Comments Of the London Papers.
LONDON, November 4.-The Morning Ne,cS in
leader devoted to the American political contest
says: "The republicans have much in their favor
They are in power; they have governed the repub-
lie for % years; they settled the slavery question
forever, and they have most heroic recOlections in
the northern and western states associated with
their name. But the republican party has done its
work and has fallen into vices which long ascen-
dency produces in all political parties. 1t has be-
come more anxious to retain Office than to perform
any great national service 1t has bad candidate
IL MIR. Blaine, who comes forward as the represeI-
tative OF the party machine. A democratic victory
no longer means the return Of southern men to
monopoly OF power The old sectional jealousies
ale cold beyond the power OF warming to new life.
The success OF Mr. Cleveland will reopen NO closed
controversies. 1t will simply mean a change In
the man at the helm. The old issues between re-
publicans and democrats have lost their force
New issues are slowly replacing them. There are
many indications that an important turning point
in the democratic politics OF the Union has been
reached"
The Telegraph likewise finds subject for COM
ment on the American election. 1t greatly rejoiceS
that 'whoever is successful no cloud in the horizon
threatens to Overshadow the existing amtty OF
America and England Englishmen can afford to
await the result with entire confidence. Whether
Mr. Blaine or Mr. Cleveland shall be elected there
will be no dissolution OF the continuity OF harmony
and good will happily subslsttng between Great
Britain and her majestic eldest daughter"
