The Democracy UndOubt-
edly Triumphant.

Knowing the widespread interest felt
in the recent election and its result, by
all classes of people, we devote consid-
erable of our space this week to mat
ters pertaining thereto, and to press
comments upon its various phases.
There is no longer the least shadow
Of doubt as to the grand triumph of
the Democracy.
The official count of the vote Of New
York by the County Boards of Cans
vassers, 30 far as it has progressed, has
not materially altered Cleveland's plu-
rality, which is about 1900 in the
State, and it is generally conceded that
there is no likelihood of this result be-
ing altered. We give below table
showing the result by States, and also
a table giving the political complexion
Of the next Congress.

The Effects of the Election.

New York Commercial Bulletin.
1t may be accepted as reasonably
certain that the Democratic candidates
for President and Vice President are
elected.
The contest has been attended with
such unusual excitemen: on both sides
that men Of business are perhaps not
yet prepared to weigh calmly the re.
suits. After a few days of delibera.
ton, however, it will be generally
conceded that the coming change of
administration can have little immedi-
ate bearing upon commercial interests.
There is much room for diversity of
view as to how far the new situation
may change the future course of party
politics, 1t seems highly probable
that the effect will be to make both
parties more sensitive to great issues
now occupying the public mind, but
which the leaders of neither party
have yet shown the ability or the cour-
age to handle,
So far, however, as respects legisla>
ton, the change can have little effect.
The Democratic majority in the House
of Representatives will be reduced, but
it will still remain very large. The
composition of the Senate is not likely
to be so changed as to deprive the Re-
publicans of their present safe working
majority. The veto authority alone is
changed but those who may regret
that have the assurance that their pref
erences will be protected by the Senate.
No legislation will be possible under
the new situation that was not equally
so under the existing state of things,
and there is, therefore, nothing in the
change to alarm either one side in polls
tics or the other. The tariff issue,
about which some are so much alarm
ed and Others so hopeful, will have,
perhaps, less chance for consideration
under the new representation than it is
now. The new Democratic Represen.
tatives have been elected without
pledges or even professions on that is,
sue; and it appears to be accepted as

The Albany Journal.

The Albany On. W Evening Jour
nal, the leading Republican paper of
the State, and a warm supporter of
Mr.. Blaine in the recent canvass, con-
tanned the following some days ago !:
"There seems to be no longer a
doubt that Gov. Cleveland has been
elected President. Every county has
sent in its full vote. A careful veri6-
cation of the results assures Gov.
Cleveland plurality of about 1000
in the State.
In this State the vote will not vary
200 on either side Of these figures.
New York gives Cleveland enough
votes to elect him.
"The Journal has devoted all of its
energies toward securing another result,
and it now reluctantly states that the
election has been decided differently
from its desire, because it believes that
the prompt recognition of the will of
the majority is essential to the mainte-
nance and preservation of American
institutions"

so careful a journalist as Mr.. Dana
would not advise his friends to part
with their money if not assured that
the returns showing Cleveland's elec,
ton are conclusive. He says:
"There is no question of Cleveland's
election, and the bets must be settled
in accordance with the cold facts, and
not the hot desires of those who put up
their money. 1t is no longer of any
use to watch bulletin boards or to wait
on Aaitering hopes. The agony is over,
and now let everybody go to work to
make up for the time lost to business
and spent in parading, cheering and
studying the returns.
"Bear your losses like men, and
pocket your profits without undue ex-
ultation."
1t then philosophically accepts the
situation in double,leaded leader, as
follows:
"The people have determined that
Grover Cleveland shall be President
Of the United States. They have so
decided, not because they like Cleve>
land, but because they belive he will
be safer than Blaine. They have done
it resolutely, deliberately, knowing all
about both men. x = The people have
voted, and their voting is to be re-
spected.
"While we, who have done our duty
in earnest endeavors to prevent such a
decision as has finally been rendered,
cannot be expected to cherish any san.
guine expectations Of good to result
from the installation of the elected
PRESIDENT, yet we submit to the peo-

land must have fair chance to show
what he can do. Though by u very
narrow plurality, he is yet legally and
indisputably elected. His acts, both
of commission and omission, that have
been so ardently condemned by his op-
ponents and SO steadily justified by his
friends, have now been condoned and
wiped off the record by this cleo.

