The Election.
FAIRBANKS MAJORITY $4,000.
MAJORITY INCREAsED
NEARLY 1000.

The Green Mountain State, the
"Star that never sets,' has again
spoken in no unmistakab.e tones
and said that the intelligent free
men within her borders are not vet
ready to surrender the government
into the hands of Southern men
who a few years ago attempted to
destroy the Union; or into the
hands of their allies-the dOughfac
ed Democrats of the North. The
rebel element In the National House
of Representatives, has so plainly
showed its purposes that the loyal
people of the whole country have
become alarmed. They see that the
same spirit Of rule or ruin crops
ont now among the Southern Dem
ocratic leaders as there did before
the rebellion. They also see that
the leading Democrats Of the North
are rs willing now to "bend the phi
ant knee" and tawn and crouch like
whipped hounds at the beck and
bid of the chivalrOus S0utherners,
as they were in pro slavery days.
Hence, Notwithstanding, the Demo
Gratis of the State have made the
most strenuous eXertOn to bring to
the polls all their reserved strength,
Vermont on Tuesday rolled up Il
larger Republican majority for Gov
eruor than for the last ten years.
The prime motive of the Demo
Gratis in the campaign has been to
reduce the Republican majority
from what it was two years ago
One of the party expressed this feel
ing tersely, when he said that he
"would be satisfied if they reduced
the ma jOrity one vote. That would
give Atkins n chance to bring out
his ROSTERS" Poor ROSTERS, they
will probably have to remain out OF
sight for some time, or come on,
head downwaras.
The effect of the glorious result
of the election in this State will
have a highly beneficial influence
upon the other States which are to
hold elections before November. We
believe that the Republicans of
Maine will roll up larger majority
than they would if Vermont had
not greatly increased hers, and the
increased majority in these two
States must have a powerful inhu
ence upon the November elections.
Republicans, while we rejoice and
are glad over the signal victory
which we have secured, let us not
cease work or "lay our armour by"
Our opponents are still active and
will keep striving until after the
Presidential election. The only way
for us is to continue to work vet
IA little while longer. we can, with
proper work, cast 5000 more votes
in November than we did in Sep
TENDER. We have only to say zee
uiN do 1t, and it will be done.
Below we give the vote complete
in Orange county, and summary
of the vote in other counties, so far
as they have come to hand:

New YORK. The Democratic
panty in the Empire State is in a
bad fix, as will be seon by reading
our New York letter. Another Con-
ventiOn has been called to meet on
Wednesday next. Who will be the
nominee no one dares predict. Sey.
mour has written q letter defining
his position, on which the Journal
remarks as follows:
The miserable-and toward uO.
ratio Seymour the cruel farce
which was perpetrated by the Dem
ocratic managers at Saratoga has
been played out. Seymour, resent
ing, doubtless, the trick of which
he was to be the victim, as well as

the Magones and the Spriggses who
t1ourished so prominently in the
Saratoga Convention; OH good au-
thOrity it is stated that the propO
sition to suppress Seymour's decIi.
nation was submitted by telegraph
to Gov. Tilden himself, and was ap'
dby him. He, then, made him
self party to the whole conspira-
cy. and showed that he was ready
to sacrifice Seymour and to falsify
the facts of the case in order to pro
mote his own interest-althOngh, as
generally happens in such instances,
he miserably failed in the whole
scheme.
Possibly this is one reason why
Seymour, throughout his letter. has
no word of compliment for the cho-
sen standard-bearer of his party.
He makes the best appeal he can in
behalf of qualified success of the
Democracy, but he does not praise
the candidates..

2. In 1867, Tilden having been
in control one year and four months,
there were for the first time such
gross election frauds as to excite
general public attention. Tweed's
power greatly increased.
3. In 1868 "the cunning and
shameless frauds" to which Marble

8. Sept. 4, 1871, in response to
the appeals of The Times, the great
public meeting was held at Cooper

attend the meeting.

anybody of being a fool, and did
not join at that time in the effort
for their overthrow.

THE New York Independent well
saws that the manage of the Dem
ocratic party have not been very
skilltul in Harvesting double teams
for political races. In 1854 they
had Mcclellan as war figure heao
and Pendleton for peace, and were
beaten by more than four hundred
thousand votes. In 1868 they had
Seymour for national honor and
Blair for reputation and new re
construction, and were defeated by
more than three hundred Thousand
votes, In 1872 Greeley and Brown
were mt Oh the course, and the race
was lost by nearly eight hundred
thousand votes. In 1876 Illden
stands for hard money and Hen
drlcks for initiation and soft money !;
and the result. though not yet an
accomplished fact, is likely to 1ol-
low in the line of Democratic pre-
cedents. Democracy has for years
been repeating the mistakes of as
Stunning that the people are to De
caught by tricks and political shams.
Upon no other theory can we ac'
count for its lack of common sense
in party management. No party
ever more needed to learn the les.
son of simple honesty. a ticket OF
inconeruities, like that OF Tilden
and Hendricks, is fraud upon It's
face. IT makes two opposite pro
fessions, and no artful use of Ian
euaoe can conceal this fact from the
people. Hayes and Wheeler make
an honest ticket. Both represent
the same principles. Tildcn and
Hendricks, on the other hand. make
a dishonest ticket, because the can
diGates, on the currency question,
which is one of the vital issues OF
the canvass, are either dishonest,
one or both of them, or are the eX-
act autipodes of each other.

