The Election In Alabama.

The election in Alabama yesterday result ed
In a 'clean sweep" for the democrats, according
TO the Geographic reports. This was lust what
every one who took a practical view OF the con-
test In that state expected. The means by
which this sweeping victory was accomplished
may not have been entirely consistent with a
Stree ballot and fair count" but it will be
none the less effective In behalf of the democ-
racy. On the other hand. it is not unlikely
that the democratic triumph was legitimately
won. That party was not confronted by any
organized opposition. The republicans had no
ticket 10 the field and the greenbickers
were too weak TO contend against the
party that has held possession of the
state for eight years with all the patronage.
state, county and municipal While there may
not have been any authorized attempt to form a
union between the republican and greenback
parties, 1t was attempted In some sections. and
The effect was TO weaken the latter organization
in the northern and southern portions of the
state, where the land and people are generally
poor, there has always been a good deal of preju.
dice against the negro. It was In these sections
that the greenbacker5 had mustered their great
EST strength, and the whites who had voted
with that party resented what they believed to
De an attempt TO unite them with the heroes
In an election contest The result was that
many OF the whites returned TO the democratic
party and voted Its ticket. No matter how the
election was carried il settles the status of Ala
bama In the presidential election. The CONT
dent assertions OF the greenbackers that they
would carry the state had, perhaps, led many
10 regard the result there as doubtful.

The howl raised By some OF the newspapers
over the fact that Mr.. Davenport, the super
visor OF elections In New York, is copying the
census lists OF that city, with view to COM
parsons about election time is one that the
general public will not join In. The fact that
glarfng frauds have heretofore been perpe-
trated there IS too plain to be doubted any
longer by anybody, and as both parties are now
pledged. by their platforms, at least to free and
fair election everywhere IL is not easy to see upon
what ground Mr.. Davenports proceeding can
be objected to. It'can do no harm that we can
see. Itcertainly will not tend to prevent fair
election. The claim that the time required to
copy the lists will delay by a few days the set
tlement OF the census enumeratorS' accounts
Will not be accepted by fairly disposed people
as entitled to any consideration as against the
Importance Of having only men vote who are
entitled 10 that right and having them vote
only once. This Will probably be the effect and
the only effect OF Mr.. Davenport's new precau-

1t Is claimed, and the experience of the last
two years bears 1t out. that the United States
can supply Europe with breadstufs and pro-
visions cheaper than they can be produced
there. The vastly superior facilities possessed
Ia this country By the agrfculturist, consisting
OF fertile soil, favorable climate, labor saving
machinery and cheap transportation, over the
tIler OF the soil In Europe places the latter at
disadvantage, even In his home markets Be-
Sides this, the farmer here generally owns the
ground he cultivateS- He has no rent 70 pay
and all the money he expends for improve

rich the aristocratic classes and It's products
