have been broken, and from the condition of
chAttels they have been elevated TO citizen
ship and clothed with the full dignity of
manhood; the rebellion has been put down;
the seeding states brought back into the
Union, reconstructed and placed on an equal
footing with their sister states; the war debt
has been reduced one half and the currency
of the country made as good as gold. In
stead of the disruption and destruction Of
this Nation as hoped and predicted by the
governments of Europe, 1t is to-day the most
prosperous and fourishing country on the
face of the earth, and all this has been the
result of twenty-four years of republican
rule.
Certainly the democratic party will resume
and under conditions that present strong
contrast to the dark days of '61. Should the
country fail TO continue to advance in pros
peritx wealth and happiness under demo-
cratic control, the people will justly hold
that party responsible for such failure. All
will unite in the hope that our National pro-
gress may continue uninterrupted under the
new order of things, but, in view of the fact
that all the great measures that have con-
duced to the welfare of the country under
republican rule, have been adopted and car
ried into effect against and in spite of demo
cratic opposition, great number of the
people will regard the results likely to grow
out of change of administration as very
problemstical and of doubtful utility.

The republicans have lost the presidency
after having it for twenty-four years, never
theiess they can extract some crumbs of COM
fort from the results of the recent election.
They will retain control of the senate for the
next two years at lesst, they have largely re-
duced the democratic majority in the House,
the state of Michigan has retired its "princi-
Tai servant" Begole, and the fourth district
has placed itself where it properly belongs,
in the republican column, by permitting Mr..
Yaple to remain at home after the 4th day
of March next, all of which is very crafty

The voice of the people as expressed at
the polls, has decided that Grover Cleveland
and Thomas A. Hendricks are to be tho next
president and vice president of the United
States, and all good citizens accept the re-
salt, if not with cheerfulness, at least with
becoming resignation. From our stand
point, entertaining as we do an earnest and
abiding conviction that the policy of the
democratic party is not such as is best cal
calsted TO advance the interest and pros
perity of our country, we can but regard
their election as being public misfortune.
That the solid South should again become
the dominating political element IN the
councils of the nation, az it was previous to
the rebellion, is, in our judgment, a matter
of grave concern, and certainly it is an ex-
pertinent to say the least, that large ma
jority of ths people OF the North were not
anxious 10 see tried.

When the democratic party surrendered
the control of this Nation to the republicans
oH the 4th day of March, 1861, the treasury
WAS bankrupt; the credit of tho government
utterly destroyed; four millions OF slaves
were held in bondage; democratic states had
passed ordinances of secession; a rebellion
had been insugurated that cost the country
more than 5000 O00, 900 of dollars, and 3oO.-
90 lives, and made moro than O million
widows and orphans; treason permeated the
army and navy; government arsenals had
been seized and robbed; government arms
and munitions of war had been turned to
rebels in arms, and the nations of the old
world were oongratulating themselves that
the experiment of free government in Amer
lea had proved a failure, and were hoping
praying and expecting that the United States
would be blotted from the map of the
world.
After the lapse of twenty four years the
people have voted for restoration TO power
of the same party that they then voted out

Cleveland not only failed to carry his
own ward, his own city and his own coun-
ty, but he also failed to secure a majority
in his own state. While he had a plural
ity over Blaine of 1,078, there was q ma
jority against him in the state of 41,053,
including the votes for Butler and st.
John. Cleveland carried only ii counties
of his own state, while Blaine carried 45
counties; and of the IA counties which
Cleveland carried he only had a clear ma
iority in nine; and among the counties
where he failed to obtain majority was
Albany, the county where he lives as gov
ernor. He owes his election to the city
