anu ~ - amazing That such deicc.
tion in the Democratic party in New
York did not entirely sweep away the
party success, when the divided De.
mocracy confronted nm united Repub-
lican party, or the Republican party
almost united. At this moment dis.
patches show that the Democratic
party has probably carried the State
Of New York by a plurality Of fifteen
thousand, while Cornell has been cleo.
ted Governor bya plurality Of from
ten thousand to fifteen thousand. The
imperial State Of New York saved to
the Democratic party in an hour in
winch most unhappy and bitter
quarrel placed that Democratic State
in the greatest peril. Its a danger

seventy.iive thousand men within

the ticket Il is a great party, Of
splendid discipline. Of fine devotion,
Of matchlcss tenacity, that can pass
safely through such a peril inside the
party. when the greatest perils out
side the party also needed to be over
come. Whatever the effect of the
New York election may he upon in
dividual candidates,it any, NewYork,
in a trying time, appears as Demo
cratic State. Not even a stupendous
Democratic quarrel in New York
could give New York to the Republi.
can party. Conkling rises as a con-
querer, not because he nominated the
strongest candidate At Saratoga, but
because he elected an unpopular can.
didate through Democratic derisions,
and the Legislature is Republican.
The power of Kelly, the tenacious
is evident, and il is not
small. The effect upon Mr.. Tilden
must be coolly calculated. The great
fact Is Of more importance than Mr..
Tilden's ambitions or Mr.. Kelly's
spites, and il is that out of this years
elections the Republican party carried
no State which was not Republican
before. Ben Butler is beaten in Mas.
'achusels, but the Republican party
: in a minority, even in that State. |
In the other elections there are no
important changes. The Republican
riumph of yesterday consists in the
lection to the Governorship Of New

spewed out of Office

gain appears as the party of invinci-
lie hope, of perennial vigor, which
