OPINIONS AND COMMENTS
The Newspapers ON the Result.
New York Tribune.l

The result makes Republican SUCCESS pos
sibe I'm the next Presidential contest. IL New
York. Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania had
all followed Ohio In going Democratic this
year, few would have been hopeful enough to
believe that 20 overwhelming Il currcn: could
have been turned back i'm single year. Now,
everybody can see that fighting ground Is
left: that the Republicans can fairly hope by
good conduct and good fortune to carry every
State they had in 1850; and that, us against a
party SO prone to biunder and with SO many
chances to hlunder as the Democrats, their
prospect for carrying enough of them is moro
than fair.
New York Herald
Although the result throughout this State
was practically Ievolution-for Demo-
cratic majority reduced from 100. 900 to
e.0.0OO or thereahouts implies an over
whelming chanee-yet the Republicans can
hardly congratulate themselves upon all
their vote ~ legitimate gain for their party
They must not count 1t without consideration
of their friend John Kelly. There Is no doubt
publican candidates represents the treason Of
Tammany hall 10 the Democratic candidates.
New York passes into
the category OF doubtful States in the Prcsi-
Dental election of 1854. and the managers Of
the Democratic party have nobody but them
selves to blame for Ii.

The result reaches further ana rises hiRher
than mere victory of Democrats over Re
pubicans. 1t means 1854. 1t means change
ut Washington. 1t means that the people arc
tired Of the ruling party. II means the vim
iicati0n OF popular elfgovernmcnt. All ut
tempts to divert attcntiQa from the fact that
yesterdays ! contes At was the decisive skirmish
in the Presidential battle faied. One marked
feature Of the Democratic victory I'm New
York Ii the evidence il arords of the total fail.
ure OF the Republican attempt to hoodwink the
people on the tariff issue. The effort to dra0
the tariff into the canvass WAS ahortive here

were jubilant over the thought that they had

their opponents We're Oh the wrong side ol
the question. The election IN New York
shows plainly that the drift of the tide Is with

clarea that the liquor interests contributed

New York still retains her place In the col
umn of Democratic States. although, ol
| course, by majority far below the phc
| nomenal one which carried Mr.. Cleveland
| into the Governors chair year ago. Will,
| Republicans have made enormous gains al
over the State as compared with the result /
year ago, the Democrats have done as well a:
| il not better than they expected. Twent,
thousand majority Is not very large, but II Il
| enough.

| A sudden change has come over the politi
| cal prospect Of the country within the las
| ltwcnty-four hours. Where there were doubts
aud ominous shakngs of the head as to tn,
| future there Is now cheerful confidence. The
| freaks OF the elections of last year stant
| forth In their true light. There MAS no per
| manent strength in the ehullition which
made Butler Governor of Massachusetts, an,
| gave Cleveland the astounding majority O
| .uO, 900 In New York. These were not evi
dcnccs that the people were ready for tn,
change which would place the Country unde
Democratic administration. They signiffe,
merely dissatisfaction with the method
adopted by certain Republican managers.
