The Result.

From the New York tribune.
In one word. 40 far Va the news has vel
reached Us. the republic masses have
every wi here come into line once more. as
they ALWAYS do when real emergency
contronls them. They Bave ended the APP
prehe-siens of those who feared the repub-
lcau party was gong TO pieces. They
have laid ,he rising spectre of unresisted
democratic control in Washington. They
have It least won handsome fighting
grpur d for 1880, and have probably ena-
bIed W IN enter upon that Presidential
contest WITH the advantage of position.
and the chances decidedly in our favor.
It is = splendid victory for honest mon
ey. The platform and the canvass in New
York were - explicit As words could
make them, and Mr.. Conkling's admira-
BILE speech at Saratoga gave the tone to
the whole campaign. The ringing hard
money speech Of Galusha A. Grow at Oh
City. 1t the very outset of the Pennsvlva
mia campaign, did the same for that State.
and next 20 Governor Ho,t. Mr.. Grow
has been the speaker most in demand
throughout their canvass. In Massschu-
sets the issue was yet more sharply drawn
and Il will be long before another msn "f
power throws himself away on the theory
that Bay State voters really prefer rsscali'y
IN National finance. All the more impor
taut victories yesterday were won IN y
square eight for the National honor, and
against the lanscy or dishonesty Of Green
hackers and their allies. the democrats.
