nrnocRATIc SUCCESS.

The election for Judges occurred IN
New York on the 18th Of this month, and
the returns show Democratic majority
that is overwhelming to the opposition.
The two great parties had each their
respective tickets in the field, which
aror,ed considerable interestin the final
result of the canvass. Nothing was said
against electing Judges nominated by
partisan conventions, as it was the
universal practice of both parties all over
the State 70 make such nominations.
An over-sensitive feeling did not seize
hold OF the politicians of that State, as it
Is wont 10 do with some 10 this, who
Oppose conventions to nominate Judges.
A sqnare political Eight was made, and
the result shows that Church, the Demo
cratic nominee for Judge Of the Court OF
Apueals. was elected by majority Of
oyer 6ify thousand votes The City Of
New York itselfturned ont sixty thousand
for the ticket, and that, too. when the me-
rroes had almost free access 10 the polls.
Our Radical opponents are not in good
humor over the final result Of this cleo
ton. and are already charging fraud
upon those whose duty it was 70 hold IT.
The New York Sun says 1.-THE system
of repeating and ballot1box gtptiing was
carried ont on a scale even more extern
sive than ever. In one of the wards
about eleven hundred negroes we're reg
istered, but when the newly enfran-
ehised came TO the ballot-boxes the
white repeaters had voted upon
nearly FIVE hundred OF their names
Such statement as this looks q little
improbable, since it would be impossible
for white Democrat TO palm himself
on the inspectors Of election as black
Ethiopian Radical The two cannot be
made 10 resemble each other 10 the
slightest regard and ofcourse we don't be-
Heye the statement at all probable We
give this merely to show what meager
excuse the Radicals are falling back on,
in endeavcrjng to break their dreadfaI fall
New York hiss set us an example in the
matter of electiug Judges which would
be well for our guidance 10 the contest
coming on in this State. We shoala our
selves be able 10 concentrate our whole
strength upon State judicial ticket,
which cannot be done unless the party
will meet IN eonsention and consent TO
support certain candidates. Il is neces-
sary now that the greatest caution should
be observed.by the friends of good gov
eminent, in order to defeat the corrupt
purposes aud the bad men ofthe Radical
party. Our sister State alluded 70 has
secured for herself an incorruptible
bench, which is one Of the greatest bless
