The recent change in the political
situation in Tennessee for the better
is thus commented upon in New
York dispatch to the Cincinnati
Enquirer:
1.-THE election Of a Republican Gov.
ernor in Tennessee, though by IL
plurality vote, follows hard on the
planting Of emigrant colonies in that
State, and Tennessee will get what is
called "the bulge" in the way of
settlers and development, which
Kentucky might have had if her
Governor had made her braggarts
take the pistols off their hips. Ten
nessee bonds went up from 4 to 5 per
cent to. day. Tennessee isadmirably
situated as basis of colonization,
extending across the South from the
Alleghanies to the Mississippi river,
and with numerous railroads and
rivers crossing the State into the
South. The lines of colonization and
settlement will follow the line of the
armies, as peace and war have essen
TALLY the same strategy. The Indian
roads, and the river valleys of Ten
nessee are the lines of advance of
education, liberation and institutions
toward the gulf. Andrew johnson
and Parson BrownloW will not be
without honor in the future of that
State, and the entering wedge in the
South will 60 in between Nashville
and Chattanooga, and the new era be
established on the northern plateau
of Alabama and Georgia. Almost
all Northern men who have gone
into the South like the climate, but
are lonesome for congenial society,
and with the present temper of the
Northern money market, With more
money than there is room for, the de-
velopment of the South may become
field of speculation in the very first
year of Garfield's Presidency.

The completion of the census re-
turns will impose upon Congress the
duty of Reproducing the represen
tation in the lower house. If the
census is far complete as to render
this practicable, it may come up be-
fore Congress at its approaching ses-
sion if not, it will devolve upon the
Forty.sventh Congress. The estimate
is that the number of representatives
in the house will be increased from
293 to 1868. The gain, of course, will
be chiefly in the Western States, Tex
as being the only Southern State that
will gain materially. On the other
hand, some of the eastern Southern
States will lose. In any event, the
gain in the Western and Northwest
ern states will be so prepondering as
TO leave the solid South shorn of its
capacity for evil.

Hancock Declines a Contest.

The New York Times of Monday
says: 1t is stated on most reliable
authority that Gen. Hancock on
yesterday addressed letter to Chair
man Barnum in which he said that
he had been consulted by several
committees with reference to pro.
posed revision of the vote cast on
last Tuesday, with view to contest
ing the election in New York State
in his interest. He had also seen the
same course commended in certain
Democratic newspapers. He wished
to say that the movement did not
moet his approval, as it appeared to
be based upon improbable assertions
and inadequate grounds; and,
further, because the movement, 80
far as it concerned him personally,
was open TO the insuperable objec-
ton that, under no circumstances
would he consent to be technical
President. Mr.. Barnum lett town
for Connecticut early this afternoon,
and the letter could not be obtained,
but gentleman who has just return
ed from Governors Island says no
doubt the letter is iii his possession
and that the above summary gives
its purport correctly.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-11-13

had been permitted to vote as they
wished, and to have "their votes
counted as they were cast" at least
six of these States would have rec
orded maioritIes ranging from five
to forty thousand for our ticket. The
majorities, therefore, claimed by our
adversaries in most of the Southern
States we regard as unworthy of con-
sideration.
We have carried the Legislature eff
every Northern State except Nevada,
where straight-out Democrat will
be elected to succeed Mr.. Sharon.
After the 4th of March next the Uni.
ted States Senate will stand 80 Re-
publicans, 81 Democrats, and 2 indie
pendents. Two Southern States
given the Democrats in the above
estimate are yet to elect Senators, and
it is not unlikely that we shall secure
one of them.
In the lower House of Congress we
have not less than Is majority. No
officer of the present Congress can
reduce or imperil this majority ex-
cept by revolutionary act.
Garfield and Arthur have been
elected by unparalleled popular mas
iorities in that portion of the country
where the right of every citizen
is recognized to vote as he pleases
and have his ballot honestly counted.
This result in the intelligent and free
North is chaste and loud answer to
the indecent manner in which our
adversaries have waged the whole of
their campaign. Republicans may
be assured that no after-theught of
two or three mortified and desperate
leaders of the minority, writing un-
der their party censure, will be al
lowed to trifle with this mighty YER
dict or prevent the organization of
the government on the appointed day
by the resolute men chosen to ad-
minister it.

