The Journal commenting on the result
SAYS. ct is significant overthrow 10 many
senses, but it does not mean that the Old demo-
cratic party has taken even temporary lease
If mower 10 Massachusetts. Thousands OF re-
mblicaps voted Yesterday with the democrats
because they were dissatisfied with grievances
which are mainly the outgrowth OF Bullcrlsm.
This tceiug 10 itself is sufficient to account Tor
the change that has taken place, when We
couple with this special objections which thouS'
ands urge against all sumptuary laws, we have
the leadlug causes of the route. That the result
is disastrous to the republican organization as a
party it would be folly to deny. The loss OF
Couyressmen, from whatever cause 1t may
have arisen is most damaging especially 10
view of victories accomplished by the oppo-
ucnts of the administration 10 other States.
That it denotes important changes IN the poll
,cal future of the country is cerialu. Inc
Advertiser SAYS: But part Of the falling OH,
and not a small part, was directly oWlug ~
causes for which the administration IS response

chusetts. They have had severe experience ol
what it costs to be loyal TO the party during the
past ~ mouths They have seen the power OF
organization passing luto the control OF men
for whom the people however respect. They
have seen important federal offices IN this
State manipulated for private euds III violation
OF the rules of the civil service and studied
contempt of their advice aud Judgment. They
have seen the party machinery taken possession
! Of by recipients of executive favor and Used to

timidate all candidates Ior Office who would not
affiliate With them. Their scheme OF atlaylng
the party with the temperance question has
been tried and it has failed disastrous

to say they cared not TO CONTINUE the farce any
longer \ reduction Of the aggregate repub-
licau vote for Cougressmeo by 10000 or oO ,0Oo,
aud the loss of a majority OF the delegation IS
the only answer it was IN their power to make,
to what they have locked upon as grave
misuse of executive patronage. The defeat
Of some of our members Of Congress is to
be deeply regretted, but it is the price we
have to pay for what We devoutly trust will re-
| suit 10 the political regeneration OF the com
mouwealth. ;.
