The New York Horld gives up hope that the
Liberal movement will amount to enough to
help the Democracy materially, and consoles it.
self with the reflection that, anyhow, the He
publican party will go to pieces the year after
Gen. Grant is reelected.
Eleve. names have thus far been presented ss
candidates for United States Senator in New
