THE ELECTION.

Tuesday, the 7th day of November,
1876, decided one of the greatest and
most momentous contests ever settled
at the ballot-boxes of the great Repub-
lie. Questions of the greatest import
were at issue, and whether the choice
of the nineteenth President has put them
to rest for even period of four years, is
for the next few months to decide. Re-
turns indicate the election of Samuel J.
Tilden, the boasted champion of reform.
While the general result is disastrous
to the Republican cause, the contest in
our own State resulted in a manner
highly satisfactory to the Republican
party. The Republican electors and
member of Congress are chosen by a
majority of from 500 to 700. In Multi
nomah county the majority for Repre-
sentative to Congress is 575; for Hayes,
592. This is much better than even
their most ardent friends predicted. II
is impossible to give accurate returns al
present.

A driveling, besotted voter who sat
near US, much to the disgust of our OIL
factories, on Monday evening, upon
hearing several ladies express their re-
gret at being deprived of the privilege
of depositing their ballot on the next
day, remarked, in as lordly tone as
bad whisky would allow him to assume,
az can do the vOtin' for my woman; l
wouldn't let her go to the polls among
all the men," We controlled our dis
gust sufficiently to give him another
glance, and mentally asked ourself if
any company could degrade woman
whose sensibilities were sufficiently
blunted and sense of sight and smell so
utterly demoralized as to permit her to
consort with such loathsome specimen
of voting humanity as the one who pro-
claimed himself in duty bound to pre-
serve her from communicating infiu-
ences. His first step in this laudable
direction should evidently be to absent
himself at once and forever from hel

The First Sign.

The gathering at the raising of Hayes
and Wheeler flags last evening was the
first public demonstration made by the
republicans of this city in the campaign.
Being entirely voluntary and unaided by
any form of special organic l,ion, the
vast numbers who assembled and the en-
thusiasm exhibited were in striking con-
trast to that of the democrats on a similar
occasion. and we can truthfully say was a
surprise to the most sanguine friends of
the cause. 1t is fair to assume that this
voluntary exhibition is an index of the ear
nest interest of the republicans in this Vi
einily, and as such gives unmistakable as
surance Of coming victories we are TO wit
ness in September and November. The
hearts OF the people are right, and they
are preparing TO move, shoulder to
shoulder, until Hayes and Wheeler,
our gallant Governor Common. and our
faithful representative, Mr.. Hale, are elect.

popuIar interest, we have seen it before

Is it any wonder that the r,bels OF inc
South are bold and insolent, and threaten
another rebellion. when such sentiments
as the above are found in the dou@hiace
democratic papers Of the North? 'eh
Davis could ask no better euloSy Tor MS
course in attempting to destroy the gov
ernmen, than this article from the Stand
ard .Ieaders in the time OF war .
What kind of a war? A war to destroy
the best government the world has ever
seen. and to which these men owed
allegiance. A rebelious war. A war OF
traitors against their country. A war
cruel and bloody. without justification or
excuse, for engaging in which every one
of these leaders deserved han ying, and
would have been hung in any other nation
upon the face of the globe.
In the opinion of the doughface Stand
ard however, it was highly meritorious
for these men to be leaders in the rebellion
It is a good reason in Mr.. Pillsbury's
Judgment for sending them to Congress.
To apply his own language they are the
.ablest" and BEST men in the South !.
They are its GREAT MEN and NAT
URAL LEADERS.. They led the south
ern armies in rebellion, therefore, accord
ing to Mr.. Pil!sbury, they ought to lead the
South in Congress.
We presume Mr.. Pllsbury is of the opn-
ion that JEFF Davis ought to be President OF
the United States as reward for his
services as the great leader of the re-
bellion. He certainly occupied con-
spicuous position in the war, and according
to the logic of the Standard must be the
"ablest" and "best" man in the South.
AS the Standard is edited by the chair
man of the Democratic State Committee,
its eulogy of the leaders of the rebellion
will be very comforting to jeff Davis,
since he may we'll suppose that it speaks
the sentiments of the entire democratic
party of Maine. All democrats, however.
with spark of loyalty or dccency in their
bosoms, must hang their heads with shame
at the lickspittle. subserviency of the
Standard displayed in its eulogy of the
leaaers in the greatest crime against
liberty and patriotism that was ever per-
petrated.

The Skies Bright.

At the meeting of the Executive Committee of
the Republican National Committee in New York
on Wednesday, the general tenor of reports from
the country were very encouraging, and it was
agreed by all the members that the party had
never enjoyed more favorable prospect for victory
at this stage of Presidential campaign The re-
ports from the South were especially encouraging
the members from the Southern States declaring
that the party was quite sure of carrying North
Carolina, South Carolina and Louisiana, while
Missouri and West Virginia might easily be car
ried if the campaign was conducted in those States
with proper zeal. The Committee determined that
while prosecuting the campaign as vigorously as
possible throughout the entire country it would
make the States named, in the South, and New
York and Indiana in the North, the objective points
Of attack for the campaign. This action was said
to be in accord with the expressed views of Gov.
Hayes.

Repeal of the Resumption Act.

The House late Saturday afternoon repealed
the date clause Of the resumption, and thereby
ended the struggle which has lasted through the
winter. The responsibility for this triumph Of
the unqualified and unconditional infatiopists
must be ascribcd to Mr. Tilden. 1t has long been
known that one word from him would have pre-
vented any report from the Banking and Curen-
cy Committee, and without such report it would
not have been possible TO have brought the House
to a vote upon it. That word was never spoken.
Why it was not can be learned from the intimate
friends of Tiden here to-day, who say that the
Tilden letter ana the repeal Of the Resumption
Act insure several Western States to 'Tden. The
first step toward specie resumption has been rem
dered nugatory by the direct approval of Tilden
in the expectation of attracting tie greenback
vote to the democratic party. An examination OF
the proceedings during the passage Of the repeal
without conditions are insignificant in numbers
and influence. 1t was essentially a democratic
vote by which the repeal was carried. few hard
money men in the democratic party labored hero
ically to prevent the passage, but without effect.
