[ uouucng the result Of the Electoral Cointals
sion, SAYS all good citizens long for peace ano
the restoration of confidence, but docs not eN'
meet them from the Hayes Administration. II
denies that the 1iorid has counscled 1act1ous
DELAYS in the vcrifcation OF the Fresldcntal
vote.
The Sun IS si1eut on the subject, except
through It's Washington correspondent, who
rarratcs Democratic follies which he cfaius lost
the Presidency.
The Rstald's Washington special says: "Rc-
spectacle Democrats, though deeply offended
,isfous fu the. Florida and Louisiana
cases, arc not discontented with the oregon
result. 4 prominent influential Democrat
says when the Oregon case arose Iuden ought
to have declared at once ia public letter tsiat
Croniu was undoubtedly an Elcctor by the la",
but that he was bound to vote for Hayes, be-
cause he was the representative and agent only
Of The majority OF the Oregon voters. IT IIiden
had done this he would stand better to-day
The same correspondent adds: "Scnsiblc, re-
sponsible men Of both sides sit down to the fact
that HAYES is the next President. They sec
that all attempts at delay now arc
wrong, aud grave blunder for tho
Democratic party If it should allow
them. There are really no reasons why
the count Of the votes should not be concluded
on Monday. aud tile countrr's an1tcties set at
rest All tue sensible men acknowledge this,
aud it is not impossible. Dudley Field may Euc-
coed in making serious splitiin the Democratic
party he attempts the somewhat fancitul
scheme OF getting various bills before the
House, which il the House should pass them
would not pass the Senate, and could not be-
come laws, and whose plain intention, there
fore, is to delay the count and ting the country
into further and endless anxiety
HERALD EDITORIAL.
The Hera'a's editorial regards the Prcsiden-
oral law is carried out in good faith aud the
completion OF the count not obstructed by dila-
tory action On the part OF the Democratic
House. It does not think Speaker Randall will
consent to such desperate measures, AUD with
out his cooperation cannot succeed. He will
not conzent to see the futute prospects, Of
the Democracy utterly wrecked by the
.ereeious acts OF bad fa:tn which
would create alarm and kindle indignation
lmong the business classes OF tho whole coun-
% impatient Of delay, so eager for recovery,
'anlot afford the excitement and agitation OF
mother fierce and disturbing Presidential corr
est. If the Democratic party iorres u new.
residential election on the country this year it.
giIt be buried deeper than ever plummet sound
d beneath the waves Of public Indignation and
corn. No political party could survive SO stu
'cndous and reckless 4 blunder.
THE TINES.
The 1tmes cditorially says: "It is to be
opesi that after the vote OF the Oregon case VIC
na1l hear no more about the pariisanship OF
republican members OF the Electoral Gomt1is-
ion. In this decision the partisanslIip is al. on
be Democratic side, and the law aud facts OBJ
iousIy with the Republicans. That three
.lcctoral votes Of Greg 5on were legally east for
faycs, the wayfaring man, though fool, can
ppteciatc, and it may safely he left with the
eople to Judge Of the impartia]ity Of the seren
who insisted that only two Of these
otes should be SO counted. 1t was very
heap display OF virtue to refuse to recognize
he vote Of Crouin. It WAS very discrelitable
isplay Of partisanship to hull tint the Grover
onspiraey had succeeded in cheating the State
ut Of onc Electoral vote aud the country out
its choice for President
