Daily Republican., 1883-11-10

and only fourteen out OF the sixty gave
Democratic majorilies. And yet the
State has elected, with one exception,
Democratic State officers by majorities
ranging from twelve to eighteen thous-
and. Where does the Democratic ma
jority come from when forty-six out Of
sixty counties are Republi can. Look
at New York County, in which is the
city of New York, and find the answer
Democratic majority in that city forty
five Thousand. Leave out that MAORI
ty and the Republicans would have a
majority of over thirty thousand The
rural counties with heir large Repub-
lican majori:ies would be able to bal.
ance the large Democratic vote OF such
large cities as Albany, Buffalo and
Rochester and still make New York a
sare, unwavering Republican State,
were it not for the Democratic majori-
ty of New Yor city.
Well, has not New York city right
to be Democratic If she wants to, and TO
give as large a Democratic majority as
she wishes to? Most undoubtedly she
has If the people of New York vot
freely and intelligently with the Demo-
cratic party because they believe it to
be the BEST for the government Of the
country, we would not by any word or
line of ours change conscientious vote.
But does anybody believe that the mass
that composes the Democratic party Of
New York votes conscientiOusly and In.
telligently?
Intelligence and conscience have but
little to do in controlling the bulk of
the Democratic vote of New York. Ii
is controlled by Intelligent bosses with
less conscience than the ignorant and
degraded voter that wears his masters
political power and votes as he IA tod
to vote. t.
New York, as we have already sa d is
hopelessly Democratic taken as a city
but it is capable Of subdivision to sec

cratic majority comes from Look at
the Wards and the Districts which give
the largest Democratic majorities and
