THE GREAT VICTORY.

portant political events are to be Judged,
the tremendous victory which has Just
been achieved by the Republican party
throughout the nation mast put an ever
lasting quietus upon the Democratic
party, tough and apparently nine-hved
as it is. If the Democracy had been
beaten in square stand-up fight, them
selves battling for those ideas which have |
made their organization distinctive, the |
rout would be far less significant than IT
is; but after casting aside their old pro-
fessions and ignoring the claims to the
Presidency of their own aspirants, ana
adopting platform which is a confession
of Judgment. and accepting candidate
Who. if he has not fallen into utter de-
moralisation and lives to resume his
wonted occupation, will denounce their
principles and motives with renewed
vieor; after the occurring of all thus, and
with this likelihood staring them IN the
face, to be beaten as no party was ever
before beaten in q single handed fight
and to have been discovered to an as
founded world in the very act OF playing
the vanton, and prodflessly playing it
if the Democratic party is tough enough
to live on and reconstruct itself, and
again, as an organization, come to the
scratch with Presidential candidate and
make q respectable show of winning, it
has more of life principle in it than any
party living or dead! As to the so-cailed
Liberal movement, of course 1t has
amounted to nothing. enly asia bait and
. bane to the Democracy.
The recoil is tremendous! 81 com
plete is the rout that Massachusetts,

been right and been moved by an ade-

would have been repudiated, is simply

with and cast out among the malignant
impracticables - along with Greeley.
Think Of poor Banks-a very ordinary
mortal at best-as absolutely dead as any
suicide unnecessarily dead, for, if he
had been content to stay in the ranks and
a.titudinize to the admiring gaze of the
abundant mediocrity of his District, he
could doubtless have continued to listen
to his own dramatic baritone, and be at
tractive to the lovers Of the statuesque as
a somewhat famous spectacular member
of the House of Representatives. As
such he was rather harmless Fraud;
semi-amiable Pretense; half tolerable
Humbug. Now he is exposed; and the
mantle of charity is removed from him;
and he is poor, abandoned, worn out,
indiferently ornamental political hack,
He was very much of Micawber, at
best. Now he is the Jaques Strop of
politics. Forceless Humbugs like Banks
have no business to attempt the doubt
fsl and always hazardless role of the
Rsformer. Pigeon breasted men, with
carefully disposed forelocks and weak
ness for aping the picturesque in manner
and gait, are rarely made of heroic clay;
and Banks is not an exception to the
rule. .C.- Ct

LYMAN Trumbu1l's cold blooded selfish
ness toward the party which has treated
him better than his deservings have
warranted.
As to Schurz who got these malcon
nts into the stupid and preposterous
scrape for which they never Will forgive
themselves, and for which also they nevel
will be forgiven. he is now only more
completely in his natural element thar
ever. He is born anarch; an intuitivt
and irrepressible conspirator- It is vel
that this dangerous, mercillessly am.
bilious man has bsen put before the
coont1y In his trus colors, and defeated
