| The New York Herald Declares
for the Democratic Ticl<ct..
state Senator Forster Repudi'
ates the Republican Nomi-
nees, Etc.
The political campaign in New
York seems to have opened. auspi-
ciously for the Democracy. The
ticket put forth by the Democratic
State Convention has been enthusi-
astically received by the party in all
sections of the State, whilst Repub-
lican politicians and papers acknowl-
edge that it is an exceptionally |
strong one. Several prominent re-
publican papers have already repudi-
ated the nominations of the republi-
can convention, on the ground that
they were secured through fraud and
the manipulations of Mr.. Jay Gould,
and the Nec York Herald OF yes>
terday, in the following leading edi-
torial, declared for the Democratic
ticket

the Saratoga and Syracuse Conven-
tons for the people not only to have
become aware Of their results in the
shape of nominations and resolu-
tions, but also to interpret them by
the methods by which they were
brought to pass and by the influen-
ces on which the party managers are
counting to elect their candidates in
} November.
