HORACE GREELEY.
From the Philadelphia North Anne. ican
(Republcan).
The victory in October is suspic-
ious of still more glorious triumph
in November. After the storm oil
calumny and abuse that has been
heaped upon Gen. Grant and the
Republican party, this trial before
the people will exercise 4 whole
some effect in cleaning the political
atmosphere.
From the Chicago times. (Dem).
TIE verdicts that are thus render
ed by these three great States is
positively final as to MIR. Greeley's
prospects of election. He Is quite
as much defeated as if the elections
of November were over and the off
cial returns received to prove him in
a contemplate minority. His most
sanguine supporters have scarcely
claimed that he could be elected un-
less the coalitionists carried two ont
OF the three principal States that
voted on yesterday, and now that
they have not carried one, his fate is
absolutely settled.
From the Philadelphia Age. lDeml.
The plan of battle of the enemy
was so plain that the contest of yes
tcrday can he very simply ,old. Our
State was the focus to which were
drawn all the means and appliances
by which Radicalism has long main
tanned its sway; all the machinery of
public corruption was put in motion
But this was vastly augmented when
the State and, as they were always
insisting, the national issues requi.es
success They used the names, as
well as the purses. of the wealthy
citizens, who were content to barter
good administration and honest gov
ernment in State and city for n tran

candidates The Federal government
made itself a party to thecontest, with
all its resources, and President
Grant, cheek by jowl with Simon
Cameron, appeared on the scene, land
from the balcony of the Continental
Hotel made a speech for Hartranft.
This immense aggregate of political
influence and corruption has wrung
from manipulated ballot boxes the
vote which we present to- day in our
columns

Itwould be folly to allege that the
great majority for Hartranit is the
offspring of fraud We believe it To
be a legitimate majority-the growth
of several causes that lie so plainly
on the surface of the contest that all
may understand and study. Gen.
Grant pulled This ticket through. Iu
any ordinary con est it would have
been beaten out of sight; but his
name AMI the fear that its defeat
would damage him in November

eyes to the proffs we daily spread
before them, aud constrained many
to testify to the deservings of candi- |
dates of questionable record, Ten.

SO doubly sure that Mr. Greeley's
friends will simply perform the rou
