duct OF the party in power Notwithstanding the
many follies American. people occasionally commit,
there is strong OF common sense lying
at the foundation of social organization, and dis
gusted, doubtless, many are by the Vaccinations
and selnshness Of politicians, this common sense Will
assert itself at the polls in demanding and producing

NEW YORK SWINGS.
Although as a citizen OF the State OF New York
l naturally have affinity with my State, yet
York is dependent upon our nomination OF any
candidate from that State Indeed, there are reasons
tor believing the present divisions which exist In the
democratic party there that unexceptionabe cand

that II the West should present with any degree OF
unanimity the nanc OF Judge David Davis and he
should be nominated, IN my OPINION he would carry
three OF the electoral vote OF tho United States
for the reason that, while he Is thor
party, he is thoroughly unassaable. 1t Will DO
