| eOge OF panic. fusu IL over.
Kearney had better retire his private Secre-
try on pension and buy dIay.
Hendricks regrets among other things that
be stumped Pennsylvania for Dill.
The fraud cry will not be permitted to rest
till the Republicans ring few changes on it.
Moses doesn't care for an electric light
The sunlight of publicity" is bright enough
for him.
| Governor Hampton's fall to stuffed ballot
box was much more damaging than his fall
| from that mule.
The coparceners will realize presently that
the Tribune was true friend when it advised
them to emigrate.
If the cipher revelations had been made be-
fore the October elections, where would the
Democracy be now?
Banks thinks Cewgill ought not to have
written such letter. Probably Moses is also
convinced that it was an ungentlemanly act.
Butler says be will not give up the fight,
and Massachusetts wishes TO know which
party he will capture to make his next on
slaught with.
| The Democrats announce that thev will try
| to get along without New York in 1880. The
Republicans propose to get along with it.
That's the difference.
The originator of the "Ohio idea" rises to
say that henceforth his offspring will be the
cornerstone of the party. Wouldn't grave
stone fit the case closer?
In his talk with Controller Cowgirl, Mr.
Marble made one mistake. He said, "You
= T fIa- L,,N
Mr.. Marble, only Mr.. Cowgirl was the gen.
tleman. You are ''gent."
The Democracy is drifting into lively
quarrel on the proposal to throw Tilden and
| his cipherers overheard. This is all it should
be- The hotter the dispute the less there
will be left Of the party in 1880.
1t Iemains for Mobile to explain how it
happens that man with Mr. Tilden's abso-
lutte reliance on moral forces, should feel the
need of such large and varied assortment of
immoral coparceners to help him rely.
The Southern editor remarked after cleo
! tion that the S2uth was solid, and the North
had its Radical leaders to thank for making it
so. After he sees that the North is solid,
with 213 electoral votes, the editor aforesaid
will cease to chuckle.
A report comes from Illinois that ex- Ex-senator
Logan has a good prospect for succeeding
Senator Ogiesby in the United States Senate.
| Mr.. Logan did good service for honest mon
! ey in the last campaign by leading the Re-
! publican party on that issue. -
! The untamed fraud-shrieker shows a disuo-
sition to make final effort to keep his issue
alive by stirring up the Louisiana case. That
gun has an awful kick to it, and if the shriek>
tr knew the charge the Republicans have IN
it, he would keep stiller than Moses.
If Hendricks is really determined to be-
come hard money disciple he must give the
order to have Voorhees, thrown over in Indi-
| ana. If Voorhees, goes back to the Senate it
will be because Hendricks orders it, and for
no other reason, since the party would prefer
a more rational candidate, if it could have its
| own way.
Democratic newspapers are very solemn
reading now. The longer their editors look
at the electoral figures which the election
shows on the Republican side the bluer do
they become. They all agree that nothing
/ but the hardest kind of work can save their
/ party in 1880, and they talk IS If they had
little hope of saving it at all.
Ex-Secretary Chandler is delighted with
the political stu iion. He considers the
Republican party stronger than it was two
! years ago, and believes Grant ar Blaine can
! be e,sily elected President in 1880. He says
Bayard is the only respectable candidate the
| Democrats have left, but he does not believe
they will nominate him. That is the view
hrld by nearly all experienced observers
Bayard is the only uninjured candidate, and
he could not be elected.
All of the State Senators elected this year
| in New Jersey will vote for United States
| Senator, and not one of them is straight
, Democrat. In the counties which will elect
Safe Senators next year, the vote last week
foreshadows Republican gains in the same
direction. The new Republican Legislature
will undoubtedly repeal the iniquitous redis-
tricting laws passed by the Democrats last
Winter, and this will help the Republicans to
retain their supremacy in the Assembly.
In summing up the causes for the Republi-
can victory, due thanks should be given to
the valiant service of the Potter Commit ee
Next to the cipher disclosures the Grand Com
bination Exhibition of Imbeciles and Truth
Shatterers probably did more to defeat the
Democrats than any other one cause. The
committee demonstrated that it was impossi-
bic to find any Republican fraud, and that
even the most cautious "Reform" investiga-
tor wss unable TO do days work without
/
two.
A curious indication of the brightness of
the Republican outlook is the alacrity with
which certain assistant Democratic newspa'
pers, which have been amusing themselves
and the public by pretending to be independ-
ent, are veering around to the Republican
side. One or two of them Topped with great
alacrity the morning after election, and when
some surprise at the change was manifested,
the reply was, in effect "Why, bless your
heart, we have been on this side all the time.
You have misunderstood u.s." They even
jeer at the fallen Democracy.
The late Greenback candidate for Governor
of Pennsylvania has given an excellent de-
monstration of the reasons for his devotion to
the "more money" principle. On Friday last
he made an assignment of over $25, 900 to
meet the clamorous demands of small army
of unsatisfied creditors. If all his creditors
had voted for him he might have been elected,
and it is wonder they didn't, for that seems
to have been the only way in which they
could hope to get their money. Perhaps,
though, they we're afraid he would pay them
in special issue Of fat money.
The usual responses to the bull-dozing and
ballot box stuffing reports from South Caro-
lima are made by the Democratic Journals
They are all denounced as "Radical lies" as
the "old bloody-shirt stuff told over again. =
All right, gentlemen. Go on defending this
sort of thing as you defended the ciphers
The heavier load you carry the further in the
rear will you be found at the end of the next
race. If you think the people will be satisfied
when you account for so, 900 Democratic ma

Republican is going to interfere when the
Democratic party deliberately sets to work to
cut its own throat.
There are many reasons why the Green.
hackers should be classed with the Democrats
in the next Congress. The Democratic door
is open, and the Republican door is shut
They can get nothing from the Republicans,
neither sympathy, aid nor recognition. The
