From the N. Y. Sun, Now
From Ditch. TO Ditch, and Into
the MIr0.


From ditch to ditch, deeper and deeper
into the mlre, Mr.. John Kelly leads the
Democratic party.
Wnen he lost us this State, defeating
that upright Democrat Lucius Robinsoo,
for Governor, and throwing all the
patronage of the state into the hands OF
the Republicans, we were assured that
whenever he chose he could readily
recover the power he had reck-
lessiy flung away.
When he pushed aside pur candidate
for President, whose strength had been
thoroughly tested aud not found wanting
and gave us Gen. Hancock iu his stead;
he promised very large majority for
Hancock in the State. How has that
promise been fulfilled? The returns show
Hancock in a minority-twenty thousand
short OF an election.
Then for Mayor Mr.. Kelly selected a
carpet-bag candidate who barely scraped
in.
Neither the city nor the country Is any
longer satisfied with MIR. Kellys msuage-
ment. The course he takes III the city
loses TO the Democracy thousands Of
votes in the country. Grace handicapped
Hancock all over the State.
When the news came of the loss Of
indiana in October, Mr.. Kelly made q
speech in which he said:
"1he Democratic party can stand de-
fsn:."
But Mr.. Kelly seems TO ferget that not
every member Of the Democratic party
still holds, as he does, lucrative office.
Sitting by blazing fire, midwinter, with
the utmost nonchalance, he says to the
Gro wd outside whom he perceives through
bis plsteglas windo rs: "Never mind the
cold"
The possession and retention Of the
office Of Comptroller ofthe city Of New
York by John Kelly hare cost he Demo.
crdcY the control Of the Government of
the State Of Ne,o York, and the control
Of the Government Of the United States
for the merit four yedrs.
Are the Democrats satisfied with the
purchase at such price?
Mr.. krl,y's recent attempt to gag the
press, aud his violent aud vulgar assault
upon the editor Of the Herald, in his
1ammanv Hall apeech on the night of
the election, were ye'y offensive TO gentle
men whose sympathies and principles
would lead them, under more discreet
and more enlightened leadership, " acL
with the Democratic party.
These b4 words Of soberness and truth.
Mr.. Kelly makes great mistake if he
supposes them TO be prompted in any
degree by personal Ill will tow ard him.
We feel none. But we are tired Of
drumming up recruits for the Demo
cratic party only TO have them, at the end
of four long years, led, not 10 victory,
but into ditch by bunderlng politi-
cal manipulation.

Hon. WIN. WARD, Of Delaware
County, Pa, who has done so much for
the hArbors Of Chester and Hook finds
that his labors have been appreciated by
his party; and yet Mr.. Wards voice is
rarely heard in Congress. He goes back
TO Congress again with a tremendous
majority. The Net0s of Chester says
Congressman Wards majority in
Chester county is 3,s47, and in Della.
ware county 1t is 2,6T4, making 1891 III
the district, and II We mistake not tha,
is about as large majority as was ever
given. II is well deserved, for no one
tries 10 do more for his constituents than

THE defeat Of Mr.. Chittenden in the
Brooklyn congressional district, and the
election OF Rev. J. Hyatt Smith, his
oresnback Democratic competitor, ia
described as one Of the ludicrous sur
prises Of the campaign. The district 10
strongly Republican, and the Evening
Post lays: "Mr. Smiths candidacy
was supposed to be q huge practical
joke. So far as we have been able &c
ascertain, the platform OF the Rev. j
Hyatt Smith consists Of a single plank
the prevention of the manufacture O
hats In the state prisons OF New York
The support of this measure and th,
publication Of Baptist open cummun
I'm novel comprise, we believe, ali OF
tbs secular activities OF Mr.. Smith"

WOULD THEY FIsHT on SUBhIr
FOR THE GOOD OF THEIR COUNTRY
The Lancaster InteEItgenesr parallels
the election returns of 1876 with 1880
In very pointed way, and it would be
very satisfactory to the people to know
whether the Republicans would submit
to the will Of Congress in such result.
Our contemporary says:
The majority for Garfield in New
York is not nearly so large in propor-
ton as was the majority for Tilden in
Louisiana four years..ago. The allega-
tlons Of fraud in Louisiana four year,
ago were not nearly so specific nor so
we'll substantiated as the evidences of
fraud in New York now. The Repub-
licans then had one house of Congress
to witness the counting OF the vote.-
The Democrats now have both houses
Of Congress to count the vote, 10 r. iect
such states as they see fit, and 10 de-
clare such result as they may find the
circumstances of the case to warrant
under constitutional forms and accord
ing to Republican prscecents. II Mr..
Barnum should come to Philadelphia
and select VIM. McMullln and Samuel
Josephs to go over to New York to su-
pervise the count of the vstes, to make
afidavits for Democratic W illnesses, az
G nfield made them for Republican wit
nesses in New Orleans, and in general
to frame the Democratic case, we have
lo doubt they could get up much bel
ter one for Hancock than Garfield did
for Tilden. If Congress should then
constitute Messrs. Mchullin and Jos.
ephs q high commission to adjudicate
their ease, In all human probability they
would decide the presidential contest in
favor of Hancock. How would the Re-
publicans like to have corn measured to
them in their owD bushel? How would
sir. Garfield like to be hoist with bis
meu orsble petard of 1876-77.
The daily gazette., 1880-11-08

