THE PARTY'S PILOTS.
WHAT IS BEING DONE AND TALKED
ABOUT BY The GOTHAM SQUAD.
Preparations for the future-A Democratic
Reorganization in New York City
How the Republicans Achieved
their Success in the
Empire State.
COMPLEXION OF THE NEXT HOUSE.

The independent Democrats OF New
York city are becoming disgusted with
the throat" policies OF the Tam.
many and Irwin Hall Democracy, and
they will soon take the reins OF the par
ty in their own fists. 1t is to be hoped
that under this new management the
Eastern wing Of the purity will be more
successfully guided in the future. The
REGISTER gives this morning a detailed
account OF how, in very large degree,
the Republicans captured the State OF
New York at the late election. Investi-
cations into the Radical frauds are now
going OH. The present Republican
alarm, says pertinent writer, con-
cerning the Empire State is the
terror OF guilty consciences that
remember the outrage OF four
years ago. There is no ground for this
trepidation. The Democratic party,
that has vigorously denounced the
enormous offense against suffrage which
was committed after the last Presiden-
tial election, will take the electoral vote
in this election OF no State to which it
is not fairly entitled. Hancock is not a
man who would consent to be Counted
in," and IN this fact, if in nothing else,
the scared Republicans who are quaking
in their boots with vague fear of divine
retribution Tor the iniamy OF 1876 and
and 1877, have guarantee against the
loss OF the fruits Of their victory at the

SION ior Secretary sherman and recog-
milton oi some kind OF Governor Foster,
who, perhaps, holds closer relations
with him than any man in the country.
Secretary Sherman goes back to the
Senate by his own choice. Gov. Foster
will be offered Cabinet position II he
wants it, in grade Ike Secretary OF the
Interior. There is no doubt about the
definite conclusions of these points, but
beyond this nothing has been talked OF,
except when the proper time arrives to
hold q consultation with prominent
members of the party, as stated.
Gen. CART Id will n 1t set himself up
against the judgment OF his friends, nor
the value OF their advice. At the same
time he will be President, and ready to
assume all the responsibilities OF his
administration. In constructing the
Cabinet New England will not be over
looked through the counsel of a leader
like Blaine. New York will be duly
considered by the advice of Conkling,
and if he wants gentleman like Hon.

Treasury Department 1t will be done.
Mr.. Morton is his lifelong friend, OF
rndoubted ability, and has the CONT
dence of the moneyed men OF the coun-
try, so there is no telling what will
happen.

of the future on as good authority as
any outside the limits of Mentor.

WHEELING w. VA. NOVEMBER
New York shall be cast for General
Hancock

New York shall be cast for General
Hancock.
The ballots which were cast through
out the State for the Hancock electors
were furnished by the State Committee,
and in every particular complied with
the requirements or directions OF the law
OF 1880. 1t is likewise undeniable that
ballots issued and cast in various parts
OF the State for Garfield electors did not
comply with these requirements, but
are, on the other hand, in direct viola
tion OF the law; in short, illegal ballots,
made illegal by statute enacted by the
Republicans themselves. The law pre-
scribes that the ballot shall have
a caption" as both the Demo-
cratic and Republican ballots for electors
had; but it further prescribes certain
things that the ballots shall not have,
and this part is just as mandatory as the
provisions in regard to what the ballot
shall have. Among the things which
the Legislature at the last session decreed
that the ballot should not contain is,
that they shall be without any impres.
sion, device, mark or other popularity
whatsoever, upon or about them, to dis-
tinyuish one ballot from another in ap-
pearance THE Republicans violated this
provision Of the law by printing the
Garfield ballots with device in order to
distinguish them from the Hancock bal
lots. The design of this print on the
back OF the ticket was made apparent at
the polling places throughout the State
it was used in direct violation OF the
law, and for the very purpose which the
statute was enacted to prevent. The
law was passed in order to preserve the
secrecy OF the ballot and to prevent any
person from knowing by the appearance
OF the ballot how citizen voted. The
Republicans used this ballot TO defeat
that purpose Of the law and the better
to carry out their intimidation.

Much TO our regret the general mar

total absence oi the e., rnan demand,

The hopeful views entertained up to
this period seem to be doomed to disap

tantly forced into the belief that this
important outlet will not he available
for at least some time To come.

had elapsed with hardly any sales, !" hen

willingness to resume purchases Tor

Oscar Snow, a white boy aged Is years,

On April 7th, 1877, the application for
pardon was renewed, and 1t was decided
