RETROSPECTIVE.

The most significant fact taught by
TUESDAYS election is that the Republican
party is composed of a most intelligent, IN
dependent body of reading, thoughtful vo-
tiers, When Greeley, Sumner, Trumbull,
Schurz, Banks, Julian and Curtin left the
great party that has SO successfully ana
Justly administered the Government for
twelve years, we were told that the Re
publican organization was broken and It's
scepter of power to pass from it forever.
When these leaders were followed by that
syndicate of newspapers, the New York
Tribune, Springfield Republican, Chicago
Tribune and Cincinnati Commercial, the
Democracy felt certain that their time
for victory had come.
Our readers Will bear testimony to the
fact that then, and ever since, the CHRoN-
IcLE said these men and papers would
have no great following. Has not the re-
suit verified our prediction Look back
and recall the loud boasts of the Greeley
press and then take up the election returns
of last Tuesday, and how has that vain
Dragging been fulfilled? Where are the
voters these assumed leaders and vain
newspapers carried with them? The
glorious victory we have won shows en-
phatically that the Republican voters of
this country do their owp thinking and
voting. They are not led about by Sum-
ner or the New York Tribune. They do
not sneeze when Trumbull or the Spring
field Republican take snuff. Greeley may

get mad about the distribution of offices
and the Cincinnati Commercial may think
Nellie Grant buys too many fine clothes,
or that Fred. Grant receives too much at
tention abroad, but Republicans do not,
therefore, rush into the arms of sueh cor
rupt fellows as Fenton, Jim Ashley
or Alex. Mcclure under the delusion that
by them or through them alleged abuses
are to be reformed. .&F ( : L
If no other good results from the victo-
ries we now celebrate, they will serve to
give such public servants as we have re-
ferred to, to understand that the people
make them, and follow them only when
they are right. When they get wrong and
assume too much, they will soon get their
rebuke. When great leaders fall, they
have further to drop than less assuming
men, and therefore great bis the fall o.

THIS is the kind of stuff Democratic pa
pers print to explain their terrible defeat
of Tuesday. The Nashville Union and
american says:
That these elections have been carried by the
wholesale use of money-the peoples own
money used to stife all their mobiles instincts-is
terribly evident and affords frightful proof OF
the corruption that reigns supreme over this
once bright land.
The honest fact is, that the business
men. the manufacturers and the working
men carried Ohio and Pennsylvania. The
latter class never before received such
good wages or enjoyed such general pros
perity. Business men and manufacturers
feared the uncertainties and changes that
Greeley's election would bring. These
were the main considerations that gave
the Republicans such significant MAORI.
ties, and all talk about the intelligent peo'
pie of these three great states being 6ough
by money is an insult to them and poo
compliment to the sense of the readers tina
accept such shameful lies as true.

IT is a significant fact, as shown 10y The

Democratic gains have been in the cities
