Tho Late Presidential Contest.


Popular elections are the cornerstone Of
our political superstracture. A free, fair,
and uurcs.rained ballot, is the most CON
yenient and effective mode Of expressing
the popular viii When so expressed, all
good citikens win bow with deferential
submission to that will. But, when not
so expressed, the ballet is no longer the
exponent Of tho will Of the people, but the
means by which that will is thwarted.
Such, beyond doubt, was the so-called
election of Tuesday last II was not
fair expression Of the popular will, bat
purchased and forced result Asis now
plainly to be seen by the most casual OBJ
server, three prominent causes contributed
chiefly to bring about such result. These
were the lavish and unscrupulous use of
money, beyond all former precedent in this
country; the business panic upon the tariff
issue; and the coercion of thousands Of la
boring men in the manufacturing estab-
lishments Of the north, to vote the Repub-
lican ticket, under the penalty Of loss
of position, in case Of refusal Here is the
secret Of Tuesdays result, We will not call
il an election.
A survey Of the field shows a Repubh-
can President for four years more from the
fourth of March next, with the prObabili-
ties of Republican House md Senate in
the 47th Congress. If this should turn
out to be so, the Executive, Legislative
and Judicial departments Of the govern
ment would all be in the hands of the
Republicans, aud the entire responsibility
would rest upon their shoulders. Not only
50, but there could be no obstruction, from
Democrats, TO the complete accomplish
menl Of their entire system Of measures in
shaping the policy Of the Garfield admin
istration. What is that policy likely to
be? Aud what are to be the fruits Of
this Republican victory? If consistent
with their professions aud the evident teu-
denotes of that party, they will enact a
national system of free schools, in which
the children shall all be placed on terms
Of perfect equality, the privileges Of none
to be abridged "on account Of race, color,
or previous condition" whether Indian,
Monaghan or African. They will also
enact national registry law. under the
operations Of which only those shall be
registered who are acceptable to the pow
ers that be, or only SO small proportion
Of others as will keep them forever in a
hopeless minority They will also enact
national militia law, organizing a sort of
Pretorian Guard, subservient TO the exist
ing administration, aud then, according TO
recent indications, Grant aud the Empire.
1t would be quite as easy for that bold
bad man to subvert this government, under
such militia system, as il was for Louis
Napoleon to subvert the government Of
France by pletiseite conducted under
the bayone,s Of the French soldiers. The
average Republican, thOughtless and flush
cd with the pride Of victory, will be apt
to deem these reflections but the Idle vati-
cinations Of the hour, but in view Of all
that has been passing recently 10 the po-
litical world around US, they demand the
most serious consideration Of the Ameri-
can people.

What Do They Celebrate.


The Republicans throughout the eoun.
try are rejoicing over what they term a
great victory. The only victory they have
gained is in securing stronger represen.
tatiou in the upper and lower houses Of
Congress, though tho Democrats win still
have majority 10 the Senate, and the in
dicatioDs are that they viii have control
of the House also. The Republicans have
held the Presidency for twenty years, and
in the election of Garfield they have sim.
ply held their own. 1t may be a victory
in their view Of the matter, but ii is a
victory for the minority through rcprehen.
siblc means; victory for forger, pc1urer
and bribe-taker over one whose services to
the country have been as great as any liv-
Ing man whose character is above reproaeh;
whose ability aud patriotism ara second
to none. Instead Of celebrating such a
victory, honest men, it would seem, should
hide their face and blush for the disgrace
of their country.

General Garfield will be chosen Presi.
dent Of the United States by the electoral
vote Of this State, and this vote he will
receive only 10 consequence Of disastrous
and unexpected falling off in the Demo.
cratic majorities Of Brooklyn aud Of this
city. That this falling of was the result
Of causes quite outside of the national con.
test is absolutely certain. The vote Of
New York State will be given to General
Garfield, not because General Garfield is
tho choice Of majority Of the voters Of
New York, but because, not for the first
time in the history ofour municipal parties,
local and personal interests have been pre-.
lerred to the general welfare Of the party
and Of the country. Mr.. Tweed, for ex
ample, give this State to the Republicans
in 1871 by forcing on the city Democracy
his candidacy for reelection 10 the State
Senate He was elected, but an entire
county ticket and Legislature were sac
ri6ced. New York has secured Demo.
catic city government, which is so Car a
good thing, but it remains to be seen
whether New York could not have secured
this at less cost than that ofthc 35 clcc.
toFal votes which, added to 1873 from the
South, 0 from New Jersey and from No.
vada, not to mention California, aud Ore.
gon, would have elected General Hancock
President Of tho United States. This i
not the time for dealing in detail with
the causes Which have provoked the results
we see 10 this city and in Brooklyn, nor
for suggesting practical preventIyes Of tho
recurrence Of such calamity hereafter.
But II is time TO invite Democrats gener-
ally to look into the causes Of these results
and to make careful analysis Of the figures
and statistics Of the recent election, while
these are yet freshly before US, TO the end
that when within another month new gen
eral committees shall be selected BY the
Democratic voters, the lessons which those
figures and statistics have to teach may
not Be lost sight of--K y World.

The falling OF 10 the Democratic vote
in New York city is about equal to the
majority for Garfield in the entire State.
Had the full strength of the Democracy,
therefore, been brought out Gen. Hancock

Now let all tho political vulturcs in the
land who have been perched upon the
fence waiting an opportunity to gorge
themselves upon the carcass, make haste
to unite their fortunes with the dominant
party. The Democratic party desires no
afiiliation with these mereenaries. A
minority Of true men is ever preferable to
a majority swollen into its proportions by
time-servers and plaee-men.

With this number, Saturday, November
18th, 1880, Progress will begin its third
volume. Hereafter 1t will be an Inde-
pendent Democratic paper, retaining all
its eclectic features, discussing society.
finance, the drama, railroads, and foreign
affairs. It's price has been reduced 10
$3.50 per annum, or cents a number.
AS l have placed all my means in the
reorganized enterprise, and propose to de-
vote all my time to 1t, l have no hesitation
in asking my personal and political friends
to give me the benefit Of their prompt and
active cooperation. When we recollect
that over 10000 votes were cast for Gen.
eral Hancock in the city of Philadelphia
alone, on the I'd Of November, and in
Pennsylvania 400, 900, and in the country
at large about FIVE million of votes, there
ought TO be ready and liberal response to
the scheme Of an Independent Democratic
weekly paper of the highest class in Phil.
adelphia.
The hour of Democratic defeat, procured
by open purchase of the suffrage, and BY
deliberate intimidation Of the dependent
citizen, should also be the hour of Demo.

great work Of organization and action, in
the present and the future.
