THE folly Of the Democratic charge of
rrcat Republican frauds in New York is
made manifest I,y single glance at the fig
urrs The increase IN the total vote of New
York ely al the last election over that of
1876 was Il per cent and IN Broullyn % per
cent. There are no charges of fraud IN the
registration; and the great falling of in the
Democratic vote discounted the fraud
theory. The only other ground on which
the Democrats ciaim TO contest the vote OF
the State is the ALLEGED illegality of the Re
publican ballots which illegally consisted
solely Of their bearing the word electors
in two places. The value of this claim may

This Nation had won the crown 81
Liberty. The question. yesterday, was,
is she worthy and able to wear it with
honor | know material interests were
at stake. know there was a question
whether the farmer in his hclds, the MGR
chant in his store, the weaver ut his loom,
the carpenter in his shop, the lborcr
working for daily pay, the workman every
where, WAS TO be made glad in his work, 81
whether evil days OF doubt and dependency
were To come again. But there was lar
more than this al stake. Far more, too, than
questions of honest money and sound cur
rcncy and an untarnshcd national honor ;
far more than salvation from a sort "t ni;,
tcrial and financial chaUs.
There was the fundamental question
whether honest ballots honestly counted
should govern this Nation, or tissue ballots
and Ku h lux and fraud are tn bear sway.
The 'qucstion, too, whether this Nation is
capable OF protecting and will protect It's
citizens clear down to the humbcst lr all
their rights, or whether liberty only means
license for the old rebel spirit to do just as ii
pleases The question, whether this GOV
ernment is to be Republican or no.
The old rebel spirit had got a good start.
II had captured the United States Senate.
1t had captured the House of Representa-
iivcs II had laid stigc 10 the White House.

TBE New YORK Herald Of Thursday
says: One thing that struck the demo
Gratis on Tuesday last Vas the slid
south. There Is no sIeHs- for = solid
south; il is an absurd and offensive
anomaly. In 1876 the southern men
had 3 grievance. and u sensible public
made no complaint Of their soliditY;
hut in 1880 they have no grievance
whatever, and the northern public,
which has not much patience with mere
stupidity, conclude that people who act
as southern lei are acting In politics
may as well remain in the minority.
The northern voter dislikes mere null
ishness; hs despises shAms, and he be-
~lieyts, and justly, that the solid south
is 4 sham without the least excuse.
What is the solid south for2 he asks
for tariff REFORM No. For free ships?
No. For economy in public eIpendi-
turesP Not at all. But on the contrary
II is solid for the democratic party, that
is all. The democrats now see the re-
suit In the October election-losses
of congressman in two states, 90 great
that the next house is almost certain 10
be republican, losses OF legislatures in
volying losses Of senator's, and a general
defeat, which, unless the republicans
make some conspicuous blunder, will
turn the floating and independent votes
in all the states, three weeks hence,
bodily v To the republican side.
