National Republican., 1883-11-06

foreshadow republican victory for 1884.
The great financial, commercial, agricultu-
raj, manufacturing, aud laboring interests in
the Empire State will be profoundly stirred
during tho year of the presidential election,
because of the real danger of democratic
success. Aroused to tho danger, they will bo
equal to the effort necessary to avert IT,
In Pennsylvania the voice of faction is also
hushed, and republicans have recovered from
the ill-tcmper, iealousies, and hates which
seemed a year ago to possess them. There is
every reason to look for republican victory
in the Keystone State
The outlook in Massachusetts, is not clear.
So high runs the excitement there that each
side has wrought itself up to pitch of energy
which 1t is easy to mistake for strength. Tho
success of tho republican candidate is hoped
for, and his worth and popularity, which arc
both unquestioned, should insure it. Should
he fail because of old attachments between
Butler and somo republicans this will indi-
cato nothing as to 1884. Then republicans
will vote against the democratic party, who.
ever may head it, But if Butler should sue
coed, tho democratic party will rue its mar
riago with the terrible widow, and will, when
too late, say in the language of tho old
nursery rhyme:
Needles and pins. needles and pins;
When II man marres his trouble begins.
Four and twenty years, come next May,
will have passed since the democratic party
last had tho pleasure Of the Widow Buffers
company at one of its national tea parties
There will bo music in the air if he is nomi
mated, and there will be music everywhere if
he is not. The doughty old chieftain will
try conclusions with Mr.. B9yard and those who
agree with him in his charge of desertion
of the democratic patty leveled at all who
were found on tho side of the government in
1861. The republican party can have no such
embarrassments. We welcome tho ex-confed-
crates because they are nOU for the union.
Tho Bayard democracy propose to shoot as
Jdcserters Butler and his followers becaus o
thsy were then for the union.
Connecticut is always uncertain except in
presidential elections, and New Jersey is
always certain for the democracy on those
and most other occasions.
Maryland will show large republican gains,
and her vote next year will so to tho best
organized and drilled of the two great parties.
We believe that will be ours.
In Mississippi elections do not elect, al
though the independents and the anti-bour-
bon wing of the republicans are making n
stand in some of the counties.
AS for Virginia we look for triumph over
bourbonism which will be trumpet call for
the whole south, and will make what is now
sneeringly called "Mahoneism" the synonym
in that section for all that builds up tho
for one long shout of praise and gladness
throughout the north over the victory for
which Malone has both labored and suffered
reproach, and we shall hear with complacency
the howl of pain which expiring bourbonism
will give forth at that victory. ,. au.
! Such are some of the reflections suggested
by the possibilities and probabilities of to-
day. Whatever may be the outcome of this
days work, the American people will be equal
to the task of next year. to guard their gov
ernment from seizure by a party which em-
braces tho unsurrendered bomb-proof ele-
ment of the great rebellion, and which only
allows its opponents to vote when it has not
the physical force to prevent them.
