FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. o, 1888
The Resu,t OF the Election.

Col. Quay enlightens the Philadelphia
Times as to the cause Of the result in
PENNSYLVANIA. He thinks ii was Cassidy
and the extra session. Maybe 1t was
bat II so the voters Of Philadelphia and
Allegheny were the ones chiefly affected,
slnce the returns from the country dis
tricts snow that the Democracy stood
up steadily to- their party. We bave
always been of the opinion that after the
extra session had tested the determina-
tion of the Republican Senate to refuse
10 do its constitutional duty in making
the apportionment, the Democratic
House should have adjourned, leaving
the responsibility for the failure to pass
the apportioument bills fixed upon the
Senate. The issue made upon this
question by the Democracy WAS weak.

c!ency Of the continued session to do
any practical good. The Republican
Senate was certainly in the wrong in re.

earthquake enough in the s...-;.on to
dissolve its tie.
In the year immediately pre-
ceding the presidential contest the
Republicans devotion to his party was
too strong 10 permit him to set the
seal of the condemnation which
he felt upon the unrighteous action
of his party leaders; and so Quay and
his associates have come out of their
contests unwbipped. If Republican out
RACES had not been coupled with Demo
cratic mistake. so that a clearer issue and
clearer presentation could have been
made of Republican wrong doing, the
result might have been somewhat differ
ent but this depends upon the estimate
made of the susceptibility of the Repub
lican conscience.
Col. Quay thinks that the two parties
now have an even chance in the presi.
dental election, whose result he presages
will depend upon their good conduct in
the coming year and he promises that
his side will be on its good behavior,
and will be particularly attentive
in its nominations TO securing
the good opinion of the Committee
OF One Hundred in Philadelphia, since
it has shown that it can move twenty
thousand votes from one side to the
other. This state of affairs is very
satisfactory one. There is nothing like
hho"'OuSc 'i VIC Pdtl vi q pO'iIlSldu
that the path OF reCtitude is that OF
success to make him tread it. The
Republican leaders, being very hndI,
scared, are likely to redeem their prom
ise OF good behavior but the people
have 80 thoroughly learned to appreciate
it as a devil when sick reformation that
the Republican managers will be at a
great disadvantage in getting their prom
ises marked up TO the gilt edge standard.
They reed discipline by retirement for a
season to purify them properly.
