TDLDEN REVIEWED IN THE
HOME OF HIS FRIENDS.

We do not suppose anybody will &C
cuse the New York Herald of being
burdened with conscience. or all
newspapers in the world the Herald Is
the least moved or governed by any
such an ,pcumberance. The possession
Of q conscience implies occasional self
sioubtings; aud self-doubtiDss are not
among the characteristics of that remark
able journal. But the Herald has tastes
and preferences; moreover. its strerg'h
If position very largely depends upon
the aid and support it offers TO the lead
ing business interests of New York.
Capital is apt TO invest in bonds; hence
capital demands security. Indeed, ~
contemplation of the prime necessity for
security capital is apt TO nndervalue
mere partisan preferences and political
predictions. The holding Of govern
meut securities by Democratic banker
or Spectator makes him very uneasy
ever the possible domination OF Congress
BY the reckless gentlemen who cherish
the memory and motives of the Lost
Cause Coupons became more i'm
portant than a White Mans Govern
ment; the market price OF bonds is q
matter Of more immediate interest than
= Reform which finds mutual favorins
Ill John Morrissey's gambling halls and
the secret meetings Of the ku-klux
Klans. The Herald's seusitiveness,
then. ia not the sensitiveness of one who
is MISREPRESENTATION. 1t is the solic-
itude OF one who watches with interest
the turn Of events that are TO have
bearing upon important business mat
tiers. Hence it comes that the Herald,
with strong leanings toward Governor
Tilden. If not strong preferences for the
Democracy. is much discouraged with
the situation. Il assumes that the coun-
try wants to elect Tilden bat dares not
10 il. This fear il stimulated and kept
alive BY the attitude Of the South. The
Southern States have passed into the
control Of the Democrafs-all but South
Carolina, aud, possibly. Louisiana
and Mississippi. We will let the Herald
speak for itself. Upon this phase OF
the question it says:
We fear that in most cases they played
most foully for their mssiry, but their
power is urquestioned. The vote In
most of the Southern States Is simply
the recording Of the democratic major
tiles. The Western States it was
thought, would 60 Into alliance with he
south on the money question. This
vas q natural union; but the South has
had only one idea since Fort Sumter !
'ell, and the West was driven back to |
Its old republican lines. If the country |
Ieels that the result of the war for the |
.ess of the democratic psrty-that We |
hall not have reputation in the West
md revolution in the South-there will 1
,e no doubt as to the election. Thus /
ar in the management Of the canvass
he republicans have succeeded in keep
pg alive this doubt, and the democrats
nave not succeeded in allsying it. In
,ther words. the republicans, with the
country against them. with an over
,urtlened and disheartened canvass, are
lighting to win. The democrats. with
he country in their favor, yearnins for
eform, are fighting to lose. The demo
ratio party has shown itself to be as
sedded to its idols as when it defeated
Douglas in 1860, Mcclellan in 1864.
SEYMOUR in 1865 snd Greedy in 1872. II
o0ks very much as If it would succeed
n defeating Tilden in 1876. We admit
hat Tilden is hard man to beat
more SO than any OF the gentlemen We
ave named. Bot in capacity for de
eating its own candidates the democrats
ave unrivalied power. II any question
equired prudent treatment 1t was the
southern question. Once touch the
hord of patriotism, once arouse the old
rar feeling, and Mr.. Tiiden's canvass
,ould be as hopeless as was that of
in Ohio. Common sense
