H II ,1 &•' pi; * I f» i 1 fll'MUffi'lI \ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER ' THE ^.QgM. CASTAS! So one can review the local canvass without an expression, of regret. In most of the towjns in thlsi leounty Judge Sawyel rail largely aljead of his ticket, an»jt its spontaneous char- acter adda much to the value ofthej compliment. There was no concerted action, on the. part of the democrats in his behalf 'in' the district, and ijis very , flattering: vot^ was almost wholly d!ue \ to that pOpuJar^y' which his; profes sionaland judicial record had gained him. But popularity, however great, cannot supply the lack of energetic worfc at the polls. Had thi 9 energy been exhibited, we believe tlM, over- whelming as is therepubUcaWmajor-i ity in. .t&e district, it might hjijire been overcome. We hafa noiwishj oo. make invidious reflections upon anjj One, bu| simply to point out some of th a defects in our canvass,, and express 01 rlregrets at it8' unfavorable issue. jjBeyoffid • doubt the public'interest disjjoauded Judge Sawyer's election, an |ithe in- ' jury to those interests by hjs defeat is irreparable. That .our inactic rj'should throw away so great an opp jriupity, and oriei which will not occur again in fourteen years, is^most discrec juable to the party making the nominaMpn, Itj . is, useless to salve over such* egregious j misconduct. It caiinot be ]|inedied ! fooBObni.' We say this to ei cjiphasizef the necessity of action if tl i| demo cratic pjirty would make itself A power in American politics^., Tfc is work must begin in the election ifstricts. The national democratic par v, with out New-York, is. only eStbanded feebleness. In thisjjtate^we i Be weakj without theTSgMSture.\ Toj ^injhis . we must tarry republican hstricts, atadwhefr4|cah we begin' be itbi'than in St. Lawrence ? Judge \Sa\ jjrer was nominated? by a. democratic, conven- tion, and 1 , his canvass must i Ugre'fore have been organized witlljjn that party. Itepublicaus might wsiat in his election;. but ho\v could tijis avail as long-as-.democrais themslliyes did nothing. :' Can we expect ovjr oppo nents JoJj|lect our° candidate! ? No nominatlont however'exceli^h't, can be'successral at the polls whi :e we re \main in the ruts. We veiitjtire the assertion ithat no other tnaiiiii the State coiild, by. .'his own < unaided strength, have run so, well as did Judge Sawlyer in the late corniest. In presentiiigj candidates for loc^l offices , we do so [with the expectation that, they will |>e beaten,, So lonj; as this is the cajiej defeat is inevitable. Let us, in the jnext campaign, nominate our candidate3i with a-different idea, and then organize thoroughly and ' effectively,], and see to it that every vote is polled. Meetings should-jbe: held in every town,'arid addressed py ,pur ablest speakers. Only in this way: , can the people be •convinced of the' ; ,VV:..' •-; ;=*- Iaw fair and equitable in its terms. The session of 187S will doubtless give us such a bill as republlean.selfishne3s will deem essential to -its own pur- poses, .and political, expediency will compel Gov. Bobinson to give ' it the executive signature. The Constitu- tion declares that Assembly districts shall contain equal populations. By the present law democratic distrfqts contain 50,000, 'and republican but 28,000 inhabitants. To call Jhis an ap- portiombent it) an abuse r oK language, and yet while republican domination continues nothing else is'to bo ex- pected. The Senate cannot be re- deemed before 1879, and to replace Senator Conkling with a democrat, we must'carry the Assembly next year. To do this wo must put forth our whole strength and sound an advanee along the wholeiine.\ Ever since the opening of the canvass we have urged •its importance, and descanted on the disastrous con sequences that would ensue from defeat or a merely partial success.. To repeat the inactivity of 1877 is to be fiddling while Borne is burning. The democratic party needs nothing but earnestness'add zeal. Its principles are eternal and imperish- \ able; Only revive its old-time en- holloWjUess of republican (pretensions and made'aware' of\thg ih'farny of their political record. Something, pi ust^be done to revive and inspire the'organi- zation now deadened by the sleep%f twenty yeaijs. To\ rouge it from such profound torpor is-no^easy imatter, Again! we 'urge on olir friends the necessity \bfj effort, energetic and per sistent, iir brder to success,, and the fruit of our labor, though-prospective, is not-the less certain!. We.have Already called' attention to the saerificcjeniaiied up'|»n Judge Saw- for 1: this he successor. There is noi position iu|thegi|tof the people which his legal afbilities do not thusiasm and its powder \will be co- extensive with the Union, and i.$s op- ponents will be powerless for resist- ance. . • .

Now that- t-he returns from 'the cent election\ have been fully received! we may sit down and^calmiy calculate the final result.' That result} ihough favorable to jus, is far less »so tian we had ventured- to hope. The over- shadowing; importance of theI contest seems to have been overlook jd and disregarded by the great mass jof the democratic party.
