About the Late Elections.
New YORK, Nov. 13.-Prospects for Re-
publican harmony are not good. The Or
ganizers of victory were the objects of last
Tuesdays reproof. To take the party and
make anything out of it with no money
and general apathy is uphill work. I
rather expect to see the Democracy become
two bands through the influence of those
hundreds of thousands of Republican re-
cruits. The machine elements in the De-
mocracy will persistently repel these men,
as the machine element in the Republican
party did, and when they go out they will
take a clear sympathetic following along
from the anti-mossbacks. 1t is not
possible that either Cleveland or Patteson
will please the city bosses of the pa rty
The corruption at Albany and Harrisburg
will resent a governors interference.
and yet active integrity and challenges are
expected of both these governors. They
will fail by a timid, passive policy.
If Arthur's administration ceases to be
a nuisance the tendency to reorganization
VIII be healthy, whether it proceeds within
the victorious Democratic column or in the
two parties. TIE offensive leaders OF the
late party, Robson, Malone, Kiefer, Cam
eron, Filley, Conkling, Plat. ct a., are
hors de combat, and will provoke 10 more
discussion. The defeat has segregated
Arthur, and he has only to learn and get
rid of the larcenOus influences around him.
He may, in a weak spirit OF revenge, give
his favors to Democrats now. What he
ought to do after such a terrific rebuke is to
change all his ministers, and draw party
distinctions very mildly in the selection of
them. He needs every bit of influence he
can bring to protect himself from assault
by congress-. But he must absolutely
change his spirit to appreciate the crisis.
He must know that the ward leaders who
bring out the vote of the dead rabbits nave
no part in making that public which is
more than present. This sort has become

cowardice and pretension, which under the
self-seeking spirit of stalwartism is apprc-
priating this government.

Ominous name! Does not every drop of
spilled blood seems fury? It has been
only a year since Garfield fell. With a ia
tuity born of ill breeding and bloody
wishes, the names of Hayes and Garfield
were constantly DETAINED in the stalwart
press during this campaign. The great
cause of this defeat, however, was the
steady Indifference of the Republican par
ty to poor mems rights, and the wrongs of
the multitude. It had become a rich mans
attorney instead of a popular instrument
tally. The legislation was for sale. Its
selections were carried by great purses
raised from the contractors, schemers, cap
italists and thieves. Arthur was one of the
best purse-raisers. He found at the
attempt to elect Folger that not aver
these men would pay anything. The pres
ident was not behaving to suit patriotic
rascality. for rogues can still be citizens.
Having become prostitute, the brains of
the party ceased to earn anything. 1t be-
came entirely incapable of acting on gen.
eral public questions, and was out of ideas
from the time it refunded the public debt.
Half OF its victories were gained by alarm
ing vested industries and threatening some
