readily as a pretext for the stringent

ered it probable that sufficient strength
would be retained in the Legislature
to sustain Governor Hoffman Jin ve
toing Radical schemes. Such,1 how
ever! is not the case. Tho Radicals
have over two thirds majority in each
braJich, and can do as they please.
In this city also,' with the aid of Dem
ocrats who should have known better
than to join them, they have carried
the Boai'd of Aldermen. tho jKegTstcr
ship, and pretty much every office
worth baving. In fact, the knti-Tam-many,
people made almost a c lean
sweep, and after -the 1st of Januarj'
will have cntiro control ol the city as
woll as tho Stato. What they will do
with tho power thns secured it is not
difficult to imagine. .
Over in New Jersey - however, tho
Democracy mado a bold Sghtand came

Joel Parker was elected Governor bv

Of course Massachusetts went her

probabiiities are that it wilt'continuo'so
for a long timo to como. John Qniney
Adams ran about as well as when the
was last a candidate for the guberna
