And earth it's many, many lips ana
That have grow n white with woe.
And it hath hearts, whose pulses beat
A faint and sad refrain;
And longing eyes who watch fer friends
Who will not come again.
The Splendid Triumph in the Empire
State-Its Grand Completeness and
Significance. .A
The glorious result o the New York
election, the 18th inst is harbinger of
the most gratifying character and brilliant
promise. The circumstances are SO pc.
culiar, and inspire such grand hopes for
the future that the subject becomes one of
extraordinary interest.
In 1867 the Democratic State ticket vas
elected in New York, but it included only
rt Of the State officers, and the Legisla-
ks was republican. In 1868 the Demo-
csatic State ticket, including the Governor,
was elected, making lull list Of Demo-
cratic State officers, but republican Leg
islature was again chosen. In 1869, for
the first time in seventeen years, there
was a complete Democratic victory, State
officers, Judges and Legislature Of that
party being chosen throughout, and p'ac-
ing the State administration, in all it's
branches, executive, legislative and judi
cial, under the control of the Democratic
party.
The Democratic party then went upon
trial before the people of the State. Dur
ing long years of radical rule, the most
fragrant corruption had reveled in the
State administration the Legislature was
acknowledged to be the most corrupt Lex
islative body in existence, with the excep'
ton of the radical Congress, and the
radical legislatures of some other States
which rivaled it in that respect. The de-
mand for reform was loud and command
ing, and to the work of reform the Demo
cratic party addressed its labors. Legis-
lation once again sought pure channels
bribery and corruption were banished
from the halls of the State capitol, and
the administration honestly conducted its
affairs. No charge even of corruption
was brosght against the Legislature except
in one single proceeding connected with
new charter for New York city and
this was SO feebly sustained and evidently
SO unfounded, that it fell by its own
weight. 1t was abandoned by its authors,
and the Legislature adjourned and went
home, with the reward of popular ap'
proval and confidence which had not been
forfeited, but were fairly earned by an
honest, faithful discharge of dnty, and a
hearty devotion to the work of reform.
The two parties then went before the
people with their candidates for Judges ol
the highest court in the State. They
placed their very best men in nomination
the candidates of both parties were their
acknowledged leaders and representatives
The Democratic party placed itself upon
its record in the State, and upon a plat
form in regard to national affairs that in
cluded low revenue tariff, the restsra'
ton of all the States under the constitu'
tion, and reform in national legislation
The republican party in its platform
denouppcd tho Democratic State admins,
traitor, and sndSned that of GRANT
including the rslicil reconstruction and
doctrines in all the pending party issues
Upon the canvass thus made up, the
two parties went before the people; and
the result is summed up in the briei
announcement of SEVENTY THOUSAND
DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY.
This triumph is complete. It is th'
calm, deliberate, intelligent verdict of the
people of the most populous, mos
enlightened and wealthiest State in tn,
Union, upon the issues between the twt
parties. 1t is the prelude, grand ant
glorious, to the elections in the variou
States which are to transpire the presen
year and it is the promise Of Demo
cratic House of Representatives now Il
be chosen, and the peaceful, welcom,
revolution that will place all the branches
Of the national government in the hand
of the Democrats party in 1872. 2.-&
