Whosoever is taken by surprise bfyes,
terdays vDiing has not paid any rea-
ton to the signs or The times. Defeal fer
1.-The Republican party has been viii en-
in the political 'avens for Iaany msaihs
The party made mistake after mistaks il
has shown a remarkable faculty of dung
lint it should not have done. aud ofieav-
ing uudone what it should have dons, aud
it has got what it should have expeaed.
The Republican leaders, have m de h'
mistake of supposing that the Re pablicar
masses would forever keep them in olhc'
merely FOR the purpose AL kseeiDg de
Democrats out. They failed to auderstahc
that the civil war and AL the issues thai
grew out of il have been relegatei TO the
dead past, and that new principles and
new measures, are needed 10 keep intelli-
gent men in the party traces. They failed
10 perceive that the centralization tenden
cies which were borne with during the
war, and so long as the results Of the war
were still disputed, aud not in harmony
with the thought Of the best elements #
the people; and they failed TO comprehend
that desire for = strong Government Al
{ Washington does not mean desire Tor 9
| Government that NEEDLES with the local
affairs of the States.
Yesterdays elections should teach them
J what they must 40 if they still wish 10
remain in public life Ii should alse teach
the, Democratic leaders what their party
must do il it expects o retain the po "er
it has won. New ideas and new bloodis
the cry. The old party hacks must step
to the rear, and the men who have the
vigor of youth in mind, if not in body
must be allowed 10 come 10 the front. TIE
better half Of both parties must be fused
together, and TO accomplish this requires
that The real vital dangers Of the time be
boldly faced.
The spirit of monopoly has been che
ruin OF the Republican party. Frvm,iry-
ing 10 concentrate all the powers Of goy-
eminent ut Washington il came 10 favor
ing monopoly all over the couRtry. Il al,
lowed itself 20 be led astraS by Ike notion
that the absorption OF the rights OF he
States was necessary TO the security of he
changes wrought in the body polite by
The four years OF war, and those that were
largely instrumental in leading it astray
were those who fou nd a pecu MARY profit
therein-the moneyed corpo rations.
The American people have cried halt
They refuse to 60 any farther on this dau-
gerous road. They perceive the abyss
beyond aud they propose TO save them
SELVES 4ney give notice that government
must return 10 its legitimate sphere
that il must protect the interests Of the
people against the insidious approaches
of The mohopolists. They do not want
any Interference from the national capt.
tai with he affairs of any locality. They
want the national admi nisiratiou 10 Mt
end to its own particular duties, and the
State ADM Illustrations o attend 10 theirs,
lnd both present botd front TO the moo-
sy bags.
In the election of Governor Cleveland
10 the GovernorshiP of New York the PEG
PIE speak clearly on this point. They
have tHkeu the risk of puttinlk compar
itively an unknown man in this high po-
iiiioE simply because they hope TO hud
n him the leader for the new Departures.
They give him the opportunity o show his
netsle, aud il lie turns out to be of the
'tuf of which Presidents should be made,
President he is sure 10 b.. Tn Graphis
ropes that he will fulfill the fondest hopes
If his friends and admirers, and it bel
Ices so 1t will not hesitate 10 nominalt
lin as the peoples candidate for 1854
{ lac does not, another man is sure I'll
me forward who wiz satisfy the Peep lell
