' A, M, Smith, Democratic candidate for the mayoralty of Astoria: ac knowledged political boss, of that persuasion, of the said city; other wise an airound good fellow) has run his little bluff on the Morning Astorian in th shape of a written threat to sue the whole outfit unless it abates its policy and handles him wiih more circumspection and con consideration. He avers that the As torian has assailed his private char acter, and professional standing and, in various and sundry ways, invaded the sancity of his inner and unim peachable sphere of life and action. Afljtf Y J Astorian denies cheerfully, and flatly... ;. c, That it has, (and shall continue to) touch tipon his political aspirations and1 career dufii!g tlii pending cam paign jn this city, goes without say ing; - it denies nothing in this rela ticv and intends, to say more.. As a leading . politician,, an admitted can didate, and - presumptive "boss," of his. party he is plain game for pub lic discussion , and no one knows it better than he. His private status does not enter, and has not entered, into this matter by so ; much as an allusit n; and his letter of threat, on file in this office, must be construed in the light of a "baby-act" until it finds tetter substance in the courts, wherein the Morning Astorian and all its people, with a borde of others, are perfectly willig to appear, upon the proper summons. ,.'. - A. M. Smith may not absolve him self ircm the charges of political per fidy raised by the Astorian, and hun dreds cf citizens, in his relation to and conduct of the late bogus con vention dubbed "Citizens," but which was nothing more or less .""than a Democratic trick and trap, engineer ed and governed with that intent and to that end; a gross repetition of several . other r conventions of ,the same identical sort in which, and with which, he has figured, always with greater or lesser authority, howsoever he came by it. ?! ,.;4 The Morning Astorian is the ac knowledged Republican organ of this city; a newspaper wifh a reputation as honorable and as valuable as Mr. Smith's own; and if a legal balance is to be struck on such an issue, we are quite amenable, even "if it begins todjiy. Neither Mr. Smith nor his 1 friends must make any mistake on Ibis score. As such organ and news paper the Astorian will continue to give the news, construe the news, and discuss the people, behind that news, in such' manner as it deems ap plicable and just and within the pro vince of a public journal, he, and his constituency to ' the coritfary-nbt-withstanding. When a man is too thin-skinned to bear the pressure of public, criti" cal comment it, isime he. retired from the range of that criticism; get out of the glare and renouhce'his In terest and part in the fight he him self has precipitated and champion ed; else he will suffer more than mor tal can endure. There is an element of the sardonic in Mr. Smith's com plaint and protest,; .verging sharply on the ridiculous, and it will not sur prise us if in the early days to come, Mr. Smith himself will laugh at it. But be that as it may; laugh, or threat, or fight, we are in this poli tical campaign to stay, and no end to the ammunition necessary to car ry, it on as we have planned it. ... -There is open and wide revolt ' tion'sts possess that has nerve and courage to fight for .them. There is absolutely nothing personal nor pol itical Jn its battle; it is a popular one, nd must prove so before it is fought out; that battle is on; it has laid aside its conscience for the occasion, and will deal coldly and calculatingly, but with exact justice, t the very end; just as it has done in the past; and those who do not like its course and policy may make the most of it, in court and out of It. The Morning Astorian is not with out its sense of what it fit and proper and timely, of its own limita- ions under the law, of its public and private duties, of its relation to the community and that community's in eger; nor will it shrink, or override, m afly of the premises; particularly when it is sought to be bluffed into silence upon public matter! and is sues and men in public engagement, and by the arch leader of that en gagement for the opposition.

Another, love story is added by a fun-loving Irishman In love with a spinster who docs not care to acknowledge her span of life. This furnishes much comedy as Snowball,'' a colored gent, except when the excessive laughter evoked brings them to cool cheeks aflame from risible exertion. All this and more has been true of the ap pcarance ojf "Ma' New Husband" in other cities, and theatre-goers here will have an opportunity to judge for themselves, when the play will be presented on November 4, at the As toria Theatre.
