New Jersey and Connecticut, which, with this
state, were necessary TO a democratic success.

control OF the House OF Representatives Is
assured by the election OF yesterday TO the

the House OF Representative devote themselves
benceforth 10 showing tha. the material in-
iefests, not less than the political freedom OF
the people Oh this country, are bound up with
the fortunes OF the democratic conservative
party
The HeTa!G says It is plain however, that the
country does not Iancy the solid SOUTH" and
that il does not admire thelack Of brains and
OF principles for which the democratic canvass
was chiefly conspicuous II these general rea-
sons must be added this. that the American
people, WHO are Ike al free people, couserya-
tive, and properly so, were Inclined 10 let Well
enough alone. They saw n: sufficient reasons
Tor change In administration. The democrat5
asserted that there were Sth reasons, but the
vote SHOWS that they were lot able to convince
the people.
The Tribune has the following: This result
Is an answer 70 the solid soath. IL the south
can le2Fn anything IL ought TO learn that It's
blind, brutal and causeieSs sOiidiUy Is a blunder
II displays an aggressive sectional spirit for
which there has not beer the shadow o. an
excuse since 1876. Sensible southern Tnel
ought now TO be convinced J12t they can never
hope 10 be OF weight In TIE affairs o. this
nation so long as they tolerae In themselves or
in Others about them q STUPID sectionaiism or
permit any encroachmentS whatever upon the
liberty OF citizens OF any class
The Times says or the result: 1T determines
in the first place and chiefly, rlat the govern
u4ent or the nation shall be rational ana not
the government OF a party, seetion or q race.

party whose distinguishing fea.ure IS the per

OF the American people. IL txttngufSheS for
