FRANK ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

we are not In the habit OF minclng mat

s. loudly as we know how, aud when
besten, or think we are. we az frankly
acknowledge Il; From indications now
We have no hope 20 offer our Republican
friends. We think Cleveland IL elected,
though the vote Is so close in some quar-.
ters that turn OF the hand might change
the result. But in this slight change we
take no comfort and ask no one TO depend
upon II, As things look now, we are OF
the opinion that we must submit TO a
Democratic Administration. We are sorry
TO say so but we cannot ignore the facts
in the case and think otherwise.

deadlock between the two branches OF Con-
gress, in which measures that should sue

will hurt; but a radical change IN the rev.

ness. Is scarcely possible.
Nevertheless, the uncertainty growing

some extent demoralize business and pre-
vent the recovery which should follow
presidential campaign, and would have
followed the election OF Blaine. II matters

can fairly hope for.
BLAINH's LOOK AHEAD.
Portland (Me.l Eastern Argus, Democrstlc.l
The Republicans have not got rid OF
Blaine. In his buslling life he has played
many parts. from lover to leading man, and
he Is now about to essay the r5te OF irtyr.
lie has not the slightest expectation OF
being counted in this wear. but in 1888 he
will grab the Republican party by the
tbrOat-if there be any throat to grab-and
demand yindicatiOG."
GOODBYE, MR.. BLAINE.
From the Memphis Avianche.I
Mr.. Blaine il now a private citizen. We
are sorry 10 observe an incOnsiderItr ex-
change or two forgetting that "the war ~
over" With the good and the bad In his
career. Mr.. Blaine has been reicgsted to
private life. The lesson has been taught
and has sunk deep into the Ameri AN
thought. "Condcmned has been writ
ten, and there. for all the public good
there is in ever referring 10 it again, II may
well rest.
WIZ THEY ARE so ANXIOUS.
From tie Albany August
The Blaine leaders, for whom the peni-
Tertiary will yawn when Grover Cleveland
begins to open the books in Washington
which hold the record Of their crimes, arc
uncOmmOnly anxious TO steal the pres-
dency.
HEY WILL STOP VERY SOON.
Iron Tie Wellington PostI
II has been understood on al sides for the
Fast eight years that the Republican party
would not quietly accept defeat in presi-
Dental election, and would not 90 out OF
power except upon absolute compulsion,
either by physical force or fear OF fatal con-
sequences 10 traitorOls leaders.
Tho rras idantfai theft ~ gTc frat tAiantol
this impression on the public mind. Open,
insolent Boosting Of the success OF that
crime was followed by the purchase OF the
presidency in 1880, aud that purchase was
celebrated by a banquet, at which the Re-
publican leaders glOried in the corruption
they had wallOwed through.
Thus il came. as we have said. TO lie the
general understanding that merely voting
the party out OF power would not suffice to
loosen its grip.
This is why the country has placed no
confidence at all in the pfetence OF the
Blaine management that they have carried
New York. Such claim tits in exactly
with the general impression. The Blaine
party was not expected TO acquiesce in the
election il it went against that side. They
were expected to lie, to make some show Of
resistance, and to disturb the country with
false alarms.
But these men will weld. They will
stop their clamor very soon. They begin
10 detect danger ahead, and it is real dam
ger.

Boston Globe.
Thanks to the honesty OF several OF the
largest and most influential Republican pa
pers in this country, brazen scheme for
deceiying the people in regard to the result
in New York has become public.
Chairman Jones. insti ssted BY advices
from Maine. sent out on Thursday TO all
the western Republican papers private dis
patches asking them to continue 10 claim
the election OF Blaine regardless OF the fact
that the figures unmistakably elected Cleve-
land.
The Chicago Inter OCEAN, the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, and others. refused
point blank to join in the conspiracy, and
boldly published the facts.
And that accounts for the mild tone now
adopted by the Tribune, Elkins. Jones, and
the rest.
The people believe that DIR. Cleveland
has bees elected, and. irrespective Of party,
they desire 10 see him seated. No one
wants another &c.
