question the wisdom of the party with
which he is identified, and the policy which
it might favor, as it may affect the general

Blaine,s Defeat.

From the charges and counter-charges
Of fraud in the election in the State of
New York, preferred by the respective po
litical parties, one would have supposed
that there was nothing fair in the methods
and ballots cast, by either, on the 4th of
November. One good effect was the result,
however. That was that thorough in
yestigation was instituted to discover
where the frauds were perpetrated, and
notwithstanding the profusion Of the al
legations and the earnestness of the reit-
erations, a patient scrutiny of all the re-
turns has discovered nothing to sustain
the charges. Had not this course been
pursued, the country would never have
been satisfied that the vote OF New York
was not improperly cast for Cleveland. AS
1t is all can bow to the determination
reached, and Republicans, especially, To-
cate the cause of their defeat. Rev. Mr.
Burchard. with one foot in the grave and
the other in his mouth. according to CO.
temporary, did the mischief with his allit-
GRAFTON. His three RS lost to Mr.. Blaine
from 10000 to 10000 votes. and gave to
Mr.. Cleveland the electoral vote of New
York. 1t was not fraud in New York,
therefore, but stupidity, that caused Mr..
Blaines defeat.9 Phyrrus after achieving
the most splendid victories and passing
unscathed through the conflicts of battle
where spears and Sings flew thick and fast,
fell by the hand of an old woman VINO
threw a stone upon his head. Alexander
the Great, after conquering what he
thought was the habitable earth, and cry
ing for other worlds.to subdue, met death
in a drunken debauch. And Blaine, after
the most brilliant canvass. ever made be-
fore the American people, and when VIC
tory was within his grasp, had to lose the
greatest civic prize on earth by the Rum,
Romanism and Rebellion, . of Rev. DR.. Bur-
chard. Truly great events are determined
by very insignificant things sometimes.
Republicans will beEslow to believe that
the reverend gentleman speaks by inspira-
ton, unless it be from the lower regions,
nor will they accept the connection and
association of Romanism with Rum and
Rebellion in any other light than the eX-
posture of the senility and possibly lat
ent bigotry of a superannuated minister,
whose days of practical usefulness have
gone. To dovetail Romanism between two
of the most offensive expressions of the
English language was gross offence that
all expected to be resented from the mo-
ment it was given to the public. 1t was
one of those stings that could not be ar
gued or explained away. 1t touched the
conscience, the pride, the sacred relations
of denomination, and without giving
it calm reflection, the impulse to resent
predominated. 1t was natural that it
should, and while the result is not pleasant
to contemplate, it is rational to recognize
it. Mr.. Burchard IS Rum, Romanism and
Rebellion" defeated Mr. Blaine, and to it
the country will be indebted for a Demo-
cratic administration for four years from
the 4th.of March next.
