THAT doubtful things are mighty
uncertain" is exemplified by the
sudden shifting of the political
status of New York in the past
Cleveland carried the State in 1882
by $4,000. but in 1884 he only got
1000; Mckinley carried it in 1896
by 26e,000. but the very next year
the Democrats carried it by 10000;
Odell got Ill. 900 in 1900; but only
squeezed through by 5000 in 1902.
The State of New York is subject
to very sudden political changes.
1t looks now, however. as if it was
pretty sure to go Democratic in
1904. with the opportunity which
the New York City Democracy has
for making a good record at the
much-needed work of reforming
the reformers.
