New York World, Nov. r.
The election preceding the Presidential
Campaign is one of the most important that
can be held except in the Presidential year
itself. 1t has been called, in political par
lance, an "of'' election. This is a misnomer.
It is test election, and the people in vot-
ing intend to indicate and do indicate by
their ballots the position they have about
made up their minds to occupy in the con-
test Immediately to follow.
This is true of all elections held the year
preceding the Presidential election, but it is
emphatically the truth this year. Both par
ties conducted the campaigns in Ohio. New
York New Jersey and Pennsylvania on that
issue. The Republicans in Ohio called on
their party to save the State, because its loss
poets of success in 1884 After defeat in
Ohio the New York Republicans made a pa
thetic appeal to all factions to give them
still a chance in the Presidential contest by
carrying this State by a decisive majority
Their organs, their State Committee and
their public speakers raised the alarm that
not to win a great victory in New York
would be fatal to all hope of q continuance
OF the party in power for another Presiden-
tial term.
Looking back to the last five Presidential
contests, it becomes evident how distinctly
the test elections in the year preceding the
Presidential struggle indicate the beating of
the public pulse.
In 1868, the year preceding the next Presi-
Dental election, or in the last State election
where none was held in 1868, the Republic
ans had the following majorities over their
Democratic opponents in States which are

Under the alarm of the defeat of 1876, the
the power of money had been called in to

The States in the Democratic column can
not, of course, be all depended upon to give
their electoral vote to the Democracy. But
the changes that have taken place show I'M
mistakably the revulsiOn in popular senti-
ment and the desire of the people for a
change. The drift of the tide is with the
Democratic party. If the Democrats, with
their large majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives and their power in two thirds OF
the States of the Union, act with sense, they
will elect their President in 1884.

the sea shows large tracts OF open spaces
during these seasons. These are the rea-
sons advanced: The ocean ice north Of
Spitzbergen is then always in a constant

the most varied directions. AT times, too,
the ice has been found to drift in direc-
ton contrary to those Of currents and
winds. North Of Spitzbergen there must,
therefore, during certain periods OF these
seasons be large tracts OF open water which
are capable OF receiving the enormous ice