To Our Southern Friends.

The frank and prompt acceptance
by the South of its own defeat and
its cordial recognition of Mr.. Garfield
as the future President augurs well
for it. Some of the Southern papers
already begin to show, rather by
their general tone than by decided
expressions, that they are ready to
lay well to heart the teachings of
their recent reverse. 1t is already
obvious that they see the "solid
South is the cause of their rout, and
hat their alliance with the old Bour-
bon and old Copperhead party of the
North will cause their defeat here
after in any contest in which they
seek such an alliance. There are
even Indications that they look upon
Garfield's election as a possible bless
ing to the South. Such, we have no
doubt, it will prove to be; and, if
they act wisely and prudently, they
may make it still more a blessing. 1t
is with this view that we call their
to a few plain facts.
1t was clearly shown in the election
just closed that the Republican party

Gen. Grant on the Result,

From an interview, Nov. 4th.
"What one thing more than an
other led to this great success"
"Well, in the first place, we had a
right to win. We had earned it, We
had earned it by what we had done
in the past for the country, and what
party has done is a good earnest oil
what it can and will do in the future.
Then the people of the country were
getting scared. They say the Demo.
cratic success meant domination by
the South, and they did not care to
be dominated and controlled by the
party opposed to free ballot and a
fair count. If the South had once
obtained firm hold on The govern
ment they would have ruined the
country, and nothing short of rev.
oiution would have rescued it from
their hands again."
"You have yourself worked hard
in this campaign 20
II have done more talking than
ever did before in my life."
at is somewhat out of your usual
course to take an active part in poll
tics ?"
"Yes, it is not my way to go into
politics, but felt earnest and solici
tious about the result. L saw the
danger the country was drifting into,
so thought | had better take hand
in it,"
81 believe you said real danger,
General 2"
81 did, or l would not have gone
into the campaign. 1t is the first
time | ever had anything to do with
political campaign matters and l
never made a campaign speech be-
fore. This is my first political cam
paign."
"And will it be your last ?"
VERY likely, but l don't pledge
myself to that, mind. If anything
extraordinary was to happen or any
serious difficulty presented itself the
party would. Of course, have my
services"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-11-13

the Republican side during the cam.
paign just closed are worthy of pres.
ervation. Such efforts as these os
Blaine, Conkling, Sherman, Eyart,
and IngersOll will repay a second
perusal. If the Democratic National
Committee has any fund on hand
they couldn't put it to better use
than in distributing a few copies sf
these speeches.
The Inauguration OF President Gar.
field promises to exceed in display
any Inauguration yet seen in Wash
ington. Owing to the prevailing
prosperity of the country doubtless
the city will have to entertain mora
than the usual number of inaugural
visitors. People travel when they
are prosperous. The outlook is that
the approaching winter will be an
unusually gay one socially, and that
the hotels and boarding houses will
be crowded. Various military and
civic organization throughout the
country have already arranged to
take part in the inaugural procession.
General Negley, alone, promises to
have LOCO veteran soldiers from AL
legheny county, Pennsylvania, in
lire.
The most serious question which
must be settled by the present Com
gress is the manner in which the
electoral vote is to be counted. Not
serious because there is liable to be
any dispute over GarGeld's election,
but because it involves the question
of fixing precedent for the future.

The New Orleans Times is another
of the Southern journals that calmly
accept the result. 1t philosophically
says: "After all, more than forty
millions of people live in this repub-
lie in tolerable safety and comfort.
Notwithstanding the collapse predic-
ted by the stump orator there will
be no collapse. Things may be less
agreeable than was hoped, but the
defeated must console themselves as
best they may with the reflection
that the disagreeable to them is the
agreeable to the maiority-and with
the hope that, next time, the situa.
ton may be reversed"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-11-13

Look out for speedy split in the
Solid South. There is large por-
tion of the Democrats there who
have been chatting under the rule OF
the Bourbons for years, and they
will be heard from now. The Bour-
bons led the South into secession
against the will of a majority of the
Southern people, and they led the
South into solidity against its will
by promising that what was lost in
war would be regained under Han
cock. The result is defeat a second
time. The people of the South will
see that their only hope for voice
in the government of the Union is
to give up as lost all the issues of the
war, and start out side by side with
the North by accepting the past AS
forever dead.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence to The Republican. j
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Nov. 8, 1880.

