apart in the rear. Passing the stand Lion
was a length and a half before Buddhist,
who was the same distance in front OF
Longstreet, who led Eric a length, with
Salvador and Proctor Knott in the rear.
On the lower turn Buddhist was at Lions
shoulder and a length and a kaf before
Longstreet, and he was q length in front OF
Eric. Salvador and Proctor Knott were
still behind. As they rounded into the
stretch Buddhist took the lead, two
lengths before Longstreet, with Lion third.
Salvador moved up to third place nearing
the stables and Proctor Knott kept him
company. They ran in this way half q
length apart until they swung into the
homestretch. Then began the tug OF war.

in the effort to gain the lead. At the last
~furlong Longstreet was a length before Sal.

Buddhist, who had Proctor Knott at his
collar.

South are "not only deprived of their polit-

colored schools of the South shave been de-

white people of that section, and that the
negroes of the South are, in fact, being ed

Murat's counsel says his demand was 80
bagatelle of about 100000 year for Deces-

aside from that, which did not amount to
much" The stsmall consideration" was q
cash advance of about 100000, which

the ticket well defined strength with the voters.
 With the naming of ticket so strong, coherent and well put together as that made out last evening it becomes the duty of the democratic voters to rally to it's support with the ardor, enthusiasm and energy that will ensure a grand and glorious victory next Monday. The city convention has done it's duty we'll; it remains now for the democratic voters to do theirs. As Mir Baldwin well re- marked last evening, it will require in- terest in the ticket, interest in the party, interest in the welfare of the city, and above all it will require votes, to insure the success of the men nominated last evening Every democratic voter should go to the polls next Monday and register his vote for the men nominated last evening. The ticket is unusually well worthy of the most loyal and enthusiastic support of the party.

THE NEW STATES.

Four new states-North and South Dakota, Washington and Montana-held their first election yesterday. The re- turns are naturally meagre as yet, though it was conceded in advance that the first three would go republican and the latter was doubtful. It may take several days before the result in Mon tana will be definitely known, though it ought to be democratic naturally for the reason that as territory it has been almost invariably so for twenty years. The new states will henceforth be factor to be reckoned with in the nominating con- ventions of both parties as well as in the elections, and they may have very much to do with the national situation, partic- ularly if, as the administration hopes, a break is made in the solid south. But with NewYork democratic there need be little concern of a democratic victory ill 1892 in spite of the three new states that seem to be certainly and hopelessly re- publican.
