TIE IrGJsL1TUGE OF 1888.

The next Assembly will contain many OF the
most capable and trustworthy members OF the
last House, while the new Legislators, as II rule,
are men from whom good and faithful service
NAV be expected. This is especially true on
the Republican, the majority side Our political
friends, who will be held responsible for the
character and significance of the session, are
equal to the task. 1t is confidently expected
that they will command the general approval.
The coming Legislature is charged with the
performance of duties of the highest public
importance. In addition to the exactlng routine
work n United States Senator is to be chosen,
the postponed Adirondack problem is to be
solved, the Niagara Falls reservation project
is to be revived, on the report of the Commits
sioners. and the series of reform measures for
the benefit of this misgoverned metropolis,
which passed last winter, is to be sensibly REIN
forced 1t is certain to be a busy session and
il ought to be one from which the State will
largely profit.
The Republican Assemblymen will find no
difficulty in effecting a strong organization.
Halt dozen or more names could readily be
mentioned which would answer admirably for
Speaker 1t seems to be generally conceded
that Mr. Chickering is to be his own successor
at the Clerks desk. He filed the position last
winter to the satisfaction of all the members.
The Senate that holds over is Republican
with good working majority.

unNnR 10 nH0M HONOR Is DUE.

1t is always easy, after thing is done, for the
spectators to look back and say how 1t might
have been better done. Nothing is cheaper than
that sort of criticism. But the fact remains that
if there had been no DR.. Burchard. everybody
would to-day have been saying what splendid
management during the late campaign the lie"
nubicans had One week before the election
Blaine and Logan had sure and easy majority
in this State. A run of worse luck than that
last week brought has rarely been seen. The
Dclmonico dinner alenated many the Rum
and Romanism turned many thousands; the
sun shone for the Democratic business men,
while the rain poured on the Republicans tn,
Republican night display was impaired In the
same way, while the Democrats had clear s'iiea
and dry pavcmcnts for theirs and fnall, we

For many years THE tribune has urged.
in season and ont of season, wide
distribution of Republican newspapers in the
early stages of the campaign and before the
campaign opens, as the very best means of
swelling Republican majorities. But that is
mainly work for the people themselves, and
for their local organizations. What the
National and State Committees undertook
to do here they did well, and the
untoward occurrences of the last week, which
snatched victory from their grasp, were beyond
their control. Nothing could be more unreas-
enable than some of the current talk about the
two Committees, and especially about Mr.
Jones, Mr.. Elkins and Mr.. Warren. Republi-
cans owe them gratitude and honor.

THE ROCK AMID THE WAVES.

The contest is over The canvass of the re-
turns has been thorough, careful and honest,
and leaves no room for doubt as to the result.
MANY errors in the earlier statements were
found, but also many others to balance them
in part. BY less than 1,2OO votes
in 100000, Mr.. Blaine is de-
feated in this State, and therefore
in the country. The Republicans, who from the
first have asked nothing but fair count will
submit without hesitation to result which they
keenly regret, not only because of their attach
ment to their great leader, but because they be-
lieve that the defeat of their principles and aims
will prove hurtful to the country
If this result represented the free decision of
the whole people. it would command greater
respect. Everybody knows that it does not;
that in some States no fair and free vote
was possible. The Republicans know
that they have been defeated by
suppression of the right of suffrage at the
South, and by dishonest misrepresentation i'll
four Northern States. But eternal justice
reigns, and wrong cannot triumph for long
The people who have been deceived Will learn,
as some Of them have learned already,
that the Republican policy was the only one
which could give safety, justice and prosperity.
1t has been beaten, not by party but by All
opposition Elements which have no bond OF
union, no common idea or aim, have prevailed
But they offer no policy whatever, and can
agree upon none. United only in opposition.
they have begun to war with each other al
ready, before the official vote has been declared.
Against the known and tried Republican pol
icy, about which no one was deceived, dissent
in some States has united with false pietcnce
of ms sent in others; dissent on one point only
has met in momcnary union with dissent
ON all points, and the mistaken
ldea that OLD questions were settled has turned
lhe scale. The Democrats will soon teach the
country whether the old questions are settled
or not
A defeat Of the Republican policy by any
other policy would have meant change of
public opinion. and perhaps lasting
transfer Of power but this defeat
meana only another battle, Whenever the
heterogeneous eouglomeialion Of political rub
biHh nov called The Democratic pniiy shall pro

NATIONALITY IN POLITICS.

