THE PEACEFUL REvOLUTI0N.
THE CAUSE OF REFORM IL MARCHING
On, CoNQUERING AND TO CONQUER.
WASHINGTON, October %, 1876.
The gloom and despondcncy which
settled on the Republican managers after
the full returns from Ohio and Indiana,
still continue, and the desperate efforts
to throw off this feeling and to replace it
with hope have signally failed. Instead
| OF improving il has become more and
| more confirmed. Chandler finds himself
in tho condition of commander who
staked whole campaign on the fate of a
slHgle battle, and came out of it
much inclined to revolt, without dis.
cipline, and nearly without ammunition.
Nothing reveals weakness like defeat
Then it is that discomfort, jealousy, envy,
malice, and disappointed ambition speak
out. This is the sort Of refreshment with
which Chandler's committee has been Do
luged for ten days. No word Of comfort
has come, but complaint from every
quarter at the false issues of tho cam
paign; the waving of the bloody shirt"
as national banner; the putting for
ward OF Blaine and otlier corrupt leaders
as the representatives Of reform inside :;
the fabricated charges against Mr.. Til
den's personal character, and the false
figures made in the Treasury to deceive
the country.
There has been no rally of the party in
the sense of recovery from stunning
blow, or as illustrating any confidence in
success. On the contrary, there is u
panic here now which is far worse than
that first witnessed, because the reports
received from Wisconsin leave hardly
any doubt that Tilden will carry that
State largely, while Michigan is threaten
ed in way to We Chandler the most
serious concern an,. alarm for the result
In fact, the reaction, since Ohio aud
Indiana virtually decided the Presidency
for Tildcn, would be amazing if the noble
army of neutrals, numbering perhaps
half million of voters, and scattered
chiefly over twenty States, did not pro-
verbally rush over to the strong side,
in the aspect Of the campaign in less than
q fortnight. All over the Northwest the
Republicans are throwing off the yoke of
party rule, SO that Illinois has become
nearly doubtful State, and there is a
rebellion iii Minnesota and parts OF iowa.
This revolution has spread into Penn
sylvania, and the awakening there is
causing Cameron and his crew an anxiety
they have never before felt. But what
troubles the managers most here, is the
intelligence from the city and State of
New York. The large accessions to the
reform ranke from among solid men who
have never before cast any but Repub-
lican vote, and who are now determined
to deposit their ballots for the Democratic
candidates, are fully reported 20 Chandler
and his confederatcs, and make them
very blue indeed.
But this is not the worst by any means.
! Chandler has found in his frequent Jour
neys to New York, and especially the
last, that the merchants and bankers who
used to contribute thousands, will not
give dollar to help the Republican
ticket. They know that the effect of the
calumnies of Blaine, Morton, Ingersoll,
Boutwell,, and the outrages of the Admin
istration against the Sonth, has been to
react Oh their material interests. While
this warfare is kept up there can be no
|
is practically impossible
If q Republican Administration, head
ed by Hayes should come into power,
! Grantism would not only be continued,
but at the end of four years this same
sectional strife would be again renewed.
Us 1t was in 1864, 1868, 1872, and 1876,
perhapo even more intensely than now,
| and with the most disturbing effects on
i trade and the relations of the two Sec
| lions. This agitation in the interests of
| politicians alone cannot go on without
scrious arrangement of business, TO be
felt more directly and severely in New
York than in any part of the Union.
Hence it is that tho Republican mcr-
chants and bankers will not aid to keep
ing up system which is at war with all
their best interests, and threatens new
dangers to the tranquility of the Union.
| They sec that the only mode of removing
the Southern question from politics is hy
the election of Samuel j. Tilden Polit-
| ically, they may not prefer him to others
on their own side, but he can do in this
great matter what he did in regard to
| Tweed's Ring end the evil and provide
O remedy.
Letters from inside the Republican or
| ganization in New York, represent its
SNhNitiph 90 bOpCiCooJ anu u.s.
mayed. II is stated that Mr.. Morgan has
emphatically refused to answer the de-
mands for more money, that his peculiar
friends regard the prospect as cheerless,
and that the probable falling of in the
Republican vote by conversions to Til
den, and by refusal to go to the polls at
all, reaches to every part of the State,
and will swell up to very many. thou
sands.
The Administration has lost all head
if it ever had any. There is no direction,
TO steady hand ut the helm, and no sound
sense of any kind. The last experiment
of sending the army to South Carolina
under false pretences, has reacted to the
| injury of the very cause it was intended
to promote. The splendid submission of
| tho Carolinians to this daring, Outrage
was exactly what the c0nspirators did
not expect or desire. They melted re-
sistance to their own, troops, but the
scheme did not succeed. In spite of this
Infamous proceeding. which will yet
bring Us authors to grief, if tho House of
Representatives does half its duty next
winter, Waee Hampton will probably be
elected Governor, and the vote of the
State be cast for Tilden. So much for
public /, rascality and its approaching
downfall and punishment, ,--Ne,6, York
