we aulnlt tHat appearances luulcate
a great reverse to the National Demo
cratic party. But this ought to have
been anticipated. 1t must be borne in
mlnd that the triumphs which resulted
to the Democrats last year in SO many
States were achieved against our oppo-
nents in consequence of the disgust of
their best men at the Radical rascality
which had been developed to such all
alarming extent. Hence the whole
vote CT neither of the two great parties
was polled; and the triumphs of last
year ought not to have been considered
as q sure indication of success this year
Again, the election of so many local
officers by the Democrats last year, IN
all the States, no doubt had a counter
acting effect this year. 1t is probable
that many of these people were rather
arrogant and offensive in their
manners, and damaged the prospects
of Democrats very much. 1t will be
perceived, too, that the elections were,
with tive or three exceptions, all local,
and had no direct bearins upon Ma
tional affairs Where there were Con-
cressmen to be chos-n the Democrats
elected them. me Presidential ques-
ton did mot enter the field, except it
~as perhaps in New York, where Mr..
Iilden's prospects may have been pur.
posely set back by some in his own
State in return for the attacks the
World made upon the Ohio Democrats
This, in addition to the money of the
corrupt Canal Ring, and the union of
the Republican party with John Nor
.essy, in New York city, whom only a
week or two before they stigmatized
as the prince of Gamblers" and the
eader of roughs, Effected what poor
success the Radicals have attained in
the Empire State. 1t will be all right
next year and give its vote to the Dem.
ocratic candidate for the Presidency.
TO doubt.
We were beaten in Pennsylvania by
fraud and cheating at the polls. There
Will be no Governor to elect there next
year, and thousands of Republicans who
we're interested iii the local contests
;nis year will then be found voting
against Grant and the Radical party
that has almost bankrupted the country.
1t could not be expected that the
Democrats could secure and hold all
Inc local offices they carried last year,
and when the smoke of the battle clears
away, it will be found, we hope, that
oar party has retained a pretty good
share Of them.
The Democrats now start into the
Presidential race, with "a confidence
mat their party has, s,grown in numbers
and strength to cope with the enemy
4 the Republic everywhere. Look at
me tremendous increase Of our vote in
Ohio. No one can expect Ohio to vote
i0r the Radicals at the Presidential
election. Her people will not endorse
Radical corruption. Had it not been
Tor the local questions in tnat State
hlo would have given the Democrats
q heavy majority in October
Since writing the above later news
las more fully confirmed our imprc $
sons. As will be seen elsewhere, from
various dispatches, the Democrats have
-arried the state of New York by
1000 majority, and have only been
Jeaten in the State of Pennsylvania by
Pilgrim frauds in Philadelphia, where
10000, illegal votes were placed upon
lIe registry lists, and time allowed
20 have only 10000 struck off by the
courts.
