tariff, put in operation Sept. ], and with
reference to difficulties which arose at Chi

The Democracy ought to have nothing
10 Tear from the immense increment OF
suffrage. The cause Of Democracy is the
cause Of the people. 1t Is cause which,
when rightly understood commends itself
10 every man whose brain is the seat of
thought and whose hands are the forces
OF his self support. The national admin.
istration has given to the country the fact
and example of good government. The
success of such good cause in the ma
ton is bound up In the success of the
democracy in the state of New York. In
the main, the executive government of
this state has been well administered In
Democratic hands. Mistakes have been
made and are admitted. The mistakes
will be rectifed, If the party be re-
intrusted with power The Democracy
always acknowledges, in the long run, the
demands of its reform elements. Locally,
the county offices are but large partisan
rewards, for which the presentation of
party favorites is inevitable. The city
offices are places of business administra-
ton which the present incumbents have
well filled. -Brooklyn Eagle.
