VHAT THE FIGURES .SHOU

New-YoIk and Kings Counties are the
two most pronounced Democratic stroug-
holds, where one would naturally loOk for any
existing increase in the Democratic vote
They show none. In Kings County, for in
stance, the falling OIL in the total vote from
the registration is 90 900, or fraction over Is
per cent, which is twice the Usual percentage
Of loss. The vote Of Folger, Republican, is
less than that of Garfield by 25,625 loss
almost as great as the vote (2G,125) which
Folger received. Yet at the same time Glove
lands gain over IIancock's vote is only 4,319
T. part, if not indeed the whole, of this in
crease can certainly be accounted for by the
wel-known fact that many Republicans not
only refused the Folger ballots but openly
voted those of the Democracy.
The illustrations afforded by the figures
in New-York County are still more
startling. The total vote here is about
23v0O less than the registration, or loss of
only II per cent, instead of Is per cent as in
Brooklyn And while Folger falls 34,Ol6
below Garfield, Mr.. Ceyeland's increase over
Hancock is only $3.50. If we 20 still further
into details the same result follows. The With
Assembly District is strongly Democratic !;
the Republican loss is 923 while the Dem
ocratic gain is only 81. The Xlth District is
strongly Republican; FOlger's loss there is
2,4S7 and Cleyelands gam is 80. The XVIII
is as strongly Democratic, but while the Re-
publican loss vas 2,l15 there was no gain for
Cleveland but an actual falling of OF 20 from
Hancock's vote. Words will not emphasize the
moral of these figures they enforce their own
unequivocal logic.
Itisa further fact worth noticing that in
this county aud in Kings County Mr.. Cleve-
land polls the same percentage OF the total vote
cast, and that it reaches the unparalleled figures
of ITO per cent. The detailed figures from
interior Republican counties will not greatly
reduce this proportion, fol Ihe reason, IA we
have urged above, that it is the Republicans

flowing with promises; the country will look
to them for their fulhlment. Can they do 1t
Can they show themselves Civil Service re-
tormersl Can they prove the sincerity OF
their opposition to Bossism by throw ne over
their own BOsses"l Can they agree upon any
economical system or financial policy Can
they formulate foreign policy or agree among
themselves upon a method OF conducting our
relations with other Governments
These are some of the difficulties in the path
OF this triumphant party. They could not sur
mount them when the people trusted them with
power in 1874 and though they seem to have
learned something since then, we do not believe
they can now. The history of the Democratic
party does repeat itself. Once in about Tour
years the people give it an opportunity. 1t
uses IT to have circus. They are getting ready
for one now. And the party that comes in
with such rush in 1882 will go out with
much liyelier whirl in 1884.

who have given Mr.. Cleveland his enormous
majority either by refusing to support foiger
or by voting directly for the Democratic can
didate.
The Republcans have made one serious
.under in this business, and one which we
foresaw and feared, and tried to warn our
readers against committing. We urged all
very strennousIy to register in order to vote on
the important municipal contests, particularly
ia New-York and Brooklyn. They seem TO
have done well IN registering hut then iaiieu
10 vote The falling of of the vote from tue
registration in Brooklyn was 2O,OOO ana I'D
New York $4,000. Nearly the whole OF TINS
unprecedented loss may be safely said to nave
been Republican. If it had been cast as he-
publican it would have sufiiced to elect the
whole city and county ticket in Brooklyn,
and would have elected Allan Campbell ana
other good candidates in this city. IL would
certainly have saved the Republicans several
Assemblymen and one or two Congressman
SOME THINGS THAT TUESDAY SETTLED
That the Republicans of New-IOrk, true to
their own self-respect and to the inspiring ira
dtions of their party, prefer defeat to success
conditioned upon fraud and forgery.
That political leaders who leave ont OF their
calculations the operation of moral forces
simply invite the defeat of their plans.
That State Convention in which the will of
the people is wantonly disregarded IN order that
the will OF the bosses may have free course anu
be glorlfed can confidently be relied upon to
be followed by canvass in which the people
will leave it to the bosses to elect the ticket
if they can.
That a State Committee run by q chairman
fresh from the pillory of party condemnation,
instead of being an engine to pash the candl-
dates forward, is simply milestone about their
necks holding them down.
That a statesman who thoroughly remodels
his econ victionsn of al evening. and is noml-
mated to a high office the next morning, may
count upon finding that the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November Is an uncOm'
monty cold day.
That Mr. Steve French and the admirers OF
his political methods would do well next time
to see that the proxies which they contribute
to the campaign are not loaded
That the variety OF despot known as the
boss, and the variety of malOrganizltiOn known
as the machine, have had tIer day, and can
only be potent in the future as impressive
warnings.
That the Independent Republican press OF
the State, in what it had to say during the
canvass, reflected the sentiments OF the great
mass of Republicans.
That the triumph of an Administration in
forcing the candidate of its choice upon
State Convention is one thing, and securing
"the consent of the governed to the election
of such candidate is quite another.
That honesty in politics. as in everything
else, is the best policy

OF last wear was largely Republican. According
TO our table, published in another column, 81
Democratic and 46 Republican Assemblymen
were elected Tuesday. The Assembly OF 1881
was made ND of 81 Republicans, 16 Democrats
and / Independent. We regret TO say that tne
similarity ends with these figures. nc
Assembly of 1851 contained large nuinoeI
of experienced and able legislators, "ueIe"s
the next House with few exceptions mas
for members those who may have the making
of statesmen in them but whose careers are
olI before them. The Democracy are entitled
IN sympathy because of the proportions OF theiI
majority. For it is altogether too large to I've
easily handled or kept compact and homogene-
ous. Experience teaches that majority that
is simply large enough for working purposes 10
more desirable than one as big as that just
elected.
In New York President Arthur has been
beaten by the largest majority ever given In
any State. Just across the river, Mr. Phelps
who resigned his post as Minister to Austria as
soon as President Garfield died, has been
elected to Congress by surprising majority
considering the general tenor Of results else

against 3 majority for Hancock Motifs
County also, which gave less than 600 majority
for Garfield and less than 200 tor other kepuo-
lican candidates this year, gives MIR. Pheips

Mr.. Phelps's antagonist, an honest, worthy ana
very popular silk manufacturer, Mr.. Phelps
has 572 majority, though other popular Keruo-
lican candidates had much less. These things
indicate that it IS not absolutely fatal to man.
at present, to be well known as trusted 1rlehu
and earnest follower of President Garfield.
