What the crimes" Says About It.


New York. November 5.-Ths Times
says: The Democratic papers OF this
city and vicinity are sadly at variance
with each other in their explanations Of
their overwhelming defeat. One organ
puts the blame upon the bad manage
ment OF the Democrats and the machine
discipline Of the Republicans. Another
thinks that corruption has o the day.
while still another authority processes
alarm ut this spothesis OF Grantism.
1t 10 generally agreed. however. that the
doubtful States-including New York.
Of course-were colonized by repeaters
from some undiscovered country in
which there was no election On Tuesday.
II does not seem to have occurred to the
minds Of these wiseacrrs that the people
OF the United States have had some
thing to do with this election. The
Democrats have failed through all the
canvass to understand the temper OF the
people. They thought that votes coule
DO made by using childish tricks and
stories. They are still in the dark, 30
far a. popular understanding and judg.
msnt are concerned. Why not come to
u rational conclusion that the majority
Of voters Of the United States are weary
Of the Democratic party and its pre-
tepses2

WHAT DID IT AcCOMrLisHs

That Morey-G Garfield forged letter Is

ton Of the National Republican Com

perpetrators Of the villainous forgery to

aided and abstted it. LET no guilty

ished for the bold, unpriuciplsd part
they took In this most infamous and
palpsbls forgery. merely to forward their
own selfish political ends. 1t will DO sat
isiactory to all honest men.
The letter wss shrswdly planned
and the forgery deliberately committed
more for its influence on this coast than
for any effect 1t could have In the East.
1t was sought TO prove BY its lying con-
tents that Garfield was in favor Of the
Chinese, and perhaps IL did have q
small influence in that way. but GER
tainly not so much as was antiei'
patsd. In Oregon 1t amounted to
nothing; that State has been con-
sider.d very shaky for the Rspub.
licans for years. and gives . small Re-
publican majority. California was only
expected to do the same and has done
30. As for Nevada. It was . plain case
that Fairs sack was dsmoralizing the
State worse than the Chinese question
ever could for weeks before the Mor-y
letter was written. In fact. the letter
effected and affected nothing.
The people OF the Pacific Coast will

all, the idea which struck them the most
logically and iorcibly was this: the De-
mocracy totally neglected to show why a
great and experienced statesman like
James A. Garfield should write such
o letter to an obscure shoemaker n
Lynn. They exhibited no motive what.

gsthsr to prove it to be anything but Q

solely for campaign purposes. II
could not help being regarded
by all sensible men as . very
weak and foolish. invention OF the
enemy. The Democracy lost more than
1t gained by it. The fun did not pay
for the powder. and now they will find

than any Chinaman ever wore.