A Cool and Conscientious Opponent

Nashville American.
The New York Sun, which stead
fastly opposed the election Of Cleve-
land from the hour of his nomination
down to the time when his election
was clearly apparent by the Suns ac-
curate and thorough system of collect
ing the returns from every county and
precinct in New York State, and cor.
roborated by the returns in the hands
Of the State officers, thus candidly and
frankly comedies the election of Cleve.
land in its issue Of Saturday:
"We are convinced that the sun has
given the returns of the election with
substantial accuracy, and that the most
thorough examination of the subject,
whether official or nonoficial, will only
verify the correctness of our conclusion.
"But in matter Of such Importance,
it is proper that every legal means
should be taken to verify the figures,
to correct errors, to make the additions
accurate, and to determine that the re.
suit is in reality just as it appears upon
the face of the papers. But we are
sure that, when all this is done, the
fact will stand just as the Sun has al.
ready reported.
"Grover Cleveland carries the State
of New York by plurality of about
one thousand votes in poll approach
ing a million and a quarter"

The Verdict has been Sustained.

Nashville American.
The frmness of the Democratic pa
pers in New York, and the high stand
taken by such anti, Cleveland papers as
the Sun and Albany Journal in main
tanning the right, have evidently mol
li6ed the rebellious spirit of the Office
holders and office.hunters.
The Herald, the Times, the World,
the Argus, first looked into the returns
for themselves, and seeing that Cleve-
land and Hendricks had carried the
State, and that the Blaine Committee
meant to undo, if possible, what had
been done, they have simply done
what good government requires shall
be done in such an emergency. They
have in plain and direct language no.
tilted the conspirators that they will
not be allowed under any pretense to
change the verdict Of the people.
Leading Republican papers have sus
tanned them and the business men Of
New York, without regard to party,
have spoken out. All this has had a
good effect.
The vote of New York is recorded
and the State Board will in few days
certify the result. This is well under
stood now, and the people of New
York will not submit to any alteration
except the correction of errors on the
face of the returns. The conspirators
are beginning to see this, and it is
manifestily having good effect. We
regard the job as entirely too big fol

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--The ex-

wise policy on the part OF the Demo
Gratis to keep silent on that question at
least, for the present. What the dis
position of the new President on meas
ures of that character may be is there
fore an immaterial question, for no
such legislation is likely to be submit>
ted to him. Until, therefore, the COM
plexion of Congress is materially
changed by future elections, the cur
rent of legislation is likely to flow in its
present channels.
The principal immediate changes to
accrue from the election will be those
of administration. And here the
promises of Gov. Cleveland, as also his
official antecedents, afford reasonable
ground for hope. Those to whom a
change of officials may appear objec-
tionable may fairly expect that the
Presidents dependence on Republicans
for his election will command selec,
tion from that party as we'll as from
his own, for the more important offices,
if not also for Cabinet positions.
Thus it will be seen that the imme.
diate practical changes to follow the
change in party ascendency do not at
all correspond in Importance to the in
tense interest with which the election
has been attended. From all this,
nothing is to be apprehended immedi-
ately affecting the course of business or
In any way unsetting the present posi-
ton Of commercial affairs. The nation
has changed its leaders, but without
changing its policy; and We shall at
least have the satisfaction of discover
ing by actual experiment whether the
party so long excluded from power can
do any better for the country than the
one that may too possibly have become
rusty and non.progressive by quarter
of century of incumbency. Sober
men will not doubt that the country is
still safe, though under a new captain,
and confidence will resume its wonted
steadiness. 1t is not, however, to be
thence inferred that the people have
exaggerated the great significance of
the struggle. The underlying cause of
the public excitement has been an in
stinctive premonition that we are ap>
preaching a crisis in politics Of pro-
found Importance. Both parties DIM
ly forsee that new and difficult ques>
tions will demand solution in the fu-
ture, and both are ambitious to hold
the reins when the new era of affairs
sets in. The change Of administration
will undoubtedly remove many of the
obstacles to this new drift that have
attended the steady pursuit of a fixed
policy for nearly quarter of a acentury;
and, for this reason, the election Of
Gov. Cleveland brings us nearer to a
new departure in legislation than we
might otherwise have been. In this
sense, the result Of the election is a
great national gam; but this advantage
can be turned tJsValuable account only
by citizens maintaining thoroughness
and independence Of examination of
public questions that will make them
the masters Of the political leaders, in
stead of being, as hitherto, their plant
tools.
