nor of this State. Yet il is said. by men who seem
TO have no respect for truth when personal
spite can be served by falsehood, that the re-
suit i'm this State contrasts poorly with Re
publican gains in Ohio. The simple truth
is that the Republicans carried ONO
in 1876 for their State ticket by
A.773 majority, and have elected their Gov
ernor this wear by 1,G11 majority over all.
The Democrats carried New-York In 1876
for Governor Robinson 10y 2i,T53 majority
oyer all. and the Republicans now elect nearly
an the candidates on their State ucket,
some of them falling but little short oi
clear majority. The Republicans OF OHIO are
relatively weaker than they were at iheh
last full vote. while the Republicans oi New
York are relatively at least 2o'ooo No'eS
stronger than they were at the last l'iii No'o
in this State.
The success of party depends, not upon
the law. ouerulous or self-seekng gentlemen
who get spiteful when they are not hlio"eu
TO do all the debating, but upon the s'al-
wart believers in its principles, and the earn
est workers who put their shoulders to the
wheel and form the organization. The noml-
n,tlous tbis wear seemed, in the main, to
please the men who do the work. 1t makes
less difference whether they pleased the men
whose part in campaign is to do the growing.
They were not nominations of our making,
or in all cases to our liking. But when they
were fairly made, we believed 1t for the best
interests of the country that they should be
ratified at the polls; and the result proves
that in this view THE TRIBUNE had the ap-
proval of an overwhelming majority of the
Republicans of the State.

The annual reunions Of the survivors of our
volunteer armies are something more than
celebrations of good fellowship. The war
which brought these men face to face with
death WAS one of the greatest demonstrations
of heroic and patriotic feeling that modern
times have witnessed, and it Is impossible for
the actors in such struggle to renew the
memories OF the camp and field without re-
newing also the ennobling impulses which
prompted their brave deeds and their self
sacrifice We laid aside long ago all the ami
mosites of the war but the spirit Of the
war we ought to keep alive and strong by
every means in our power.
The meeting of the Army of the Cumber-
land next week at Washington will derive
especial significance from the ceremonies con-
nected with the unveilng of Mr.. Wards
splendid equestrian statue of Major General
Thomas, not only Oh account of the intrinsic
importance of this work Of our distinguished
American sculptor, but still more because of
the personal character of the soldier whom it
commentaries In spite of the magnificent
achievements of Grant and Sherman, 1t il
probable that General Thomas will always be.
in the estimation of those who fought under
him. and in the sober Judgment of history,
what Horace Greeley called HIM nearly ten
years ago. the Model Soldier of the War. His
fame rests upon something besides his brilliant
services and great warhke capacity; no other
General presents such shining example of mill
tary success, illustrating a grand heroic temper
and an exquisite personal character. I" The
very impersonatiOn OF honesty, integrity and
honor" wrote General Sherman, in his
order announcing the death of Thomas to the
Army, "he will stand to us as the beau ideal

COLLISIONS q r SCI.

The story telcgraphed from st. John that
the lookout-men on the Arizona were not at
their posts when the steamer struck the lee
berg because the bows had just been painted,
should not me hastily accepted 1t comes ap-
parently from passengers, and passengers are
not likely to know what goes at night out
mt the bows. The absence of lookout for
ward after dark, in any part of the sea, would
be gross delinquency; but to assert that such
an ordinary safeguard was omitted on hrst-
class passenger steamship in crossing the ice
berg track fairly staggers credulIty. The
course which the floating bergs generally take
is well known, and on all decently managed
vessels close watch Is kept for ice,
and the temperature of the water Is
frequently tested. We cannot suppose that
the commander of the Arizona deliberately
neglected all the customary precautions; nor
can we assume that the men charged with the
lookout were allowed to desert their stations
without eravcly iuculpating the officer of the
watch
At the same time t is difficult to account
for the accident, except upon the theory OF
criminal negligence somewhere. 1t was fair
night and a huge iceberg sixty OF seventy
feet out Of water and several hundred feet III
diameter ought to he tOlerably conspicuous
object but nobody on board the Arizona ap-
pears to have seen it until the ship struck II
at full speed. 1t will, perhaps. prove that
the lookout forward was aseepi but even so,
it is strange that nothing should have been
seen from the bridge. An American naval
officer who recently crossed on the Pereire
spoke with admiration OF the careful lookout
kept on that vessel. At night, even in fair
weather, men were always stationed in the
fore-tops as well rs at the bows, and every
few minutes the officer Of the watch assured
himself that they were awake and at their
posts by means OF IN exchange oi signals
with the whistle. The French Line, some
years ago, had terrible lesson, and Is not
likely row to neglect any precauuon against
collisions. The owners Of the Arizona fOrtu-
nately have not paid so dear for what they
have learned about icebergs. but they will
probably make n prompt of their kn0wl-
edge and first of all we presume they will
institute an inquiry into the state Of things
existing on board that ship last Friday night.
The loss OF the Champion 10y collision with
the Lady Octavia, on bright night, shows
still worse case of negligence than the Arizona
accident but we cannot tell at present where
the chief blame should be placed. The
officer of the watch was drowned, and none
of the survivors appear to know what oc-
CURED before the collision. Whenever one
ship runs into another it may be taken for
granted that there is either criminal reckless
ness OF gross incapaclty on one of the vessels
or on both. 1t is only III the rarest circum
stances that collisions at sea, In clear weather,
can be called "accidents"; and in this in
stance, when it is admitted that the two ships
we're visible to each other at least ten min
utos before they met, the disaster is abso-
lutely ineXcuSablp.
