The November Election in This State-A
Hold Stroka for TIA mnlanx


Bold Stroke for Tammany.
Every pleasant afternoon in midsummer in
| this latitude something new bursts forth either
in the lively face Of nature Or in the rubicund
countenances of the politicians. In one case it
may be a new brilliant in the sparkling crest
of the surf at Long Branch, in the other moro
crimson sign in the fgureheads of the Tam
many and Americus Club fish catchers and
chowder consumers.
Passing for the present the consideration
of the pickings and scratchings in the political
slate quarries in regard to the November
nominations for members of the lower branch
Of the Legislature the usual State oficers--a
Governor not being reckOned in the schedule
and also in regard to the local judgeships, the
members of the Can't Get Away or Get
an Office Club will recall to the attention of
the fortunate political pleasure seekers, who
are enjoying themselves so complacently and
so royalty, two or three important facts which
Tammany especially must take heed of, to
wit that the adoption or rejection of the new
constitution will be among the most vital
questions in the coming election. Second in
Importance comes the election Of two Judges
to the bench Of the Court of Appeals, and
thirdly the securing Of majority in the State
Senate. In regard to the proposed new con-
stitution, the people should be awakened to a
sense Of its startling provisions Some Of
these provisions, if adopted, will place the
State politically a decade in the rear instead
OF in advance of the commercial and social
progress of the age and of the worlds civilza-
ton. Some of these points we will in due
time afford time and space to discuss. In the
meantime the citizens Of the metropolis should
be careful that they are not made the victims
Of ''nigger in the fence" when they may be
least apprised or expectant of the interesting
fact. I'M regard to the Court Of Appeals there
are two new judges to be elected in the place
of the two retiring. # the democrats succeed
in electing their candidates they will secure a
majority in the highest legal tribunal in the
State--a tribunal in which all political as well
as legal questions are generally decided.
Hence there will he a big fight on this line Of
the Court of Appeals, which is likely to take

portant of the subjects involved in the ap-
preaching canvass is the securing by the de-
mocracy of the State Senate, which. like
majority on the bench Of the Court of Appeals,
will be convenient to have at hapd in case it
may be necessary to exercise little political
manGuvring in order to checkmate the en-
croaching and demoralizing operations OF the
radicals
Therefore, while n the ward and Assembly
districts the political potpourri is beginning
to be stirred in regard to minor matters, our
local politicians-the big Injuns of Tammany,
the merry cusses of Americas, the sly dogs Of
old Neptune, and 80 on-should not neglect |
while enjoying their summer rides and firta-
tons, their roast clans and their chowders, |
their cancans and their tin cans that at the !
next general election new constitution is to |
be voted upon. two new judges of the highest |
legal tribunal in the State to be elected, as we'll
as majority of only two to overcome in the
State Senate
