TAMJl HAND. After 4cool consideration" the Buffalo Courier is disposed to think that Gov. Cleveland erred, both as n governor and as a Democratic leader" in throwing down the gauntlet to Tammany in the way In did. The Courier is one of the ftouiHlet of the New York Demo cratic paper, and, moreover, is tho pajH-r which first named Cleveland for the governorship, and urged his nomination upon the Demo cratic convention. Its views arc therefore entitled to rniuch weight. Yet we cannot help thinking that nt the wortd the governor but has tened a rupture that was sure to come futoner or later, and in all probability in time to sTiouly em barrass the Demociatic party In the great contest of next year, liie Democratic uirty has been defeat ed time and again by taking this treacherous and corrupt ally Into its confidence. Can its open enmi ty bo any more harmful t This matter is of great interest to the Democracy of the whole conutry, which is our only and sufficient excuse for meddling with it at all. The odor of Tammany hall has per mealed every State of the Union and in every one of them votes bavo been withheld from the Dem ocratic party on account of it Let it be once clearly understood that the Democracy ot New York have cut clear from Tammany as a mat ter of principle, and that the Re publican leaders have formed an alliance with it, as a matter of spoils, and we shall have no solici tude as to where the voters are to come from to place the Democratic party in that position which it has been striving to reach since Abra ham Lincoln first entered the White Douse at Washington.
