Some Notable Comments From Northern
Newspapers.
Too Much Cash.
Washington Post.
All the corporate capital in the United
States..is identified with that party. The
National Banks, the bondholders, the
great lines Of railway and thousands Of
protected monopolies have been taught
by profitable experience that they may
safely rely on the Republican party for
legislation in their behalf as against the
interests of the people. These corpora
tions sway an immense voting power.
They influence the political action Of a
million men who would vote the Demo-
cratic ticket if lett to their own inclina-
tions.
A Sacred Trust.
80, From the Philadelphia Times Iud.
The new Administration will have no
embarrassments from adverse authority
in any department of the government,
and it will be held to q stricter accounts
bility than any Republican administra-
ton of the past. Never before in our his
tory were so many reluctant votes cast
for any successful Presidential candidate
as were yesterday given to Gen. Garfield,
He inspired no enthusiasm in his own
contest, and he was excused rather than
entirely trusted in his public record
by hundreds of thousands who aided in
his election. He receives the sceptre Of
free people when prosperity reigns
from the eastern to the western seas and
from the Lakes to the Gulf, and lie will
be expected to administer the govern
ment with. such fidelity, integrity and
mote the honor and thrift Of the nation.
That he may do 90 will be the sincere de-
sire of the great majority of those, who
voted against him, and his future fame
and the future happiness of long dis
tracted country, are now in his Keeping.
Let him well appreciate the jewel that Is
to be dimmed or frightened by his reign,
and allswill be well.
j's Hayes Did It.
Boston Herald, Ind.
The seeds of defeat were sown in the
extra session, and watered by almost
every move they have since made. The
poverty of ideas and principles they dis
PLAYED in Congfess when they attained TO
the control Of both branches, and the
clean administration of President Hayes,
took away their last chances of carrying
the country. It is reasonable to suppose
that both branches Of Congress will also
be Republican after the 4th Of March
next. With the Executive and both
Houses, the Republicans will have an
opportunity to develop their policy. II
they are wise, showing that they have
learned by experience, they may enter
upon another lease of power of considera-
bic duration. But, if they forget the les
sons of experience. as they did before,
and return 10 the practices and tenden-
cies which so nearly drove them out in
| 1875, they will find their tenure of Office
much weaker than it was at that time.
Meanwhile, as results of this election, wo
hope to see the too, too solid South bro
ken up, and the Democratic party reor-
panized upon sound constitutional princi-
ples, honestly held and avowed, ready
to serve the country as conservative
opposition, and, worthy of public. conf
dence when needed to take control OF the
Government. :"
.The Voice Of the Tempter."
:, From the, Ne,o York Tribune, Rep. q
Men of the South, word with you.
You are beaten again. Give it up now.
The ideas of the Rebellion will never tri-
umph in this country. You can never
run this Government on the principles
for which Lee and Jackson fought. You
will never again have as good chance
| to win as you had this time. Why knock
your heads against the wall of Northern
sentiment? Half million Of men did
not die for nothing during those four
terrible years which you remember 80
well. This is Nation. Its citizens are
all equal before the law.
Why not manfully recognize these two
great facts which yesterdays election
emphasized anew7 Give up your notion
| that it is your duty to your ''section" to
stand by the party which sympathized
with the South during the war. No Sec
tion has any claims upon you. Section
| alism is dead. The Union, one and indi-
visible, alone has right to your allegi-
ance. Open your minds to the lesson of
the hour. Let bygones be bygones, and
resolve that in future there shall be toll
erance and fair play in your States, and
| that the right of every citizen to vote as
| he pleascs and have his vote honestly
counted shall be protected.
One thing more. Don't you thinn you
hate trusted the Northern Democracy
long enough? Has it ever helped you
Has it not repeatedly deceived you with
false promises, and left you to- bear the
brunt of defeat? Why not try the party
of ideas and progress now 1t cherishes
no malice. Republicanism is just as well
adapted for your latitude Us for ours.
Responsibility of the victors-A Fair and
Promising Programme.
From, the New York Times, Rep
/
! It will hardly be necessary to point out
that with its return to complete control
| of the National Government the RepubIi-
can party will take upon itself great re-
sponsibilities. No. party has ever been
more signally, more completely trusted,
and to every trust there are two parties.
The momentous issues Of the past are de-
cided. They will, in the natural course
oil things, give place to others, perhaps
| nature, but in their turn important and
imperative. Yesterdays election puts
the entire country on the same footing,
It makes sure the disappearance of Sec
tional questions by the triumph Of Ma
tional principles. 1t will remain for thc
| Republican party to administer the Gov
eminent for the whole nation. It will be
| it's duty to complete the rcadjustment o1
tho national debt, that its burden may
rest as lightly as possible on the people
to reduce taxation at every available
| point; to remove the inequalities which
now exist in the operation Of much Of our
fiscal legislation; to make the currency
wholly and permanently sound; It will
be its duty to correct the evils which have
crept into the civil service, to perfect the
divorce which has been undertaken be-
tween that service and partisan politics,
to remove all just complaint in any sec
ton that the Nationa. Government is
partisan, to attract to the government the
upright men of all parties by its purity
Integrity, impartialiy and efficiency. II
it hopes to reap tho full fruits of the bene'
ficient victory of yestel day it must atl'
miaister the government in the spirit in
which the people voted-the spirit of in.
telligent and generous patriotism, o.
fidelity to the highest aims of free gov,
ernment, of jealous devotion 10 the
equal rights and best interests Of the
whole people.
