ton in national politics from which he has
now been driven in discredit. He may not
have been as conscious perhaps Of his own
true position in our politics as he has now
been made to be, but political life was as ex-
tinct in him then as it now is, and his condl-
ton was as obvious then to all discerning
men as it now must be to himself. Hence
forth no intelligent person will mention him
seriously as possible candidate for the Presi-
dency. Neither will anybody mention him
seriously as possible candidate for the hon
ors of his own State. His position in the
politics of his OWN State is that of a marplot
who could neither succeed himself nor would
allow men to succeed who had in themselves
the elements Of success of which he had at
least permitted himself to be deprived. He
lashed his own political corpse as closely as he
could to the living candidate of the Democ-
racy of New York, and if the State has there
by lost the honest service Of the one, it has
at least been thereby delivered of the incum-
brance of the other.

The election of Cornell to the gubernato.
rial chair of New York is Republican sui
eide 1t is not triumph of the Republican
ism that can stand the test of the conslderate
Judgment of patriotic people. On the con-
trary, it is the victory of banded plunderers
from both political camps, and it is a reproach
to Republicanism that is likely to end Repub-
lican supremacy in the Empire State: In
the otherwise starless midnight that envelopes
the crushed Democracy of the North, the
success of Cornell must haunt in the face OF
every honest Republican the base uses to
which grand party can be prostituted. and
it will be the one hope to give promise OF the
great pivotal State of the Union being in the
Democratic column in 1880. Had Cornell
been defeated and the acceptable Republican
State candidates elected, the Electoral vote OF
New York would have been reasonably as
sured to the Republican Presidential candi-
date next year; but with the only positive
Republican triumph stained with the em-
braces of Tammany jobbers, the Democracy
of the Nation will turn hopefully to the con.
trolling Commonwealth of the Union as their
reliance for victory. There are victories at
times which are vastly more disastrous than
defeat, and the Republican victory of Cor
nell is one of them.
New York Times, Republican,
This is the result of the aggressive" can.
vass which the Democrats 80 dehantly an
nounced at the extra session of Congress.
The questions which were then placed before
the people have been thoroughly understood,
and everything has been subordinated to
them. The almost uniform and very remark
able Republican gains show that public opin-
ion has been quietly but completely aroused.
that the solid South, whatever its purposes or
spirit, will not be allowed to get in the North
the Electoral votes which it needs to take
control of the national government. Let US
hope that this temperate but decided express
sion of the sentiment of the country will
finally dispose of the sectional issue which
was 40 foolishly raised by the Democracy,
and leave opportunity for the fair settlement
of other and more profitable, if not more i'm
portant, questions
s@> A strange featured in the great stock spec
ulations going on in New York, is that the
creditors ofJay Cooke will receive their claims
in full with about seven per cent. added.
Jay Cookies failure, which started the panic
in 1873, was due to the fall in the price of
stocks. His property was put in the hands
of receiver, who has already paid out about
fifty per cent. 1t is estimated that at the pres
ent value of stocks, claim of thousand
dollars will receive thousand and seventy
two dollars. As an instance of the rise, it is
stated that St. Paul & Duluth stock, once re-
garded as worthless, now brings twenty eight
dollars, and Western Pacific, quoted at six
teen at the time of failure, now commands
sixty. .
