Harlem Bridge.

Chicago Tribune: There have been two
notable bridges in the political history OF
the state of New York-frst Cayuga and
then Harlem bridge. When the anti
Masonic excitement broke out in 1926 the
counties west Of Cayuga bridge were all
carried away by it. Later on, when that
ephemeral party died out, all those coun-
ties became strongly Wing, and formed
what the Democrats then called "disaf-
fected district" So solid were they that
the Wings never gave up the fight, no
matter what the majorities against them
in the eastern and northeastern counties
might be, till they had the returns from
west of Cayuga bridge, meaning thereby
the dozen odd counties west of Auburn.
This section became rs firmly Republican
as it had been Wing, and after the pass
age Of the Kansas Nebraska bill was re-
inforced by counties like st. Law
renee and Essex, which, though tinctured
with free soilism, had generally given
heavy Democratic majorities. The Dem
ocratic strength, on the other hand, began
increasing n concentrating around the
waters of New York bay, where the
were dumped. The large
vote, which Chancellor Kent had
pointed ont over half a century ago might
in time control even national elections,
was all theirs, and was relied on by them
TO make good the immense American vote
them in the rural districts. SO
Harlem bridge has come to be the point
where the majorities Of the two parties
lock horns and strive for the mastery, and
Cayuga bridge IS a mere "reminiscences.
Now it is practically the counties Of New
York, Kings, Queens and Richmond
the rest of the state, or the Euro
pean colony versus the American popula.
