole civilized world. Their last public meet ing (Friday night), held in ('bickering hall to endorse the nomination of Henry George for mayor, was an immense and enthusiastic gathering. Under the circumstances an inquiry into the personal views of Mr. Georgo, which have led to his preferment, by the laboring class, would bo of inter est, but we w ill lirst notethc surrounding political situation. The republicans w ill nominate this week a straight ticket. The prohibitionists already have their candidate, Mr. Wardwell, in the field, and are vigorously pressing him. The question then is, what will the demo crats do? If Tammany and the County Democracy wove to unite upon one can didate they could in all probability elect him, but the prospects of such a union are not flattering. The County Democracy declare their intention to renominate Mayor Grace, which would precludeany union. Upon the other hand, Tammany talks of in dorsing Mr. George. The fact is. the great mass of the working men, he they Knights of Labor or trades unionists, are democrats; therefore, if a candidate is run against George, a fatal division of democratic strength will result in placing a republican in the mayor's chair. On the other hand, if they unite on < ieorge, his election is reasonably assured. Hut will George consent to a pro rata distri bution of the patronage? Ifj he assents, Tammany will ac cept him without further ado, but should he decline to make any prom ises or pledges, the old foxes are afraid when the election is over they might dis cover that they hud only been pulling somebody’s chestnuts out of the fire. There has never been a question as to either the ability or the personal charac ter of Mr. George, hut many gravely doubt his possession of the executive ability required for so important an otlice as the mayoralty of the great city of New York. That is a ques tion, however, which a practical test alone can decide, but the political , and social views which have led to his present prominence may easily he grasp- | ed. After a career us printer, sailor, clerk, printer again, and then editor, Mr. George lirst commanded attention by the publication of his work in IS77, entitled “Progress and Poverty,” and his fame was much more enhanced by the issu ance early in the present year of his far abler volume on “Protection or Free Trade.” He entertains and promulgates some peculiar socialistic views as to the ownership and treatment of land, lie is very pronounced and emphatic for free trade. On this point he holds that the incoming of the products of cheap labor is a very different thing from the incoming of cheap laborers. That the free importation of Chinese commodities would not in the slightest affect wages; but under our present condition the free immigration of Chinese laborers would lessen wages. He says that the indus tries which our tariff aims to protect are those in which the mere workmen are helpless—those which cannot be carried on without large establishments, costly machinery and great amounts of capital. The Cincinnati Enquirer says of Mr. George "that his free trade views may not make him mayor of New York, but ho could very readily go to congress upon them, and that if in the house of representatives he would drop Ins socialistic vagaries mid confine him self to the tariff question, the land would soon be too small to hold his fame; and labor, relieved of its terrible burden of taxation, would hail him as a universal benefactor. We have devoted this much ol our editorial space to a notice of Mr. George, not only because he is now crea- ting, but in future is likely to create no small stir in American polities. Illfi HAM'S DURKIN. Mr. Jere Dennis is the editor of tie Dadeville (Ala.) Democrat, one of the liveliest little sheets that comes to thi office. Jere seems to have just assume'; entire control of the Dadeville Demo crat, and lie isn't particular about who knows it. He lias a breezy way of firing off his little gems of thought tlud smacks of the free and unturned wesi. But tlio very uniqueness of his style makes it attractive. His peculiar sty!, can lie compared to nothing but a subtb blending of a comic commencement speech with one of the psalms of David. A man is hard to please who reads one of Jere’s editorials and is not pleased at any sentiment in it; and a man is hard to strike who reads one of his articles through and is not struck by anything in it. One of his editorials is a medley of vengeance mid devotion and dancing, and kneeling and whistling and weeping. Between the lines of one paragraph we can almost read— “Hark i from tlio tomb a doleful sound,” while between the lines of the next bub bles up the rippling refrain— “Oh 1 Jimmie is your ash cake done?” But to be appreciated Jere must be heard. He grows on you. He is first endured, then admired, then embraced. When it comes to building a four-story editorial with a lire-placo in every room and a bull dog in the front yard, Jere is the man to send for, whether the doctor is at home or not. The following is bis lead ing editorial in n recent issue. It is his Jeremiad, so to speak. Hut we want h> lift the curtain and let the reader see Jere, red breeches and all. Here is the editorial ; “Ah high as the heights, as deep as the depths, under ray management the Dadeville* Democrat shall bo as the stone cut out of the mountain— the farther it rolls under the management of .lore Dennis the more power will it gather, until it breaks and crushes everything before it. Right in the heart of Dadeville I have planted my colors, and above Dadeville’s citadel they shall forever and forever triumph antly wave. My board does not cost me anything, I now do my own editing and set ray own type ; expenses, therefore, are nominal. I live here with my father, and with these advantages, lean edit and run a newspaper on foO a month less money than anybody else in town. I am here to stay. Me and my newspaper business is a per manent fixture of the