Evangelist DAns. of the New York San,
who stands in . pastoral relation to the
New York city Democracy, Jointly with the
editor OF the World, is sorely distressed
lest the atheistic tendencie Of Colonel
Bob" Ingersolps views may corrupt and
lead captive some of the followers of hia
party who are not we'll rooted and gro und-
ed in the faith; and he and the World man
yesterday took occasion to point out the
dangerous character of Mr.. Ingersoll, who,
the evening previous, addressed one OF the
largest and most enthusiastic political
gatherings ever assembled in the Empire
city, and to exhort the Democratic hearers
Of his mastery speech to sceadfastnees in
the cause Of "Tilden and reform
The same papers, with q forced face.
titousness of manner, refer to the probable
return of the s.Boss'' to the scene of his
gigantic Iobberies in the interests of De
mocracy and reform; but their apprehen-
sions of trouble from this source to the
great 'reformer' are apparent in every
line The San dismisses the result Of the
Maine election with the statement that the
returns are too incomplete to justify com
parison with the vote of former years; and
the World concludes that ''if the Dem0cra-
tic gain has not been go marked as to war
rant hopes of carrying Maine two months
hence, it Is sutfi cient to show that, even in
Radical strongholds. the Democrats are un-
falterinely aggressive, and fight none the
less gallsntly because they have no chance
of winning victory at home, though they
contribute to the encouragement and as-
sistance to their comrades at other points
along the line" The truth is that NO single
event of the present campaign has brought
homo to every intelligent Democrat in this
city the disastrous defeat awaiting them
next November, as the Maine election has
done.
Tilden's record during the war; his init
mate relations with Tweed and his gang Of
thieves; tho exposures of the New York
Times touching his fraudulent practices in
regard to his income tax returns; the rev.
olutionary character Of the utter,
ances of the Southern Dsmocr attic
press; the murders of political oppo-
nents already accomplished in the
South. and the Wholesale slaughter ad'
vocated; the nomination for the highest
offices of participants in these outrages OF
those who encourage and approve of them
and the silence of Tilden and his managers
ing the campaign, have all contributed tt
arouse the masses Of the country whit
espoused the Union cause in 1861. to tha
perils involved by Democratic restoration

From every section of the country wher'

Circles, and other reasonable conspirators

foreign war and inviting rebel invasion.
| As there were but two classes recognize'
in this country from 1861 to ls65-it
friends or its enemies-it is held tha
Mr.. Tilden and Mr.. Hendricks mus
have stood with the one or the Other
and it argues very badly for bot
that not one single act during that perio
can be satisfactorily pointed to, identifyin
them a. pstri"ts. Long and lahore
speeches and newspaper articles have bee
deemed necessary by the Democratic LEAD
ers in order to explain away utterance
which 1T the time were held to be inc0n
patible with patriotic sentiments and d.
signs; and these vindications have falle
upon incredulous ears.

The arrest of Tweed creates some disma
