The Belfast Journal. the strongest
democratic paper in the State, in COM
menting upon the recent Election, makes
SONS plain talk about the mistakes OF its
party. The first Was, IL says, in the
candidate In his swu words: The
candidate OF coalition should be ons
the even aud temperate tenor OF whose
way had not taught one portion % his
supporters TO hate the other. That mis-
takes, very serious ones, were made AT
Cincinnati. is psinfully appsrent-but not
moro porceplible aOw to portion OF
those who became Mr.. Greeley's sup
porlers than when his nomination wSs
iresh.'
The second difficulty was in the plat
form. The editor says: III We turn
from the candidate to the platform, We
ale scarcely better satisfied. The lead
ing idea, that Of pacifcstion of the
country, met appreciation on All hands.
But the principal poin. concerning the
ordinary administration of the govern
msnt, should have been that OF reduc'
tion of the tariff t@ reasonable rates.
Tbs democratic party expected it, tue
country wanted 1t. There was no good
reason why the question of. tariff more
than any other should be svadsd by con-
signing it 10 the people OF The congress
sional districts. Ii compelled the rresi-
DENTAL candidate to declare. champion OF
high tariff as he is, that he wonld approve
and sign any bill on the subject vhieh
might be passed although opposed TO
his views. 1t was practically saying
that rs President he would have no ap.
prevail or dsapprovsl in matters concern
ing which the constitution declares that
he shsll have and exercise one or The
other. The people of the larger portion
Of the country were hungering tor the
bread of low tariff, and were given the
stone OF non eommittalism.'
II the journal bad been honest enough
10 avow the above sentiments before tho
election, and not have deceived il,
readers by concsaling them. thOy would
have less cause TO complain. Anything

The Sham Candidate and Sham

tic coalition or democratic party, in
tie canvass, from is inception TO its close,
Was sham and nothing else. In other
words, il was unreal, untrue-not sincere,
but Jdlse all through.
In the first place, the Liberal Republic

sham for ne democratic party to keep

speakers TO do al the speaking, that the
people might not see the "hoofs and
horns" beneath the jackass skin. 1t was
a sham Tor the democratic party to dc
nounce Tammany for it's frauds, and then
vote for It's nominees at the election.
