Party Gains and Losses.

Editor National Republican:
l notice that the Evening Star md the
Union speak Of the result of Tuesdays election
in Massachusetts, as being . decisive indorse-
ment of the Hayes policy, and speak as ii
the result was owing to the out-and-out in.
dorsemcnt of the said policy by tho Repub-
can convention Of Massachusetts,.
BY what rule of reasoning and mathematics
they arrive at this conclusion We fail to see.
The only way to judge of the Strengthening or
weakening of a party is to compare its present
strength with its past. Last year the Repub-
licans In Massachusetts, cast 1896 votes the
Democrats, 1O6,s5O; the Temperance. 1924,
and the anpnhl!oans had 3O.f55 plurality over
the Democracy and IS. 3G6 majority over all
HOW Is 1T TETS YEAR
when It Is claimed that Mr.. Hayes policy
was an element of st ,ength, because they in
dOrsed it so Internationally
The Republicans cast 90, ,i26 votes; the
Democrats, 2,735; Temperance, 1921; Labor,
3,471. In other words, the Democrats lost "a :
ll5 from last years vote, while the Republi.
lose only 7,197 this year. Instead of having
1886 majority AS the Republicans had last
year. have now lost all their majority, and the
Republican party do not have oven bare
majority at this election, lacking 900 votes
making difference of 1885 votes lost to the
party in State indorsing the policy"
Besides, 1t is claimed by the admirers of the
policy that the issue In Massachusetts, was
national issue and M Endorsement of Mr.
Hayes and not merely one confined to the
State. II that is so, as | am inclined to think
1t is, we have right to
COMPARE THE VOTES
of this election with the vote for Mr.. Hayes II
that State in 1876 when Hayes had l50064
votes and Tilden had s,777, and Hayes Al.
257 over Tilden. Now Gov Rice has ovel
CASTOR only 1851, which shows that Haye,
is now weaker by 1856 than one year ago
and has lost mis- majority in the State.
The Republicans having lost q, 500 votes II
a State indorsing the policy let us look q
New York, where the opposite course wa
adopted by the Republican party, and direc
| denuncatiOn was put upon the policy. Ii
New York In 1875 the Democrats had 52l ,9i!
votes, the Republicans ass. .207, or 32,7i5 Demo
Gratis over tho Republicans. This year 1t i
estimated that the Democratic majority
only $4,000; that is the
REPUBLICANS HAVE GAINED
20,7i5 over last year.
To sum 1t up 1t stands thus: In Massachu
sets, where Mr.. Hayes policy was uncondi
tionnlly indorsed. the Republican party los
90, ,506 votes rs compared with last year. Ii
New York, where Mr. Hayes policy was de
nounoed, the Republicans gained 20,745 owe
last year. What more comment is neededP

cretion, bad ore Is attended by still
greater danger. Hence its note of warning.
The solid South" has no moro power to-day
in the National Legislature than II had two
years ago, and since then the executive
power has been ostcnsibly re-cstablished in
the Republican interest. When the Forty
fourth Congress entered upon Its session
with a much larger Democratic majority in
the House than it has to-day, and with u
minority in the Senate, it declared u most
vindictiye and merciless war against the
administration in all its departments.
Grave charges were made against those
holding positions under the Federal Gov
ernment Inquisitions the most malignant
and oppressive were instituted, where sub
sidized witnesses were examined and the
most bare-faced pcruries were com
mitted TO blscken the official and personal
regulations of men who had never before
been suspected Of official wrong or disreputa-
BILE personal conduct Drag-ne,s were put
out in the hope Of catching something that
could be scored to the detriment of some
Republican official. A whole session was
absorbed with this malicious crusade, and
yet, when this flood Of malice, persecution
and perjury passed by it had accomplished
nothing beyond the ar sing Of the per.
secuted and the qualification of the malice
Of the prosecutors; for there were no con
victiOns on any of the multitudnous ale.
cations that had been made and published
to the world against Republican officials
These were the early fruits of the "un
questioned power in the National Legisla.
turc" to which the Raleigh News now re-
fers, and 1t is not at all strange that il
should counsel the exercise of "all due eau
tion, prudence, and wisdom" now, for the
Democratic party has lost much of the sun
questioned power that it enjoyed two
years ago. This loss has accrued to grca,
extent no doubt, from the overbearing and
tyrannical course adopted under con-
sciousness Of advantage.
We are not unmindful of the fac,
that the Democratic party is fast assuming
that it has much power over ii not full con
troll, of the executive branch of the Gov
ernment. What ground it has for such or
assumption we are not perhaps rs fully
aware as those more intimately acquainted
with the plans, purposes and inspirations o
those in authority. But we are not pre-
pared to believe that the natural enemies o
this administration and the party and
principles which placed it in position, arr
10 walk in at will and possess the patron
age and shape the policy of this Govern
ment during the term of Office of the pres
ent executive We very much desire to Sc,
this Democratic hope promptly and success
| fully blasted.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel has made vgor.
Gus fight against the civil-service order and
the Southern policy during the last campaign,
and has carried the city and State, so it claims,
on the issues made. 1t says: "But how about
civil-service reform in Milwaukee, The SEN
tinel has made some remarks once or twice
upon the subject, and for its pains was admou-
ished by Senator HOWE, in chaste letter
written to another, that 1t had made mistake
and was sending the party to the DEVIL 1t

that was travelling in that direction. The vote.
whore the Ssniiaers maiign influence was most
felt, indicates that 1t didn't do as much hurt as
Mr.. HOWE seemed to think it might. No, we
will undertake to take care of the party in
that respect, If Senator HOWE will take care
of himself"

Ben Wade on the Policy.

The Boston 7rareller says: Hon. b. F.
Wade has published his views of the policy,
and as usual he is plain and manly In his
statements Having been friend of Gov.
Hayes before his nomination, and worked for
his nom inatiOn in the national convention,
his words will carry some weight when he OBJ
serves that he never before has been so de
ceived in public man." The assertion Of the
policy holders that the President Is simply
carrying out the Republican policy. he answers
tersely thus: III Hayes had announced to the
people that he proposed to abandon the South
ern Republicans and

MR.. WADE CHhRACTERIZEs THE POLICY.
As to this Southern policy the prctense OF
the President that 1t did not work well II
would be changed or abandoned is all bosh.
When ho abandoned the Republican State OIL
GERS In South Carolina and Louisiana and
turned them over to the Demon It's, he placed

he could not Use the Federal power to protect
the people there without being called on Ia do
50 by the Governor and Legislature, and he
had turned over the power to Governors and
Legislatures. who, rs Is well known, would
give the Federal Government no opportunity
to interfere for the protection Of tho people.
1t was clearly the purpose and policy of tn.
Republican party and the Government not
only 10 protect the negro in his rights, but tO
educate aud elevate him, and yet Hayes has
delivered the black man Into the hands of his
| worst enemies.

A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of facts Is what the
reliable Philadelphia Times is continually max
ing in reference to Southern affairs. There
have been published in THE RErUBLTcAN,with-
in the past few days, extracts from various

the late great Indiana Senator. The Times re-
