Of The World, will dare dispute it. Before
nightlall, no man IN America viii have any
reason to doubt or any courage to deny that
James a. Garfield is elected President OF the
United States for four years from the 4'h Of
March next.
Barnum had n brilliant idea that his own
shrewd State of Connecticut could be imposed
upon with forged letters or stolen teieprams.
He paid spccial attention to Connecticut; ana
Connecticut having n good deal OF expert
cnce i'm the past of his campaign methods
kent a shorp eve on him. She now sends him
her commitments with handsome majority
for Garfield and Arthur. She commcnds TO
him for his future guidance, in case he should
determine under these diScOuragng circum-
stances to Occunv himself further with her
politics. the old cooy-booll motto, Honesty
is the best policy"
Connections appears to he of the opinion
that the party Of Mr.. Blrnum is not the one
TO be supported by honest men or trusted by
anybody Mr.. Jewell. who sometimes writes
letters that do him no good is after all
ahead of Mr.. Barnum. who sometimes
circulates forged letter, that do his
party no good. Then Connecticut knows
what prosperity is, ard likes 1t, and
does not propose to swap II off for all the
mules that Mr.. b lrnum has in the market.
Some one has SAID that there are elections III
which money cannot he made to buy any
thing. A suspicion is prevalent that Mr..
Barnum will be of that opinion to-day.
Ncw-Jerscy is alwlys provodneIy late
with its returns, but the scattering reports
thus far received do not warrant belief
that the great tidal wave, which
has swept Ncw-York, Connecticut
and Indiana into the Republican line,
has wholly failed of effect in a
Northern State close to the commercial
metroroli Mr.. Pott- has mad an exceed ply
eff c-lvc and cr ditabe canvass. He Iuns FAR
ahead of his ticket, and there are dispatches
claiming that the State has not only elected
him. but given a majority tor the Repub-
lean electoral ticket also. The details for
warded uo 70 o'clocl, this morning Go not
give sufficient reasons for the claim.
About II o'clock las; night there came a
dispatch from Indianapolis saying, ENGLISH

by $4,000 than when he bulgod ont Of the

knows a great deal more than he did last
June.
Under the gallant leadership Of james G..
Blaine, Maine nas redeemed herself and has
come back 10 her ola pace in the column OF
publican States. The uuprincip,rd I'm ion
movement mad Il short-hvel triumph. !, vs.

reverse last September served to encourage
the Democrats throughout the country, bat

cI.. no man III public life behaved more
handsomely after Chicago than Blaine no
man did more, and at great sacrifices, for
the contest ia the critical October States, and
no man better deserves the triumph Of recon-
qucTng his State. The whole country VIII
rejoice that Blaine Is again all right.
After al, General Hancock is less to be
pi1ed than m3ny Of ms followers He has still
his Major -GeneIalship. There is nothing
"ncidouta about that. Then he has
another consolat0n-he is rid of the disrcpu-
aole crowd OF Democratic politicians who have
hung about him since his nomination. He is
so much Of gentleman that he VIII feel great
pleasure in Tcsumlng g gentlcmIn'5 privilege
of choosing his company. 1t is safe to say
that few OF his recent associates viii bc in
vited to share the iu urc hOspitaIitie,
Of Governors Island. Hancock proved an
unfortunate candidate for the Democrats,
but he was Il respectable one, and his be-
havior during the canvass was dIgnitied If not
altogether discreet. Now that the contest is
over, all Il -pGbllcans, remembering that his
name Will 20 into history rather as the sue
ctsslul Union General tnan IS the beaten |
nominee Of an unpatriOtlc party, will be glad |
that no responsibility for tbs base campaign |
methods of the Democratic press and the |
Democratic leaders attaches to him. They |
will readily believe that his comparative $50
lalion within the walls of a military post kept |
him from knowing much OF the dsgraceiul |
schemes OF his chief supporters.
FOR PRESIDENT, JAMES !. Garfield.
