THE PRESS ON THE PRESIDEN.
TIAL ELECTION.

"Let us have peace y is the almost
unanimous verdict of the nation.-Mont-
pelier Watchma'a.
Though defeated now in the choice of
a President, the party of reform and hon.
est government will not look upon this
national effort as labor thrown away
Boston Post.
With the most hearty good will the
American people have accorded to Gen.
Grants administration what it has asked
for, another four years trial. The peo-
pie have done their part. 1t remains
for the administration to Justify the act
by proving itself worthy of such gener-
Gus conidence.-Vermont Farmer.
The history of the country does not
afford parallel to the overwhelming
defeat meted out to the Greeley Demo-
cratic coalition on Tuesday. In no Sec
ton is there drawback to the complete
ness of the victory, the additional re-
turns only serving to increase Grants
majority Woodstock Standard
The defeat is so overwhelming, and
the victory so wonderful, that even the
most jubilant may we'll stand in amaze
ment at the most terrible rebuke the
American people have ever administered
to corrupt coalition and an infamous
bargain. The lesson is severe and SOL
emn. though we'll deserved.-Boston
Globe.
Our rooster is not feeling well, but
his illness is not unto death. A cod Gv-
er oil diet will bring him up. The re-
form hosts are beaten, but not dismayed.
The right will eventually triumph. 1t
may not be pleasant to watt but "what
cannot be cured must be endured" One
consolation is that that the fellow had
who dreamed he died and went to hell.
Looking about him, he saw numerous
imps stocking up the fires. "Well," says
he, cheat up your hell as hot as you
please; | can stand it as long as you
can, for there are great many more Of
you than of me- The moral is obvious
-Nontpelier Argus.
"Frauds. bribery, ballot-box stuffng
wholesale and retail purchase of votes, re.
peating, ETC." These and like phrase:
we leave to those editors who canno
swallow defeat. We do not need them
We can come right down at once anC
own up-can swallow the desc withou
the use of any of these lubricators 81
commonly used by the defeated party
We yield as gracefully as possible to tn
will of the majority. Had aOe won, on
bonires would have lighted our oppo
nents up Salt River We hope to SCI
their brilliant lights as we sail that dis
NAL watercourse on the ebb tide of tn
Greeley tidal wave.-Bawlingtom Dem
ocrat.
So far as the personal bearings of tn
, victory are concerned. they are of tn
most satisfactory character. The tactic
of calumny directed so outrageous
against President Grant, have, like Han
nibals elephants, turned and trodde
out the life of the ranks they were mean
to serve. The President wisely refrain
ed from indicating himself, but left tn
6 whole matter with the people The re
suit is one of which any of his illustri
!, Gus predecessors. even Washington hin
self might have felt proud. If it be sale
as it often has been, that Grant has nor
of the gifts-of eloquence, manners {
other snowy qualities-of popular favol
;. ites then all the more signal, conclusiy
:, and glorious is this attestation and il
dorsement of his countrymen.-Bosto
Journal.
