The Ford, the organ of the putrid
Tammany ring in New York, bawls
out: "JVe have not only triumphed
in New York, but have carried Vir-
i ginia, carried Wisconsin, carried
Texas etc. Who are tive" that
have achieved SO many wonderful
things, and what do ''we" want? Are
"we' John Morrissey, prize.tighter,
who want the stake-money? Or are
1--WE" r.. NJ. T. Hunter. who want
S4OOOOO,OOO from the public treasury
for our lost niggers? Or are eve a
ring of confidence gamblers who want
10 empty the treasury into our pockets
on pretense of digging new Missis-
sippi through the Allegheny noun
tains ?-Chicago Times.
This language is pretty rough, but
yet as natural as life with the Times.
The World and Times differ just
this far. They both understand and
know that they both seek the triumph
of the old Democratic party. They
differ. however, greatly in the course
10 be pursued, and like a couple Of
pettifoggers, pitch into each other
soundly.
The Ford would restore the DEM
ocracy to power under the old flag
and name, and this may be the most
promising course to pursue. in the
East.
The Times sees gains TO Democra-
cy through the political Changers. and,
therefore, does not fight under the old
name.
The policy Of each is different. but
the end sought. the same.
La looking over the result of the re.
cent elections as they bear upon the
United States Senate, We have very
favorable result for The Republicans.
Senator Eugene Casserly, a Democrat,
will probably be succeeded by Cover
nor Booth, q Republican, in California.
Reuben f. Fenton, (LiberaD Of New
York, will retire, and a Republican
lake his place. John p. Stockton
Democrat, of New Jersey, will also
give way TO Republican. Alexander
Caldwell (Republican) of Kansas, viii
he succeeded by 4 Republican. In
Wisconsin even il is highly probable
and indeed almost certain that Re.
publican will succeed Mat. II. Carpen-
ter. Mississippi will return q Repub-
Iican in the place of Adelburt Ames,
(Rep.) In Ohio, Thurman, (Dem.)
will succeed himself, and in Virginia
alone, will there be loss of Repnb-
lican by the return Of Democrat in
the place of John F. Lewis (Rep.)--
Maryland stands the same as hereto
fore. So in New York, New Jersey,
and California, we make an actual gain
of one member in each State, while
we lose but one unless it may be
claimed that we msy lose the Wiscon.
sin Senator.
1t may be remarked, too, that in the
result there is plain showing that the
measure of reducing the cost Of trans
portation is strongly lndorsed.
The Burlington Ha,cheye, we are
sorry TO note, makes bold to quote four
words from an article of ours, and
makes its Interpretation of their appli-
cation. which the editors of that pa
per, it seems TO us, must have known
misrepresented us. we had a little |
tilt with the Hdwkeye, IN which we
quoted at length the position of that /
paper. in its own language. We are
not thus favored when the Haacheye
actArns the criticism. On the contrary
that paper follows that line of criti-
cisra which might show the minister
in the pu4pit to have been guilty of
profanity By quoting three or four
words of his in which he used the
name Of his Creator. This is sort OF
erratic mode of argument, which to
draw it mildly, ia as crooked and in
compfeiaensiblc as the movements Of
a side-wheei ateamer minus one of its
wheeia.
According To the New York World,
the platform of the opposition is
Free Trade, Specie Payments ana
Farmers Rights Anything to beat
he Republicans. |,
