PlrH OF THE PRBss.

:
Democratic year is 1880; 1879 is now
conceded 10 the Republicans.
Albany Journal (Rep): We have the
strongest conviction that Alonzo B. Cor
nell will justify the high trust which the
people have reposed in his hands.
Boston Herald Qnd.): It can hardly
be said that in the Tilden income-tax
suit the defendant takes the course that
would be followed by one wholly guilt
less of the charge made against him.
New York Sun (Ind. Dem.): The solid
vote of Pennsylvania for Hancock in the
Democratic National Convention next
year would be liable to make an impress
sion on the minds of delegates from more
than one Southern State
New York Sun (Dem.): Mr. Tilden
might we'll have been content to triumph
over his Republican opponents. He
seemed, however, equally determined to
give no quarter to what might be called
the other wing of his own party.
Dayton Democrat (Dem.): John Sher-
mans letter declining the Ohio Senator
ship "is less emphatic than the friends
of the other candidates would wish. The
same may be said of Grants reported ut
terance regarding his candidacy for the
Presidency
Columbus Courier Qnd.): Halstead
is still clamoring for nation with a
big an" and States that shall bear the
"slme relation to the general government
that the counties do to the State Gov
ernment," and yet he feels insulted
when any one intimates that he is in
favor of Capitalization.
Buffalo Courier (Dem.): The chances
of the party's success in next years con-
test entirely depend upon the wisdom,
patriotism and harmony of its councils.
From the rank and file should now go up
to the leaders an admonition that may
be expressed in the language of great
French statesman: "You can not afford
to make a single new blunder."
New York Times (Rep): Apart from
the folly and disgrace of making Kelly
the financial dictator of the city, such an
arrangement would, on the lowest parti-
San ground, be very poor one for Re-
publicans. To keep the two Democratic
factions from making terms with each
other, and to secure for the political mi
nority the maximum of influence in
city affairs, the best plan is to reach
some working agreement with the Mayor
and the seven Anti-Tammany Aldermen
on whom he can, presumably, rely for
support
Providence Press (Ind): Nothing is
certain as to the campaign of next year.
Massachusetts,, of course, will be Repub-
liean, but pivotal New York is doubtful.
The Empire State has simply voted its
lack of confidence in Senator ConkIing,
Mr.. Tilden and John Kelly, but it was
not necessary to vote this, as all was
known beforehand. Neither was it neces-
sary to give fair warning to the South
it has been warned sufficiently, and un-
less it will learn liberation, together with
little timely wisdom, it will be handled
without gloves at the next election.
Baltimore Gazette Dem.): The Pad
justers in Virginia have so small ma
jority that they will be comparatively
powerless so far as legislation is con-
cerned, for Gov. Holiday will veto any
reputation measure, and they can not
pass it over his veto. But they may elect
Gen. Malone as United States Senator to
succeed Senator Withers, and this would
be great disaster. He is in all his rela-
tions as railroad man, lobbyist and poll
tician reproach to the State, and to
elect him as its representative in the
United States Senate would be deplor-
able.
New York Tribune (Rep.): A Boston
correspondent calls attention to some GU
rious results in the voting on Tuesday.
These show that though Butler was de-
feated, his hold on the Democratic party
OF Massachusetts is actually strength
ened Even the historic name of Adams
could not keep as many votes for the reg
ular Democratic ticket as were given to
Abbott last year, and in eleven of the
nineteen cities of the State Butler re-
ceived more votes than last year. Gen
eral Butler will never be elected Govern
or of Massachusetts, but Judging from
present appearance, he can amuse him
self by running for the Office as long as
he lives.
Boston Advertiser (Rep.): We start
fair, then, for 1880. There is nothing
necessary to be gained in order to carry
the country. There is a good chance for
gaining more. North Carolina is by no
means hopeless, nor is it idle to entertain
some idea of carrying other States. But
is only essential to hold our own. And
that is to be done by holding fast to the
principles which have restored the Re-
publican party to ascendancy. ALWAYS
the defender of the public faith, it has
in these last years waged stout and no.
BILE battle to maintain it. No apparent
odds against the party, no detection to
