pointed to Ohio, and ascribed the defeat to
the indifference and inactivity of all the ex-
pericnced workers. IL they were ..ostllc to Re
sumption, they exclaimed, "Ohio condemns
fisherman and lis measures.' How many
stop to ask whether tho Convention
its candidates, or the local leauers
of the party, were in hearty sympathy
with the course OF the Administration or not 7
The verdict everywhere most generally ac-
cepted is, that OHIO refused to sustain the
" Administration" That view of the case Is
everywhere used with effect by its opponents
Unquestionably, tho result OF that election mas
been to weaken the influence OF the Admins
tration with the Republican party and with
the country. Whatever it attempts that is
good can be the more effectively resisted III
other States and IN Congress, because OF the
general fact that the Republican party appears
weaker than it was year ago-weakcr WIN
an Administration looking toward Reform than
il was with an Administration under which all
sorts of abuses had been fosteied and had
grown strong
Precisely the same effect will be pr0ducet
if the Republican party under its new direc-
ton, is bea en- IN other States Unexpectedly or
by increased majorit es The confidence of the
people in the Presidents integrity of purpose
may not be affected but his influence for good
with his own party will inevitably be di
mi shed. if it appears that the change OF
course involves a loss of popular strength.
Thinking men will give just and forcible ex-
plantations, which ought TO have weight with
the average voter. but actually will have lit
tie Opponents of all reform will insist that
defeats are evidences of popular opposition to
the Presidents course, and will be encouraged
and strengthened to oppose all the more per
sistcntly.
Men who have been Disguised with the mis-
conduct of n former Administration can en-
courage and promote Change of methods only
by sustaining the party when 1t begins to
change. The revolution cannot be effected III
a day. For some time, unworthy men will con-
time to control local organizations here and
there. But the voters who stayed away from
the polls to rebullc Grantism cannot now stay
away from the polls without appearing TO re-
buke President ii YES. Other Republicans. who
feel that the performance of the President has
not yet justified their hopes, OUGHT also to re-
member that they can only lessen his power for
good, increase the resistance TO every reform,
and subject his own iirmness to more severe
trial, hy bringing defeat upon tho party Of
which he IL now the official representative. 1t
will he his daily, whether the party sust1ns
him or not, to keep faithfully the pledges
made by himself and his party-to serve the
country conscientiously, leaving the results
with the people. But it is the dGty of the
voters to encourage every effort for better
government. Ohio should teach them that
Republican defeats can only strengthen those
who oppose all reform.

THE DRY or SUCCESS.

The central fact in regard to the elections
10 be held next week, is that Republican de-
feats will greatly strengthen the least worthy
element OF that party. IL each State there are
local topics of more or less interest, which
have been discussed from time to time In
their bearing upon National affairs, the cleo
tons in the several States would vary materi-
ally if the same party should be successful in
all. For the position of the Republican party,
as made known by its platform, candidates,
and conduct OF leading men, is not the same
toward the Administration. Nevertheless il Is
a fact, which all who feel inclined to throw
away their votes should take into serious con-
sideratOn, that the main effect would in all
cases be the same; Republican success i'll
either State would encourage and strengthen
those who hope for better government through
the Republican party.
This fact is not as obvious, nor is il as gener-
ally understood, AS it should be. To some Re-
publicans, who sincerely desire practical re-
forms, it seems impossible that those reforms
can be promoted by the success of candidates
who are personally hostile to them, or who are
Indifferent but were selected by managers
who are hostile, or who stand upon platforms
WHICH express HOSlliItg ~ 10 'hV hiAoi'AtuHC

