WITHOUT REPROACH.

1t is not out OF place, now that the cam
paign is so nearly ended, to remind Repub-
lcans that their nominee for Governor has
come out of the ordeal of hostile inquiry and
criticism, which candidate for high Office
must always undergo, with character both
as public official and private citizen that
is absolutely without bemish.
Mr.. Cornell is not an obscure man who has
no record. For many years ho held positions
of responsibility and prominence The keen
scrutiny of his political antagonists has failed
to find single act in his career which
cannot stand the test of the highest
standard of official integrity. And when
that scrutiny has been directed to
the relations of private life 1t has dis
covered nothing to place against the unani-
nous testimony of the neighbors who have
known him from boyhOod to his personal in-
tegrity and moral worth. In all the affairs of
life Mr.. Cornell has borne himself as an up
right. conscientious gentleman. True. there are
men who can write more ingenious political
letters and make better figure as orators. As a
cryptogamst lie would never be success.
He could probably not invent system of
ciphers, If he were to try. He has a
plain, blunt nature, that goes straight
forward to its objects Everybody knows
where to find him. In politics, he
is an earnest, unswerving stalwart Republican.
In business relations, he pays his debts to the
last penny. whether the law obliges him to or
not, and is scrupulOusly honorable in all his
transactions. In his country home, he is a
good neighbor and a public-spirited citizen.
In official station, his conduct is regulated
by n standard of duty that Is never lowered
at the bidding Of personal interests. When
Mr.. Tilden, who stands sponsor for his princi-
pal antagonist, was engaged in evading the
payment of income tax on enormous sums,
Mr.. Cornell insisted on paying larger tax OH
his salary than the Government required,
because he believed the Governments inter-
probation of the law was wrong, and would
not stand the test of judicial revision.
Republicans have therefore no reason to be
ashamed Of their candidate, nor have they any
occasion to defend him. The Democrats
themselves, by their failure to find any flaw
in either his official career or his personal
reputation, have demonstrated his fitness for
the place he occupies in the canvass and the
place he will be called to occupy 10y the re-
suit of the election. AS a candidate leading
the Republican ticket, he Is without reproach.
As Governor of New-York, his record and
character give the right to expect that he will
be prudent conscientious and devoted to the
people's business. What more could be de-
sired
New-York tribune., 1879-11-03

politics than city people. They read fewer
newspapers perhaps. but they think about what
they read, and their beliefs are the fruits OF
their own sober judgment. Thus they are not
easily shaken in their party attachments.
When the issues of canvass do not appear
strongly to their sentiment of patriotism.
they may refrain from voting through lack OF
interest, but the transfer of u large body OF
rural voters from one side to the other very
rarely happens.
rhis year is especially bad time
for tho success of the Tilden scheme.
No class of Republicans was so quick to
take alarm at the Democratic plot to destroy
the results of the war the farmers. Their
indignation was hot and fierce before men in
towns and cities became fully aroused. Less
subject to the transient excitements which
sway the minds of people in the centres or
population, and less concerned about the
minor questions Of politics that come up from
year to year. the terrible struggle between
the Nation and the Rebellion remains fresh In
their memories. The approaching election
they regard as their opportunity to protest
against the breaking down of all distinctions
between loyalty and treason, and to strike a
blow at the conspiracy for multiplying the Con-
stitutional Amendments and turning the conn
try over TO the rule of the Solid South. These
are the last men to he deceived by talk about
Robinson's "refOrms," or by attempts to create
n prciudice against the head of the Republican
ticket. They clearly understand that vote
for Robinson is a vote TO indorse the alliance
between the Northern Democracy and the
Southern Brigadiers, and to help along the
Nf &c
vote for Cornell is q vote to condemn that al
lance and to defeat its aims. Chairman Faulk-
ner is wasting paper and postage In sending
secret circulars to this class of voters.
Nor is there any class of Republicans open
to appeals of this sort There is no half
way house between the Republican and Demo
cratic camps this year. The issues are too
important and too sharply defined for any
self-respectng voters to draw off upon
middle ground and avoid meeting them.
Whoever believes in National supremacy,
National honesty, and the right OF every
citizen to cast an unintimidated ballot and
have it fairly counted, belongs in the Repub-
lican party and will vote the Republican
ticket. Whoever wants to destroy the safe
guards of National elections. undermine the
stability of the National finances and en-
courage the South in its career of repudia-
ton, notification and assassination, will vote
the Democratic ticket. The men who propose
to stand one side and throw stones at beth
parties are not numerous enough to be worth
counting; and as for Republicans who intend
to desert to the enemy, there are none such.
When q man Is found supporting Robinson
who claims to be Republican,, little In
quiry will show that he has been voting the
Democratic ticket for years past. Mr.. Tilden's
committeeman would do well to devote their
efforts wholly to repairing the breach in their
own lines. They will not be able to break
into the compact Republican ranks.
New-York tribune., 1879-11-03