What Is Needed.

Shouting for Hayes and Wheeler
will not alone elect them. Mass
meetings will not do it. Bands OF
music and torchlight professions
will fall short of the work needed
All these are necessary to prepare
the field, but of more importance
than all combined is that quiet work
which leads to a thorough canvass
influence by private advice the
doubtfurvoters and brings to the
ballot.boX every one who believes
in the right and who is entitled tt
vote. On this quiet work we rely
for q victory. On it we rely for the
conversions that are to be made III
the campaign. 1t is the quiet talk
er. who carries his politics into his
daily life and impresses his neigh
bors with the honesty Of his views
on public affairs, who makes con-
verts to the cause he advocates.
From this time to the day of cleo
ton every Republican should con
slider himself a worker and exert
himself to the best of his ability
Only a few can shine on the stump
Int all can have some influence III
his social circle. If there is doubt
ing neighbor 90 to him and incline
him to support the right, place the
true issue before him, show nm
that it is not a question OF curreh

people and keep up the quiet work
that is all essential to success. Or

voter will be a power influencing

den, the bogus retormer, is catch.
inc it on all sides. His political
friends are calling upon him to come
out and explain the charges against
him. while he, poor fellow, looks
tremblingly on, and sees the vision
of the White House fading before
his sight. The truth is hard to rub
out, and this Mr.. Tilden knows. He
has tried to explain his connection
with the Democratic Convention at
Chicago, in 1864, but the more he
explains the worse it is for him.
But his income returns for 1862, and
his answer to the Circuit Court OF
New York, in 1876, have evidently
proven too much for him. In 1868
he swore that his income for 1862
was S7llS; while in 1876 be swears
that in 1862 he received fees from
one railroad company to the amount
of $4,000. Come, Samuel, rise and
explain this Discrepancy in your
oaths of 1868 and 1876. If you
cheated Uncle Sam in the revenue
line you must take back seat in
the reform movement. The age de-
mands honest men, not men who
have filled their own pockets at the
expense of the Government.

Short but to the Point.

SENATOR BOOTH, of California
who refused the nomination for Vice
President on the GIeenback ticket.
made a ringing Republican speech
in his native town of Danvillc, Ind.
on Friday last. Mr.. Booth was call.
ed on unexpectedly to himself, but
there was no hesitation in his utter
ances. He said among otGer things
IL do not deny that, so far as
am personally concerned, recoe-
nize that there are great political
questions bearing upon us in the
near future that are not touched mp.
ON by the division between the Re
publican and Democratic parties
great question of finance, great ques-
tions Of fiscal policy, methods OF
reform and administra ton. But
when | find the Democratic party
as a compact mass cherishing it's old
traditions, animated by its old ideas,
all other questions in my mind are
subordinated to its defeat and de-
struction. | know not wha- others
may think, but as for me | can see
no road to progress that does not
lead over it's ruins. For fifteen years
it has stood in the pathway of our
advance; for fifteen years it has re-
sisted every great political idea; for
fifteen years it has endeavored to
suppress every grand political ut
terance, and the time has come
yea, the fullness of the time-when
it should cumber the ground no
longer. I do not deny that the Re-
publican party has made mistakes.
| do not deny that it has had cor
rupt men sometimes for it's agents.
But look at the past behind us.
Think of the hundreds of thousands,
and the handreds of thousands on
that, that it has employed, think Of
the difficulties it las passed through,
the work it has accomplished, aud
it seems to me miraculous that its
mistakes have not been more and
greater. They have been but as
the bends of the river that do but
defect its channel as it rushes to the
sea. And there is this to be said
of it; that it made the country's eX-
tremity its divine opportunity, that
when the catastrophe came over us
that good men all over the world
supposed would destroy us, it snatch
ed victory even from the jaws of de-
feat, and made the event that was
to blot Us ont from among the ma
tons the opportunity to fix upon
our policy the seal of universal free
dom, and make it the guarantee of
indissoluble union"

SIXTEEN years have passed away,
and yet the Democratic party, in
soul, purpose, and policy, is the
same as when under Buchanan it
left the country crumbling into an
arcby, a part warning against it and
a part voting against it, aud both
factions teaching that our country
was mere confederation of States,
too weak to enforce its own laws,
without power TO protect its life.
and subject to the veto of any State
that chose to withdraw from its pow
er. SO declared Senator Sherman
at Marietta, Ohio, "A few days ago;
and yet that party asks the people
TO restore it TO power. and give it

ment.

down tue Constitution to see if he

warrant for the existence of the
