The Voice After the Election.

ChdC DeIaWare Vlndlcated him
enough on Tuesday, he can tryit again
in lSS4.-TrdnScript.
The open manner in which the Dem
ocrats bought negro voters on Tuesday
all over this State, ought at least to do
away with their cry of "White Mans
PeaI-ty. ."-SentineL.
In the elections this Fall the Demo-
Gratis carried twenty States.
twenty-five outright and two for Gov
ernor, while the Republicans carried
eleven.
The Wilmington Morning News saws
that so far as the colored vote of Del
aware is venal to-day the Republican
party of Delaware is responsible for it
by paying their taxes"
The election has at least caused no
shrinkage in the value of bonds issued
by the late COnfederacy. In San Fran
cisco Thursday, Confederate State
bonds sold at $3.50 per 81 900.
The tidal wave comes at a good time.
Don't be confident Democratic breth-
ern. The tidal wave of IA preceded
the Presidential defeat of '76. History
oft repeats itself-CecH Wing.
Was thc:e ever an election which
apparently gave such general satisfac-
tion to men of both parties? There is
only one regret to be heard on the part |
of the majority of the Republicans, and |
that is that Mr.. FOlger should have got !
the nomination and the vote instead of |
Mr.. COnkling.
Hon. n. B. Smithers says it is easier
to hang man in Delaware than to get
him assessed after his name has been
stricken from the assessment list. The
Democrats sOlemnly pledged them
selves for reform. Here is n place
they can afford to begin without a
moments delay.
| The returns of the election in Mary
/ land would indicate that the cyclone of
! Democratic wrath that swept Republi-
/ can strongholds left a vacuum behind
which permitted some accidental slips.
The Democrats have lost one additional
Congressman, and several Republican
Judges have been elected to succeed
! Democrats.
We shall now see whether Senator
Hoar will make good his reported
threat to emigrate from Massachusetts,
if Butler was elected. The Senator
had better stay at home and reflect on
the responsibility he has for the defeat.
His support of the River and HarbOr
steal " over the Presidents veto was
terrible blow to the intelligent Re-
publicanism of Massachusetts.
, THE good ship New Constitution
founders in the Democratic deluge,"
/ saws the iubilant DelGWdren. Ther e
is more truth in this than the Bourbon
organ perhaps intended that there
should be. Nobody expects a new
constitution from the present Legisla-
ture. There is too much Salisbury in
? it. By the way, the Saulsbery ticket
t of Kent county did not ride in on a
: very high deluge Morning Neirs.
The Morning NeWs in an editorial
: under the head of No Bosses-GooG
!, or Bad" directed especially at the
J State Central says: Our own notion
I is-it may he wrong-that hitherto We
Il have had too much leadership" Tht
u Republican party, so far as we know
l has never won a victory under " leader
J. ship" 1t has had moral leadership
lust as every good work to he perform
ed by an association of men has; ant
:. this moral leadership has as oftel
! come from the middle or the bottom o
- the party as from the top, and goo
is deal Oftener.
