On Monday Justice M. H.
Bland ford was unanimously elected
by the Legislature to succeed him-
aelf on the Supreme bench.
file President has designated
Thursday, the 21th, as a day of
thanksgiving. The Democrat* will
observe the day with grateful
, heart*. _
New York Slate has seen some
close elections In the past, both on
president and on governor. In
1828 General Jackson had only
5,350 more votes In the state than
John Quincy Adams. This was
the first time presidential electors
wero chosen by popular vole, the
legislature having appointed them
previously. Henry Clay lost the
state in 1844 by C,10C votes, and
Lincoln had a majority of only
6,149 in 1864. Still closer votes
have been seen in gubernatorial
elections. Washington Hunt de
feated Iloratio Seymour for gov
ernor in 1850 by 262 vote*, and
four years later Seymour suffered
the same fate again at the hands of
Myron H. Clark, this time by 309
vote*. New York appears to be
chary of big majorities.
TIIF. COLOR LINE.
The Uepublieans have ior the
past fifteen years coil plained of the
color line which has existed politi
eally in the Southern States, and
have demanded that it should lie
abolished. Now that Cleveland is
elected and the national govern
ment will be administered by Dem
ocratic olllcials, it is probable that
what they have so long contended
for will be accomplished; but it is
doubtful if they will bo piensed at
the result.
The political color line in the
South has been maintained because
the whites were almost universally
Democrats in opposition to the
Bcallawag Uepublieans who vulcd
to ruin during the days of recon
struction, and remained Democrats
iu order to preserve an intelligent
administration of their local gov
ernments. The bl}oks were Re
publican* because they thought
they owed their freedom to the
«Republican party, and remained
Republicans because they had been
taught to believe thnt if the Demo
crats got into power they-, would be
re-enslaved.. While the local in
terests of whites and blacks were
identical, and they for mnny years
have voted together in the selec
tion of local ofUcers, whan national
election* took place the line was
tightly drawn. But so noon as the
colored people see thnt their polit
ical rights are respected under a
Democratic national administra
tion ns t^ey have been under Dem
ocratic state administration, the
only incentive they have had for
voting tho Republican ticket will
have beeu taken away, and we shall
sea them voting tho Democratic
ticket with their white friends aud
neighbors, and at the next presi
dential election the South will be
even more solid than it is now.
Before five years roll mound tho
Republican party will be demand
ing that the elective franchise shall
be taken away from the colored
men of the South, on the moral
ground that tuey ate not iutciiigent
enough to exercise such a high
privilege, and the political expedi
ency of weakening the political
strength of the South.
