triumph, and to do 1t at such railroad speed as ohe
State Capitol has Just been witnessing. They may
plan the capture OF the next Legislature, ms they or
ganlzed theft Of THIS one. They may renew ana
multiply their devices for binding hand and foot the
majority Of the lawful voters Of this state but II

bound. The spring elections have given but the

Nor can IT be said that the tendency shown by re-
cent voters is more in their favor. The biggest
majority New York gave against a Republican
candidate for the Presidency not the latest but

THE DEMoCRACY's POLITICAL DESPERATION.
AS further materials for speculation upon the result
this autumn. we might take the returns from the
spring election; and might proftably consider the
political desperation OF opponents, which has led
TO deliberate effort for partisan inspection Of the
election TO a partisan census, to the most debasing
surrender to the liquor interest the legislation Of New
York has shown, to new apportlonment which beg
gars the dctionary-since gerrymander7 does not
