New York, the Journal of CDIn-

field is fairly elected. %he result must be
accepted that the north is not willing Ia

have several times protested against per-

nees, because there was nothing to justify
such VituperAtion. We hope the dom

in both houses, that they may be held
accountable for the management of pub
lie affairs. Weshall give cordial support
to all that is just and honorable in the
coming administration.
The Times says: The democratic news
papers of this city and vicinity are sadly
at variance with each other in their ex-
plantations of their overwhelming defeat.
One organ puts its blame upon the man

discipline of republicans; another thinks
that corruption has won the day; while
still another authority processes alarm

1t is generally sgreed, however,
that the doubtful states, including
New York, of course, were colonized BY

Defeated democrats. both in conversa-

The consequence of the election will be
the dissolution of the two solid sections.
The appeal says the democrats have
been badly beaten. The solid south
stands almost alone for democratic prin-
ciples. Sections are more sternly defsnt