When the returns come in tomorrow
night, the Tiden campaign managers will
find that their efforts to persuade Republicans
to vote for Robinson have been thrown away
In nothing will they be as much deceived AS
in their notion that the Republican farmers of
the State are class peculiarly open to their
persuasions. The Newly Republican farm
ers are not the sort of men who wait for some-
body to come around and tell them how to
vote. They have stubborn political convic-
tions. AS a rule. they are more Interested In

We print in full to-day the lecture of the
eminent English philanthropist, George Jacob
IIolyoake, Oh Cooperation, delivered at the
Cooper Institute last Saturday evening. To
American w0rkingmen struggling with the
problem of how TO make existence better and
brighter, and too often led by demagosues
into the support of deusive schemes of gov
ernmen.al aid and dishonest projects for de-
basing the currency. there can DE ho'hlng
more interesting ard instructive than this
picture of how thousands of British working
men have found a way of helping themselves
without asking from their Government any
thing more than to be LET alone; and to all
men who have the welfare OF the iabonne
masses at heart this presentation OF the
struggles and success of a noble humanitarian
movement, made in simple and modest Ian
guage by its chief author, will be welcome
reading. Mr.. HOyOake's mission to tins coun-
try is one of helpfulness, good advice ana
good cheer to the workingmen, and he well
merits the cordial reception he is everywhere
meeting.
Election week opens with every attack on
the ReDubIcan candidates already broken
down. No one now preteuds that MIR. Cornell
is not an upright citizen, well qualified by
business and political experience for the Gov
ernorship, an ardent Republican from the
foundation of the party, and a man of stain
less personal character. The charges against
Mr.. Soue have not been sustained. Inc
very evidence before the Canal Committee
is shown to disprove their first hasty arralgn-
ment. and the Journals which assailed Mr.
Soule so vehemently at the outset have now
practically abandoned the attack. We were
ourselves in some doubt at first, mainly be-
cause the charges were so persistent and the
answer was unknown; but we think no dis
passionate critic can read the letters and in
terviews The TRIBUNE has lately published
without being convinced that the assailants
are absolutely without facts, and have ut
terly failed to make out their case.
Against the other members of the State
ticket there has been no opposition and no
attack. On the County ticket, Mr.. Brown, the
candidate for Sheriff, has been made the
subject of inyidious discrimination In some
of the recommendations-for no apparent rea-
son save that the critics had some time or
another belonged to q different wing OF the
party. Even this opposition seems now to be
mainly withdrawn, and Mr.. Brown is likely
to get, as he deserves the full Repub-
lican vote. There has been like discrmlna-
ton against Granville p. Hawes for Marine
Court Judge, but it was without any assigned
cause, excepting that the Judge now on the
bench might be retained. There will be no
dispute that Mr.. Hawes is the better man for
the place, and he ought to have a hearty
support.

The letter of a Pennsylvania Republican,
which is given on another page, sets forth the
reasons of the writer-who is well qualified
to judge-for expecting a handsome Repub-
ican majority in that State. 1t is evident
that the well-meant solicitude expressed in
Washington about the condition of the can
vass in the Keystone State was not wholly
justified, and we may look for a majority
worthy of its reputation.

The Hon. Jeremiah 5. Black says he cannot un-

ordinarily good and great man that he is amazed
that there should be any opposition whatever to his

country except his immediate predecessor ever
fought so hard battle for honest government as
he, OF opposed every form Of corruption with so
much steadfast perseverance," And he adds that

The secret circular which the Robinson State
Committee have been sending out to Republ-

to John Kelly because of his religion, will re-
act, as it should, upon the men who resort to
such weapons. The common sense of the peo-
pie of this State is against all efforts to STIR

In England the political tension is extreme.
The Liberals look eagerly for dissolution of
Parliament and a general election, but the
Government perversely declines to announce
positively its intentions. Meanwhile, the cam
paign mas begun, and candidates are busily en-
gagged in ralying the free and independent cleo
tors to their aid. Apparently the Govern
ment is as full of doubt as the Liberals
and bides its time for a favorable oppor-
tunity to appeal to the people.
