operation. has been demonstrated to he
essential to the party's success next wear.
The tall State elections showed that Il is
necessary for the Republicans 10 carry
New York next year In order 10 elect he
President. Il Is difficult for the RennblI.
cans TO carry New York at any time. II
has been proved beyond doubt that /. IL
etIxceedingly Y difficult for the PARTY to carry
tne state with machine nominations,
5rants nomination would render the
success OF the party In this State extreme
" ptoblemattcal. II would be machine
nomination. To say nothing Of those
who refused TO vote at all last fall, 20 600
ot the best Republicans in the State worked
TO defeat the party ticket These voters
are the independent voters, the men who
strive tor purity and patriotism In politics.
the men whose votes are cast BY con.
science, the. men who are against the
machine and who do not need Orpaniza-
ton. Their number Is mainly due 10 n
growing dislike Of the very practices that
Obtained during Grants administrations,
and which they are thoroughly deter.
mined continually 10 oppose and event.
paliy deleat. These voters are readers
and thinkers, and are sincere. They have
enough strength combined to carry this
State for the Republicans, even against
the united Democracy. But, to secure
their votes, the party nominations must
not be machine nominations"
Mr.. Curtis, anxious always to he a Re-
publican, is an Independent OF independ-
ents, and with men like.minded is not
without influence. He did not vote for
Cornell, though he was delegate 10 the
convention that nominated him. This in
the party view is treason, but man Of
Mr.. Curtis parts and reputation has no
fear OF an epithet which can not injure
him: But while Mr.. Curtis is not without
influence in the direction indicated, he
has none at all with the machine men.
He can not prevent a nomination except
in so far as his influence III close State to
prevent the election Of the nominee would
influence machine politicians.
The New York World Democratic
paper) thinks that in case the Republic
cans nominate Grant and the Democrats
nominate Horatio Seymour, there will be
but little doubt as to how New York will
vote. 1t asks the question, 'does any
body suppose that Grant could carry this
State against him?" 1t seems to think the
answer q foregone conclusion, and that as
between Grant and Seymour, Grant would
have little or no chance in that State. The
World is probably right. Itis our opinion
that the Republicans will have a tremen-
