What AIex. Thinks.

1t is we'll known that Alex. NJ Clure,
editor of the Philadelphia Times, an
"independent" paper, desired the sue
cess Of the Democracy at the late cleo
tion, yet after he finds his efforts in
vain, he goes on to tell few of the
rea sons, which, in his opinion con-
aributed.to the defeat of that party:
"But, while Governor Hartrant's
personal merits did much to save
debauched political leadership from a
Waterloo defeat, the comedy of blum
ders played by his enemies with such
blind, persistent awkwardness was the
main element of the canvass that
saved him. Madness ruled the Dem
ocracy from the day it entered upon
the practical work of the contest.
While its lines wore difused among
the people, it was inviDcible for the
struggle to every dispassionate mind !;
but when it was called into action,
it came, not as an army prepared to
fight a desperate battle, but as a riot.
oIs, discordant and selfish mass of
hungry mendicants, who were intent
only upon dividing the raiment of the
people upon the mere shadow of
Democratic victory. Antony and
Cesar had parties, but Democracy
had none, and in bewildering confu-
sion platforms were considered solely
as clsp.trap inventions to delude the
people for day, and nominations
were rushed through in the midst of
midnight orgies which wonld have
shained a crowd of average down
town Councilmen. Like the lieuten-
ants OF Alexander, when his crown
awaited the succession, the leaders con-
fused the councils of the party with
the harsh jars of the conflicts of petty
ambition, and there were noneTto rally
the great mass of the people who most
sincerely desired to achieve positive
triumph for reform, And from the
Babel Of tongues at Erie the. party
was flung out upon the sea of strife
without rudder or without
organization or leadership, and doom
ed to wither under palpable ineficiep
cy in every vital channel" ."7qi igBsh

The Philadelphia Ledger, which
deals with election returns in the
most profound and able manner, treat
5ag the occult relations of victor and
vanished with a tenderness and delica-
cy rarely equaled, and never excelled,
offers the following words of wisdom
and sympathy over our triumph: "The
victors of yesterday will, of course, be
rejoicing to-day. This is the natural
order of events, but the vanished will
have the consolation of knowing that
neither the city, nor the State, nor the
country will be half so badly rui
as some of their Imaginative spo
men during the canvass seemed to
think" This, however, is not the
brightest gem from the Ledger on the
result. Its poetic muse was in splen.
did mood, and, after surveying ten.
derly the corpse of the dead Democ-
racy, it broke forth in the following
beautiful and touching refrain. The
expression cher as applied to the
Democracy, will be understood 20 be
mere poetic license: - ,..-s4 f.I
Afiliction sore long time she bore, "
Physicians were in vain,
Till God at last did hear her moan, ii
And eased her of her pain.

We desire to be perfectly loyal
to Republican principles, and are.
Yet we do not see any special occa-
sion for grief over the defeat of Ames
in Mississippi. If the Democracy
must shoot and murder, we prefer they
should do it under a StategOvernment
run by them, rather than under a
weak Republican, who hasn't the
nerve to do his duty like man.

"A dispath from Hazleton, Pa,
of October 9th, says:-James Phil
lips, Of Tobahanna township, on Mon
day went out on the Pocono mountain
hunting deer. His dogs started a
buck, and drove it in the direction of
the great swamp known as the Shades
Of Death. Phillips followed. After
walking a mile or so he heard the
hounds coming toward him again, and
soon afterward saw something disturb
ing a clump of bushes about fifty
yards away. After watching the
movement Of the bushes for some time
he fred into them. The movement of
the bushes ceased. Before he could
go to the spot the buck came bound
ing along to his left, and disappeared
in the swamp before he could fire. He
then walked to the bushes, and was
horritied to discover the body of lit
tie boy about nine years old. The
body was riddled with buckshot, and
was lying 10 pool of blood. A small
basket, half filed with beech nuts,
stood short distance from where the
child lay. The boy was an orphan,
and lived with German family nam
ed Sheibel.
