most Of it. About every fourth year such

usually relax their vigilance, and permit
the Democracy to enter the field as CLEAN.
ers and scoop up what the regular reap
ers have left. 1atterly. however. New
York and Pennsylvania have closed their
gates against the mendicants. and denied
to them the poor privilege Of coming in
for the leavings. Ohio, Connecticut. CAL
ifornia, and perhaps Oregon. on the con.
trary show disposition to keep up the
old custom, and the hopes Of the Democ.
racy have risen to the quadrepnial spring
tide. The New York World prints the
figures indicating Democratic majorities
in full face type, with admiration points
after them, and sings gleeful song col.
umn and half in length. The gallant
Buckeye State is complimented with full
some praise. The one hundred thousand
Vallandigham defeat is forgotten, or at
least forgiven. This little affair. by which
William Allen has received possibly from
eight hundred to one thousand majority, /,
is claimed as another turn in the tide,