denotes do not always find quick expression in
conventions. Experienced and active manipu-
ators are hostile The voters VINO most ear
nesCly desire better things are inexperienced,
unorganized, and disinclined t. take upon lem
selves the labor of personal activity. 80
the conventions misreprescnt the party, disro-
gard its real sentiment, and, for q time, defy
with IMMUNITY those tendencies which, in the
end, are sure to control IT. Whenever this
happens, good men are tempted To permit the
party TO be beaten rs long "a 1t suffers itself
to be falsely led or misrepresented. Moreover,
the necessities of past years have taught
voters that, when the national conduct of the
party was vicious, it could be corrected only
by the stern discipline of defeat. They are
apt to overlook the corresponding truth That,
when the national course Of the party is in
the right direction, it can be encouraged and
strengthened only by success.
OHIO taught the lesson well Who secretly
reioiced at Republican defeat in that State 7
None more heartily than the most corrupt and
reactionary of its leaders Instantly they
construed the result as II popular reblIke of
the President. If they wished to break down
his Southern policy, they pointed to Ohio, and
said, "You see that the Republicans there arc
"disgusted" IF they wished to resist his ef-
forts for reform in the Civil Service, they

tacle of Democrats who vote for local candi-
dates and throw away the State ticket Inc
reverse has often happened. Not only VIII
thousands of Anti-Tammany Democrats refuse
to vote the State ticket Tor scratch the names
of Beach and ochoonmaker), but probably as
many more of Tammany itself will do the
same. They will swallow the local ticket, for
it is not specially Objectionable to the average
Tilden Democrat, but they will not vote Tor
the Canal men. We believe this dlssatisiac-
ton on the part of ilden's friends will largely
reduce the New-York County majority on the
State ticket. Robinson's majority in 1873, on
a larger registration, was only 10000, and he
ran ahead of his ticket. Our friends in tho
country may look for surprise, this year, IN
this matter.

PLAYING COMMUNIST.

However absurd Mr. Tilden may be in his
perpetual cry of FIaud," we are not disposed
TO quarrel with him about it, because We have
no doubt til ne is entirely sincere. To him
the result Of the Presidential election naturally
presents itself in an aspect different from that
which il wears in the eyes of a other people
The fact that Mr.. Samuel j. T;ldcn came
within one OF getting the Presidency-might,
indeed be now in tho White House if hc had
only been n little more prompt in buying
that Oregon elector-and yet was defeated
after all. appears to Mr.. Samuel J. TIlden
as tie monumental blunder of the century.
He can see nothing in his failure except Il
national disaster. lie cannot distinguish be-
tween his own fortunes, interests and desires
and those of the country and, conscious
though he must be Of the gross attempts ut
bribery in his behalf exposed by the cipher
dispatches, he persuades himself with little
difficulty that he was really entitled to the
Mace he tried to get by Il trick, and that the
Electoral Commission was guilty of IA crime in
not awarding it tO him. man can believe
almost anything that he wishes to.
But hC wever chaIitably we may regard his
complaints, it ia impossible to speak with pa
tienco OF the disrcputable appeals by which he
Is now irving to commend himself to tbe favor
of the ignorant masses Of his party. He is n
man of position, ability and education he has
never before practcc1 the more vulgar arts of
Inc demagoguc; h. mas affected to dcsDise
them; vet he talked OH Saturday nisht in the
vulpar tone of some nwashed "frcnd OF the
"laboring-man who makes his living by de-
nouncipg government as a synonym for dcspot-
Ism. and opposing social order as an in
vasion of personal liberty. In addressing
the crowd at Gramcrcy Park, they tell
us that he jumped up and down with
excitement when he declared that he
would "never consent to any increase of the
army-never-no, never" and whyi Be-
cause, among other reasons, there was danger
that the Federal Government would make use
Of the army in order to take jurisdiction of
riots which it is tho duty of the State to
suppress Such language has been heard
from the lips of other Democrats before now,
and has not been thought worthy Of much
notice but when Mr.. Tilden, the representa-
tiv, of the better classes among the Democ-
racy, begins to pandcr to the passions of the
mob, the people may well take alarm.
There can be only one meaning in such a
speech. As a matter of Law, it is the duty of
the Federal Government, under the Constitu-
| ton and statutes of the United States, to
L" take jurisdiction Of riots" whenever an cmer-
gency arises with which the State is not pre-
parod to deal, and the fact that the State
ought w keep the peace does not release the
