from the domain of consideration. There Is no
use in discussing political tendencies and pros
poets in States where popular suffrage has been
abolished. Nevertheless, 1t may he remarked

stronger than in 1885, while the anti-expansiop
sentiment is minus quantity.
While, therefore. conditions are nowhere else
lust what they are in New-England, and while
the result in two New England States is no
absolute criterion of results elsewhere this sug-
gestive comparison of conditions and tendencies

suits thereby the rule of contrasts if not of
likenesses. And the outcome of that estimate
is full of encouragement for the Republican

spectacle of a man like Croker in supreme and un-
questioned command. That he should be all DOW
erful in New-York City is not remarkable for
there he has behind him the influence of the sIums
in which he originated. and which are still the
foundation of his power But that he should be
able to WELD the same influence in State and con-
sequently in National party affairs should make
all Americans blush for their country"
