WORTHY or DEFEAT.
When party abandons IT, successful
and deserving leaders; when party allows
it, enemies to dictate who shall aud who
shall not be It's nominees; when a party
opens its campaign by raising white hag
and beating a retreat, that party has shown
itself to be worthy Of defeat, such signal
defeat as has just overwhelmed the Democ-
rscy.-GN. Y. sun.
GRANTS VICTORY.
The candidate Of the 500 was defeated in
the convention, but when the nominee VA.
yesterday elected President Of the United
States il was because thier idea prevailed
before the people. This point must be
so clear to any one who studies the situa-
ton with an unparalleled eye that we dc
not care to discuss IT, II there is any who
, doubt it, we only ask them to believe what
the campaign would have been and what
the result would have been il our cause had
lacked the inspiration Of Conklings word.

THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE DEFENDING
Upon the result, may depend, not only
the welfare Of the American people, but
the existence Of republican government as
we'll. Mr. Garfield, the accidental bant-
ling Of the Chicago mob, whose character
is beclouded by completely in the fraud
that inauguraied Mr.. Hayes, stands to-day
as the coordinate representative Of all the
baser elements known to political trickery
on the one side and the more substantial
evidences Of mercenary rapaciiy on the
other, while his opponent, Gen. Winfield
Scott Hancock, has sustained an unsullied
reputation for honesty Of purpose and de-
votion to constitutional law Lexington

large. and without respect Of party are to
be congratulated. II means a continuance
Of the financial and civil policies under
which the Nation has prospered II means
the maintenance Of the supremacy Of the
National Government. II means protec-
ton Of civil and political rights Of all the
people, for it is the triumph Of the princi-
piles Of freedom and equality before the
law. II means, in its decisiveness, an
avoidance Of all the perils that beset the
country four years ago. II means, in brief,
continued peace and prosperity from one
end to the other. For these and many 9th
er manifold reasons the whole people are
to be congratulated, and can congratulate
each other Cincinnati Commercial.
THE FRUITS or THE WAR SECURED.
II is Waterloo defeat for the Democra-
cy and sweeping victory for the Republic
cans. II gives US control Of the Legisla-
tive aud executive branches Of the General
Government, and remands the Southern
brigadiers to their proper place. Il puts
the North in the advance and the South
in the rear. II settles the political policy
Of the country for many years to come. IL
secures the fruits Of the war TO those who
fought il to a successful conclusion. IL il
the elimination Of all the Union victories
heretofore gained. II decides the contest
between a solid South and a solid North
Ii insures the preservation Of the great
commercial interests Of the North. In
short, it guarantees the continuance Of

THE TARIFF ISSUE.
The y. Y World contends that Garfelds
election is virtually the election Of Grant;
says il is in one sense a matter for congrat- |
ulation, and in another coincidence, that |
the Presidency Of Garfield, unlike that Of
Hayes, has been secured by the frauds Of
politicians so much as by the folly Of vo-
tiers. The county will have time enough, |
and, we fear, reason enough to reflect on
This points out some Of the more obvious
and general causes. The tariff issue to
great extent superseded the sectional issue
In the great manufacturing districts Of the
Eastern States, but taking the country
IL |. evident the "Solid South" was a Sc
rious bugbear ON which the Republicans
most successfully relied. Their appeal was
to sectional hate and fear. That Americans
should have been moved to vote for a can
didate like Garfield by appeals Of this kind.
does not speak very well for their magma
nimity or their intelligence.
ONLY ONE MORE CHANCE.
Now, what Of the futureg Il Is not
iiilicnlt to foresee how the Republican
eaders will interpret their overwhelming

means an Endorsement Of their worst mo-
ives and measures. They will believe that
