Great Democratic Victory.

UANNS ASOAAVNASSAS ASNOAJs
There was an election in the State of
New York last week for Judges, which
resulted in an overwhelming Democrat
iC victory. To show how it was done,
read this, which is dispatch to the
Cincinnati Gazette:
New York. May II.
The charter election to-day was very
tame. There were no fights OF impor-
tance, and no attempt at disturbance.
Many illegal votes were cast, and it is
generally believed that the frauds
have been greater than at any other
election for FIVE years. The repeaters
were very active, and won the praise of
their employers. In several wards all
the negroes who had registered found
that Jealous Democrats had voted on
their names. Several negroes were ar.
rested for attempting to vote on names
that had been checked, but were dis
charged on showing that the fraud was
the other way. Several repeaters were
arrested, and FIVE of them are held on
the charge of felony. In many cases
the Inspectors of Election refused to
order arrests, aud the police would not
obey any one else. Tammany was quite
as successful as it expected to be, aud
has full control OF the prominent Offices.
The negro votes were almost entirely
Republican, but the number cast was
smaller than expected.
And the next day the following dis
patch appeared in the Gazette:
New YoRK, May Is,

yesterday were released on bail. They
were to appear at the Court of General
Sessions to-day, but during the night
their bail bonds disappeared mysterious.

the greatest for several years,
The Tribune is terribly bitter and sar-

You would think that men as voters
had brought the suffrage question to
perfection, practically, and it is pre-
sumption to talk about improving the
matter. But read the following, and
sec what the men have done, aud are
doing, under the thirty years teaching

from the Tribune entire, as follows:
