DEVOTED To REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES
Ind to Reform in Municipal, STATE, and
General (yOper6IleUf


The course of the TINES during the Presi-
DENTAL campaign has secured for it hosts Of
new friends, and has placed beyond cOntro-
yersy its position as the foremost Republican
journal in the United States, During the po-
litical struggle preceding the election the full
ness fairness and accuracy Of its news reports
were as obvious as Its Ylg9r and breadth Of
view as an organ of public opinion. The
critical situation in which the country is
placed by the disputed results OF the election
hss been promptly recognized oy the TINES,
bnIS Il has found no reason to modify the
claims which il urged alone, among It's con-
temDoESries, that the vote of the Ith OF NOV
Secured a majority of Electoral votes LOT
HAYES and Wheeler. Readers OF the TINES
on fhe day foilOWing the election were placed
in possession OF returns which were simply
the most complete and trustworthy publlshed
in any part of the Union. The more thor
oughiv the facts of the election are disentan-
gled from the mass of Democratic talsehOOd
and pretense which has been thrown around
them, the more clearly is the justice reYeatleu
of the claims made by the TIMES the morn
ing after election.
Now the election of Hayes and Wheeler is
perceived by impartial observers OF ootn paI-
ties to be a certainty, the TIMES recognizes
the fresh responsibility which this renewal
OF great public trust imposes upon the
Republican party. The TINES was among
the foremost defenders of the principles Of
publication and reform within the party
which triumphed in the nomination Of Ru-
therfOrd B. Hayes at Cincinnati. 1t will be
as prominent and as uncompromising in its
demand for the embodiment of those princi-
ples in administrative and legislative action.
This election has given rise TO constitutional
Controversies whose discussion may last for
months to come, and whose settlement may
tax all the good sense forbearance and law
abiding instincts OF the people at large. II
will be our constant endeavOr to correct eX-
cited feeling by dispasslonate argument, 70
urge the supreme necessity OF moderatlon
and fair dealing, and to place the respopsl3l
ity of stirring up strife where 10 belongs, But
we shall do so without a5ating one lot OF the
lust demands of party which stands secure
ly on right, and people the integrity OF
whose institutions depend on a scrupuiOus
obedience to the demands of law.
In the agitation of the constitutional ques-
tiOns which have been forced upon public at
tention by the clOseneSS OF the late election,
the TINES will not cease to insist upon the
necessity of some approach to uniformity OF
method in the proceedings taken by state
and local boards to ascertain the vote legally
cast for Presidential Electors and members
Of Congress. 1t will defend the right Of indt-
vfdual States to have the declaration OF their
will by the recognized authorizes of such
States protected by all the safeguards that
have been thrown around 1t by the letter OF
the Constitution, and the usage sanctioned
by its authors. BuL II VIII none Ihe Isss N

wise whereby citizens of the United states
may be protected nom virtual dlsHanehPlse- 5P
ism provided by: any State for securing an
honest count of their votes. Whlle careIuily
avoiding all that may tend 10 promote sec
tiOnal animosity among our people, the
TINES will urge, with the utmOsg decls-
ion the national duty of protecting the
freedmen and the Northern 4 Immigrants Glnt IN
teed them by the Constitution. IL Will 90 all
in its power to promote the policy OF peace
and cOnciliation between North ana SouLh,
but will not lose sight of the fact that North
