This is the way the New York Sun
puts it:
Would you know the meaning Of
The political revolution which struck
ilS first blow in Ohio three days ago,
aod will sweep through Pennsylya- -
MIA and New York three weeks
from next Tuesday,
/. Reduce the expenses Of every
branch Of the Federal Government
to basis Of simplicity, econ omy and
honesty
II. Abolish the internal revenue
abomiuation
III. Make the tariff simple and
rational, aud just sufficient to pro-
vide for the wants OF an honest and
economical Administration in time
Of peace
". No stealing either by Admin
istration and its agents, or by Con-
gress and itg employees
This is the meaning and the pur-
pose Of this mighty overturn.
is the Democracy wise enough and
hlgh-miuded enough to execute this
peremptory mandate with fidelity
and courage ? We shall see. This
occasion is great. And we are hap.
Py to add, the future is hopeful

Not among the least important Of
the approaching elections, SAYS the
Wheeling Register, is that OF Virginia,
although the campaign in that State
is not attracting so much attention
ss those in New York aud Penney -
vanja.
The Baltimore Sun il specially
we'll informed upon Virginia politics,
and ina review Of the situation
makes the statement that the indl.
cations OF the Congressional canvass
point all one way--to the overthrow
of bossism--ou the seventh OF Novem-
be. next.
Time enough has elapsed to give
the discordant elements of the coal
ltion parties opportunity to display
themselves. Both the Readjuster and
the Republican parties to the coalition
have split. The former have divided
into Malone and anti Malone lac
tions, while third section OF the
Readjueter party, under Massey's
leadership, havo renounoed Read -
Justerism as dead issue, aud have
returned to the ranks of the Demo
cratic party. The Republicans have
ceased also to act together, part
only alherirg to their bargain with
Malone, while the remainder, COM
prising large proportion of the
colored population, have made
straight out Republican or anti-Ma-
hone nominations.
The sum of the above facts is, there
fore, this That Malone will lose
largely from both the Democratic
Readjuster and the Republican =
kesdJuster wings of bis army, and il
most probably marching the remain
der to political Waterloo. This
Will be more evident when it is re-
called that the majority with which
he carried the State last fall, when
he controlled all the elements Of his
past success, was only about 1900.
That he will not lose enough OF this
vote TO beat him, say 1000 ballots,
would seem to be lncre llbie, oonsid-
ering that some Of his most inAuen-
tial supporters, such as Massey, Ly-
brook, Hale, Nowberry, Ward Mail
ley, Reynolds, etc. have abandoned
him and joined his opponents. The
fight made against HIM by anti Re-
aHus er Republicans is especially
bitter, Dawson, the coIored Repub.
lican candidate for Oongressman.at-
large, IS an active canyAsser, and
little doubt can be entert tined that
he will draw enough votes from
WIee to elect Massey, who will poll al
most the whole Democratic Strength.

The New York correspondent OF

"Mr. Bergh is probably the most

He goes there very often, and,

ing special attention to the matter
OF safety in the theatres. He has
constituted himself general Inspector
Of aisles, exits, &C., and when he dis
covers anything in the arrangement
OF these that does not meet his APP
proval, writes an autocratio letter to
the department OF buildings about it
aud insists that the matter shall b.
attended to, There is no doubt at
all that some Of the New York
theatres are mere tinder boxes and
death traps, aud if Mr., Bergh sue
ceeds in reducing the danger in them
he will do an excellent work. He
seems to have taken hold as though
he meant it. and he says 1t is not
his habit to let up until whot he has
set out to DO 10 done. Tue depart

THE POLITfCtL SJTU1TTON.
TIE New York Tribune says that
"no truthful person with ordinary
powers OF observation will deny
that the Republican party in many
OF the States-psrbaps Throughout
the entire country is rent with in
ternal dsseosions, di9organized and
divided to su extent never before
known in its history. The most ar
dent Republican partisan will not
pretend that the present outlook, a
short month only before the State
end Congressional elections, is hope
ful or encouraging. II would be
neither useful nor profitable to at
tempt to Disguise the truth. Tue
part Of wisdom rather is TO look the
iacts calmly IN the face, trace tie
widespread discontent to its sources