THB World says the Republican tick
cts voted in that State were not legal
ballots that the Republican legisla-
ture in New York at its last session
passed law expressly describing the
kind of ballot that should be used and
the way it should be printed. The
Democratic committee observed this
law to the letter but the Republican
committee paid no attention to it and
the ballots are, in consequence, illegal.
To make them legal the Republicans
will have TO declare their own law un-
constitutional. In Albany all the Re-
publican ballots cast at one poll have
been thrown out, and case made to
bring before the Courts.
The World maintains that there
were many frauds in the city and State
of the grossest character on which
Congress would be able to base better
reasons for throwing out the votes in
that State than there was In 1875 on
which the Republicans changed the
vote OF Louisiana and Florida. In to-
days issue it asks why do the Re-
publicans grow so feverish over the
prospect Of a searching inquest by Con-
gress into the Republican votes in cer-
tain OF the counties OF this State and
in certain of the States of the West P
Is it not the duty Of Congress to make
this inquest II the Republicans have
not swamped the ballot-boxes any
where with fraudulent votes what
have they to fear I, Is the origin of
their anxiety to be found in the notori-
Gus character of the leading members
of their National Committee Why
did they suffer the conduct of their
Presidential canvass to drift into the
hands of Marshall Jewell and e1-Scna-
tor Dorsey :"

THE Philadelphia Ledger, and other
papers that are political In their senti-
meuts, are already asking that Congress
shall take up the tariff, as soon as it
meets and make the changes in it that
were pstitloDed for by the manufactur-
srs and merchants, or pass the Eaton
bill,so that the changes will be made by
a commission appointed to reform the
whole of the tariff laws of the country.
Before the election these same papers
opposed the Democrats because they
proposed to do just what they now ask
TO have done.A

As Hayes and Garfield slipped their
tea and looked across the table at one
another Thursday evening, they must
have had singular reflections. This

dent, who was not elected and the

having been condemned by his own
party for bride taking and false swear

THa Nsws wastes over . column Of

THn Nssss wastes over column oil
its editorial space this morning In an
article extolling highly the leaders OF
the Republican party in this county for
th,ir exertions in the late contes t, and
pointing out the disadvantages they
labored under at the opening of the
campaign which it then claims was by
their efforts rendered successful, not
withstanding the disorganization and
wrangling spirit that existed before
the nomination Of Jugds Houston, and
the direction was placed in the hands
sof ''Mr. stone and his counseliors, on
the committee.
Dished up in the ma amer in which
the Necs has it the story is very pleas
ant reading to the gentlemen whom it
lauds for their energy and hard work.
To be sure It omits entirely to name
Messrs. Bird, Higgins, and Harrington,
Fisher, Smlthers and Lofiand and 9th
ers. wLv woIO at ivaat entitled to some
prsise for the manner in which they
suppressed the spirit Of discord that
prevailed, and then united as "a band
of brothers," in order to prove to the
Loyal League Of Philadelphia there
was prospect for carrying Delaware
if that organization would loan them,
or enable them to collect sufficient
money in that great city with which
to attempt to corrupt the people OF
Delaware, and secure the election of a
Republican member of Congress and
another Republican member to the U.
8. Senate. 1t was on the assurances
that this could be done, as we hear
from various sources, that great sums
Of money were raised and expended; /;
but which failed to secure the object
Of the men who used it.
The Netos does not mention this fact,
however. 1t does not state that the
Republicans boasted that they had the
whole State in their grasp and would
not only give the electoral vote to Gar
field but send Judge Houston to Con.
gress in the place Of Mr.. Martin, anG
somebody else IN the place Of Senator
Bayard. 1t has waited long time to
get off its column Of exultation, aAd has
at last TO be cortent with glorying over
the defeat, for a season, of the Demo
Gratis Of New Castle County. 1t gives
all the praise 10 the leaders for this
work; and utters not one word OF
gratitude to the three thousand eight
hundred negroes whom it's party led to
the polls like so many sheep TO vote
away the power and influence of the
white people over the very property
they had labored for a century TO accu-
muiate; and the public schools which
their money and diligent labor had
raised to their present state Of perfec-
tion. The triumph was .he result of a
combination of the negro vote against
the whites, but not one word is said OF
this. Oh, no. That is to be left to be
dealt out to the negro In thanks and
promises under cover OF darkness IN
secret night meetings hereafter.
