Country Before Party.

The uncertainty which has enveloped
the result of the Presidential contest, we
are gratified to note, has led many people
who have been strong partisans to dis
cover that they care more for country
than for party. Last Wednesday, after
the first stunning surprise, many Repub-
licans, like sensible men, began to get
rccoLciled to the idea of four years Of
Mr.. Tilden as President, and resolved to
make the best Of it. There did not seem
to be any reason to doubt that business
would be as good if not better under
Mr.. Tillen than it would be under Mr..
Hayes, because the large number of peo-
pie who desired ga change" would feel
more confidence, and that the country
was in danger from an opposition Admin
fStration, especially with sharply divided
Congress, was not seriously entertained
by thinking men. All through these
anxious days the remarks of people Of
different views have furnished material
for study to the cooler heads of the com
munity. By Friday long-headed business
men, Republicans, began to see that un-
certainty was worse than the success OF
the man they did not want. Some Re
publicans still think nothing but Hayes
will answer for the well-being and pros.
clining to the belief that it will be better
to have the result turn out favorably for
Mr.. Tilden, all things considered. We
have no doubt, from what we have Oh
served and heard, that the mass Of the
Republican party prefers country to par
ty, and we feel assured that they would
rather not see Mr. Hayes counted in by
one majority if there is to be general
feeling that it is done by fraud. With
General Grant they demand ga fair count
of the votes actually cast" 1t would be
q calamity to the country, not to say tc
the Republican party itself, to have Mr.
Hayes returned as elected by any count o.
votes which would not be recognized by
the great people as strictly fair and hon
est.
The events of the past week have de
monstrated to politicians, as we'll al
others, that an abrupt turn in the tide o
affairs may jeopardize the life of a repub
lie even at time when it's one hundredtl
anniversary is being celebrated for til,
purpose of showing its strength; tina
there may come time when the people
must ali hold together, regardless of par
ty. There is undoubtedly a necessity TO
accepting the result, whatever it may be
calmly and deliberately; and we hope th
better men of both parties will keep coun
try before party until the whole matter i
definitely and finally settled. Nothing
can be gained now by violent and war
like partisan talk, for he who loudl
claims victory at | P. NJ. may be bewailin.
defeat the next hour. Let us all keeI
COOL hope for the best, sift the report
carefully and placidly as they come along
and resolve that, whatever the result ma
be, we will endeavor to do our par
toward securing that season of prosper
ity and progress for which we have s
long been looking. Globe.

Il appears this week that Mr.. Hayes j.
elected. The long uncertainty has proved
beneficial to the country. It has taken
the heat and blow out of both parties. and
however it may prove, the defeated party
will acceptthe situation with better grace.
The gain in Congressman has been be-
you'd the expectation Of the most san
gulne Republicans, so much so that the
parties will nearly balance in the popular
branch, and the Republicans may have
control in joint ballot.
