The Election,

Belittle it as the Democratic papers may,
and lie about it as independent" @ papers
like the New York Times are doing, there is
no Disgusting the fact that the result of the
state election held on Tuesday was substan-
tisl and satisfactory Republican victory. No
level headed Republican who has looked at
things as they are and taken everything into
account has claimed at any time during the
canvass that a majority of more than 20, 600
votes was to be expected. When one of the
editors of the Springfield Republican was in
Brattleboro three weeks ago on a tour of DO
htical observation he was told by active lead
ing Republicans that majority of %. 900
would be accepted by Vermont Republicans
as triumph TO be satisfied wth-as an indi-
cation that there was no serious detection from
the party ranks.
This estimate was based on the considera
ton that the circumstances four years ago.
when the Republican majority was %. 600.
were exceptional, and that no such circum-
stances existed this year. Then, for various
reasons, many Of them purely local ones. the
whole state grew warm in the contest the
blood of the people was "up," and a full
vote was the inevitable outcome. This year
things have taken very much their own course
and it was the most natural thing in the
world that 5000 Republicans should stay at
home-not from disafection OF luke-warm
ness, but simply because they had not been
walked up to feel personal interest and duty
IN the election. And this is precisely what
happened. The most cursory study of the
returns shows that it is not because Republi.
cans have deserted their party that the ma
lority Is less than in 1880 but because full
vote was not polled.
Another thing TO be taken into the account
Is the fact that the Republican canvass has
been allowed practically to take care of it,
self. From the state committee down through
the county and town committees, no syste.
matte effort at close organization and effec.
tive work has been made. The Democracy.
on the contrary have been on the alert
Documents have been distributed bv the
thousand, quiet but effective canvass was
made, good speakers were brought from
abroad, and their nominee for governor TOOK
the stump in his own behalf, while the Re-
publicans allowed his misstatements and sps.
oious hali-truths to go unanswered. Most
important of all, when election day came the
Democrats saw to it that their men were at
the polls We doubt if they could have
brought out thousand additional voters in
the whole state.
Vermont Republicans are satisfied with
their victory, and if it is correctly interpret
cd IN the country at large it viii be accepted

1t Will be remembered that the proprietors
OF the indianapolis Sentinel have been repre-
scented as eager to go to trial in the libel suit
brought against them by Mr. Blaine. In.
scrupulous Democratic papers have insnuat-
ed that the delay in the case was caused by
M Blaine. The fact is that the Sentinel
used up all the time allowed by law for the
defence, and appeared only Just in time to
save default. When the demurrer was final
ly made, it proved TO be in substance that
some other Blaine might have been meant,
that there was no imputation in the charge of
betrayal, that there was nothing TO show that
Mr.. Blaine had been damaged by the article.
and that certain elements in the article re-
hected obloquy not on Mr.. Blaine but on
some one else. The course Of the Sentinel
Is weak and cowardly and is universally con-
demned by the people of its locality.
In the United States court at indianapolis
on Wednesday Judge Woods overruled the
sentinels demurrer, and Mr.. Blaine's coun.
sci waived the fOrmality Of ruling the de.
fence to answer. The Senunel's counsel now
say that they cannot be ready for trial before
November on account of the difficulty of get
ting witnesses The purpose evidently is to
stave the trial of till after the national cleo
ton, when they probably hope Mr.. Blaine
will let his suit fall TO the ground.

The Massachusetts Republicans held a
state convention in fremont Temple, Bos-
ton, Wednesday, and renominated Gov. Rob
inson and mis- associates upon the state ticket
by reclamation. The gathering was large,
spirited ana enthusiastic Even the Boston
Herald, the most Jealous of independent
Cleveland organs, admits that, "To Judge
from the speeches made and the expressions
of confidence heard on all sides among the del
egates, the feeling of depression and discon-
tent so much talked about has been very
much exaggerated. On the contrary, there
seems to be firm determination on all sides
TO close ranks and fight the good fight all
along the line" The Democrats held state
convention at Worcester on the same day and
nominated Judge William c. Endicott of Sa.
lem for governor and James S. GrinneI of
Greenfield for Acknowledgements. The con-
vention was a decorous sssemblage under
control of the better element of the party.

Mr. Blaine and his supporters utterly deny
the charges Of political dishonesty, and ma
ny excellent judges Of evidence, like George
F. Hoar aud Edwin d Mead, after thorough
examination, pronounce these charges not
sustained Gov. Cleveland and his friends.
on th' contrary, admit that be has been gull
~ of the most scandalous immoraty-im-
morality which units him not only for the
presidency, but for admission into respecta-
BILE society. The fitness Of Mr. Blaine, there
fore is an open question. Those who think
him dishonest will not aud ought not 10 vote
for him. But thu unftness of Mr.. Cleveland
is no longer an open question. No one can
eontrovert it. In voting for Blaine men will
not lndorse political dishonesty; but in vot-
ing for Cleveland, men will condone admit
ted personal immortality, and will affirm that
crimes against women do not count in politi-
cal life.

Democratic Gato.,

The favorite dodge of the local Democracy
is to talk about Democratic gains and pub
hcan losses. In point of fact, except in some
isolated local instances, there are no Demo-
cratic gains to talk about it. The Democratic
loss in the state as a whole will reach 1900
votes, in spite of the fact that the party made
the most active and searching canvass which
1t has ever attempted. While therefore, the
Republican loss will possibly reach 1900 7otes.
1t cannot be claimed that the Democrats have
gained anything by Republican defections,
and their loss will probably prove to be at
least one-third that Of the Repubicans.

A contemplate dodge practiced by the Dem
ocracy this year WAS the preparation and dis
tribution of a state and county Republican
ticket complete and correct in every respect
except that the name Of Rsdington was sub
stituted for that of Pingree Hundreds of
these fraudulent tickets were sent by mail to
individual voters in this town and county. and
they were freely distributed on election day
1t was device well calculated TO deceive vot-
ers, but so far as we can discover from On ex-
animation of the returns it accomplished
nothing for the Democracy in this county
There is good reason to believe that this was
deliberate plan to steai R ellington votes orr
ginated and pushed al over the state by the
Democratic state committee. Such tactics
are not practiced by honorable men, and they
are little better than the system of ballot box
stutfing at the South.
