The treatment of Gov. Tilden, who was not
candidate at oil, and Of John Kelly, who
was not q candidate either, and OF half
dozen other honest politicians we might

gust from political controversies Even phi

issues of the campaign have been peited with

THE my tETJE.

Nobody who walks the streets of Newly ork
in The early morning can have missed the be-
lated roysterer, rs he makes his devious way
homeward after a nights debauch. He is not
a pleasant sight His step is heavy and I'M
certain. His rainent is stained and disarrayed.
The mark sof mud are on his best coat, and
even his hands are uncomnonly dirty. He
has a sad headache and an acid stomach
There is no luster in his glazing eye. Every
trace Of the nights excitement has died
out of his s0dden face. and profound
it. lie looks upon to-day with melancholy
and remembers last evening with rcmorse
The speeches, the songs, the ribald jcsts, over
which he clapped and shouted with the Others,
how wretched and degrading they all seem a.
he recalls them in the dyspeptic pcnitcnce Of
the day after If he had only been decent
and moderate and gone home quietly at a
Christian hour
There are not few party journalists and
campaign orators who remind us inst now Of
the sorry aud dishcvelod roysterer. Beaten
OF victorious they will soon be almost equally
doleful. They have spent month or
two in excuses which no man likes to
remember when lac is sober: Instead
OF sensbly discussing the differences between
parties and weighing the personal merits Of
candidates. they have surfeited themselves
with courses of scurriity and got roaring drunk
OH venom and abuse. The indecency with
which Mr. Bgclow, for instance, has been
pursued because he preferred the Demo-

have seen for many years, is suddenly con-
frontcd with hostile Legislature. A. first
sight his hands appear to be completely tied.
But his situation may prove not 80 bad MS it
seems. The hostile Legislature must take the
responsibility, either OF helping or hindering
his work. In tho one case, Tor all
public interests he is as strong IA ever. In the
other, he has a dangerous political advantage
in forcing his opponents to take the lead and
assume the responsibility, and in being able to
meet hostile acts with a steady fire OF vetoes
which would command the instant and cordial
approval of the State and Of the whole coun-
fry

TIKI RrFORM VICTORY IL BROOKLYN.

TIE REFORM VICTORY N BROOhLfN.
II is matter of great congratuation that the
ruin which for three years past has threatened
the Brooklyn Ring has at length been accom-
plished at the polls. Two years ago it
saved itsclf from the fate which has now
overtaken it only by taking up pronounced
rcformer "a its candidate for Mayor. This
wear Mr.. Mclaughlin WAS bold enough to
mt forward candidate in his own interest
against q pronounced rcformcr. AS Mr.
Hunter saved the Ring two years ago only be-
cause of his past prominence as rcformer, so
MIR. Schroeder defeats it this year solely be
cause Of his past actions in that character and
the reliance of the people i'll his protestations
for reform. Mr.. Hunter, hampcIcd by Albany
legislation in the Ring interest, has been unable
10 reform all of the abuses which it may nat
urally be expected Mr.. Schroeder, with favorable
legislation to back him, will correct MIR. Hunter
b. rcmodclng the Commissions, and the press
by its exposures OF the corruption of the Ring
contractors, accomplished much. Together
they put a stop to the stealing at any rate,
and Mr.. Schroeder may be trusted, as
he will certainly be expected, to see
that it is not resumed. The Ring was
preparing to do precisely that when the storm
of Tuesday overlook and overwhelmed them.
Mr. Schroeder has an opportunity which we
trust he will employ to the final discontinue
of McLaughlinism in al its features.
He ia now backed by a majority OF
the Board of Aldermen and Supervisors,
it happening that for the first time
Brooklyn is Republican in the executive
and legislative branches of its government.
MIR. Schroeder has also Republican Sheriff be-
hind hin-a coincidence at once suggestive
and gratifying. -Four of the nine Assembly
men elected and one Of the two Senators are
also of Nj. Schroeder party, ard this insures,
let lis hope. some Improvement IN the future
legislation at Albany regarding Brooklyn. In
the past that city hats suffered almost rs much
ms New-YoIk from special legislation in Demo-
cratic Ring interests.
Ii is to be regretted hat the reform triumph
in Kings County was not made complete by
the election OF the Republican candidates for
Commissioners Of Charities. This Office has
been conducted in the past IN a shameless
manner, and investigation, We are assured,
would show that in many respects IT has been
grossly corrupt. The election also OF the Ring
candidate for Supcrysor-atLarge somewhat
cools the general joy in Kings County, bat
still the victory is one over which the citi-
gcns of Brooklyn have great cause TO rejoice.

