WHAT IT Implies

The honest independent voter who has been
driven by "a strong disgust at the Grant Ad-
n,injstrotion to look with favor upon the Dem
ocratic candidate for the Presidency, viii do
well TO consider carefully before he contrib
utes TO Democratic success precisely what u
meant by il. If it were simply the election of
Mr.. Tildcn to the chair of the Executive for
four wears, it would not be matter of very
serious moment But Dir. Tildcn's election
means vastly more. II Is the success OF
party aud the adoption OF policy. WITH his
accession to power there must come almost OF
necessity a Democratic Congress; certainly
Democratic House, and very probably Senate
of the same political complexion. That is the
combination Of which Mr.. Tildcn will he the
central figure. How much more than a figure
head he can be under such circumstances Is
a question worth considering. A Congress
Democratic in both branches, with full power
over legislation, subject to no check or con
troll except such as might be exercised by the
Executive in his use OF the pIcrOgatiyc OF the
yctO is not "a pleasant possibility Tor the
friends OF honest currency and civil service
reform to contemplate. For we have some
thing more tangible than platform professions,
or even than the record OF the candidate, from
which to Judge what would happen under such
circumstances. We have had already n taste
of Democracy in the present Congress. We
know what they do when they have the power.
What they promise in platforms and talk about
in newspapers and on the stump is one thing;
what they actually do when the opportunity
is gwen them is quite another Tho election
OF Mr. Tiden must give us in all the depart
ments of Government the same thing we have
been bcholdng in one branch of Congress for
the past seven months. II would be :" the
"samc, only more so and more OF it, Is it
worth while TO try that experiment.

sincere in his expressed desire for adninistra-

NOT IN THIS UAY.

The present attitude of the President OF thc
limited States is one that no true American
can contemplate without pain. An illustrlouS
soldier who rose from the lowest rank to the
HIGHEST and had new ranks created for him
that n grateful people might raise hlm SUI
higher. and who was twice elected President,
appyoachcs the limit of his term IN spirit
which threatens 10 obscure the memory oi hs
earlier and purer scrVlcc-scrylcc winch ms
countrymcn can never forget and never re-
nav. Whether it be from the failure of his
ambition for second reelection, an
bouor which WASHINGTON would not have.
and Of which none since Washington have pre-
sumed to think themselves worthy, or whether
his stubborn will, which has long chafed under
the control Of private advisers and the great
mass OF opinion outside, is now In open revolt,
this, at least, is evident, that not only Il the
Presidents behavior that Of Il sore ana angry
man. but he is exposing his private chagInS
and rrsentmcnts TO the gaze OF the nation. He
refused to attend the celebration Of the hund-
rcdth anniversary of the Declaration of lnde-
pcndcncc, though the sovereign of great and
friendly power ard the representatives OF every
civilized county under the sun were
present, though every olHtI bIdH'h vi
the Government was fully represented,
and genius and eloIuencc waited on his
caplicc. He virtually forced Mr. Bris
tow and NJ. Wilson to retire, for no
reason but that they had served the country
faithfully. and showed jewell and Pratt to the
door thronah which he had ign0mini0usIy
thrust ont Yaryan. Then hr carried his eager
spite 50 far rs 70 forbid 10 the latter the poor
courtesy of access to the papers oI his former
office. aud stretched out the long arm OF his
authority 30 slam the door of thc Treasury
Department itself in his face.
II is not in this way that the American
people would see President Grant pass the
few remaining months of his term. Neither
his blundcrs nor his crimes-l0r this proper
ton some Of his errors have rcached-have
suliccd TO obliteratc the memory of his deeds
as soldier and General, or Ia diminish the
public gratitude. His career has been one
peculiarly calculated to excite American adj
mirat0n and liking. IL was 40 maryelousy

that he was when tho Liberals refused TO sup

fortunate that the candidate has more man

THE NEUfRK LABORERS.

The workingncn in Newark. y. j., being

danger of starvation. have sent q committee
10 confer with the Mayor of the city. The
spokesman of this committee told his Honor

less and that their families were living upon
scanty supply of bread, with plenty of
nothing but water. They asked the Mayor
not TO give ont the city work by contract
but instead to employ these suffering laborcr'
The Mayor told them that he could himself
do nothing but he promised To call the atten-

A part of the Republicans, at least want to
succeed in tie Presidential election. 1t Is time
for them to consider that their chances oi sue
cess IN this State with a. L. Cornell as can
didatc for Governor, or any other man who III
like manner represents Grant and the machine,
are not worth counting. If they rely upon
the Presidential ticket to pull through such II
nomination. they will be disappointed. They
can deprive the Presidential ticket OF twenty
thousand votes, more or less, but cannot eject
n Governor by ciinging to the skirts OF Hayes
and Wheeler. Neither Gen. Grant, senator
Conkling, nor any man regarded as represent
ing them, ear carry this State. II there was
doubt before, there is none whatever since
the removals of BrstOw, Jewell, Pratt, Var

are some Republicans who will not vote Tor
