THE NOVEMBER ELECTION IN New YORK
STATE-Thc second Tuesday in Novem-
Der an election will be held in New York
for State officers, members of the Lcgisla-
turc and various judicial and county Off
GERS. In the December following, Il local
election will take place for Mayor and
Common Council AS the December con-
test is sure to be won by the Democracy,
it will not excite much interest. The
State election. however, which takes place
month earlier, will be hot, close and
bitter, and probably one Of the most cx-
citing ever held in Now York. A COR
respondent says:
The Democracy will go into the No
vember fight with more carncstncss and
vigor than they have brought to any
struggle since the Mcclellan and Lincoln
campaign of 1861. when they really car
red the State but were swindled out Of
their victory by the arrest of their agents
for the collection of the soldiers vote, and
the "confscation' of the votes which
these agents had collected. No such
scheme for their defeat can be adopted
this year. The soldiers are at homo, and
even if they were still in the field, there
is no-StantoD in the War Department to
seize Democratic votes and thrust collcc-
tors into prison. One reason why the
Democrats are hopeful and almost conf
dent, is the clear, plain issue created by
the bold step forward which the Prcsi-
dent has taken. This has Infused vigor
into the masses and given their purpose
moro earnestness than it had last year,
or the year before, when Mr.. Johnson's
real position was very hard to guess at.
Another is the fact that considerable
number of Germans, quite enough to turn
the scale, who arc indignant ut the inva-
sion of their rights which has taken place
under the stringent Sunday liquor law,
have resolved to turn their backs upon
Radicalism. If all the Germans who have
promised to vote against the Radicals
keep their word next November, the
State ought to go Democratic by ten or
fifteen thousand majority.
