THE srALwART VICTORY.

The die is cast, and the eyes of the De-
mocracy in Ohio sis sot." No returns cas
come in to change the character ofthe victory.
1t is sweeping. 1t is all-sulticient to make
the Republican heart of the Nation glow
with heat and satisfaction. The executive
and legislative branches of the State gov
ernment are Stalwart-with Republican
United States Senator TO occupy the place
so long filled by the "Ohio Idea," which
seems to have been thoroughly exploded by
the dynamite of Republicanism pure and
simple. The tide has set, and, as Speaker
RANDALL is accredited as saying, Nothing
"can stop it" until every department of the
Government is safely lodged in the hands
of its known friends New York, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota,
New jersey Oregon, Wisconsin, Nevada
aud New England will all swing with
the tide into safe Republican moor
ings. A solid North-and very solid at
that-will confront solid South" until
life, liberty, the rights of citizenship and
the pursuit of happiness shall be assured in
every State in the Union. That is just
where this thing will land, and the South,
if it doesn't like it, may thank itself for it.
for it set the example under the shotgun
policy, and solidity, Us it finds is infectious
We have no cause for demonstrations of re-
| joicing, for the tide is so overwhelming tha
it cannot be properly represented in any
| demonstration of satisfaction that human
| ingenuity may invent. Then, again, We
have no desire TO jostle the mourners or ag
gravate their profound grief in this moment
of severe trial. 1t would be unkind to dis
turb them in the midst of SO great sorrow
| Humanity forhids.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-10-16

10 some degree in those execrations. We
could name long list Of brave aud true
men who fought well and earned wei Of
their country's gratitude during the late
war, but who have since linked their des-
tinics with the party of rebellion, and have
made signal wrecks of their political, if not
their personal fortunes thereby. We viii
not name these men now, but may refer to
some of them hereafter, not one of whom
has shared of success since they became
thus identified. The reason is apparant.
The Democratic party, which could not exist
u day but for the disloyal element which
now inspires aud keeps it alive, bears no
love for the men who crushed the rebellion
and saved the Union. If General EWING
had fought on the other side during the
war he would have had heartier support
from the Democrats than he appears to have
done in this contest, and in his fate let all
Union officers and soldiers who have
been at dalliaDce with the ex-Confederate
party read theirs. There is no escape.

questions 70 Mr. TrLDEN which insidiously
betroy n familiarity with the inner work.
ings Of the TuDEN-H HAvEMEYER- POTTER
conspiracy, first to steal the Presidency,
and second to conceal all evidence that
would lead to an exposure ofthat attempted
theft. We admonish the World of its
bcunden duty, now that it has published
these questions to provide answers for them;
such answers, we mean, rs the insinuating
questioner is undoubtedly ready TO make.
No one has ever doubted the fact or asser-
ton that Mr.. POTTER failed Of his duty
pending the so-called title investigation, nor
that he busted himself with successful at
tempts to cover up tho rascality of his fellow
partisans; but these questions open up
new vein of suspicion and afford some def
mite clues which promise to reward further
investigation. They are as follows:
First-Wore cipher dispatches in regard to
electoral votes sent TO HENRY HAvEMEYER2
SecOnd-Was the money contributed by you
for political uses dnring the last Presidential
canvass paid by or through HENRY HAVE
MEYER3
Third-was the deposit of 5000 with MAR
TIN & RUNYoN for use in Oregon after the last
Presidential election made by or through
HENRY HAvEMEYER2
Fourth-Did you agree with others to pay
certain sum of money to purchase the electoral
votes Of Louisiana2
Fifth-Did PELroN send 5000 600 to MEM
bcr Of the Boston Club in New Orleans to pur-
chase one or more of the electoral votes of Lou
isiana
Sixth-Did you promise certain gentleman
that If he would send $4,000 to South Caro-
lima to purchase the electoral vote of that State
you would reimburse him2
Seventh--Did you not refuse to carry out
the arrangements which had been made for
the purchase Of electoral votes In Louisiana
and Sonth Carolina for the reason that you
found you could get one vote in Oregon for n
small sum, aud that "onc vote was as good as
more?
Eighth-Will you state what the two mat
tiers are connected with the electoral count
which the POTTER committee was instructed to
avoid asking about?

HEAVY POLITICAL SACRIFICES.

The result of the election in Ohio fur
nishes food for reflection to General EWING
and all other Union officers during the war,
who have since tried the experiment OF
transplanting themselves into the Demo-
cratic party in the hope Of gaining success,
honor or reiiown politically. He had fair
military record, which, If it had been allied
to higher type of principle and modesty.
and had been attended by more moderate
personal ambition, would have served to
secure for his future fair need of popular
respect during his natural life and left TO
his friends grateful memory when he had
passed away. But he has tried an expert
ment which, in nine cases out of ten, has
shipwreclxed those who have nayigated
those waters. The war of rebellion was
Democratic institution. None but Demo-
Gratis rebelled and attempted to destroy the
National life and hence no other
political party is responsible for the
rebellion and its direful consequences, Cen
erai EWING honored himselfand his country
by his military services during that fearful
struggle, but when it had ended, and his
personal ambition sought qualification in
civil distinction, he tried the experiment
which has so often failed, of handling pitch
without being defled He sought political
friendships and alliances with the party
whose warlke elements he had met and
vanquished on the battlefield He deserted
the party and principles which soyed the
Nation, and entrusted his interests and
hopes with that party which had been false
to the Union, the Constitution and the
| National welfare during the war; and
which has never shown works meet for re-
pentance since armed rebellion ostensbly
surrendered. He has met his just reward
at the bar of public opinion, and has con-
fronted a verdict which it is TO he hoped be
will remember with profit to the last
hour of his existence. He has dimmed
the lustre of his military record by consort.
ing with and trusting to party which Il
none the less hostile to the public welfare
now than during the war, but is far lesi
brave in carrying out that hostility TO il
logical conclusions. This country will never
respect and love him again as il would have
done had he been more consistent in stand
ing by its interests and welfare since peace
ensued,
General EWING is only a type of clas
who fought the Democrats with bullets
during the war, and has aided them in al
effort TO Overturn and reverse the results o
that struggle with the ballot since armed
rebellion ceased. This is the mistake tha
has been made by many others who camt
out of the war with fair patriotic and mil
itary record and havesince concluded to linl
their political destinies with party which
has not drawn q loyal breath withir
twenty years. This party must ultimately
be execrated by every loyal man, woman
and child in the land, and those who have
allied themselves to its fortunes must share