Special Correspondence to The Republican j
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Nov. 8, 1880.
1t is generally believed here that
the meeting of Democratic leaders to
be held in New York will not amount
to much. OF course many revolu.
tionary threats will be made and
much buster will be INDUCED in but
further than this NO steps will be
taken to unsettle the country by at
tempted fraud. Every sensible man
knows Garfield is honestly elected
and Hancock fairly defeated. No one
will stop to consider the cause, in
Judging the effect. Business men feel
secure and will dscountenance any
movement injurious to their interest.
The Democratic leaders must adopt
some other method to draw from
themselves The storm of disapproval
now setting in. The role of revolu-
zionist is rather distas ,eful one.
The most sensible thing Mr.. Barnum
can do is to write his political cpl
taph and ct under it as quick as
possible.
1t is runbored that Senator Blaine
will be offered the position of Secre-
tary of State, but will decline it and
probably name the occupant Of that
Office.
1t is understood that Gen. Garfield
will not again take his seat as
member of the House of Represen-
tatives, but will in day or two re-
sign both the Congressional and Sen
atorial offices. 1t is expected that the
candidate elected to succeed him in
the 47th Congress will also be elected
to serve out his unexpired term in
the 10th. 1t only requires ten days
notice to elect a successor, and in the
Western Reserve OF Ohio there is no
doubt Of the result in political
sense.

COMMITTEE, No. 24l Fifth ave.
NEW York, Nov. s, 1880.
The Republican National Commit
tee presents to the country resume
Of the sweeping victory won l. y our
party on Tuesday, November 2,
which has been SO cheerfully accepted
by all thoughtful and patriotic men
and by the great business and COM
mercial interests of the nation.
Garfield and Arthur have received
213 electoral votes and will he inau
gurated President and Vice. Presi-
dent March 4, 1881. The actual result
in New Jersey, California and Neva>
da is so close that it cannot be ascer-
tanned until the official count is
made, but we have reason to believe
that at least one and perhaps two of
these States have given their electoral
votes to our candidates.
The popular majority for Garfield
and Arthur will not fall short of 520,.
900 in the Northern States. The
majority for Gen. Hancock in the
Northern States will hardly reach
1000.

If any Democrats in the country
expects to gain anything by The cry
of fraud that has been raised in New
York, he had better dispel the iIlu-
sion as soon as possible. General
Hancock, one of the best and purest
men that ever lived, has been defeat
ed, and General Garfield. if he lives,
wilkcertainly be inaugurated Presi-
dent of the United States on the
fourth of March next. This is the
verdict of the people, and, without
stopping now to inquire how that
verdict was obtained, let US bow 70
the will of the majority and indulge
in no hope that that will, as express
ed at the ballOt-box, will be set aside.
Having fought good fight and been
defeated, we accept the situation
without repining. and propose to turn
our attention to the future instead OF
wasting our strength in unmanly re
grets oyer the past. If the Demo
cratic party was right in its last great

equally SO now in the midst OF

THE CRY OF FRAUD.

