THE LONDON ADVERTISER
LONDON, Nov 4.-The Advsrtissr says Eve
cannot but regret the result. In tho FIRST
place there is no comparison between the
merits of the two men. Garfield is a third rate
Republican party politician belonging not
perhaps to the school of the Blaines, Conklines
and Camerons, but quite as little to that of
reformers like Adams or administrators like
Sherman. He is a nominee of the wire pulling
interest. Hancock is, with few exceptions,
the most distinguished, and without single
exception, we believe the
most loyal. honest and hieh-minded
soldier still in active service of the Union. He
is a man of distinction so great that even his
Obnoxious Democratic politics could not pre-
vent his retention in active service when
twenty-nine. thirtieths of the soldiers, officers,
and generals of the federal army were relegat-
ed to civil life; and, since the younger Adams
no man of character equally high, no man so
completely answering to what Englishmen
mean by by gentleman, has filed the Presi-
dental chair. Garfield belongs to the type of
which Lincoln was the best and Andrew Johu-
son by no means the worst example,
THE LONDON TELEGRAPH.
LONDON, Nov. 4.-The Daily Telegraph de-
votes its leading article to the election. It
says: So far as national issues are con-
cerned the Democratic party has fought and
lost Its last great battle. No future Presi-
entail campaign will be conducted under the
bannsr which was originally hoisted by
Thomas Jefferson and which symbolized hatred
to the fatherland az the foremost plank of its
platform. That this feeling has passed away
is clearly evinced by the fact that in the strug-
gle between Garfield and Hancock the sympa.
thies of Englishmen have been all along in
favor of the former. In continuation of it's
comments on the election the Telegraph says:
The success of the Republican candidates pre-.
sages not only continuation, but further
continuation of that prosperity which set
in two years ago upon the other side of the
Atlantic, and the influence of which is largely
felt by these Islands, within their own con-
lines, and all throughout the rest of Europe.
The probability is that the next struggle for
power will be between the united free traders
or the West on one hand against the Eastern
protectionists on the other. In the opinion of
far.sighted men upon both sides of the Allan
tic it is impossible for that momentous issue
to be much longer delayed
THE LONDON TIMES.
LONDON, Nov. 4.-The Times, in an editorial
on the election says: s'There are good reasons
for believing that Gen. Garfeld's administra-
ton will be like the present one, moderate in
policy, Though we must regret that civil SER
vice reform aud free trade have been equally
thrust into background during the campaign
and are evidently not for the moment eagerly
desired by any considerable proportion of
the American people. The abatement of the
animosities on both sides, which were kindled
even 30 recently as the contest in 1876 by the
Southern question, permits us to hope that

division Of parties unconnected with the slave
system and the civil wer. The foreign policy
of the Republican party. in spite of
the friction caused by war and Alabama claims
has been on the whole friendly to this country
and to peace all over the world. In the days
before secession, when the slave. holding South
and Democratic party had to depend largely
upon tie Irish vote in the Northern cities, then
recruited from immigrants full of recent
hatred to England, it was the fashion to de-
nounce the British government and nation, not
only in the press but in Congress-, in speeches
OF responsible statesmen. and even in official
documents. Our relations with the American
government during the past twenty years pre-
sent no parallel to the deplorable controver-
sizes associated with the presidencies of Polk,
Pierce aud Buchanan. The tone of political
disc Ission in the United States, go far as Eng
land is concerned, has steadily improved, and,
though this is caused, in part, by the absorp-

THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN
MANCHESTER, Nov. 4.-The Guardian, the
most influential representative of the provincial
press, comedies with the London papers, con
graduating both parties on the result of the
election leaving no opening for disputes. 1t
TO ha -,
the Democrats do not change their tactics, the
Republicans should not hold office for another
twenty years. Probably the former would
do well to let the question of State rights drop
as far as possible into obscurity. 1t behooves
them to find another rallying cry. This may
eventually be furnished by free trade, which
a succession OF bad harvests or gradual ex-
haustion of the soil may bring into their
haIds. There is no possibility of modifca.
ton of the tariff for four years. There IL,
however, some consolation for this in the fact
that the Republican policy is otherwise fri end

THE MEMPHIS APPEAL,
MEMPHIS, Nov. 4.-The appeal says: The Re-
pnblicans have carried every Northern State
except New Jersey and that is Democratic by
greatly reduced majority. The Democrats
have been badly beaten. They have suffered
complete waterloo CEREAL. LIE ASSURANCES on
which we built our hopes of success were as q
mountain of sand to be washed in night out
of sight by the food Of Republican votes. The
South stands almost alone tor Democratic
principles. The sections are more sternly de-
fined to-day than they were in 1850. These de.
feats SO disappointing to those who had hoped
for an honestly administered government du-
ring the next four years, are the result of an
appeal to the sectional passion and prejudice
of the people of the North, by Grant. Oonk-
ling. Evarts, Beecher, John Sherman, Ingeraoll
and other lesser lights. Conkllng gave the key
note to the canvass and they repeat it
on every stump, but the work of slandering
the Southern people was not left to the politi-
clans. The press teemed with falsehoods man.
