The new secrct-balot law will be great
factor i'm helping the Democrats 10 caplurr
the rural districts, and viii prevent ia,
corpulent Use Of money which has market
and disgraecd all previous elections. Inc
Democrats of this State Will make great
nght to elect at least twenty 'Ongressinet
iout of the thirty-fOur. II this Is accom-. .
be done. there will be great rejoicing ainoi
the Democracy. just now the leaders OF
10Th parties are seized with panic that tno
new ballots will not be ready. lhe siNts
county clerks of the state are SLOW IN sehn@
inc in their orders for the number OF ballots
required. 10 is estimated that al least W
| 100000 official ballots Will have 10 De print-
ed and in the whole state there II pu' oh'
printing house that has the proper ma
chinerv 10 print these ballots. The ma't
? who will do the work is Democrat, anu
the Republican leaders are seized WIN ah-
other panic that he will see that the Denlo-
Gratis will get all they want, ana that soihe-
thing will surely happen ~ the Republican
ballots.
THE CURSE Oh "REFoRM.'
one OF the greatest curses New York has
ever encountered is reform Every littl.
while some crank starts up 10 reform som. :
thing that, in his own individual opinion, ~
amiss in the municipality. and the result u .
yariably is that in the end the experiment
proves disastrous, aud the last state Of al
fairs is worse than the first. just now We
J have Reform party preparing for the COM
{ ing election. And IL il universally known
that these reform parties all move In the same
groove -selt-interest--and that the leaders
I are always men who have either been oIlcc-
: holders or are like "Barkis.- willing. TLd
= Democrats, who are on the ''Outs." the di--
gruntled Republicans, and all the cranks
and antique oilice-hOlders Of the town. One
amusing point il the new crusade In the
action OF a number Of clergymen, who have
zone into the party, cassock, gown, and
! all. Verify. politics make strange bed-fIk
lows. The cry, too, Of the present lief2I
z ers, like those OF the past, is "AnytlA -
. beat Tammany." But Tammany - Il -,
all the same, everytime.
