The con- sldeiablo number of doinociats who have urged that it would bo good policy ( or the party to Ignoio Now York candidates and seek a stand ird bonier in the vvuit , with a view to milking a bioach , if possible , in the lopublican btronguold , counseled shrotvdl ) from the point of vloof \ sound politics , but unfoitunatoly for them the west has 110 democrit vhoouhl bo available.

Tun outlook for national legislation compelling rallroids to equip their roll ing slock witli automatic watotj couplers is favorable.
