: stood alans and refused 10 mske any
con binations and this has weakened
the Democrats unors thar the Republi
oans. One Of ths uost important and
. slgni6csnt facts 10 b. considered In this
, connection is that the Democrat and
Greenback vote combined In nearly all
the States now carried by the Republi
cans, is greater than the Republican
= vote.
Making due allowances TO our abl.
contemporary for his Grsenback pro,
clivities, We think he Ia about hall
, right but II there had been no Green,
back party ths heavy msjorities Of the
Republicans could not have been over
come, even allowing that two-thirds Of
the new party had been Democrats. -
The Republican victory was an upris-
ing of the people against the usurpa-
tions OF the South, and We would ad-
Wis. the News to get out Of the Green
back Delilah's lap and stand by the
old party.
From the stats Sentinel
There didn't seem TO be many Repub-
leans In Delaware last Tuesday, but a
few we're heard from In Pennsylvania
and New York.
There ar. as many in Delaware to-
day a. there ever we're, aad iftheir dis
abilities were removed they would
carry Delaware over to the Republi.

The Democrats have very nearly a
Solid South, but II n a feeble reliance
A. against the imposing array Of Com.
monwsalths that wheel into line, and
give assurance that the Presidential
campaign OF 1880 Is to be conducted to
a R-pu blican success by the assertion
Of a sound financial policy, and by the
advocacy OF all measures that make for
the peace, unity and prosperity Of the
country. On thr
whole. the survey Is most cheering and
gratifying. The election has consolida.
ted our forces, and has proved beyond
controversy that Republicans must
stand by their principles and their
men, and that in so standing they have
an irresistible power,
We are with you Sentinel. Let us
have no side shows for 1880, and We
will have an old fashioned Republican
President elected by an old fashioned
Rspu blican majority.
From the Newark Ledger
As We anticipated Mr.. Dean has been
triumphantly elected, and W. heartily
him on his success. He
fell few hundred votes behind the
remainder Of his ticket, but that fact,
we think, 10 TO his advantage. Some
of the opposition To him WAS senselsss
and absurd. and some was q high COM
pliment to his honesty and integrity.
He goes to the Legislature untrammeled
In the right.
We rather think We can join with
the Ledger in its jubilations over Mr..
Deans success, and II he possesses all
the good qualities attributed to him, ,
he will be the Rrst to make move to :
have the present law for the assessment
and collection Of taxes amended, SO :
that Republicans may have q chance to
become franchised citizens. r
The Greenback party may thank the
Lord that although they did not kill X
neither did they get killed,
or they never had any life In this .

President Hayes has not killed the
