New York in The Next Congress.
IN, Y. Recorder.

No state in the Union, perhaps, suffered
more severely from the sins of omission
and commiss sion of the Democratic party in
Congress than New York. Business of
all kinds WAS held up during months
and months. Great mercantile houses
doing an annual trade of hundreds
of millions of dollars saw the vol
ume of their transactions reduced to insig-
nificant proportions. Splendid factories
were closed. Wall street became almost a
desert. Free bread agencies had to be pro-
vided for vast army of the unemployed, snd
the charities of the city were taxed to their
utmost resources to save men, women and
children from starvation.
The country is preparing to turn down
the Congress that wrought all this evil, and
the Empire city and state should make
ready to do their share in the good work
Nineteen Democrats and Is Republicans
now constitute our congressional delega-
ton. The vote in some of the districts is
go close that they make splendid fighting
ground under ordinary circumstances; bu,
this year the situation is exceptional, and
there can be little doubt that the Republican
party will make heavy gains.

the presence of the executive before con-

with the peoples representatives. His
enemies said he wrote his messages rather
than spoke them because he was an excel

'Tis no matter where'er we may be.

Fen the sunsets of Italy pale,
Thy breezes bring courage wherever they blow,

ON my sons ana thy daughters are scattered afar
But, nome OF our hearts, very truly we know,
Know that some who are valient for TRUTH
Look back in the hour oftheir proudest success,

We care not Of What Others may think or may do,
Oh we care not what others may say,
For we,kn0w that places are kept for lis there
Although far from the hilltop we stray,
But oft e'erwe wake at the birds morning call,
wen be dreaming, old Thetford, of thee,
And still we will sing when the night shadows
