The End at Last. e

lbe CONCLUSION OF the canvass in this
city decide President Cleyeland's elec.
ton even begend a Tribune doubt. The
Democracy i'eturn to power after nearly
% quarter o. a century's exclusion. -
The Republicans step aside and the
Grand Old Party, winch has held the
Government since 1850, retires.
Ithas much to be proud of IN its early
history. It has much to be ashamed OF
in lie later career.
The party commenced with the cleo
tion of President truthful, simple.min.
ded iand honest. 1t ended With the
nomination Of candidate untru,hful,
tricky and dishonest. II deserved 10
fall. <sls
History will do Justice to The Repub
licans Tor slitthe good they have accom-.
lplishedf Tier overthrow comes 10 time
to save them from iniamy, but not from
the stain of corruption.
% this Sunday the varquished may
we'll resolve to lay aside their bitterness
accept the result in good spirit and with
liberalization to stop. -detrsction, and
do justice 10 an honest President. (, The
victors may we'll determine to enjoy their
triumph modestly and with firm deter
mination that it shall inure to the hap
piness of the nation and regeneration of
the Republic rather than to the advan-
tage OF political party. t..
We heartily congratulate the Demo.
Gratis on their success. We as sincerely
congratulate them on the 6rmness by
which repetition OF the crime OF
1875. was made impossible. We call on
them to remember that the change must
be one not of political parties only, but
Of ideas, principles and methods The
ADMINISTRATION must be Democratic, bu,
above all must be honest, clean, upright,
liberal, progressive. reformatory-free
from taiat and devoted to the good ol
the whole people. ,..''t..,l - 49,, - :
Now that the official result is known,
any attempt to further unsettle the bu-
sness of the country will be crime.
We do not believe the Tribune will
keep Its 6ag flying any longer, unless as
compliment to President Cleveland.
We do not believe Blaine will send
any more dispatches, unless to congrat-
ulate Gov. Cleveland on his election. =,
We do not believe that our esteemed
contemporary, the Sun, now thinks

Mr., Blaine took the news Of the CON-

The Truth About Sheridan's Ride.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:

In your paper of the 9th of December is
capital story by Frank A. Burr, reprinted from
the Philadelphia Press, called Sheridan's
Ride" have just read another account of
that ride, written by one who ought to know
something about tone P. H. Sheridan
Major General, and the two stories do not
agree.
In his report to General Rawlins, chief of
staff, Of the campaign in the Valley of the
Shenandoah. commencing August 4, 1854, he
says: after sending this note one dated at
Front Royal, Virginia, October Is, 1864, to
Major General Wright continued through
Manassas Gap and ON to Piedmont and from
thence by rail 10 Washington, arriving on the
morning of the seventeenth. At 10 O'Clock M
Ireturned by special train to Martinsburg, ar
irving on the morning of the eighteenth at
Winchester. At about o'clock on
the morning Of the 18th October, an officer on
picket at Winchester reported artillery firing
but suppoging it resulted from a reconnais-
sance which had been ordered for this morn
ing, paid no attention to it, and was uncon-
scious of the true condition of affairs until
about 9 O'Clock, when, having ridden through
the town of Winchester, the sounds Of the ar
tillery made a battle unmistakable, and on
reaching Mill Creek, one-half mile south of
Winchester, the head of the fugitives appeared
IN sight, trains and men coming TO the rear
with appalling rapidity.n
Ali the truth that there is in Mr.. Burr's ac-
count OF that ride, up to the time that Sheri-
dan left Winchester is, that he did leave Wash
ington on special train.
IT'S too bad to spoil a good story; butt don't
want any one to believe what is not true.
Sheridan's report is dated February 8, 1865.