LEGISL1TITE EETOR.N.

For such Senators rs Robertson, Carpenter,
Coleman and Rogers, We owe the Republican
marty thanks; but rs for Woodin, Selkrcg,
ycddcr, Harris, Morrissey, and BIxby--!!
Do You doubt the Canal Ring allegiance to
the Republican ticket? Jarvis Lords county
sends n Senator and three Assemblymen, all
Republicans; Belden and Denison's county
gains 800 Republican votes; Willard John
sons county sends three Republican Assembly
men. These are the people whom the Repub-
licans are helping to rebuke Samuel j. 1Ilden
Not long ago there seemed to be Reform
revival in this State, and one OF its effects, it
was hoped, would he TO elevate the character
of the representatives of the metropolis at
Albany. and perhaps TO purify the whole at
mospbcre of the capital. What has been the
result of tho alliance Of the party that was
once led by Lincoln, Greeley, and Chase, with
tho canal thieves and John MOrrissey /!
Every prominent striker and jobbcr nomi-
mated for the Senate by this combination
goes back TO Albany. John II. Selkreg goes
back; William b. Woodin goes back; Com
modore Z. Vedder goes back. Every Canal
Ring town shows largo Republican gains, and
tho Assembly is reversed by the votes OF
thieves. And what of this cityf For the Sen
ATE two such honest gentlemen rs James DAILY
and Everett Z. Wheeler are defeated, and the
Republicans elect a gambler like Mo1lsscy, Il
scalawag like Bixby, and an igpOIamus- Ike
Baden. TO Che Assembly they aid in sending
such men as Felix Murphy, I. Carly, and Geo.
Y. Whson. The successful Tammany nominees
are not much better, and the Republican list docs
not show single name of any weight, except
those of DR.. Hayes and Mr.. Peabody-for
whom all thanks! The upshot of it ell Is that
this great city is to be represented in the main
by q crowd OF strikers and nobOdies. while the
State Senate ia still to be deiiled with the
presence of veteran cOrruptiOnists. That IL
what the Republican victory in the Legisla-
ture amounts to.

There are very few changes of any import
ancc from the figures Of the election returns
in Yesterdays TRIBUNE. Tho most re-
cent dispatches reduce the majority OF
the Democratic vote for Mr.. Bigelow
as Secretary of the State of New iork
to little over 1000. The Republicans
have undoubtedly elected sufficient number
of candidates to the Legislature of :his State
to give them two-thirds vote in the Senate
and working majority in the House,
thus changing the political complexion OF
the latter. In Pennsylvania the majority
for Gov. Hartranft will perhaps quite reach
TIE TRIBUNE estimate of yesterday OF To-
900. the present figures summing up l3,ooo,
with some probability OF increase. FROM
Massachusetts there appears no essen
tial change in thc 5000 majority fcI
Mr.. Rice tho Republican candidate Tor
Governor. The Republicans have also made
large gains in the Massachusetts Legislature ];
the increase in both Houses nearly doubling
their majority Oh joint ballot. In New
Jersey the Republicans lose two, mem
,bers in the Senate, but get control OF
the House from the Democrats, who heid
it last year. Late returns throw doubt over
the majority assigned to the Democratic can
didate for Governor of Maryland but no
new figures are determined. The kepuo-
lean triumph in Wisconsin certainly in

While il seems evident that white voters in

In their endeavor to have Il Receiver of their
own choosing appointed, the depositors of the
Third Avenue Savings Bank are likely to have
public sympathy. Whatever the lawyers may
think about it, nothing appears palmer to most
people than that those who own the assets of
the broken bank ought to have the control of
them. The very fact that at best these depos-
itors-mostly persons of small ineans-must
lose considerable portion OF their little saw
ings, should cause their wishes to be consulted
in gathering the fragments that remain.

The story of the Dclancoy-st. duel reads
more like "a bloody chapter from a dime novel
than PLAIN narrative of an actual occurrence in

two men who quarreed over petty sum Of
money, and could do no better than shut them
selves up in ten by fifteen room and shoot
each other to death with pistols. 1t was a
very strange transaction, but upon the whole.
10 long as il was in them to do murder, ii was
quite as well for them to kill each other as to
kill somebody else.
