The Cortland Democrat, Friday, November 11, 1887.

AH, THERE!

A PLEASANT DAY.

Their Prayers Were Answered and so Were Ours.

The Democracy’s Triumph.

Clean Sweep in New York—The State Democratic by from 15,000 to 20,000.

   NEW YORK, NOV. 8.—The weather to-day was bright and clear in every part of the State.

   The Herald says Chapin is elected Mayor of Brooklyn by 5,000 plurality. Morgan J. O'Brien is elected Judge of the Supreme Court by about 30,000.

   NEW YORK, Nov. 9--1:30 A. M—The election in this city is finished and the Democratic majority of Cook for Secretary of State, is nearly fifty thousand over Grant, and considering that Henry George polled over 85,000 votes, is considered a fair Democratic majority. In this city the whole Democratic ticket has good majorities. The contest for district attorney excited greater interest by far than that for Secretary of State. It early became evident that Fellows would defeat his opponent, Nicoll, the Democrat, who accepted a Republican nomination, but his majority of nearly 30,000 over Nicoll was more than even his friends expected. Post, the candidate of the United Labor party fell far below Nicoll.

   The total city vote for Secretary of State gives Grant 54,379; Cook 100,776; George 35,420; Hall 4,950; Huntington 1,086; Beacher 26.

   Ransom (Dem.) is elected Surrogate.

   The Republicans explain their defeat in the city by stating that the Republicans who voted for George last year have stayed by him, while the Democrats have gone back to their party.

   The Democrats carried the state, judiciary, all of the Senate, 17 out of the 24 Assemblymen, three of these being Republicans and three being probably of the United Labor party. The Democrats elected the city judiciary. They elected 16 out of the 25 aldermen and eight of the 10 civil justices.

   NEW YORK, Nov. 8.—Brooklyn city complete gives Cook 48,488, Grant 40,482, Huntington 2,168, George 11,818, Hall 747.

James Belden

[Editorials, Page Two]

   It was a pleasant day.

   The late campaign will be known in history as the "Boodle Campaign."

   The notorious Jim Belden has been elected to succeed Mr. Hiscock in the lower branch of Congress by a majority which indicates that he is the kind of man the Republicans in the Syracuse district admire.—N. Y. World.

   The result in the state is highly satisfactory to the Democrats. The George ticket which Tom Platt fondly hoped would defeat the Democratic ticket failed to materialize and if it had any effect whatever acted as a boomerang on the party that fostered it. The result shows pretty plainly also, that the entire republican vote was not polled. The fact that the party machinery was in the hands of Tom Platt and that such men as Jim Belden, Vedder and men of the same character had been nominated for responsible offices, disgusted the better class of republicans and caused them to remain away from the polls. With respectable candidates and respectable managers at the helm, the party might have done better.

   From the large majority rolled up for "Jim" Belden in this county, we conclude that our republican friends can stomach "flesh, foul or the divil" [sic] if it comes to them bearing the regulation party label. We did hope that they would take this occasion to resent the insult heaped upon them by the party leaders of Onondaga County, in taking the nomination, and the further insult in nominating such a man as Belden. There is however, very little to be expected of a party, the individual members of which, have not sufficient independence to rise in their might at the polls and do what they can to avert the disgrace of being represented in Congress, by a man who ought to be serving the State in an institution erected for other than legislative purposes. Those Democrats and Republicans, who were seduced by liberal supplies from the barrel, will have the satisfaction of knowing that they parted with their virtue for a price that was far above its market value.

   It was a noticeable fact during the late campaign, that the Cortland Standard gave the county candidates of its party no support whatever. It was so noticeable in fact as to be remarked by everybody and the candidates themselves and their friends, indulged m some remarks in consequence that would not look well in print. The omission was made more conspicuous from the further fact that the Standard in its issue of October 20, contained a fine portrait of Hon. Lawrence J. Fitzgerald, the Democratic candidate for State Treasurer, with a biography. The republicans freely charge that our neighbor made the above publication for the purpose of assisting Mr. Fitzgerald in his canvass, but all who know anything about the matter, know that it done him far more hurt than good. The republicans also charge that the editor of the Standard refused to assist the county candidates of his party, for the reason that it was in sympathy with the Democratic ticket and desired its success. This idea which seemed to pervade the republicans throughout the County injured the Democratic candidates, for there were many republicans who would have voted for our candidates had they not believed that the Standard desired their election. It has come to be pretty generally understood that when the Standard supports a Democratic candidate he is pretty sure to be defeated. Mr. Fitzgerald would undoubtedly have carried the county by a handsome majority, if the Standard had kept his name and picture out of its columns, and his unwarrantable interference in the campaign on our side, was not desired and is not to be regretted.

   Many Republicans, however, believe that the article in last week's Standard furnishes the true inwardness of Mr. Clark's action in the late campaign. After filling the paper full of articles favorable to Mr. Belden's canvass, one little corner is reserved to say "that the (county) candidates have not been around since the county convention." Belden had evidently been around, because his canvass was looked after. Candidates on the republican ticket will understand, hereafter, that they must "come around" and see the editor of the Standard if they expect to be noticed in his paper during the campaign.

   The Republicans are talking very strongly of starting a new paper here, and we understand Belden, who is far from being satisfied with the Standard, offers to furnish all the money necessary for the enterprise. This would undoubtedly result in driving the Standard entirely over into the Democratic party, which would be a calamity indeed.
