morning Hon. W. II. English talked
freely about tho late election and It's re-

nnrnauiy we'll considering the defeat in
October, and that they have not had u
majority In tho State since 1872 aud then
less than ], 200 for Hendricks for Cover

The result. While feeling the honor of
the unanimous nomination, the Vice.
Presidency without influence and pat
ronnge had no charms for him, and he
feels rather glad that ho is LEFT Ito life
moro congonial and profitable. The
Democracy with Democratic Senate, q
close House of Representative and the
Presidency decided by small mnjority
in single State, will not die. The real
Cause of the Republican success was
prosperous times and business satisfac-
ton. The country thought 1t wisest to
let we'll enough alone. Lack of harmony
In New York, the October election in
Indiana and some other things may
have had n little weight, but the main
thing was the business prosperity and q
disposition to let we'll enough alono. MIR.

How wo Lost New York.
A significant circumstance that attract
ed prompt notice and comment was the
fact that, althoagh the registration had
been $4,000 creator than In 1875. tho total
vote was about tho same, while the Re-
publican vote was about tho same, indi-
eating largo nbstenti0n on the part of
Democratic voters. This IL credited to
the depressing effect of tho local tick ct
headed by Grace, which was very unpop-
ular. John Kelly Is charged with trench
cry to the party and With having bar
gnined with General Arthur to give tho
Republicans tho State while he should
have the city. Tammany Hall was 4 cave
of gloom as tho returns camo in, and
Kelly seemed to be genuinely dumb
founded at tho slaughter of Democratic
majorities. With greatly increased reg
lstration, both In New York and Brook
lyn, Hancock had not over gotten two
thirds of Tilden's majority in those two
cities.
Your correspondent asked Kelly what
he thought was the cause OF It, and he
said ho could rot understand It; he could
not tell what had gotten into the people.
Some of tho TGmmany small-fry, how
over, loudly declared that the Irving Hall
faction had played the traitor. Con.
Hancock had Western Union wire In
his quarters. and received dispatches up
to half-past nine. He then announced
