NAMING HOPES.

The democracy is not quite as sure as II
was. 1t has been some weeks since the
November avalanche, and the idea begins
to dawn upon their minds that the dear
people have not quite all entered into the
democratic camp. They see that it may
be possible, even probable, that the "tidal
wave" was not so much intended to carry
democrats into office, as to carry repuoli-
can dead weights out office. This object
having been accomplished, Chandler, But
Ter, Ramsay, Plat and others of like heavy
weight having been landed On tie dry
shores of salt river; they see the waves re-
ceding and the political waters resuming
their wonted courses, and they begin to
past, through republican channels, and
that at its next ebb the opposition will re-
main on the shores where they have been
SO many times stranded. Even the Troy
Press. which was so sure of revivlfied
democracy, and could say that "if an OPP
position candidate is not elected one year
from next fall to the presidential chair,
there is no use of trusting to experience in
any thing" has been compelled to draw in
its horns, and now it does not think that
that kind of experience amounts TO any
thing anyway. 1t is altogether another
kind of experience that troubles the Press
now It can but recall the democratic
triumph of 1862, how short lived it was,
aud the cause of the early blight of its bud
ding promise. 1t fears it will be so now.
The Pres, for once is pretty near right
1t sorrowingly recalls the campaign of
last fall. and sadly thinks over the great
prominence given to Eat gittering gen
crafty "home rule 1t remembers how
iubilant Tammany was over this plank,
and how many ho;'c rules were manutac-
tuud for election day. 1t forgets not that
these hone rulers assured a democratic tri-
umph iu New York city, and it CRASHES
its teeth at Tammany's exposition of this
home rule pledge. 1t sees Fitz John Por
ter, Esquire, late general but now cash
tered into a simple Mr. or plain les
quire," imported from New Jersey an,
placed, as home ruler, in one of the mos
lucrative offices n the gift of Tammany
After viewing the picture of the promls
and contrasting it with that other picture o
fulflment, 1t fears that other blunders al
in store for the faithful. Hear it IAN
''other grave blunder Is likely to tax
place in the election of speaker of til
''house of representatives. 1t will be we
''tor our leaders to recognize at once til
"f,ct which is patent to the undering'
''lhat the democratic party is not yet 'or
'.of the wood and few more grave blur
''ders will lose it the next presidency. A
ready the outlook is not nearly so goo
las it was three months ago" True, O
Press, the ''outlook is not nearly so GOO
us it was three months ago. Within Thu
time the republican party has corrected mar
OF the mistakes of the past. Within tn
time, they have demonstrated that thu
have only conciliatory policy to pnrsl
toward the south. Within that time Il
democracy have shown how ready and W
ling they are to obs.ruct the due course
legislation. The people see this, and a
not yet prepared to entrust the democrat
with power. Within that time, the Pre-
has heard from New Hampshire, and Il
"outlook" is not good in its eyes.
