The Presidential Election,


The New York papers of Wednesday various
ly comment on Tuesdays election:
The Herald editorally says that whether the
result will be accounted for by the popular
strength of General Grant on the one hand,
the weakness OF Greeley and the feebleness of
the Liberal Republicans, combined with the
Democratic bolt on the other hand, it is in
many respects the most remarkable of any
Presidential election in the history of the
country
The Sun says that the Liberal Republicans
have been faithful to their pledges but the Dem
ocrats have beaten Greeley by not coming out
to vote.
The Tribune says it will be an independent
paper in the future as it has been through the
campaign, without reference to the demands of
party managers or the decisions of party eau
cuses. In another editorial it says: "The Lib
eral movement was at one time formidable and
had prospect of success. Had not millions
been expended to arrest its progress in the
State elections of the last three months it might
have swept the country. The Liberal Republi-
can strength in North Carolina. Vermont and
Maine, was nearly neutralized by the Demo-
Gratis who wouldn't eat crow when they could
get five to twenty dollars each for not eating it.
There was nothing purchasable in the Key
stone State that was not bought The Tribune
gives Grant 260 electoral votes at the lowest, and
81 for Greeley with the rest doubtful There
is scarcely parallel, it says, in the complete.
ness of the rout and triumph. 1t argues that
Liberalism could not withstand the enormous
OUTLAWS of money expended by the Republicans
in the canvass. Gen. Grant now has four years
more of power, with heavy Congressional ma
jorities and in whatever reform he may seek to
effect he will have the aid of the Tribune.
The World places Grants popular majority
at 100000 1t says that defeat is due to the
Democracy surrendering to Greeley, that the
Generalization consequent upon the New York
ring populations year or two ago. dishearten-
ed the party and caused the nomination at Bal
timore, and that the party had not recovered in
time from the Yammany faint to do anything
until too late.
The Herald further says: Whatever of popu-
lar strength was promised the Democracy in
this city from Greeley's nomination was lost in
the unwse and inopportune nomination of Ker-
man," The Herald adds: ''Greeley's popular
ity throughout the country was unduly magni-
fled from the outset by his too enthusiastic ad-
mrers, and their estimates of his followers from
the Republican camp were preposterous On
the other hand it is equally true that the Dem
ocratic rank and file never responded SO care
lesSly or flippantly to Democratic Presiden-
tal ticket.
The Times says: The result has shown that
Intriguing politicians are unequal to the task of
deceiving the people and that dishonest COM
binations of discordant factions are always re-
sented with peculiar intensity.

JBTFUL OR NOT HEARD FROM

In the above table we concede Louisiana to
Mr.. Greeley, though it is by no means certain,
and his majority in Kentucky will be found
to be very small
The Republicans have gained Congressman
in nearly every State. In New York the Re-
publicans elect twenty-three members to ten
Democrats. The present delegation lands
fifteen Republicans and sixteen Democrats.

A Survey of the Field.

The first bulletins of the battle field are us
ually toned down by full official reports. So
the first estimates of political victory dwin-
die with the actual count. The first Apo
mattox was an exception tn the first general
rule, and Gen. Grants majorities, as report
ed by the several States, as large and even
startling as they were reported Tuesday night
are increased in every State by fuller returns.
An idea of the magnitude of the grand
victory may be obtained from the following
returns and reports of the various States up
to late hour Wednesday night:

Political Notes.

Gems. Woodford and Hawley were both
elected to Congress Tuesday.
In New York city the Democrats issued a
circular with cross at the head, urging
Catholics to vote for Herman.
1t is significant fact that Gen. Grant
whom, it was feared by many would injure
the party prospects and defeat it, has, in
every state where state was voted on Tues
day, run ahead of that ticket.

TENNYsoN's new poem, Gdreth and Lynett,
unlike the other ''Idyls of the King,'' is allie
gorcial. The hero, Sir Gareth, meets three
foes of reputed might and overthrows them in
turn after hard struggle. The first knight
is Morning STAR the second 'sNoon- Sum
and the third, most formidable of all, is
8 Evening Star. - But the fourth of
the brothers is shrouded in mystery.
and is called "Night' and sometimes
Death He rides in armor of deepest
black covered with emblems of mortality. He
is said to be huge man-beast of incredi-
BILE strength and ferocity, who dooms men,
women and babes, to indiscriminate, massa-
ere and even devours the flesh of infants. No
man has ever heard his voice; no man has
ever seen his face. When the time comes for
Sir Gareth to meet this formidable parsonage
his friends are filled with alarm and make
such suggestions as they think are best calcu-
ltted to secure his triumph and safety. But
when the dreadful hour of combat at length
arrives, Gareth easily overthrows the mon
ster knight and cleaying his helm discloses the
face Of no monster but "a blooming boy," as
fresh and beautiful as a rose. i hen the way
lay open to the city which the four brothers
guarded, and when all were arrived there,
great rejoicing was held over the glad discov-
cry that the being whom their imagination
had clothed with such awful attributes was,
after all, nothing but blooming boy. Thus
would the poet tell us that when the actual
conflict with death finally comes it is found
to be both terrorless itself and the means of
entrance into peace and comfort absolute.
