THE STATE ELECTIONS.
The result of the elections held in
States OF Tuesday the ID inst,
was not so disastrous to the Demo
cracy as the first reports indicated,
and from an impartial review, the
outlook for the election of a Demo-
cratic President is very hopeful.
The issue is now fairly made between
Labor and Capital, and if the South
and West will stand united, we feel
confident of success. The New Eng
land Bullionists, Bondholders and
Bankers have ruled the policy of the
Government long enough in their
exclusive interest, and To the preju-
dice of Labor. They are a monied
aristocracy and therefore feel but
little or nc interest in the welfare of
the great laboring masses of the
South and West. The issue between
Capital and Labor and between them
and us, is now plainly defined, and
in the result depends the Presiden-
tial election. GRANT will be the
nominee of the money power, for
they know their man, and with a
western man running on a liberal
financial platform we can defeat
him, for as contraction goes on and
the peoples currency is retired,
the Industrious pursuits will become
more and more depressed, and as
this takes place many liberal Re
publicans, feeling the iron grip OF
the money power, will break ranks
with their party and rally to the
support of the peoples candidate,
Either this will take place, or the
Government, to the disgrace of man.
kind, will practically pass into 6
limited monarchy.
The result of these elections may
be summarized about as follows.
In New York the Democrats cleo

State, by from $4,000 to 10000, bu.
the Republicans ecure the Stat

gardcd as a Democratic State with
policy not in the interest of the Wal
street gold mongers.
The Republicans make a clear
sweep in Pennsylvania, electIng Hair

1000. We are not disappointed il
this result. If the Republicans has
