THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

New York, the strong citadel, the
magazine of supplies and base of op
perations OF the democratic party for
the Presidential succession, is lost and
turned against them. What are they
going to do about it? What can they
do? Their new departure" has proved
snare and delusion, and Tammany
has fought their battle of Sedan. Gen
eral Grant looms up into holder relief
than ever as master of the political
field, and Mr.. Greeley as subsoil Pres
idential candidate becomes almost in
visible TO the naked eye. There is,
from present indications, hard y the
ghost of a chance for the democratic
party next year. They are an army
without generals and generals without
an army. Routed and demoralized in
the North they are divided in the
South. With nothing but the Cover
nor of New jersey to swear by in the
East, they have hardly local habita-
ton or name in the Great West
Their perplexed leaders are debating
still another new oeparture-the get
ting mp an independent republican
Presidential ticket and the concentra-
ton of the whole democratic party,
with all the loose materials Of the
country, in It's support.
This is not bad idea. Indeed II
is a pretty good idea, only it involves
the disbanding and dissolution of the
democratic party. And why not? 1t
has evidently run its race on its old
organization, and the republican party,
too, is closing up its accounts. After
the reelection Of General Grant this
republican party will fall to pieces and
a reorganization of parties will follow.
The best course, then, for the demo
Gratis is, perhaps, to run themselves
republican ticket in 1872. Then we
shall be all republicans and all demo
Gratis as in 1924. With the final dis
solution OF the old anti-war, federal
party, the people became all republi-
cans and all federalists. To that start
i"g point we shall come again, with the
political cycle now nearly completed,
and this revolutionary New York cleo
ton will serve to hurry up the work.

REDUCTION OF TAXES.

There appears to be such a general
demand from all parts Of the country
for reduction of taxes that 1t is likely
many changes will be made soon after

There being a great diversity of opin-
ion amoug the members as to what
mod Gcations are required, that 1t may

result, but that the present taxation
viii be greatly reduced, admits of but
little doubt. It is announced that the
Sec etary .of Treasury will recommend
in his annual report a repeal of the Gu

the bestinterest Of the country demand.
All the reduction that can be made
without detriment to the finances Of the

ty Of 457. We propose being satisfied
with the result ia the county, and Oh
the whole, our Republican friends did
tolerably well. The result, however, on
County Superintendent and for Assem-
blyman in the 2nd District is far from
being satisfactory. Had The Republicans
who voted for Craig cast their ball is
for Collier the latter would have been
elected, The same thin1 is trae of Mr.
Mead had he received the support of
his party the 2nd Assembly District
would have had Republican member.
The course pursued by Republicans
in these two cases was uncalled for, and
no reasonable excuse can be given for
their conduct. Both Mr.. C,'llier and
Mr.. Mead were unexeepticnable candl-
dates in every respect, and that they
would have creditably filed the positions
to which they were nominated, no ono
denies. The handsome home endorse
ment these gentlemen received showed
cinclusively how they both stood W here
best known, and why the candidates
Of the opposite party, good men we ad-
nit, should have been preferred is a
queer freak Of political nature, to say
the least. This is not the 6r-t time in
the political history of Jefferson county
where Republican candidates have been
sacrificed through the inadvertency and
open opposition of men Of the same po-
htical faith. IF the Republicans of
Jefferson county ever expect to meet
with success they must learn to act
with more harmony, and be willing to
give their candidates warm and gen
erous support. especially wi en- the men
placed in nomination are worthy Of en-
dcrsement, not only on account of per-
sonal fitness, but as representing the
the true political sentiments Of their
party.

Flowing should be done before the

If the advice of Mr.. Greeley, to "plow

colated by the fertiliziug influences of the
rain and atmosphere containing the gases