One Of the pleasing results of the late election
is the proof furnished that no one man or party
can control the votes of any Nationality. Here
totore the Irish vote has been claimed as solid
for the Democratic party, no matter who Its
nominee for President might be. But the late
election has shown that claim to be no Ion ger
well founded This division in the Irish vote,
due to Mr. Blaines candidacy, is gratifying fea-
ture of the election and cannot fail to be of great
public good. In this State there are 125, 900
foreign-born Irish voters. Holding together
as a nationality they have been able to domi
nate the Democratic party in the cities, which
has often brought to the front demagogues and
tricksters who assumed to speak for them and
control their political action. A division of
this vote Oh questions affecting the public wei
fare, and not ON race prejudice, will be great
public gain.
What is true of the Irish applies equally well
TO the Germans. In the late canvass they were
claimed solidly for the Democratic ticket be-
cause Carl Schurz counted on them as his espe-
cial property. On that assumption he was en-
ployed by the Democratic Committee. But the
result shows that he is practically without in
fuence among his countrymen In Ohio, where
his hardest work was DONE and where there
are 10 600 forcgn-born German voters alone.
there was almost revolution in favor of Mr.
Blaine. Hamilton County, which has a larger
German vote than any other county in that
State, gave Blaine plurality of 1922, or 200
more than il gave Garfield. II was the same
way in Cleveland, Dayton and in other cities
having large German populations.
Chicago gave one of the largest Republican
majorlti : recorded, although Carter Harrison
united with Schulz in wooing the Germans with
sophistles about personal liberty In Wis
cousin. where there ia n larger proportion of
German VOTES than in any other State in the

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Probably the operations of the past week
cannot be taken as a fair test OF the tendency
of business under new political conditions.
During most of the week there has been
enough uncertainty as to the result to prevent
a full development of the influences, favorable
or unfavorable. which that result may set in
operation. Hence it is need III, first, to OBJ
serve what has been the actual course of the
markets, and of business i'll the leading
branches.
The stock market has been uncer tain. Weak
at first, with days following of considerable
strength, though the activity and advance
were both confined to few stocks il had
sharp decline on Saturday. 1t would be easy
to frame several political explanations of these
phenomena; perhaps the simplest is the best
that neither interest was prepared to go
far in any movement until all doubt as
To the political result had been removed
and until there had been time for certain
manmuvrcs for position. The continuing war
of rates which, Notwithstanding the resolution
of Trunk Line managers to terminate the con-
test. really Increased IA the week went on, and
the reports of largely diminished earnings on
some important roads, were undoubtedly I'M
portart in their influence.

4 Study IN HTUdN CREDTLITY.

There are few things better calculated TO
make and keep men modest and self-distrustful
than the swarming evidences of human crcdu-
lity and glllibility which both history and cur
rent events furnish. And there are few stronger
illustrations of this unconquerable credulity
than the case of the Tchborne Claimant, who
lust "a the American people were most absorbed
in the Presidential campaign, was released from
prison on ticket Of-leave. The facts about
Arthur orion, or Castro, are sufficiently well
known No more impudcnt or fatuous attempt
at personation was ever made. This gross,
coarse, ignorant butcher and colonial bush-thef,
undertook to palm himself of as Sir Roger
Tichbornc, who was unquestionably drowned
by the wreck of the brig Bella in 1891. Orton
or Castro was tried twice, was twice convicted
of perjury. and was sentenced to fourteen years
Imprisonment. The charge of Chief Justice
Cockburn in the second trial was most mas
terly and exhaustive presentation ana analysis
of the evidence. The trial lasted one hundred
and eight days II was cOnclusivcly proved
that the so-callcd Claimant rcscmbcd SIR Roger
in nothing physically or mentally; that he know
nothing of Sir Rogers private life which he
could not easily have ascrrtancd from others ;
that he was wholly ignorant on the most import
ant circumstances in Sir Rogers life In short.
that he was an impostor whose audncty wns

the contrary they have never ceased to work

lamentlng him as a martyr.