The hind sight Of the Democrats
in this State will continue to improve,
says the Wheeling RsyS,er, as more
complete returns OF Tuesdays vote
are received.
The Second district adds its les
son to that of the First. Even il Mr..
Wilson should have a slight ma
jority on the official count, the result
carries with it all The lessons OF de-
feat.
The same causes which worked
disaster to the Democrats of the First
District are apparent in the vote in
the Second. 1t was not an increase
of Republican votes; not change
OF Democratic votes to Republicans;
but simply the stay-st-home dispo-
sltion which is the legitimate result
OF lack of organization. While the
Republican vote was up to the aver
age, the Democratic vote fell of In
almost every county and district.
An accurate registration and classlf.
cation of'the voters in both the FIRST
and Second Districts to-day, W ould
unquestionabIY show a large prepou-
derance of Democratic voters.
Nobody dou bts that. AS remarked
by one Of the best informed politi-
clans this city on the day after the
election, "Ohio county can be carried
fol- the Democrats six days in the
week by from 800 10 400 majority
under any competent leadership and
orgauiza ton
And The same may be said Of the
First and Second Districts. They
have the voters TO DO it. The cleo
tion on Tuesday was in no sense
test Of party strength, but rather
test of party organization. There
never has been a more notable Illus.
trstion of Whist party organization
vii! DO than that given IN the First
district. II il is not 70 conspicuous
in the Second it is sufficiently 90 to
illustrate the same thing. There
was not 10 the latter district the
same effort at organic ttion by eli her
party that was made 10 the FIRST,
but the Republican candidate, Col,
Mason, male very thorough ctnyaes
while Mr.. Wilson was brought into
the csmr aign only twenty days be-
fore the eiecti3a and was able only
to visit a part Of the district. The
result was that Nc. Mason's vote
turned cut and Mr.. Wilson's did
not.
1t seems surorAuous to more than
state these facts to enforce the les
son they carry. If the review Of the
Democratic disaster OF Tuesday does
not discover to party leaders and
voters the cause and the cure, the
situation is a very hopeless one.

The lesson of Ohio, says the Phil
alelphia Times. is the lesson Of ir-
resishble Republican disintegration.
IL is not a change OF Rebublican COZ
viotions. but it is the final out break
OF Stalwart dissolution. 1t is the
death knell of the Stalwirt spoils
system, and il presents the grave
problem whether Republication can
now regenerate itself and renew It's
power and grandeur. 1t il idle TO
say that the German vote or the Ii
cense question or any other local or
accidental issue has wrought tho
revolution. Parties cant be disin-
tegrated aud defeated by local ques-
tions while they are strong in integ-
rity and patriotic in purpose. 1t
was not Kuow-Nothingism or the
Kansas issue that defeated Demo-
cratic corruption and Generalization
that enabled every question OF the
time to distract aud dlsintegrate it.
1t was unequal to its own regenera-
tion, and it fell hopelesaly in the
race. 1t is 80 with Repubiicanisn
now, and Ohio simply starts the tide
Of Republican defeat that will sweep
over Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana,
and Illinois may be greatly bent if

omen OF the result TO be expected
next month in New York. Peuusyl-

Baltimore S,n, promises TO the Dem-
ocrats the control of the next Con
Gress. Not for anything they have
done TO merit the direction of affairs
since they have been in the minority
and can do nothing, but because the
country Is dissatisfied with the work
OF their opponents, aud hopes to i'm
prove its condition by a change. A
grave responsibility is thus imposed
upon the victors. II after the 4th Of
March the Democrats are in control
of the House, with the Senate and
the Presidency in the hands of Re-
publicans, they will need to act with
extraordinary wisdom if they do not
furnish material for their own defeat
in the Presidential campaign OF 1884
They will be held responsible for leg
islation, and yet will be thwarted in
every act, by which they might ex-
pect to do credit to their party. AT
presen. their only function is the
easy one of oriticising the bluuders
OF their opponents. successful in
November, after next March and for
two years following tboy will have
the less pleasant task OF explaining
their own record. Yet there are
some duties for them to perform which
If not neglected, will insure them the
favor of the country. Senator PEN
dleton has introduced into Congress
a comprehensive measure for the re-
form Of the federal civil service.
This the Democrats viii, have it in
their power to take up and passin
