THE REsULT-rILDEN ELECTED.


We tum with a sense Of relief from the
figures which tell the result Of the election
in Shelby county to the broader and more
encouraging field where the bath was
teaght on national issues, and the reward
that awaited the victor was sovereign
States. Tilden Is ,9octed President Of the
United States. There Is no room any longer
10 question it. Sitting the news which We
publish TIM morning from all the
States, we can reach bot this con-
Clusion. Soith Carolina and Florida, upon
which it was said IN the early part Of last
evening so much depended. sse both conceded
Democratic, and Louisiana, also, by decided
majority. Besides these, we have reason to
believe that Wisconsin has gone Democratic
and that it Is barely possible Illinois
viii rebuke Logan, a. Indiana has
already nebuked Morton, and give a
majority for Tilden, Hendricks and Reform.
The tactics and ingenuity Of the Associated
Press, under the manipulation of leading Rad
icals, wsS yesterday called into requisition to
distort facts and confusethe public mind. But
our special dispatches, received before twelve
O'Clock Last night, cleared If all up, and re-
moved any doubt Of our success. The readers
OF the APrEGL can, Therefore, rest Ger
tam that Tlden is elected, and turn from
the returns and the dry details of figures
10 the opinions Of leading home and foreign
journals upon result so promising to the
peace and welfare Of The Union. They can
turn to the contemplation Of an administra-
hon such Is the country has not had since the
days of Jefhsrson. and the possibilities of the
far-reaching and sagacious policy of the one
man, who, above all Others, has the capacity
to realize the condition and needs Of the coun-
try and the craftsmanship to point
a way to their easy satisfaction. The London
papers, it will be seen, regard Mr.. Tflden a.,
fulfilling the promise of his party. The
Times, Standard and News, speaIin., TO the
people Of the great money oenter of the
world, avow heir satisfaction At a result that
to the south Is valuable b.yond computation
IN a merely money F.euse, and they assure
their readers TAT there is no room
for doubt Fat Mr.. Tflden's fnan-
cal pohey will be such az will insure
the mani yenance Of the honor and integrity of
the U'llon. Thus inspiring confidence abroad
as ~ell as at home, the Democratic party has
reason to be more than ever proud of their
choice, choice made at a time when above
all others a man of intellectual grasp and
power was needed to deal with the difficulties
In governmental management that are a
direct result Of Radical, malevolent, and ma
hciously sectional legislation. That great
party, which during all the weary years since
peace was declared in 1865, has battled
with the foe with an unfailing faith in the
ultimate triumph of its principles, has rea-
sonable cause for congratulations upon a tn
umph gliEed under circumstances of more
than ordinarily extraordinary character-atri
umph achieved in spite of the moneyed
power, in the teeth of administrative usurpa-
tions, the unlawful exercise of Federal func-
tons, the unconstitutional stretch of Federal
patronage, of bribery and corruption, of pur-
posed misrepresentation lying, cheating, bal
lot-box stufing, repeating, threats and intim
idation, and the fear of unprovoked riot and
bloodshed Overcoming such odds, and
triumphing as signally as we do,
we have occasion for profound thanks
giving, but stll more when we
contemplate the possibilities in increased
trade and commerce growing out of the peace
assured 70 US Of the south especially, by Mr.
Tilden's election. Stimulated by it, we look
forward to a long series of years of prosperi-
ty, of absolute security and repose such as
the election Of no Republican could assure,
and such as but few Democrats beside the
great statesman Of New York could guaran-
tee,
