opinion;
"rhe result is not Il Democratic victory

State, which can always be depended upon.
It Is due TO the conduct Of the Republican
party duringthe pas! two years aud IL re.

supremacy through fraud and forgery.
The success OF the Democratic party In

The result Of the elections Of the past

o! the iuture course Of parties and OF the
probable effect Of that result upon the
