:.s,ssTHE Republican papers are taking
great comfort from the idea that if
the Presidential election We're due
now they might have a chance.
But it is not due until two years
from now, esteemed contemporaries,
and your calculations about New
York, California and other States
are entirely too previous. When
New York arOuses herself she will
shake you up worse than she did in
1876. AS for California, the Demo-
Gratis carried that State in 1916, but
the late Senator Morton and the late
Gorham effected counting of 49,
600 fraudulent votes i'll San Fran
cisco alone. 1t was the browning
achievement of Morton's life, and
he was even prouder of it than of
the kiss of Hayes which fell upon
him like IA benediction from Uriah
Heep, just before he died in the OdOr
of Republican sanctity, digested by
his vices.-Albdny argus.

MACAULEY's prophecy is worth
recalling about these times; CAS-
long as you have a bOundleSS eX-
tent of fertile, unOccupied land your
labOring population will be far
more at ease than the labOring pop
ulatiOn of the Old World but the
time will come when New Eng
land will be thickly settled, wages
will be low and fiuctuate, and some
times many will be out of work.
Then your institutions will be
brought to a test. Hard times
makes the labOrer disconnected and
turbulent, and incline him to listen
with eagerness to agitatOrs, who
tell him that it is mon
strous iniquity for one to
have a million while another can
not get a full meal. When a legis-
lature is to be chosen, on one side
will be statesman preaching pa
tience, respect for vested rights,
strict observance of public faith.
On the other 8 demagngue rantiHg
about the tyranny of capitalists and
usurers, asking why anybody
should be permitted to live in lux
ury while thousands of honest
people are in want of necessaries.
Who will be likely to be preferred
by this DISCONTINUED element, and
what sort of a legislature will you
be likely to expect? | fear in
some such season of adversely spOli-
alton will increase distress,
