He concluded his address with this:

there leaves you struggling, perishing. 1t

and delightful pastures and refreshing waters
that forever elude your grasp. 1t viii lead
YOU to the pinnscles ofthe temple and show
YOU the world, which it is powerless to be-
stow upon you. Workmen, if your employ
ers will not learn this lesson, you, as en-
ployees, learn it. Learn that this wall must
be cut down; thatyou must have work; that
the work markets of the world must be open
20 YOU. Vote this Chinese wall down! Vote
protection policy down; vote this prohibit
ory tariff down, and then l assure you that

The Last Fight and Reversal.
In view of the unsteadiness Of the New
York vote, the reader is by this time, doubt
less, prepared to anticipate a still further
turnover. The anticipation is correct. In
1880 the memorable struggle between Han
cock and Garfield took place, and New York
State was the battle ground where effort
was put forth and soap" was freely used.
What mules" were to the campaign of 1876
SOAP" was to that of 1880 in Indiana and
New York Both sides were determined to
carry :he Empire State There was never
so full vote. Every inducemeRt known
to modern. politicians was put forth, and
the State echoed with efoquence from end
to end. General Grant and Roscoe Con-
king took the stump together for Garfield,
and General Hancock was aided BY Demo
cratic statesmen from all parts of the coun-
try. Tilden, Democrat, had carried the
State in 1876 BY $4,000 votes, but for all
that, Garfield, Republican, carried it in
1880 by 2l,OOO votes, a change of $4,000
votes! The precise figures are:
Voc.
Garfield, Republican. 5S55ii
Hancock, Democrat. 'S4,oIi
Garfield was victorious in the general
election also, defeating Hancock by the in
significant majority of 1898 voteSin grand
total of nearly 100000 votes!
THE PROBLEM.
In these seven Presidential elections the
State of New York has gone Republican
five times, but of the last four two majorities
are Democratic. The two great parties
have alternately been victorious, and if the
teeter principle is henceforth to obtain, as
it has during the past sixteen years, it is
he Democrats turn this year. The follow
ng table will show the votes cast for the
several candidates in the State Of New York
during the period the Republican party has
axisfed

Here was an oyerturn, indeed, and one,
too, which in any ordinary State would ap-
pear to be settler for some time to come.
According to the official record Tilden was
elected President by the general vote with
a majority of Isl, 1874, but the famous Elec-
toral Commission otherwise decided, aud
Tilden silently accepted the situation. 1t
may be of interest to know that the sworn
vote stood:

BEGINNING of the War.

The war began in the spring Of 1861, fol
lowing the extraordinary trip Of Lincoln
from Harrisburg, and his Inauguration By
Buchanan and Chief Justice Tshey on the
steps of the capitol, under the protection Of
Gen. Winfield Scott and the assembled
troops. When next election came the coun-
try was vet in arms, and both sections were
heartily tired of the war. The South was
nearly parslyzed and the North was on the
crest Of financial excitement The Repub-
Ecans, with faith in "0ld Abe put him in
nomination q second time, and the Demo
Gratis, desiring to derive some benefit from
he war, flung to the breeze the name of
Gen. Mcclellan, thinking that the popular
" of Little Mac would carry them to VIC
tory. For the third time the Republican
party won the day, but this time by re-
duced majority, as follows:

A Close Vote.

The closenesS of this vote was hint to
the Democrats, who lost the Presidency by
majority of4OT,S4 in the general vote
and induced them to gird up their loins for
renewed effort in 1868.
The war was ended. Dissatisfaction and
distress had taken the place of fights and
sieges. A very straight line was drawn
through the entire country and what WAS
literally general election was about to take
place. Grant, the successful Union soldier,
was nominated in 1868 by the Republicans,
and Governor Seymour, Who had been a
foremost critic of some Of thewar measures,
was induced to sccept the Democratic NOM
ination offered him in Tammany Hall The
Republican party was confident Of success
and so were its opponents. Governor Sey-
mour was at home in the Empire State,
and was one Of its ''favorite sons. Every
possible effort was made by the friends and
partisans of each and when the polls closed
on the day Of election New York was found
to have made its fip-fop ranging itself for
the first time in eight years in the Demo
cratic column, as follows:
seymour fS SO
Grant, 4lsScS
Grant was elected President BY msjor-
ity of 3O5, ,45s in the general vote, but so
far as New York was concerned 1t was con-
sidered q great triumph to have changed
Republican majority Of 1000 to a Demo
cratic majority Of 10000.
Another Somersault.
Fate appears to have given New York
twist, however, and when the election OF
1872 lOomed up there was general con-
viction that she had repented of her Dem
ocracy, and would turn up penibent IN the
eleventh hour The campaign Of 1872 has
no parallel The nominees-Grsnt, of the
Republican side, and Horace Greeley on
the Liberal" for there was no distinctive
IL Democratic nomination that year-Were
as well known as any two men in the Union.
1t was difficult to argue in favor Of Grant
without arguing for Greeley, aud vice versa.
The result however, was significant, for
New York turned 9 somerssult from one
camp to the other. and Grant was retained
for 8 second term also. New York vote
