recognize In its merely personal and specifically
political aspects the contest might not seem to the
English public to have a very profound interest
Neither party it seems 10 US, has proved itself
equl to the opportunities since the closing of the
civil war. The Democrats have not retrieved nor
the Republicans maintained their historical career
Certain OF the political principles OF the two parties
were now the same, yet their antecedents are differ

it represents and always must represent in history
the principles which seemed to be down in the dust
when the Democrats OF New York were stirring up

The Adsertiser Gays: We cannot but regret tho
result. In the first place, there is no co,nparison
between the merits of the two men. Garfield is e

LONDON, November 4th.-The Daily Telegraph
deyotes its leading article to the election 1t says
So far national issues concerned, the Demo
cratic party have fought and lost its last grand
battle. No future Presidential campaign will be
conducted under the banners which were originally
hosted by Thomas Jefferson, and which symbolized
hatred to England in the foremost planks Of ito
platform That this feeling has passed away is
clearly evident in the result Of this contest

Democratic Organs at Variance as TO she

NEW YORK, November 4th-The 1Enses says
The Democratic newspapers Of this riy and vicinity
are sadly at variance with each other 10 their ex-
plantations of their overwhelming defeat. One
gan puts the blame upon the bad management Of
the Democrats and the machine discipline Of the
Republicans. Another thinks that corruption has
won the day while still another authority processes

ally agreed however, that the doubtful States, in
claiing New York, of course were colonized by re-
poaters from some undiscovered country in which
there was election on Tuesday. II docs not seem
to have occurred to the minds OF these wiseacres
that the people Of the United States have had some
thing to do with this election. The Democrats have
failed through all the canvass 20 understand the
temper of the people. They thought that votes
could be made by using childish trick and stories

carry an election by the invention Of Chinese letters
When Hancock wrote Senator Randolph his notions
about tariff, the public, which is not an ass began
to laugh at poor Hancock; but when Barnum.
Hewitt and other famous Democrats clutched at the
miserable Chinese letter business as their enc hope
of salvation, the public laughed a. the Democratic
leaders. 1t is bad thing for party when its lead

Cheers for the Elected and Defeated
NEW YORK, November 4th.-At q banquet of the
Loyal Legion last evening, Grant made short
speech, and cheers were given for Garfield, Presi-

Morris stepped forward and said, AS Democrat,

for the Presidentelect Of the United States" They
were given with will. Then DIR. SIN tn took the
floor He said, :" As Republican, ask for three
