ocratic home government, and have, in spite
OF money, fraud, lies, and &C ercion, refused
TO yield up our principles to power, with
its attractions or threats. e.
History will honor New Jersey-iaithful
amid The failhess. Honest, manly. hard
work kept her firm when, IN the terrible
storm Of Tuesday. great States were swept
from their moorlDgs.
! That we are beaten is cause for sorrow.
That we were beaten by such foul means
Is almost cause for despair OF American in
siitutions. We began 10 recede about a week
before Indiana. When / stood on that
delightful day on The Lions Head, or rather
stood on the back and you stood on the
| head, and pledged New jersey for 10000
majority for Hancock, ! spoke within the
| figures. That day bad she voted 10000
would have been nearer the Truth. On
| Tues Cay she escaped as by fire with about
! 5000 on the side OF Democracy. WHAT did
| it? The Radical bugaboo OF the terrible
Brigadier," with horns on bis head, hair
on his teeth, and a concealed tail The old
ghost OF q solid South (raw head and bio ody

sey thnksnot. No, we lost no Independ-
ent or Democratic votes by reason Of those
ghosts. They no doubt scared old hide
bound Radicals into the ranks, and evoked
hysterIc screams OF patriotic defiance from
weak.minded preachers aud sentimental
old ladies'. 70 the demagOgues they were
scarecrOws TO get the effects and dollars Of
the old times. The political peacock Conk-
ling and Pagan Ingersol, who spends six
months OF the year fighting God Almighty
and the other six abusing the Democratic
party, NAV in other States have found them
to draw full houses and delighted audiences.

They want to be on the winning side.