town, and the people may just as well to begin to regard it that way. My paper always lias been and always will be better than any that can be started up here to dowu me. I make no exceptions, and I throw down the challenge to all comers. When the new set of county officers take their seat, I em phatically believe that they will act like men, and I therefore do not entertain any fears whatever of being mistreated by them in regard to the county printing and courthouse work. Thanking the people for the generous support and warm words of encouragement they have so lavishly bestowed upon me in the past, and hoping that 1 will always receive and merit a continuance of the same, 1 am as over “Their friend, Juki: Dennis." There is something so original and catching in a man who signs an editorial, like it was a promissory note, and who signs it “their friend,” instead of ‘ your friend,” that we feel like if we had time and could make the necessary preparation for carrying mi such a Imsinc.'S, we would like to invest our all, besides what sur plus easli we could borrow, in an dibi t to know more of this editor. There is something so fresh about him that we “long to be there too.” Jere’s language is truly thrilling, especially where lie saddles up ihe following mustang meta phor and rides it down the lane: “Bight in the heart of Dadeville 1 have planted my colors ami above Dudevillc’s citadel they shall forever and forever trium phantly wave.” This is a had time of year to be planting colors, and if .lere doesn’t iiiiiid Ids ignorance of this department of agricul ture will make hint no longer solid among the fanners. Colors are not raised by planting. Colors arc horn. A color bearer is wlmt .lere wants. But his appeal to the county olticers leaves them no alternative but to patronize his paper, tie is bound to reap a harvest of ollieial advertising. Still, as a pointer for Jere, we would fain remind him that a little free whisky and judicious pulling carefully pktntcd about the court house grounds might bear more fruit in due season, than all the colors of the rainbow planted in the rich est soil on earth. You can't depend on a color after it isplanlod; the chick ens may scratch it up and eat it, and the caterpillar might roost in its swaying branches and then emigrate, leaving the branches denuded. But this little crop of fun. rum and puffs set out in rows like asparagus about the court house door, will bear in spite of unfavorable seasons. Jere, do you tumble? Again Jere lias the underhold on tlio average editor in tlio fact that he boards with his father. This living with one’s father is a racket that every editor should play for all it is worth. It is a blessing that may fade at any moment. “ Blessings brighten as they fade.” But Jere, now that you have managed to begin living with your father, just resolve in the su premacy of your manhood never to re turn to the beggarly elements of tlio world and its $30 a month for board. If you should need any help; if you should require somebody to assist you to live with your father, Jere, just drop us a postal. Although a stranger to you we can furnish certificates stating in unqual ified terms that we understand the busi ness thoroughly in all its brandies. It would be nothing new to us, and we might be able to give you some points in spite of your long experience. When it comes to living with a father, Jere, we acknowledge no superior, hav ing followed the business with much en thusiasm for a number of years. You see, n man must get up enthusiasm in a business in order to succeed. Jere is bound to make a success of the Democrat, being so situated as to defy competition. We Hail his re-advent into journalism witli a shout of welcome, which will lie delivered on application by the authorized parties. The Dadeville Democrat is ever welcome to our sanctum, and since getting this charming insight of the editor’s private life through his own pen, the paper will be more attractive to us than ever. We are betting on Jere and he is bet ting on his father. If the old man can just hold up now, we’ve got a dead sure thing of it. Brace him, Jere, brace him; mid drop us the postal before the cold weather sets in. A iter receiving the pos tal, it can lie said of the entire Dennis family that we are “Tiimit Eiiined.” Mr. Powdbiu.v “recognizes no dis tinction of creed, nationality or color.” Is lie color-blind? Does he repudiate the old adage that a man is to be judged by the company lie keeps? When a man undertakes to make alike that which the Creator Inis made unlike, then ho is but seeking to remodel the works of nature and nature’s God. This world is better to live on as it is than it would lie if all the trees were ofthesame size and height, all the races of men alike, all the dog- of the same species and all the women made after one pat tern. Tlie Creator knew what lie was about when he introduced variety into this world. No i'.uitv can long maintain itself on a basis of gaugers, tide-waiters, postmas ters and other olliciaD. The democratic party lost tlie presidency while in con trol of all tHe ollices and regained it while destitute of any. The republicans came into power in spite of the bread and butter brigade, and went, out not withstanding the frantic efforts of the same force organized on their side. To live and rule a party needs principles and the honesty of them, and a policy, with tlie ability to give it effect. A l Aiu.M dispatch brings the news of the execution by guillotine in the city of Paris on tlie 1th inst. of 200 criminals who employed the last moments of their lives in blaspheming the president of the republic. Town elections in Connecticut show in many cases large gains for tlie demo crats, th* republicans losing their hold entirely in some places. Ex-Judcie Robert S. Green accepted the nomination of the democratic state convention of New Jersey for governor. The first punishments for selling bogus butter were administered in Cincinnati.
