With such independence Of party tyranny Judge Good

THE CONTEST IN THE BUFFALO DISTRICT.
The Liberal candidate for Congress in the

XXXIst District is the Hon. William Williams the
present member, who elected In 1870 by majority
Of only ST votes The district consists Of the County OF
Erie alone 1t has always beenIremarkaby close and 1t
has seldom been carried by the same party In two
cessive elections. The unstable character OF its politics
has been owing TO the large floating vote Of the City Of
Buffalo which has heretofore been controlled by the
party which made the most exertlonsl and spent the
most money. This vote Is foatngin literal well
political sense being made up chiefly Of sailors and
boatmen on the canal. The Administration party Is
making great efforts 20 beat Mr.. Williams and will
doubtedy buy many votes !as purchasable. The
result cannot be predicted but trust that the Liberal
Republican element In the district is strong enough 20
carry Mr. Williams through safely II all the floating
Is thrown against him. He has made a faithful Repre-
sentative ana ought not to be defeated.

adopted as the Platform of the party
the Republican Cincinnati Platform.
We thus have new national party
formed by a union of a large major
ity Of the democracy with the CON
seryatiye republicans, and the party
may be properly named The Demo

The Suaight-Out Democrats as
sembled at Baltimore-the hard
shells of the old faith-haye called a
Convention to meet in Louisville in
September to nominate democratic
candidates. If this is done, Grants
election is secured, and the man can
not be wise, however devoted to dead
issues, who will thus destroy the
hopes Of the friends of Constitution
al Government and lend his in
huence to the organization of a Mill
tary Empire. That is the only issue
and we can't help it and we can't
