THE COLLEGE CoURANT is a sixteen
page paper, published by Charles @. Chat
field & Co., New Haven, Conn.,, and now
in its eleventh volume as a weekly publica-
ton. 1t is decidedly the ablest of all our
college journals, being largely devoted to
literary and scientific subjects, as well as
to the current college news and records Of
the country. Mr.. Chatfield is a graduate
of Yale, and has devoted his entire atten-
ton, since leaving college, to building up
this splendid literary and scientific journal,
being able to command at times many of
the best pens of Yale as tributary to its
columns. To students and gentlemen Of
literary taste and culture, we can COM
mend no better journal than The College
Courant. The subscription price is four
dollars o year, giving q larger amount of
valuable reading matter for the money than
any similar publication with which we are
acquainted.

THE UsDERLY1xs REASON.

The man who supposes that O Presiden-
tial election in the United States is to be
conducted as n mere gambling operation, or
by creating a corner in public opinion
as in the stock or grain market, has no
proper appreciation of the character
of the American people. A good
deal of trickery may be practiced by local
politicians, and political Rings in various
parts of the country may successfully
operate with their confidence games upon
the people, but the great body Of the Re-
publican party, as well as the bulk of the
Democratic organization, must be actuated
by considerations which address themselves
TO their intelligence, and by principles.
more or less well defined, to which each
party must respectfully adhere if it would
save itself from hopeless defeat. The peo-
pie must have a reason, more or less salts
factory, for their political action ; and
NJ brilliant series of victories, such
as the Republicans achieved in the October
elections, can be the result of fraud, cor
ruption, trickery, or chicane.
In the palmy days of the Democracy,
when it was the ~favorite .aunt of the
Wings that the party was made up Of the
ignorant masses who were led like cattle to
the polls, these taunts fell powerless before
the great convictions and well-defned
principles of the party by which the great
body of the people were moved in its
orderly ranks. The Wings then made the
same accusations against the Democrats
that the Democrats make against the
Republicans to-day. They solaced them
selves fortheir many disappointments by
charging Democratic success to fraud and
corruption, while the continued victories of
the dominant party indicated their claims
10 an intelligent ballot, and, generally, to a
patriotic administration of the Federal
government. The Democrats are taking
their solace now substantially after the
same fashion. By an abandonment of their
distinctive principles of guidance in the past,
and for the want of any ~well-deined prin-
ciple Of action in the future, the party has

A SYNOPSIS Of the October crop report
given in our late Washington dispatches,
sums up the yield of wheat this year at
24o. o0O, 900 bushels. The crop is larger
and of a better average quality than last
year. In most Of the Eastern States there
is a decrease, which, however, is much
more than made up by the increase in the
West. The acreage is estimated at 10000
600 acres, and the average yield at from
twelve to thirteen bushels per acre.

The New York Tribune, which 6 dom

readers that Greeley will carry New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, Ohio and Indiana surely.
AS a man who is hopelessly bankrupt grows
reckless, and don't attempt to pay his debts,
50 the Tribune makes no attempt to adhere
to the truth, or even to palpable proba-
bilities. The amount of senseless words
that journal will have staring it in the face
after election is fearful to contemplate. If
it has not, by its present course, lost the
reputation for responsibility which it has
taken it SO many years to acquire, there is

drifted into a hopeless minority, who're it will
remain until the life of principle is again
infused into its organic structure. This
can only be done by coming back to the
old Democratic creeds, which ignored the
false lights of notification and secession,
and adhered to the constitutional land
marks, practically as well as theoretically
set up by the Jefferson and Madison school,
when the boundaries of power between
the States and Federal government were
first sharply defined by the trainers as
well as the earlier expounders of the Con-
stitution.
In the meantime the Republican party,
which does not wal essentially against
these principles, but is rather seeking to
make q more thoroughly practical
test of them in the future, has SO
completely indicated its claims to the con-
fdence of the American people that its
overthrow for the present is next to an
impossible achievement. 1r
Among the recognized claims of this
party to the continued confidence and trust
of our people. we may instance the follow
ing as its unchallenged record of achieve
ments
1. Its successful prosecution of the war
for national life and unity.
2. The abolition of slavery in the Repub-
lie.
3. The enfranchisement Of the blacks
and their protection in all civil and political
rights by fundamental law.
A. A judicious financial policy which
saved the country from general bankruptcy
at the close of the war, and which, by sus-
tanning and building up all u chief Ameri-
can industries, is slowly but surely bring.
ing us back to a solid specie basis, in all
our commercial, manufacturing, and indus
| trial activities.
Now, a party which has such an unchal.
lensed record as this, must be invincible
before the present disorganized forces Of
the Democracy, whose political a~ntecedents
have been such as to drive the
very best and ablcst men in its ranks into
open hostility to its perverted principles,
and especially to the secession heresies
which it 80 improvidently advocated during
and Immediately succeeding the late war
The Republican party goes into the ield
with the reclamation Of the people, and q
universal recognition of its rightful claim to
the achievements we have named.
1t has 10 load of national odium under
which it is compelled to stagger. It's re.
cord is bright and lustrous, while dark ant
reasonable stains disfigure the escutcheor
OF its oppo nents. As the old Federalists
went down in ignominy after the termina.
ton of the war of 1912, so the Democracy
in name at least, must disappear under the
more terrible popular odium which now
attaches to its unfortunate record. No new
departure will save them, nor will any such
" mantle of charity" as the old
white coat of Mr.. Greeley cover their
political sins of the last twelve
years continuance. They are a doomed
party, and the sooner they recognize the
fact, and cease to challenge the suffrages Of
the people as against the Republicans, the
better it will be for them, and the more
successful will be their organization under
the only 6 reconstruction they stand in
need of-that of principle and policy for
