WEDNESDAY. OCT. l6. 1878.
CryptOgrams.

The art of secret correspondence was
carried in the presidential election Of 1876
TO that perfection seen in the play of HAM
let with the part of Hamlet omitted, for
the secrecy was not provided for.
The New York Tribune in some way OBJ
tanned the cipher dispatches sent by the
democratic visiting statesmen in Florada
and South Carolina to Gramercy Park,
the residence of Mr.. Tilden. By careful
study the secret ciphers were studied out
and the translation of the dispatches sent
shows that plans we're proposed and ap-
proved for buying decision favorable to
Mr.. Tilden.
1t cannot now be said that these dis
patches are traced TO the personal knowl-
edge of Mr.. Tillen but Mr.. Marble and
others are convicted of the most nefarious
designs and the proof is promised by the
7JiLune to be yet, incremable slightly
We hope Mr.. Tilden will show conclusive
" that he knew nothing of what his wick
ed lieutenants were doing: and in the alb
sence of proof of his knowledge are glad
still to believe that he was personally cog
infant of no wrong methods to obtain sue
cess. We believe that whatever things Of
douptful character were done by republl
cans in getting favorable return were
unknown to Mr.. Hayes and are willing tt
extend to the democratic candidate the
same courtesy of belief. 1t is too evil !
thing to believe such things of the candi
date of great party.

Election of Mr.. Morrill,,

The senatorial canvass settled itsel1
pretty thoroughly last week and it became
evident that so largely were the people OF
the state in favor of Mr.. Morrill's return
that he would be elected by m overwhelm
ing majority in each house.
Judge Poland's withdrawal Tuesday
morning was in recognition of this fac
and left many of his supporters the oppor'
tunity of expressing their second choice
for Mr. Morrill,. The vote of the latter
was however not increased more thar
twenty-five Or thirty by the withdrawal o
the main opposition.
The result of the vote while very hatter
ing to Mr.. Morrill, is the result which hi
long and faithful service has well earned
The formal declaration of the election tool
place in joint assembly this noon.

The Elections.

The October elections make it certain
that the democrats will control the next
House of Representatives by majority OF
members and entirely probable by a ma
jority of states.
But Ohio has gone republican and in
stead of six members of congress, as the
state was gcrrymandered 10 provide for,
that party has elected nine. We carry
Iowa but lose two congressman TO the
grcenbackers; and in Indiana we lose
three congressman. two to the democrats
and one to the greenbackers.
But the main fact proven by the cleo
tions is that the greenback party has seen
its best days. In the west where it origi'
mated it cannot at this late day cope with
either of the old parties, and its gradual
death as distinct party organization may
be surely predicted. The Maine election
will remain thing of its own kind anc
not shadow of coming events. therefore

We believe we published some time
since the secretary's notice of the business
meeting for the election of officers, ETC.,
at Montpelier on Wednesday, the 23l in
slant, and of Mr.. Morrill's address before
the association in the evening. Since the
session of the legislature, and after leave
had been granted for use Of the Rnpresen-
tatives' Hall for Mr.. Morrill's address, an
other notice is given by the secretary
changing the business portion of the meet
ing'from Montpelier to Million at 10 A. NJ.
of the same day, while Mr.. Morrill's adj
dress is still TO be given in the Hall of
Representatives, so it seems that what
ever the causes may be which make it
desirable to elect the officers at Milton,
they do not extend to Mr.. Morriil's adj
dress. Though the secretary's notice
makes no mention of free return checks TO
those paying full furc going to the meet
ing, we have received notice from St
Albans that that courtesy will be extend
ed by the road.
Bearing on this matter we clip the fol
lowing from the Duly Joarnai:
MEssRs. EDITORS Il have noticed in
your paper II card from the secretary o
the association, changing the place of its
business meeting from this place to Mil
ton, while Mr.. Morrill's address is to re
main as at first advertised. In absence o
any other reason, this action seems to mt
IL barefaced attempt on the part of who
ever is responsible for it, to prevent full
| attendance of the members ut this meet
ing, and the more SO rs the secretary
card makes no mention of free returl
checks for those attending the meeting
., from which we must infer that he has nc
secured them; thus in addition to the tax
! ing of that part of the meeting from thi
central location, those attending are to b
| deprived of the benefit Of fare one way
which they would have received had
been held ut Montpelier, us the RAILROAD
extends that courtesy to all who visit her
Turing the session. So the reasons whc
make 1t desirable to remove the meet'n
Tor The election of officers to Milton do nc
extend 20 the hearing of Mr.. Morrill's aC
dress. There can be no graver crime 1t
ward republic of government or assoc
alton than to seek to deprive it of II FIRE
and full expression of its choice in th
election of its officers, andsuch an atteml
when made should be met In II way whiC
would be likely TO prevent its repetition.
