AFTER THE FIGHT.

The Kansas City Times OF Sunday
counts California for Garfield.
Speaking of the election at Jefferson
City, the Sedalia Democrat says: This
hole went radical, as usual"
Democrats who insist that the Repub-
licans maintain their control of the gov
eminent by the corrupt use of money,
should change their tactics and stop
betting on the fellows who always come
ont second best. See the pint?

WHO HAS THE POPULAR
VOTE?

The Democratic papers are already
setting up the claim that Hancock re-
ceived the popular vote of the country at
the late election. The following table
shows that this claim cannot be sustain
ed. Notwithstanding the fact that in Il
large portion of the south, the portion
of the country under the control of the
Democratic party, Republicans cannot
vote their sentiments, Garfield has the
popular vote by large majority. as the

The solid south is being heard from.
A prominent southern Democrat, now in
Chicago. says: "If l had my way l
would cast the 1873 electoral votes of the
south solid for Garfield, and make the
thing unanimous. Our alliance with
the northern Democrats gives them all the
ha'pence and we get all the kicks. We
have done all we promised politically,
but our northern party associates have
sold us out OF betrayed us. The north
ern Democrats always consult their IN
terests and am in favor now of the
south consulting hers" Many of the
leading papers are expressing similar
opinions, and there is some prospect
that the south is awaking to its own true
interests at last.

This is from the Kansas Citv rimes

TINS Is from the Kansas City Times:
There were undoubtedly some frauds
committed IN the election in New York
last week-and probably by both sides
but no calm-thinking or conservative
Democrat will countenance any attempt
20 disturb the business interests of the
country for six months by the proposed
move OF the politicians TO open up the
whoie matter Of the presidential election
ana nave New York counted for Han
cock. II has been a week since the elec-
ton and the country has accepted the
result as announced. Any attempt TO
override II on technical grounds would
end more forcibly than GarceIon,s flasco
did In Maine last winter. The Times
does not believe in squealing. If we are
defeated let's accept the result like men
and not act in such manner as TO make
the national Democracy a laughing
stock of the whole country.
