NEW YORK DAILY TRIBUNE THURSDAY. OCTOBER % 1879

the election It's ground il that the recnpcrat o. OF
the -iate II delayed b. the increasing agitation oi
tho subject, aud that decision ~ favor oil honest
settlement Vii be great siImulant TOWARD ie-
turu OF prosperity. On political grounds, n urges
that the National Democratic party II already
greatly embarrassed W the southern repnhiahoh
record. ADD that n viii have much hcavier lOa'i
10 carry In tho next Presidential election, II Ola
Virginia shall 90 tins Fall for ioreible readjust-
mcni." There Is no doubt about that.
Secretary Evarts actually laughed at the Young
ScraicAers. Rum! Runl
1t has been discovered by the most callow If the
deputy Democratic editors that Secretary EyarIs
lnade d" low partisan speech - on Tuesday evening.
That is the way II strikes l1den, tco.
There are good many signs Of trepidation in the
Southern Democratic journals over the Ohio defeat.
Some of them think the result makes Tiden more
of a necessity TO the party than ever, while Others
think the only hope is 10 strike a blow at the sec
ional issue by nominating Hancock. They are
agreed only in cursing the Ohio Idea, and IN pro-
nOupcIng Thurman out of the race. The journals
that for Tllden before the election for him
now more earnestly than ever The exclted disciple
oi Reform IN Mississippi declares that II the south
were called upon 10 decide the question there would
20 mp such a shout for Sam IIlden as would cause
the stars To tremble" That mans call the barrel
was undoubtedly hOnored.
The Hancock boom would have more ego" in IT
If there were barrel behind 1t.
Lamarls "hurling his knightly lance" from the
stump almost daily in Mississippi, but still the
Yazoo and Chsom murderers remain endorsed"
Hls silence on these atTOcIOus crimes Is one more
proof that public sentiment IN Mississippi upholds
the perpetrators ot them.
Hoadley says he is welded to Tilden.' Now
can Tilden wall with Slender, Married to big,
mulberry boy'
Congressman Singleton is a boiler man than
Lamar. He has made a speech in Mississippi which
- said to contain the argument that Barksdale shot
Dixon IN the back to save the country from the
race ISSUE, and, therefore, performed a patriotic
service. Singleton is more of prophet than he
dreams OF. The shooting Of Southern independents
Will in time lead 10 the salvation of tine country
from the race Issue. for it will raise up North 50
solid that II will force the South 10 give the negro
and his friends fair chance. That ~ the only
possible limitation OF the race ISSUE and the bull
dozcrs and Yazoo murderers are helping 1t forward
more rapidly than anyone else.
An asylum for disabled and infrm Democratic
statesmen would do a lively business for the next
ten or twenty years
Already there is talk of the valiant efforts which
che Democratic statesmen Of the North will make 10
hold their fiery Southern brethren in cheek when
Congress roassembes All the disasters of the year
a.e charged upon the latter. If the Southern Brig
adIers had kept their mouths closed, all wonid have
been we'll the Northern Democrats say. This IS nor
strictly true. The Northern Democrats were scarcely
less revolutionary than their Southern allies. lhe
Hon. ;. :. Cox was a tremendous reyolutonist al
one tme ana offered TO block tho wheels Of Govern
meat with hs own doughty body if no one else were
bold enough Springer was also untamed mp to the
last moment and only closed hi' mouth when IN"
session closed 1t for time. He expired with Bis
iaw going like "a lg-saw on spree TO De sue
blackburn eclipsed all other reYo.utlOuisrs when Doe
declared the purpose of the party 20 Ice 10 WIPE
the last ve,tpe of war legislation from the statute
books and Beck was hardly less reckless an lis
opening declarations concerning the caucus piu-
yl.mune; Vet, ii should be borne m mind that the
Northern Democrats, with the exception OF tei-
lando Wood We're he eager allies oi tie Nonledti-
ates IN all the revolutionary schemes oi the eXii'
session. The responsibility rests upon the Whole
