 Plain Talk From the Sun.
 NEW YORK, October 1S.-To-day Sun has a remarkable editorial under the heading, ''No Mincing Matters, " whereof the following are extracts: |" The Democrats have sustained sn unexpected and mOrlifying defeat in Indiana and Ohio. IL is disastrous and may prove fatal. It is silly to make light of it and idle to try 10 whittle away by cunning calculations and adrOit figuring The Democrats are beaten, badly beaten. Whether beaten 10 death or not is the only ques- ton. It has seemed to us that the whole Democratic campaign was 8 series of bluRders. The party hsd one man, and only one whose Im- mense strength had been demonstrated for national fields-Samuel J. Tilden. lt is the one great prominent name in the Democratic party. He was re- former indeed, as his record in office of Governor had proved that he was a statesman. As all his public papers especially his letter declining to compete for the nOminstion-has en- phatically shown. ChiIdless like Washington he had only his country tO love, and even the ties of kindred were ruthlessly sundered by his stern and unrelenting hand if the faintest blush of improper practice rested upon them. So patriotic, sO lofty, SO con Vincing was his great letter 10 the convention which made the nOmina- ton that the most adroit and ablest of his enemies, after reading IL, avowed his disposition to support him. This illusiriOus Democratic party thought it could afford 10 disperse with him ss a candidate. There $ word of one syllable with two O'S in it which might not inapprOpriately be applied 70 the party. They nominated Gen. Han cOck-a good man who weighs two hundred and fifty poundr but Han cock is not Tilden. The crowning act of the folly of the party was to go into the State of Thomas A. Hendricks and take another man for Vice President. Any name other than that of Hen dncks would be folly enough; but to go one step further, they had 10 take a man with the most OdiOus reputation 1 as skin-fiint " tO overcome. There ] used tO be fellow who made an Occu- patton of putting his head against q ] rough, stony, New England wall for twenty-five cents. The Democratic party in making this nomination re- sembles him-Only, if report bc true. they did not get the twenty cents. Now. we are for looking the actual facts sQuarely in the face. Who can not do that without fear in defeat and disaster, as well as in victory. has no manhood in his make. We are beat 1 en. we are ovcrthrown: but we are not destroyed. The disaster we have experienced may yet be retrieved.
