Bpyar;l Oh the Election.

Senator Bayard, OF Delaware, was IN
Philadelphia Thursday. He Is naturally
pleased ut the extraordinary Democratic
majority in his state, and says that there
will be no opposition made by the party to
the reelection OF Senator salisbury. The
Senator commented upon the result IN
New Castle county n somewhat surprising
to him. in that the figures show that The
! full Republican vote was east for DICK
| IIarri?gton'S ticket. whereas il had been
hoDcd that the large element OF high re-
suectabilitv in the Republican party in New
Castle county would rcpudiate the shame
less attempt TO make Harrington the political
boss OF the state. In regard to the national
a>pcct OF TUESDAYS election, the Delaware
Senator said that he did not doubt that
the effect will be TO break up the Republic
can party in the United States; in fact. the
election clearly shows that the Republican
party is in the same position now a. the
Whig party was III 1854, when ii went TO
pieces. with the difference that there Is
now no such great question involved in
American politics as that which gave life
to the party which took the place OF the
routed Wings. - am, however, particu-
| larly pleased" continued the Senator, "tO
see how signal has been the failure OF the
| Stalwart plan TO overthrow the aSceGdency
| OF decent government in the South by
assisting 10 power 4 set OF political adyen-
/ turerS. whose success could not have
been less dreaded than the return TO
power Of the carpet-5ag government OF the
reconstruction days. The prostitution OF
high official power TO place the people OF
the South under, ii possible. more cruel
political task-masters than they were cursed
with in the high-tidc OF the rule Of the
M0scscs and BullOcks has failed OF its pur-
pose. What Malone has made Of Virginia
It was planned that others should maze Of
other southern states. All good men must
rejoice that such plan OF RcpublicanZing
/ the South could not succeed" one thing
which the Senator expressed himself IL
quite sure OF WAS that the election every
where is tremendous rebuhc OF the
! Administration and it, open repudia-
/ ton OF civil-Serice reform, and that
! il brings TO the front more prominent
| " than anything else the rc>istlesS de-
mand for 4 complete reform OF the civil
service. He did not expect TO sec this in
the national Administration while Arthur'S
| term lasts, but in the different State, at
once there would be a radical and salutary
/ change in the administration OF the public
service, ana the next hallOndl Auhllnlslfa-
ton, in view OF Tuesday result. must IN
cyitably be an Administration the first pur
pose Of which Will be TO establish system
OF ciyi-Seryice reform, based upon the
highest demands OF efficiency and charac-
ter. The current OF popular demand TO
which the Democratic party has already
wisely yielded-ior the best and pure,t
men at the head Of aliairs-the Senator
thinks, will not be opposed by tie party
hereafter. No men can and no men should
be allowed to press themselves TO the front
who IN character are not above suspicion
and whose records are not beyond re-
proach. Phiadelphid Record.
