The New York Press on the Result.
THE SUN
this morning says: Upon the whole the re-
turns seem to warrant the conclusion that
the Republicans of all sorts will have thirty
of the fifty-four members in Congress, and
the Democrats and their allies will have the
remaining twenty-four. Full returns may
add one and possibly two to the Democratic
column, and there is even talk of the elec-
tion of two Greenback Democrats in Iowa.
If these figures hold true the Democrats
have made slight gain thus far in this
falls contest for Congress. Tammany Hall
began several months ago by declaring Mr..
Hayes title sacred The Democratic State
canon did little better. Nothing was
said in the resolutions about the
unconstitutional Electoral Bill. Now the
Democrats have been defeated and dis
graced in recent elections. We do not say
the Republicans merit success, but the
Democrats certainly deserve the defeat they
have sustained.
| THE HERALD
says: We still wait for full returns from
the Ohio and Indiana elections, but enough
is known to show the Democrats. have
gained two and perhaps three Congressman
in Ohio and possibly one in Indiana A
notable feature of the result is the poor
show made by the Greenback National
party. No one now doubts that if the Dem
ocratic party in Ohio had dropped its silly
fraud cry and its equally silly initiation ap
peal and placed itself boldly on a SOUND
currency platform it would have swept the
State.
THE TIMES
says: By our special dispatches from De-
Moines it will be seen the Greenbacl
strength in Iowa has turned out to be much
greater than was anticipated from earlier
reports. La est returns from Ohio indicate
a total National vote of not over thirty
thousand, showing a general tendency 0
the movement in that State towards disso
luton as an independent movement, thougl
they also point to gradual amalgamatiol
of the Greenbackers with the Democrats.
THE TRIBUNE
says: The National Party, comparatively
of such slight importance in Ohio, ha
made its mark in Indiana and Iowa. II
Iowa the Greenback vote has had al
unexpected result, destroying the solidit,
of the delegation in Congress by the elec
ton of two candidates indorsed both by tn,
Democrats and Greenbackers In Wes
Virginia the Greenback vote was large bu
the Democrats obtained all the Congress
men.
| THE WORLD
says: The Democrats have no cause to b.
displeased with the results of Tuesday
work. They made gains in direction
where the fight really waged, and strength
ened considerably their position for 1880.
