| The ticket to be elected this Autumn In
Missouri. by majority well nigh as large as
| the entire vote of some of the States, consists
of four Judges of the Supreme Court, all
Democrats, and Silas Woodson, Democrat,
| for Governor. The three remaining candidates
on the State ticket are Liberal Republicans,
and these have also Electors for seven OF the
Districts, and one ElectOr at Large The union
between the Democrats and Liberal Republic
cans in their Conventions yesterday seems
| most cordial.
| The withdrawal of his name by Gov. Hon-
man from any consideration in the canvass
| for Governor does not make any conslderao'e
change in the prospects of the Syracuse Coh,
ventions, since it has been well understooo
for some time past that he would not pe
candidate. He has been great favorite WIN
his party. and is fully justified in the grateful
reference he makes to the honOrs it has
bestowed upon him. The authorized announce
ment that Chief-Justice Church cannot con-
sent to the use of his name will produce
more marked change in the aspect of the con-
test for the nomination, and will be received
with profound regret by the many who had
set their hearts upon his candidacy.
Mr.. William Lloyd Garrison, in sneering at
Mr.. Greeley and bullying Mr.. Sumner, pre-
sumes upon the forgetfulness of his fellow
citizens. What claim he has to practical states
manship, how prepOsterOus were his prac-
teal methods of accomplishing results In
pOlitics, and how bold we're the secession and
disunion he preached, may be seen fairly re-
corded in an article by an unimpeachable wit
| ness on the second page of this issue. MT.
| Garrison is now one of the leading spokesman
| of the party which has held up Mr.. Greeley to
| scorn as an original disunionist. Read Mr..
| Garrison's own defiant disunon talk, and rise
to higher appreciation of the modesty which
| enables him to set himself up as judge in these
matters upon Mr.. Greeley or upon Mr.. Sumner
| or upon anybody.
There are no returns from West Virginia to
warrant the expression of any opinion what
ever as to the result of the election yesterday.
Many of the polling places are remote rom
railroads and telegraphs in other regions the
telegraphc wires have been Frustrated by the
storm. and even in Wheeling the length
of the ticket voted is so great that
the canvassers have found it impossible
to ascertain the result in time for the morning
papers. Both the candidates In the field for
Governor are Democrats, and support the LID
eral movement. There is, therefore, DO pohti-
cal significance in the election; but we snail
be sorely disappointed if it should prove that
the clause in the new Constitution, to be voted
on separately, which excludes colored men
from Office is not buried out of sight beneath
the popular condemnation.
Gen. Hartranft is best known to citizens OF
| Pennsylvania as O man denounced by the
| leaders of his own party for corruption, and
| convicted of private speculatiOns with public
| funds, A partner of his in these speculations
ia now expiating his crimes in the State Peni-
Tertiary. An associate is the representative OF
his State in the Grant National Committee, and
the author of the famous recommendation about
addition, division, and silence. Another of
his associates is the man who organized the
astounding frauds in election returns last Fall
in Philadelphia. Gen. Hartranfts opponent a
man of stainless private and public character
and of universally admitted ability, might
well begin his late address to the citizens of
Lancaster, whereof the substance is reproduced
this morning on our second page, by declar-
ing that the rallying cry of Reform in Penn
sylvania grew out of the situation, and could
not be missed. "DOwn with the Rings"-that
is the primary meaning of the contest in
Pennsylvania and it is most fortunate for the
cause of Reunion and Reform throughout the
nation that this critical preliminary struggle
goes forward under leader who commands
the respect of his enemies and the confidence
of honest men of all parties throughout the
State.
