The presidentiul election of 1884 was decided by the voto of the state of New York. Although the state government, with its vast machinery, was in the hands of the democracy, Mr. Blaine would have earried New York by a very handsome majority had he received the undivided republican support. This year, as in 1884, the independents will hold tl : ance of power, and they will decide the contest. The republicans have very | wisely chosen candidates whom re- publicans of all shades and factions will chéerfully support. All classes of republicans, and a good many who were once republicans and are sono longer, ak of the ticket with approval and with a good deal of enthusi The New York Zimes, which led tl publican revolt against Mr. Blaine last year, deelares that Mr. Davenport is generally acknowledged to be entirely worthy of the governorship, that his pure and upright character, his candor and fairness, his fidelity to a high standard of public duty, his ample experience and trained intelligence are well known, and that there is absolutely no reasonahle fault to be found with him, and the dem- ocrats are as free to own that fact as the republicans are to claim it. Gen. Carr, who "has been nominated for the second place on the ticket, is the present secretary of state, which office he has filled to the satisfac- tion of all. He is a very popular man and a shrewd politician, His name adds strength to the ticket, and it is admitted in all quarters thut Davenport and Carr are almostinvincible, even when matched against the most popular men the demo- crats could name, In the face of such a strong nomina- tion, which even Mr. Dorsheimer, in the New York Star, pronounces unexcep- tionable, the democrats with their ten- dency to blunder have mominated a ticket which the independents resent with indignation. Governor Hill forced himself at the hoad of the ticket by the machine lubricated with state patronage. Mr. Hill, who by the way is anaccidental governor, is the ropresentative of that element of the democracy which bitterly opposes reform the civil service and believes in the spoils policy. His nomination is regarded almost as a rchuke to the policy of President Cleveland, although the democratie platform commends Cleve- land’s administration. Mg, Hill’s nomi- nation is given out as a great victory for Tammany, and that repels a large ele ment of the more respectable demoera Where there were republican mugwumps in 1884, there will be democratic mug- wumps in 1885, To cap the climax of blundering the demoerats gave the sec- ond place on their ticket to Roswell P, Flower,” who was a candidate for the presidential nomination last year, Mr. Flower is very ambitious, but he could hardly afford to accept the empty bauble of a licutenant-governor, after he had aimed for tho highest place in the gift of the nation. “The real object’of compliment- ing Mr. Fower with this nomination was not 50 much a desive to do him honor as it was to draw on him for the campaign fund. Now that Mr, Flower refuses to play monkey for Mr. Hill and declines to pull hot chestnuts out of the fire, the democracy finds itself in an awkward di- lemma. It has enteved the campaign in an off-year, when the party yoke rests lightly on the neck of the masses, handicapped and demoralized, What- ever may be done to fill Mr. Flower's place will not materially help, matters, The republicans are united, and deter- e <8y, S | short of this stan: | ment will have to s mined to regain theirlost prestige.

It is stated that the course of the fires could be discerned all along 125 miles of railroad, and in some cases the fire is known to have extended twenty miles from the track. The scene is described being of utter blackness as far as the reach. The loss by these fires will prob- ably run up into the millions. Tae Jowa campaign is progressing very quietly. The heavy guus of both parties were fired off with a heavy charge of powder and very little shot. The noise was deafening, but the effect was not perceptible. ‘The republicans have good reason to feel confident, and: therc fore they are not making extraordi exertions.
