he at least owes something to the

From the Richmond Whig, Readj.l
In Virginia the figures are un>
favorable to the Readjusters-to our
intense anlaZement. The returns,
however, while apparently indica-
tive, are not conclusive of results.
We forbear further comment until
we know more. We may remark,
nevertheless, that there can be no
doubt of the fact that the State debt
will be the issue next year. and if
the determination of that issue be
more difficult by reason of the re-
suits of yesterday, the simpleminded
Readjusters who aided in bringing
them about may thank themselves
for it and enjoy the gratulations
they are likely to receive from the
Funders.

"Itappears that Grant, Conkling,
Cameron and Logan have been elec-
ted President. 1t appears that the
effect of the October elections was
to- potent to be overcome. 1T is not
the triumph OF Garfield. 1t is the
victory of the strong men who came
to his rescue in Ohio and Indiana be-
fore the 18th of October, and in whose
hands he is" Speaking of the faults
that caused The defeat. it names the
decision that made Indiana an Octo-
ber State, and the cowardice that
four years ago gave up Tilden's cause.

The Republican party can review
the canvass and hail the victory with
unmiXed pride. 1t was true to prin-
ciple. 1t was brave, honest and man
ly. 1t was courteous and just to
Hancock. 1t fought the battle on
high grounds. The people haye plan
ted its banner more firmly than ever
on the ramparts of government; the
sweep Of their condemnation has
stranded the shipwrecked Democracy
on the rocks; and who can tell its
dismal and demOralized future?
From the Philadelphia Times, Dem.]
General Garfield receives the scep-
tre of free people when prosperity
reigns fir, m the eastern to the western
seas and from the Lakes to the Gulf,
and he will be expected to adminis-
ter the government with such tidel-
ity, integrity and enlightened states.
manship as must promote the honor
and thrift of the nation.
From the Philadelphia North American,
Republican,.
The Republicans have won success
by deserving it. While their oppo-
nents were afraid to declare their
belief or their intentions, the Repub-
licans have nailed their colors to the
mast and stood by them without
tiinching.
From the Philadelphia Ledger, Ind.
The result was made inevitable
from the moment the Cincinnati con-
yention adopted its wholly unneces-
sary resolution for "a tariff fer reve-
nue. only" The blundering con-
structor of that plank builded far
worse than he knew.
From the Washington STAR Dem.l
The Democrats could have had no
better candidate than Gen. Hancock.
His integrity, patriotism and manli-
ness of character combined to make
him the strongest candidate they
could have named, and in the various
