The tidal wave has passed, the storm
lin a teapot is over, and bright and
glorious the grand old Democratic flag
waves in the autumnal breeze. The
principles of Democracy must live
hile there are intelligence and honor,
they cannot die and Republican insti-
tutions live.
Yes, but Democracy don't pan out
we'll where the people are intelligent
and are not cheated and defrauded out
of their rights. 1t has only weathered
through this year in the solid South,
and there by violence, intimidation and
fraud.

If President Hayes wanted an oppor-
tunity to reconsider his policy of 'local
self-government" for the Southern
States, the men who have been stufing
the hallo.-boxes in South Carolina,
Louisiana and Florida have given it to
him.
We pres ume that not only President
Hayes but the whole North, Judging
from the way it voted at the last elec.
ton, is satisfied that the "policy" is a
failure. But what next9
The whole North has pronounced for
a sound national currency. Why did
not the "solid South" go and do like
wise
The question of depriving Repu Bill
cans of their votes and electing TX
reoels to Congress was of more conse-
quence to the Southern Democracy
than finance.
From the Peninsular News.
The Democrats having failed to secure
a aiority of States in the Forty sixth
Congress, will make tremendous efforts
to unseat Republicans enough to make
the House Democratic counted by
States. This will be the first move to-
ward securing th4 Presidency in 1850.
The peop.e, if so minded, can save the
House further trouble about the elec.
tio.l Of Prs5ident.
FROM present appearances there will
be 10 election of President by the
House, and We most urgently request
our able contemporary to leave off the
worship ofits Greenback idols and march
to victory with the victorious Repuhli-
cans, with either Conkling, Blaine or
Grant as the leader.
Under such circumstances the natur.
al tendency is for the proud and haughs
ty leaders OF both sections to join hands
against the people and bring out for
the next National Republican ticket,
For President,
GEN, ULYSSES s, GRANT.
Eor Vice President,
THOMAS FRANCIS BAYARD.
The former the representative of the
interest of the Plutocrats of the No tn,
md the latter the representative of the
Arlstorrats of the South.
We clip the above from long edito-
'ial on the lessons of the elections. in
which the editor in his arguments in
favor of the new party facetiously pre-
sents the ticket uamed.
From the Middletown Transcript.
The subject of the division of New
Castle county is now beginning to re-
ceive grave attention from thinking
people, not only here within the county
bounds but in other portions of the
state. Wilmington, making rapid
growth in industry and population.
and large enough for a county in her
self, seeks Increased repres sentation in
the Legislature of the State, and it
seems that only by division can this
be done in fairness to the rural portion
of the county as we'll as the remainder
of the State.
Why not have representation by dis
tricts neighbor and according to popu-
lation. That would remedy the diff.
culty. New Castle is a small county
both in territory and population com
pared with Lancaster, Chester, Berks,
and dozen more in Pennsylvapia.-
Hope there is no political colored gen.
tleman in the woodpile in the" desire TO
have the county divided.
Mr.. Jackson stands considerably more
Of chance of being struck by lightning
than he does of ever getting a seat in
Congress from the State of Delaware.
We never thought there was much
chauce of Mr.. Jackson getting into Con-
gress, but then we like to see the Dem
ocrats squirm, you know

So long as the Democrats continued
to grow in the North, their bulldozing
