The Election.

The Election.
A fierce and rancorous contest for
national supremacy has c,me to an
end in an hour and its evil humors
and moods are passing away like the
low-hanging clouds that accompany
. summer thunderstorm. The cam
paign was stubborn and bitter and
marked by features which we could
wish might never again cl,trude their
repulsive presence in similar CAM
paign; but they are rapidly disap-
pearing. and the land r.sts in the
tranquil repose Of mighty people
who are able, after q great national
struggle, to quietly accept and con-
form to the decision.
No other country OH the globe
could present such spectacle as ours
presented Tuesday, of ten million
freemen choosing the cllief ruler of
a land so vide between the oceans
that the sun shone on tho proceedings
on one side hours after tho day had
closed and left the other side in dark
ness.
The protracted uncertainty which
followed the close of the election had
the double effect Of partially benumb-
ing the triumph of the victors snd
tempering the defeat Of thu vanquish-
ed; and, perhaps, it is we'll. A great
Missourian said on an occasion like
this: Moderation is tile ornament
Of victory'-and it is not seemly
that countrymen should ,induly exult
over one another.
The fact that the country should
pass through the crisis tf this elec-
ton without q disturbance. and the
defeated party submit quietly to the
result is cause for admiration and
congratulation; for, in this case,
the defeated party is one that has
governed the country for twenty
three years and held si,, successive
natioaal administrations. .aesday's
work is revolution II aeeful, in
deed, but still a revolution. It is the
overthrow of long dominant party
and the restoration OF its long pro-
scribed antagonist. involving change
of administration and Of policy.
Fortunately, it comes at {. time when
no constitutional questions are in dis
|pute and many of the issue, between
the two parties are largely shorn of
their significance. The victors, when
they come into control, will find
many things to leave as they find
them. A reduction in the taxes on
the people will be made, but this win
be, not shock, but relief. The
public finance and banking system
will probably be let alone, and in
many respects the government will
move along in the usual way.
There will be changes, assuredly,
for the people demand il, but they
will be wholly in the direction Of a
gentler and more benign exercise Of
the federal authority-no more mar
shals and supervisors to maintain the
peace which no one distlrbs; no
more intermeddling with the local af-
fairs of self-govenling communities ;
no more exertion ef the federal pow
ler to favor classes and sections by
the oppression of other CLASSES and
sections.
The Republican party has certainly
accomplished much in the period Of
its domination; but it had ceased to
be a power for good, and become po-
tent for evil. It had grown corrupt,
arrogant and intolerant-and this is
why the people overthrew it.-St
Louis Republican.
