The Boston Herald thinks the Democratic
party in the eastern part of the United States
has shown this year surprising aptitude
for avoiding blunders. The nominations in
New York State and Pennsylvania are far
ahead in merit of what we have been accus-

during the next two years, these two great
States prosper under Democratic admins
trations, the fact will go long way in de-
terming the next presidential election.

gers original election 10 the Court of APP
peals in 1870 was effected by forgery very
closely akin TO the forgeries at the Saratoga
Convention. In the election of 1870 for the
six side judges under the constitutional
amendment of 1869, the ELECTORS were re-
stricted by the terms of the amendment to
voting for ''only FOUR Of them. This made
sure that the minority party in State politics
should put two judges upon the new benca
As the Democrats were the majority party
they, of couse, elected their candidates for
chief judge and four associates, and the only
practical contest was which two of the Re-
publicans should lead the two others. The
four Republican candidates were Ro bert S.
Hale, Charles Mason, Charles J. Folger and
Charles Andrews-the last named the sane
who was unanimously nominated by the Re-
publicans at Saratoga last week Tor chief
judge. By frauds committed in making up
the election returns in New York city, under
Tweed's direction 1925 votes were added to
the count of Mr.. Folger in the Sixth, ksev-
entb, Eighth, Tenth and Twenty-6rst Wards,
and ne was thereby returned at the head of
the poll with 1880 votes in the whole
State instead of 150, 7o5. If there had beeu
q true count and return Mr.. Mason, who re- |
ceived 152, 306 votes, would have been de-
claTed elected instead of Mr.. Folger. The |
evidence of these forseries is incontestable.

THERE can be no doubt but that the re-
ports from East Tennessee, to the effect that
the Democrats Of that end of the State are
solid for Bate and the straight Democratic

frequently don't fill appointments at all, be-
cause there is no one to speak to.
