New YORK, October 6, 1875.
The back down of the Democracy in this
State ON the inf alton issue, end the select
ing of Democratic candidates from the
ranks of the Liberal Republicans, has pro-
duced its natural crop Of discord. The
Democratic leaders begin to see at last that
the progress Of the age, as we'll as the
country, has advanced beyond the Issues
which once formed the stock.in-trade of
American Democracy. Intelligent people
are no longer satisfied with policy which
begins and ends with hate of the negro,
Southern sectionalism and the wooipg of
the Irish vote. 1t lie, therefore, plain that
the Democracy must back down still more,
and make still greater concessions to pub
| lie sentiment, in order to secure possession
of power. And when the eagerly coveted
power is thus secured, who is to WELD it,
and to what reorganization of parties may
not such Democratic victory thus achiev
ed lead. THIS is an important question tor
all men of all parties.
