TIE NEW YORK ELECTION.


We said yesterday that the result Of the late cleo
ton in New York proved conclusivey to our mind,
the necessity Of selecting, the candidate Of the De-
mocrac party for the next Presidency that man on
y that unite the entire vote Of the party east and
west, north and south.
The necessity for such n course must be apparen Mt
TO every intelligent reader who will carefully exam
inc the state OF the vote IN the several counties from
which returns have been received. Though the De-
mocratic party will probably have a majority in the
next Legislature, the popular maores in the seve
raj counties have been materially reduced since
the last election. In Columbia county where Mr.
Van Buren, himself resides the mai ority Of 900 given
TO Bouck for Governor in 1912, has been reduced TO
800 And similar change is observable in most Of
the counties throughout the State. This, we think,
has been caused to great extent, by the abuse and
prescription Of that portion Of the Democratic party
who sustain the Administration Of President Tyler
The overwhelming victory at the Gubernatorial
election in 1912, mainly attributable to the We
toes OF President Tyler, and the warm encomiums
bestowed upon him for his patriotism and indepen-
deuce b. the Democratic press throughout the Union.
But though the President saved the country from the
apprehended consequences Of the defeat in 1870
though he has since done all in his power that Pre-
sident could with propreiy do TO the success
of the Democratic pariy-though his Democratic
friends have repeatedly and unequyocally intimated
their desire to conform TO all the usages Of the party
yet has the recognized organ Of that party continued
to assail him. and to denounce his friend. as rene

that our sTRossrsv man should be nominated.
! The suggestion of the Sentinel in relation TO

worthy Of profound consideration. We uus
