| New York Herald, Wishy.WAsby. Taken
altogether, the republicans were considerably

a fighting chance left to the republicans, A
good deal of vitality still remains to the old
party.
New Orleans Times, Dem.: The result in
Virginia has been 40 unexpected and so ac-
ceptable, that we have no time to rejoice over
another state but this.
Chicago Inter Ocean, Rep: The result
was about stand-of. The democrats did
not lose and the republicans did not win. 1t
will all have to be tried over again.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Rep: The
republican party Is as strong to-day as it ever
was in its history. 1t has purged itself of its
rascals and its conspirators.
Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem.: Ohio is the
battle ground of the future. There is no fool

ton party may congratulate themselves upon
tho first square knock down of the campaign.

disguise. They can now feel that their SELF
respect has come back to them
Chicago Tribune, Rep: If they are wise,
prudent, and conservative. the republicans

the last vote to overthrow the democracy,
even if all these combined can do it.
Cincinnati News-Journal. Dem.: The re-
suit of yesterdays voting makes republican
success next year possible. 1t is only possi-

vote.
Chicago Times, Cosssck: The old putrid
"reminiscences, mis-called the democracy, is
the llveiiest and yet ut the same time the most
the decent people of the country try to bury
it, it persists in sitting right up in its coffin.
New York Times, Rep: Neither party has
a sure thing for 1884. Never since the first
election of Grant were the republicans so
near to ruinous disaster. Only superhuman
efforts, it seems to Us. can avert the catas.

extracted from the results of Tuesday.

democrats could carry New York by 10000
with prOhibitiOnst ut the head of the ticket
and openly opposed by 10000 voters of his
own party. and with two tickets in the field
In New York city, the stronghold of the
democracy, is perhaps the strongest evidence
that could be afforded that the state is secure
in any moderately well managed campaign.
Brooklyn Eagle, DEM: New York is the
pivotal state. The democrats could hardly
have been in worse form than when they
went into the fight this fall; their ticket was
assaicd by special interests, and in most of
the large cities the party was divided. Not
wthstanding all this theidemocrats have car
rled the state, the sole exception being the
head OF the ticket, Mr.. Maynard. With this
single exception, all the state officers are
democrats.
