Wise English Opinion.

London, 3.-The Standard fears re-
form will be abandoned in republican
politics and that the old senatorial ring
will control matters, yet comedies in the
same breath that Gsrfeld's Admiaistra-
ton will be = continuation Of that of
Hayes in every respect. 1t ALEC says the
election shows that 1t is impoIIible 10
excite in the north any strong anti
southern feeling, and makes other wise
remarks.
The Daily Ne,0S rays: The chances
seem to be that during the next four
years, contrary to expectation, the south
will become more reconciled to the
Union and the north will not be divided
against itself. The result is one Of more
importance than foreign observers fully
recognize. In its merely personal and
iuperhcially political aspects the contest
might not seem to the English public 10
have very profound interest. Neither
party, it seems to US, has proved itself
equal to It's opportunities. Since the
close of the civil war democrats have not
retrieved nor republicans maintained
their historical characters. Certain
political principles of the two parties
we're now the same, vet their Antecedents
are different. The best claim of the
republican party is that it represents and
always must represent in history the
principles which seemed to he down in
the dust when democrats Of New York
were stirring up resistance to the levy
of Union troops, and which triumphed
in spite OF democrats, at Gettysburg, Sa-
vannah and Richmond.
The Post, in a leader, remarks: With
| the result SO far as European powers are
| interested IN American politics, we or
this side Of the Atlantic have reason t.
be satisfied. With republican or demo
cratic rules at Washington is 8 mattel
which now exclusively interests citizeDl
Of the republic; nor is it probable that
even if the twenty years uninterrupted
reign of the republican party had nov
been broken, that the relations subsistinl
| between the United Ststes and ourselve
would have undergone any perceptibl
change. We have had our differences o
lato years, with the American govern
ment, but these differences have beel
happily terminsted. We therefore hsv
every reason to conclude that during til
next four years of the republican 81
premscy the relations between tn
United States and Great Britain will nc
only be undistsrbed, but be thoroughly
cordial.
The Advertiser ssys: We cannot bu
regret the result. In the first place. ther
is no comparison between the merits {
the two men. Garfield is q third-rst
republican party politician, belongin
not perhaps to the school Of Blaine
Conklings and CameroLs, but quite /
little 10 thst of reformers like Adams.