Especial dispatch to the Wash. Star.
New YORK, Nov. 9.-While up to-
this time the very suggestion of go.
ing behind the New York returns
and declaring this State for Hancock
has been clasSed among the parts of
machinery of letting the Democracy
down easy it has been discovered
that the Democrats are very serious
about the matter and are working to-
that end with vigor unknown DUR
ing the canvass.
The Republicans have done moth.
ing, believing up to this time, as
Gen. Hancock is utterly opposed to
any scheme of the kind, and says So,
nothing would come of the talk; but
now they propose to be ready to de.
mand that the same class of investi-
CATION shall proceed under their aus
pieces in certain Southern States ard
here also to prove Democratic frauds.
Three or four Democratic Senators.
have already been heard from. Sen
ator Davis, of West Virginia, says
he will not be party to it. but will
oppose any attempt to open the affair,
and the others say they will NOT
think of giving it countenahce. A
nervous feeling obtains here, and
nothing but some pull lie declarations
from enough Democratic Congress
men to settle the matter now will
avert the unsteadiness in business
that is threatening to happen, and
last till the votes are counted in JAM
uary.
THE NEXT U. S. SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Novembe Gas to-
the Senate, the organization is in
doubt. 1t will be composed of thirty
seven Democrats, thirty seven Re-
publicans. and Malone and David
Davis. They will hold absolutely
the balance OF power. Davis will
undOubted ly act with the Democrats,
it will be tie, with Arthur to give
the casting vote. In this connection,
the question is raised whether the
Vice President can cast the deciding
vote in case the organization of the
Senate is affected thereby. Demo-
Gratis hold he cannot, because he is
not a member of the Senate. On the
other hand, it is maintained by the
Republicans that according to the
Democratic view the Senate could be
thrown into perpetual deadlock.
If the Senate should be tie by the
votes Of Mahoae and Davis, and the
question of organization pending,
there Will be row over the problem
whether Arthur can control the or
ganization by reason of his vote. The
Senate officials are all extravagantly
paid, and patronage to the amounto
over quarter of milf n of dollars
is involved. The House patronage
is about the same.

does not need a single Southern cleo
toral vote to elect its candidates. The
fears that the incoming administra-
ton will ''station United States
troops at the polls to control South
ern votes" are idle. No such measure
is needed the Republican party is
stronger with the South solid against
it than it would be with platoon of
soldiers at every voting precinct
south of the Potomac. There is no
danger that Garfield's administration
will dragon" the South for the
solid North is stronger than an army
with banners and the North will re-
main solid so long AS the South
remains so-not as measure of at
tack, but merely to preserve and
defend at the ballot-box the sacred
principles that it poured out its blood
and treasure to maintain. All that
the Democrats need do, therefore, in
order to keep the Republicans in
definitely in power. is to maintain
the solid South.
The 'solid South" is thus the very
banner and watchworl of defeat.
Apart from all questions of principle
and policy, this is fact and fact
it will remain. What should the
South do about it? The answer is
simple. If the North fears and sus-
poets the solid South, and thus con-
fronts it with victorious North,
those fears and suspicious must be
removed. The North must cease to
find in the attitude of the South a
Standing men?ce to the principles
that were carried successfully through
the war. How can those fears and
suspicious be removed? By planting
free thought, free discussion, free
vote, and fair count absolutely above
suspicion within their borders. The
states themselves must do this. The
shotgun clubs and red shirt clubs,
whose trade is the intimidation of
voters, and whose mission it is to
prevent the assembling of Republic
can and colored political meetings,
must not only disappear, but some OF
the ringleaders should be brought to
trial and receive justice at the hands
of the courts and juries Of the South
ern States. The silly papers that still
prate about 1.-THE lost cause" should
die for want of patronage. and be
rebuked aud repudiated by the more
sensible journals. In short, the tone
and temper of the South should cease
to be hostile to the North, and to
those voters who are in sympathy
with the maioritles at the North.
The last election has been. in effect
square fight between the North and
the South; the lines were drawn just
as they were twenty years ago, and
the result has been like that at Ap-
pomattox. Let the South remem-
Der that the magnanimity of the
North never appeared grander than
in the terms accorded to the con-
quered. Equal magnanimity awaits
them now. When the South ceased
to aim hostile guns at the North, no
longer were hostile guns pointed at
her; when 1t ceases to aim hostile
ballots at the principles established
then. no longer will political antago-
nism be directed against her. The
solid North will never be broken up
by defiance or sullen resistance, OF
by old Bourbon adherence to the
"lost cause" Against these it will
be as solid AS ice but it will thaw
under the genial breath of a hearty
and genuine political and social fra
ternity and friendship. -BdttimoI e
