sand by which the Republican party
carried the State of New York last
year, replacing it by the Democratic
mojority of fifteen THOUSAND; making
gain of seventy thousand in one
yearl The Democratic victory in
Ohio, last month, important as that
was, was IS small local snow er COM
pared with a wide drenching rain.
We have not only triumphed in New
York, bnt have carried Virginia, car
ried Wisconsin, carried Texas, gained
handsomely in New Jersey, and re-
iuced the great Republican majority
of seventy-five thousand last year in
Massachusetts, to mere Insignificant
bagatelle. 5aa .za .asese
The revolution has fully set in by
which the Republican party Will be
oVerthroWn in every important State
in the Union as fast as elections are
held. A Democratic Congress will
be elected next year, and a Democrat
ic President in 1876 -. -s..s.
The righteous verdict which has
been pronounced againstithe gross in
competence and the scandalous COR
ruption of our Republican rulers, has
been FASTENED by the present financial
disturbances but the grounds of this
verdict were as clearly perceived by
many minds long before these troubles
cSmmeneed as they are to-day. The
mass of the people, however, arelnot
accustomed to foresee events in their
canses; they base their judgment on
accomplished facts ! but when they
see credit prostrated, business ruined
and industry arrested, they Justly
hold the Government responsible
when there is. no other cause to
which they can trace the disasters.
This is what has happened now The
tide was beginning to turn long be-
fore these financial disasters came on.
The discomfort of the agricultural
classes was forebodiDg symptom.
The universal cry against the salary
grab and kindred iniquities, was a
symptom of shaken condolences The
courage Of the Democratic party in
Ohio in making a square fight, evineed
growing popular sense that the Re-
publican party had slost its prestige
and was ceasing to be inyineible. The
financial crisis has only accelerated a
movement against the Administration
which was already well begun. But
even with the financial cricis as an ex-
PLANTATION, the work of yesterday will
fill the Republican leaders Withsaston-
ishment as swell as consternation,---
They cannot misread the fatal hand

The victory has been more splendid
in New York than in any other
State, because in New Y York the DEM
ocratic party had fhehoHesty and wis
dom to set forth its principles with
out any quailing hesitation. We bold
ly presented a platform in which
there was no trimming ambiguity, in
which we plainly told the people with
the most perfect ffankness and the ut
most distinctness what the policy is
which the party intends to pursue
when it comes into power. The peo-
Pile of the State have signified by their
votes, both their approval Of the pol
icy and of the honest -beldness with
which it is proclaimed. Had the
platform adopted by the Democratic
Convention at Utica, been less explicit
and couFageons,swe should have wit
messed no such triumph as the people
gave us yesterday. siie# s1sN 8
The success in Ohio made it certain
that the Democratic. party would
maintain its organization. iileI % Sd
The great victory in New York and
the important gains elsewhere make
it equally certain that 1THE NIGHT Is
FAR SPENT AND THE DAY Is AT HAND.'
