ness for being beaten II has long been commended

unaceouufable that some ike to lie whipped.
Probably the desire arises from morbid state Of
mind engendered by the habit Of coming out second
best Its origin however. is not fully settled, bu;
constitutes an object Of psychological study, and
should be further investigated.
That the peculiar state Of mind exists Is fully
proven by movement now going ON TO try to have
tire vote Of New York counted for Hancock instead
Of Garfield.
One would suppose the Democrats had expcrien-
eed enough Of defeat lately; but il seems that
of their leaders think differently. So they make for
n certain and more signal overthrow.
The Republicans counted ont Tilden after he had
been lawfully and fairly elected. Heretofore they
have had a monopoly of that kind Of infamy. Now
some Democrats have manifest craving to share il
