Show The " TiuiPN" NonrnN for Ihnrles rnncin Aiimus. New York, 7. The Times editorial, i Xho democratic convention of Massachusetts Mass-achusetts wis more docile to Tilcleu's instruction yesterday than managers in this state have been; it is probably because there was less sacrifice required. re-quired. In tho nomination of Adams we have another of tlie tricks of this tricky democratic campaign one more showy and plausible than some of tho others; but no lees a trick. There is no expectation that the dem ocrats can elect a govornor in the present year in Massachusetts; if thero were Adams could not have been nominated any moro than Dor-sheimer Dor-sheimer couid be named at Saratoga, or Wells at Hartford. But if Adams is willing to lend bis name to tho general cause ot Tilden and humbug.thc democrats are ready to accept the loau. It was admitted iu tho convention yesterday that the purpose of tho nomination was to strengthen tho ticket headed by Tilden. Til-den. We presume the desired efiect will be to some exlonl obtained in Massachusetts. The democrats will swallow the doBO for tho sake of the cause, and boiiio few republicans will support Adams, but in the country at largo we affirm that it will be regarded regard-ed ub a beautiful sacrifice of a great name to an unworthy end. Wo regret re-gret that we see no reason to suppose but thit Mr. Adams will accept the democratic nomination, not that it can make any appreciable dilfcrenco in the result, but because we dislike to urn n nump that hn hitherto been pre-eminently associated with those of Sumner, Wilson and Lincoln, pass out ot men's memories linked with tho name of the most contemptible political charlatan of our age. |
