A TELEGRAM sent from Augusta
on Tuesday, saying that Georgia
had, rs usual, gone Democratic by
large majority, WAS evidently n
canar0. Georgia is not in the
habit Of going Democratic by a
large majority more than about six
times year, and this is an of

The Elections.

Tho result of tho elections is on
the whole satisfactory to tho Demo
crafts. New York and New Jersey
remain Democratic; while Penn
sylvania swings over along with
Ohio into tho Democratic line.
Massachusetts is Republican by n
reduced plurality. We do not see,
however, in this result, tho evidence
that tho Republican party is yet
dead, or that the Democratic party
is sufficiently secure of tho future
relax It's vigilance for moment.
The tidal wave of 1874 wns the
result of Grantism, which had dis
gusted everybody but machine
Radicals; and in this demoraliza-
tion of the Republican party, tho
Democrats effected q surprise Tho
desperate struggle of last year
showed how the Republican party
had recovered from it's crushing
defeat; and taught tho lesson, also,
that the Democratic party was dis
trusted by q majority Of the North
ern pooplo. Still, the i'll effects of
Grantism wore felt, and this enabled
Tildon to carry four States north
Of the limo.
But Hayes is using every effort
to make his party popular. Old
abuses arc being eradicatcd; and
needed reforms aro proposed, oven
if not carried out. Many disaffcctol /
Republicans fancy they now see
some glimmer of reform within
their own ranks, and prefer, there's
fore, to return to their old love,
and vigorously combat the Dcmoc-
racy and the dominance of the
"Soid South" Every victory here
after must DO wrosted from them,
tho fight being in the North-their
own battle ground. While the
Senate will DO assuredly Democratic
next year, the House, now hold by
frail tenure, may eludo our grasp.
Most Of tho Northern States are so
gelymandered that the Democrats
labor, in tho congressional districts,
undor great disadvantages:
The odds are now in favor of the
Democrats; but false step may
bring us to ruin. While gratifed,
then, lot us not be too much olated
to preserve the greatest vigilance
The whole party must move in solid
column against the enemy.
