aspect Of affairs as presented By the latest
elections held in the North and West. A
careful survey Of the field shows that the
Democrats are not as liable TO defeat as
would appear nc first glance, but stand
more than an even chance of success. In
the North the Democracy can safely lay
claim to the states Of Connecticut, Indiana,
New Jersey and New York. There may
be some who win dispute the possibility Of
carrying New York. The present split iu
the Democratic ranks may lose the state
for the Democrats at the election next
month. But year hence this dissension
will be healed. and the Democracy will
present solid front. With a united
Democracy the state is certain to cast its
electoral vote for the candidate of the
party, whoever he may be.
