No moral or political perjury attaches to the

They have seen the same methods which dis
graced the last few weeks of the canvass in 1880

THE NEW YORK CANVAF 3

The returns from the election in the State
OF New York show what e magnificent can
vass was made by the Republican party. At
the outset Mr.. Blaine was met with the adj
verse majority of W, 900 in the State. which,
while 1t did not represent the real strength of
the DemocI7iic party, was yet Wis inertia, the
overcoming of which seemed hopeless task
Tor any man. His opponent was, at the time,
the chief executive of that State by the over
whelming majority named, fortified with all
the prestige of his office. AS if this were not
enough, the cities of New York and Brooklyn
were the head center of the independent, or
mugwump movement, controlling, as its
friends maintained, mot less than 1000 Re
publican votes" Accepting this estimate as
even approximately true, Cleveland started
into the contest with quarter of million
plurality in his favor in total vote of 1,2O0,-
600. Undismayed by these vast odds piled up
before him, nor by the additional elements of
encouragement in the shape Of Prohibition
ticket in the field, whose support must large
ly come from the Republican party,
and the partial alienation and I'M
disguised GOODNESS on the part of
a certain element Of the party, Mr.. Blaine
went resolutely into the field, and fought his
way almost single-handed until victory was
all but assured without the formality of count
| ing. What has become of the prestige Cleve-
land had but two years agoY Where are the
$4,000 Republican votes that would be given
to the Democratic partyf Mr.. Blaine's can
vass is without parallel, and if at last he be
defeated, it will be only because unfairly de-
prived Of the necessary electoral votes stolen
from the Republican party by the solid South
and by open and notorious purchase in Indiana
and New Jersey if not in New York.
Ii blame for bad management could be laid
anywhere, it cannot be put upon Mr. Blaine.
His restless energy and splendid address won
admirers wherever he went From begin
ming to end though he delivered
hundreds of speeches in as many
localities divided by distance and
diversity of interests, he made no
mistakes, nor gave utterance to single SEN
tence that needed explanation, or could be
used against him by the opposition. The case
is probably without parallel in political can
vases. His generalship was absolutely per-
feet, and he has made record as canvasser
and public speaker that fairly matches his
great career as statesman and legislator The
transcendent genius and push of this great
representative American has left an impress
on the Nations history that will not be oblit-
Grated. In the world of politics and of litera-
ture he stood towering above those about him
1t is hard to say whether he be greater as a
politician or historian-he is great character
as either, and undoubtedly enjoys the esteem
and confidence of all fair-minded men not
blinded by the bitterest partisan prejudice.

The game OF buster and bravado on the
part Of the Democracy will not do them any
good. If the figures returned under the law
show plurality for Cleveland, however small
that will end the matter, and no one will
stand more firmly for the law than Republic
ans. But if the legal returns give the plural
ity for Blaine, if it be but one, he will be the
President. and no one knows that better than
the cOwardly Democrats for it is only a cow
ard who would talk of overthrowing the law
by force. The Republican party and the gov
eminent will not yield an inch to Democratic
threats and buster. We regard the ballot as
the supreme arbiter but until the verdict of
the polls is clearly and legally determined,
the Republican party, conscious of its recti-
tude, will not cease TO upho' popular rights
and exercise the v ch the occasion
demands.
This firm, unassailabl> 3, g., is consistent
with calmness and deliberaylon. Every Re-
publican should do his utmost to maintain or
der and repress evil passions. We trust no
word or act of Democratic lawlessness will
provoke Republicans into any retort. The
Republican party is emphatically the party of
order. and the strongest elements in the coun-
try are yet on our side

THE NAVY QUESTION.

Consi' cradle money has been expended by
the United States, and the taunt has been
tho. we have not single seaworthy vessel in
Zeturn. The same is quite as true of other
countries, except that they have expended a
hundredfold as much money in the vain en-
deavor to get impregnable vessels that still
possessed buoyancy. England and Italy have
expended hundreds of millions in vessels that
are to-day absolutely worthless, and still the
experimenting goes on, and the former coun-
try at this time has under construction eleven
inen-of-war that will cost not less that $780,
100000, besides an additlo nal sum of So, 000,
900 for ornaments and fittings. The problem
of how to build modern war vessels that can
withstand modern ordnance, is one that has
never been ana probably never may be solved.
Almost annually there are discoveries in the
science of cannon building that compel
heavier plating on ships of war That the
limit of weight and thickness of hulls must
sometime be reached must be conceded. That
this limit is now very nearly approachedis like
wise clear. One thing. at least, will be gained
by the United States in not having navy of
huge proportions. We can profit by the ex-
pertinent of European powers without the
expense to which they are subjected.

THE Charleston News and Courier, in
felicitating itself over the "honest' election
of Cleveland, calls it the victory of intelli
gence over ignorance because ''the ballot of
the lowly negro counts for as much in deter
mining political consequences as the deliber-
ate vote of Bayard or a Schurz." The News
is laboring under temporary alteration of
mind. When it RECEIVERS its normal clearness
it will, perhaps, be ready to ''tell the truth,
which is that the ballot of the lowly negro in
the solid South does not count for as much as
that of another man. for the simple reason that
he is not permitted to deposit it in the ballot
box, or if he is it is not counted at all. Per
haps this injustice might be remedied under
''reform" administration-andp perhaps not.

suggestions, which We have no Hcubt
will be acted upon in time by the
Democratic administration. 1t says
when the Democratic party GENES
into power it can do much to Strength
en- itself with the people by setting on
foot and vigorously supporting a
movement to lengthen the presiden
tial term and to change the date of
the election to season of the gear
when it will not seriously interfere
with the business of the country as it
now does. Once in about six years
is often enough to be subjected to- She
strain that has been borne this year,
and the first Tuesday after the second
Monday in December would be quite
early enough for the election to take
place. i
"Then the national committee oflthe |
two parties would do good thing by
agreeing that their national nomihat.

before the first Tuesday in November.

advantage, that, being held at sea

period of comparative repose, in spite
of the politicians. The voter ceald
sit at his Preside and quietly think

we hope to see them carried into
effect, and have no doubt they will
be.
