Consequently the Republicans called a Con-
vontio',, and nominated ticket representing
the three great olements, viz. Americans,
Germans, and Iriah, nntl p'acel It before tho
people and resolved to make for 1t tho host
fight In their power. Thousands OF antt-
Know-Notling Democrats can,c to their as-

MI. HFsING's VIEW OF THE MATTER.
Tfr !HhH'.ZtitHna yesterday. presumably
speaking for Mr.. lIislSs', nccr1'ts thc rchs,lt
cf the election ir spirit anything Int recon.
rifcl nnd conciliatory. Charity suggests.
howeyer, tl,at so sore and trying disappoint-
n,ent should lie forgiven M onthnrst Of i'll
temper. l}ut, passing over tho nspcrities OF
tho Sttuts-Iatnng's comments, there nrc sonlo
points in il which have peculiar Significance.
It Etl,nits. for instance. tie tinnl rupture Of
thu condition of thc German and irish VOTERS.
which atr. 1E1:s1St: nns the St1nts.ztHYny l,Ml
brought n(,out. 1t attributes l1Es1S0' tlefcRt
to the trenrhtry Of tho Irish, ai.1 ns1sls:
"Tlero will scarcely ever ngaiN BE- q thought
Of Il coalition lilo Tint Of two years ngo; The
recollection ri tho si1e trcaclcry ryncticch
yesterday will mt easily permit of mutual
confidence hereafter" This IL tho most i'm
II s.-t.o
have commented elsewhere On its Significance
and tl,e public benefit likely to cnsuo there
frnu. We need only sny hero TINT tho
subsequent clnrgoof tho Stsats-Zfitang, that
tho result nttests revival of tho Know-Notl-
ing sentiment Of 1854. is dctntcd cilhcr hy
gross prejudice or willfn1 misrepresentation.
All tue know-Sothingisn wns OH the other
side III Tho attempt to maintain n coalition of
the forcjgn.born citizons. us confessed by tho
faiuro nnd tho best proof Of tie entiro nh
sc,co Of amy s'1cf purpose on tho successful
side III tho fact tlat two representatives Of
The foreign e1cmcnt-1lcssrs. 11ucx md
lIE.Lr-wcrc chosen to lilo principal piaecs
on tho Republican ticket.
On par with this Misrepresentation il tie
assertion TINT 'tho victory Of tho Know
Notlings in this county election will bo
looked upon by them ns the forernncr of
their victory in tho next city election (April.
1876, and that, in the event Of st,cll vic
tory, will follow tho enforcement Of tho
State Temperance Inv md the city Sunday
ordinance" Mr.. l1Es1Sa and The editor Of
the Staats-ZGtHug both know very well that
tho temperance question md tic sun-
lny question wcro not in issuo in
tho campaign, md will not be in
tho spring election. Tho choice Of
AR. Hrcr, tho son of ono Of tho oldcst brow
crs in tho city, and himself 1naltstcr, is suf-
ticient answer to thia. The Sunday question
is settlad for many yoars to como. Tho Ger
mans have gnined their victory in that fight.
Tho Republican party did not oppose them
at tho time, and it certainly has no intention
OF doing SO in tho future.
AS to Alr. lIucK, TIN St.'ats.Zdtun9 express
cs itself AZ satisfied TINT ho will administer
Tho Office honestly, though it docs not ualso
the admission In very gracious manner, md
it refers in contemptuo,ls terms to lite Ger
,nans who hare exercised their right Of sup
porting and voting for him. All this, how
ever, is probably the result Of honted cam-
paign which Aas not yet had time enough to
cool OF.
