that this tendency towards independence Of
mere party control will be encouraged until
the wisest and best Of all parties can be de-

matters Of local concern
\ Philadelphia Times; SIN the otherwise
starless midnight that envelopes the crushed
democracy of the North, the success of
Cornell must faunt in the face Of every
honest republican the base uses to which a
grand party can be prostitutsd, and it will
be the one hope to give promise OF the great
pivotal State OF the Union being in the
democratic column at $780,
Washington Star: s'The peculiar aspect
Of the vote in New York State is that the
presidential question is no. yet settled In
favor OF the republicans. They have elected
Cornell and carried the Legislature, to be
sure. but it is pretty evident that but for
John Kelly's detection Robinson would have
been elected, and this leaves the question ia
doubt whether the democrats cannot carry
the great pivotal State in $780, that is, If the
factions can succeed in harmonizfng their
quarrels and uniting upon presidential
candidate. The result apparently shelves
Tilden as a candidate, and at the same time
kills off John Kelly and Tammany. While
Mr.. Til9en would appear to be himself dis
placed as a candidate, it is. pretty evident
that the democracy cannot afford to dispense
with his aid in carrying New York, and
therefore he is likely to have a potential
voice in saying who shall be the candi-
date"
Wilmington (Del9 Every Evening "Tbe
universal opinion seems that the defeat Of
Gov. Robinson puts Mr.. Tilden outside the
list Of possible Democratic candidates, and
it is equally the opinion of all intelligent
democrats outside New York that the mans
| ner Of Robinson's defeat ought to and will
put John Kelly and those who still adhere
to him out Of the counsels of the democratic
party"
Philadelphia Record: "The defeat Of Gov.
Robinson in New York is not so much an
advertisement Of the strength OF Tammany
as of the weakness of Tilden. IL is simply
notice Of the Democracy of New York to
the Democracy of the Union that they have
unseated the Old Man OF Gramercy Park
from his perch on the neck of the party.
The vote for the balance of the Democratic
State ticket in New York shows that the
heart OF the party is whole and sound.
Philadelphia North American: s'Against
the South we have no animosity. For its
people as mass this journal entertafns only
the warmest sympathies in all things that
merit esteem Or success. Against usurpa-
! ton, political despotism, caste terrorism,
and the intense sectionalism that ruins
southern interests, we are and always shall
be resolutely firm"
Philadelphia Inquirer s'The country is
upon the eve Of one of the most momentous
struggles in its political history, and it be-
hooves every Republican and every patriotic
citizen to prepare for the final battle with
the solid South and its Northern allies.

Philadelphia Press: 'sThese Republican
victories are chiefly valuable as forecasting
the result Of next years election, when the
people will be able to elect, in harmony
with Republican President, Congress
which will bow to the popular will. Then
the country will have taken the final step
which will bring peace to the distracted
section and Astounding prosperity to ALL,

Cornell goes into the governorship on a
partial Republican vote, supplemented by SO
much Of the rag-tag and bob-tail elements
Of the Democratic party as could be induced

Tammany Hall boss. and about the only
practical result that respectable Republicans
can take any comfort in is the squelchment
OF Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden, through the defeat
