The Late Elections.
COMMENTS OF THE NEW YORK PRESS
New YORK, Nov. 6.-The Heralt
says of the election:

New YORK, Nov. 6.-The Herald
says of the election:
"The radicals excluded from their
councils the conservative element of
their party, and the people OF New
York, like those of California, Ohio
and Pennsylvania, have repudiated
them and rendered an emphatic YER
dict against their violent revolutiona-
ry policy. In this city, the great
commercial centre of the Union, the
majority against radicalism amounts
to over sixty one thousand, although
the radical press and politicians ex-
erted their utmost energies to avert
such a result. New York, with her
large financial terest, declares
against the party of debt and taxa
ton, and rebukes the attempt to place
the southern states Of the Union un-
der the wheel Of African barbarism.
The fact is now established beyond
controversy that the citizens Of the
loyal states, and especially of the city
of New York, repudiate the financial
and reconstruction policy Of congress
and demand change. The decision
of New York state in this years con
test has been looked for with anxiety
all over the Union. Ever since the
war, with the exception Of the election
of Horati0 Seymour under the tenn
pOrary reaction Of 1862, the state of
New York has voted steadily on the
side of the republican party, and her
verdict now is against the revolution
ary policy Of the radical congress, ra-
ther than an endorsement of the de-
mocracy.
1t is q triumph of the conservative
sentiment Of the country which last
year indorsed the constitutional am
endment as a final settlement Of the
question of reconstruction and now
rebuke5 and repudiates those who,
disregarding the popular voice, re-
opened the agitation for the purpose
of forcing negro rule upon the south
and securing a balance Of power in
the national government. 1t is a final
and emphatic declaration that the peo-
pie will not suffer the government of
the United States to pass into the
hands of the violent men whose prin.
ciples are embodied in the policy Of
the present congress, and that the re
publican party must discard sucf
leaders ifit hopes to retain the power
it has enjoyed the past seven years"
The Tribune says:
With three fourths of the repub
: lican journals published in our city
either neutral in the contest or virtu

be better for the republican ticket t.
: be beaten this fall, we could hardly
. expect TO hold our own in the city o.
. state; but the detection in both is faI
: greater than could with reason have
l been anticipated. Here, where thC
influence Of our city journals is mos
direct and peryasiye, the practical ad
hesioG to the wrong side Of most OF
those read and trusted by republicans
4 has cost the republican state ticket a
r least 10000 votes, and beaten our lie
2 giSl4tive candidates even in district
5 where there are decided republican
majoritieS.
To let the election 90 by default,

and camp followers, would crush wha

icalism, and render inevitable the nc

} Such considerations and calculation
have kept fifty thousand voters frou
the polls, and insured the overwhelm
ing defeat of our state ticket.
