The nature of this weight upon the Democracy 10
plainly sppsron, in the Now Jersey election. Tbs
party tbsrs had every advantage in resps-t TO
preltig-, yet they suffered q total defeat The
long records Of Demol rate triumpAi,she hand'oms

th., the party could present, could NJ, buoy up
such platform IS that upon which they embark
al, and hence the R,pubh an waves have swept
over II. Tnorotore we do not regard The Demo
srstc defeat on Tuesday as pnbllc re ute to the
rank and file OF the party. Il was simply an a.
monitor to the leaders hat tie public demand .
purihe.nou OF the party rom the tsins and the
odum that attach 10 IL b. reason OF its political
