National Associated Press to the Star.
New YORK, Nov 6.-All the papers ex-
cept the Star and Herald editorially exult
over the downfall Of Tan4many.
The Star attributes Tammany's defeat to
Tilden's money, which, it says, was poured
out like water to defeat the regular Democ-
racy.
The Tribune, summing up editorially,
concludes as follows: son the whole, the
judgment of the Northern people is that
the destinies of the country are still safe in
the hands of the party that freed the slave,
preserN ed the Union, and stands now the
bulwark of National honor and the cham.
pion of rational finance. Yesterdays work
made this judgment plain. We may now
confidently hope that the work of 1880 will
make it palmer still. For the first time
since the Inauguration of President Hayes
there is good reason to trust that he may
have Republican successor"
The Herald censures Kelly for not taking
its advice, and says it always acknowledged
the integrity of his course as Comptroller Of
the City, and his desire to faithfully serve the
city, but warned him that his policy must
bring him defeat. The Herald was satisfied
to see him dictator of Tammany Hail. but
warned him agains attempting dictator
ship againstlhe city. 1t reasoned in vain
and the defeat of Kelly and Tammany is
the result. In conclusion, the Herald ad
vises John Kelly, who is still Comptroller
and will hold that Office for two years tc
come, to attend to his duties, and leave pol
itics alone. The Herald figures next U. S
Senate: Democrats AZ; Republicans, SO
Independent, l. In the House the Demo
Gratis have narrow majority. On the sub
ject of the next Governorship, the Herald
suggests as possible candidates Senator
Conkling against Tilden.
The Times, editorially referring to the
New England election, says: SIN the New
England States the tide of victory has uni
formly been with the Republicans. The
result in Massachusetts has naturally beer
looked for with considerable interest. Tht
impudent and indecent canvass of Butle
has ended as it deserved to end-in an ig
noble and overwhelming defeat. Talbot'
plurality over Butler is estimated at 10000
He has clear majority over all, but the
exact figures can not be given now. 1t il
enough to know that Butler is buried clear
out of sight, and that the Democratic nom
inee has practically no place in the list O.
contestants"
CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-The Inter-Ocean, com
menting on the election, says: For the
first time in decade the count has no
counted against the Republican party. L
begins to look as if we were at last wakins
up to the necessity of opposing 'solic
South wi h solid North"
