A Political Sacrifice.

Nick Butler of Columbia univer-

York, for which Office the Repabli-

him. The situation is now clear
some sacrificing Democrat will have
to take It. With three candidates in
the field this result seems inevitable.
But there never was a time when
some good Democrat in New York
was not ready to spend year or
two in the gubernatorial mansion.--
