The Result.


The returns which we publish else
where tell the result of the recent cleo
ton so plainly that no comment can
add to their force. With a cause and a
candidate that deserved better fate,
the Democracy have failed; and the
Republican party has secured for an
other four years a lease OF executive
power. The full extent of the defeat is
still a matter of estimate; but it is quite
decisive enough to quiet the fears
which have been expressed by both
parties TO the contest that there would
be in determining it some such diff.
Guilty as the country witnessed four
years since. While there is not much
about the result that is cheering. it is
some satisfaction to know that the con-
flict ended yesterday and is not to be
dragged along for weeks and months,
to be wrongfully settled at the end.
Many causes have contributed to the
result, for some of which, no doubt,
the Democratic party and its managers
are responsible. Prominent among the
causes for which they are not RESPONSE
BILE is the dissemination, in time of
general prosperity, to make any change
in the administration of the Govern
ment. For this prosperity the Repub-
lican party was entitled to no credit.
1t resulted from favorable seasons,
enormous crops and last, though not
least, from Democratic economy and
retrenchment in Congress. But the
party in power get the benefit of it as
it did eight years ago. The business
of the country, without act
lively sympathizing with Republic
canism, did sympathize with the exist
ing condition of things; and Republi-
canism profted thereby. This was es-
pecially true in the cities where the
Republican leaders and organs found
ready hearers among business men and
workingmen disposedto etwell enough
alone. And at the same time, in the
country districts, the "bloody shirt
was Haunted with all the old-time
fervor. 1t was not a logical feeling
which prompted Republican support as
q guaranty against change. Reflection
would have reminded both business
men and workingmen that letting well
enough alone in 1872, in obedience to
similar appeal from the same party,
was followed by the disastrous panic
and low wages of 1873 and the subse-
quent years. But feeling very rarely is
logical
The most significant and dangerous
feature of the result is that it is a tri-
umph of the money power. We do not
mean merely that corruption has been
rife, that votes have been bought, or
that money has been lavishly used in
every possible way to influence the
election; though of all these facts there
is abundant evidence. We do mean
that the wealth and capital of the coun-
try have arrayed themselves definitely
on the side of the Republican party and
declared its cause their cause. The
existence of such an alliance is a stand
ing menace to Government of the
people by the people for the people

1t means a "dear dimpled darling"-

1t means a happy mother, whose life

Joseph Hopkinson wrote Hail
Columbia" in 1898. At that time the
war between England and France was
raging and it was believed that the
United States would have to take up
arms. Congress was in session at Phil
adelphia. The people were divided,
some favoring an alliance with France
and some with England. One Saturday
afternoon a young Philadelphia actor
came to Hopkinson and said that he
was to have benefit on the following
Monday night, but that no boxes had
been taken and he feared that he would
lose instead of gain by the benefit. The
actor thought that he could fill the
house if he could get a patriotic song to
the tune of the +" Presidents March,
He asked Hopkinson to write him one.
Hopkinson promised to try and the re-
suit was "Hail Columbia" The song
was ready on the benefit night and soon
it gained immense popularity.

The Democratic Defeat.

The returns of the Presidential alec.
ton indicate with sufficient clearness
for all practical purposes the election
of Garfield and Arthur. New York is
lost to the Democrats-and this of it.
self would decide the contest, but the
Democrats have failed to carry Con-
necticut and to recover Indiana, and
the votes of these two States together
with New York strengthen the Repub-
lican victory and place it beyond dis
pute. Our opponents will rejoice over
a result which, at one stage of the can
vass, they despaired of and Democrats
did not look for, and in their Civilizations
they will for atime forget the deep scars
which their chief candidate brings out
of the conflict and which he will bear as
long as he lives.
1t does not require long search to
find the causes of this disaster. The first
premonition of it was the Indiana de-
feat in October, from which the Demo
cratic party never recovered. But
what caused the Indiana defeatp Why
should Indiana, which voted for Tilden
and Hendricks in 1876, fail to vote for
Hancock and English four years later?
And why should New York, Democratic
in 1876, be Republican in 1892 The
answer is that the ticket which il
defeated now is not as strong as the
ticket which was elected four wears AFRO.
We do not use the disappointment of
the hour to disparage the great personal
merits OF General Hancock. for he has
borne himself CALAMITY through the
contest and won the cordial admiration
OF the party whose standard he bore.
But while giving full credit to Hancock
1t must be admitted that the Democratic
ticket did not possess the weighty NOR
al element which Mr.. Tilden would have
impaired, and that it made a fatal
waiver of the claim which the party had
for the fraud against Mr.. Tiiden four
years ago. That this issue, which ought
to have been the controlling one in the
canvass, disappeared from it as soon as
lllden's name was set aside goes far to
explain the defeat. There were other
agencies that conspired with this error
to bring about the untoward result
the tariff question which the Republic
ans most unfairly used to control the
in the manufacturing
towns of Indiana and the East, and, not
the least by any means, the use of mon
ey. That money was extravagantly
used to buy and import votes in Indiana
and other States is fact, deplorable as
it is shameful. which the falling off in
the Republican October majority in In
diana clearly attests. The Republican
leaders dared not face the reckoning
which transfer of the books at Wash.
ington to their opponents would have
led to--and as the election four years
ago proved clearly that the people were
against them, the only resort was to
lorce bribed verdict-and this thew
lid with a method and hardihood which
hey took little pains to disguise. st.
