THE FALL ELECTIONS.

Both parties must prepare TO over
come serious obstacles, If they expect to
bring out anything like full vote this
fall. Neither party is in good trim from
causes that are easily understood.
After having passed sixteen continuous
wears in a minority, the Democrats
made n supreme effort and elected Mr..
Tilden by majority of million OF
white votes, by u majority of more
than n Quarter of a million of black
and white, and by u decided majority
Of the electoral colleges. They were
successfully cheated out OF this election.
THE success Of the fraud, SO recent and
lao crushing In its practical results, has
necessarily reacted to some extent on
the spirit and hope of the party. Many
despond, others are Indifferent, and II
will require time to rally the unity
lheartiness and determination that
. were manifested a year ago, when foul
