Against New York State Democracy.

New York, Oct. 31.—The decision of Judge Beach a few days ago that the state democracy could not legally be given a separate column in the blank ballot surmounted by a rooster as its emblem was affirmed by the general term of the supreme court yesterday. The judges said in their opinion the new law was intended to develop simplicity. That it intended a single column for a single party was also evident The state democracy made no nominations for State officers, consequently the police commissioners ignored the law in making up the ballot.
