isy which the State gave President Clsve-
land almost invisible. The return Of voters
whom Mr.. Blaine's esEdida,y sienatsd did
not make good to the Republican party
the loss this year of voters whom that can
didacy attracted. In fact the gain does
not seem to have equslled ons-third or one
fourth of the loss. The stay At-home
voters decided the matter; the vote was
light, but the Republicans who did not take
the trouble to vote outnumbered the Dem
ocrats A very much smaller vote than was
cast for Mr.. Blaine would have suficed
70 bury Mr.. Hill, but the Republicans were
not around to cast such q vote, But the
Republican phslanx is neither routed nor
broken. As significant gain in Oneida
shows, it is more heartily united than it has
been at any other time fer many years;
apd, though beaten on the State ticker, 1t
holds both brahches of the State Legisls-
tue By strong msjorities. The severe
storm in the interior, which made the vote
lighter, did not cost the Republicans any
seats in the Legislature. The plain truth
seems to be that the Republican voters did
not expect to succeed this year against the
concentration Of power by the Admlnistra-
,ion 10 save ITSELF and therefore did not
make the efforts necessary to suceess.

The Sun says to-day: The entire
Democratic State ticket was elected yea.
ttrdsy. Governor Hills plurality appear
ed, at the time this page Of the San went
10 orsss to be at least $4,000. The foolish
uretsnse of the MugWnmp organs that
ths success Of the Democrats in
this election would be inimicsl to Mr..
Cleveland, was spurped by the Democratic
voters OF the State. They we're too sensible
to be deceived by such nonsense. They
voted, as the Presid, Mt himself voted. for
the man who will hold up Mr.. Clevelands
hands in bis own State and strengthen the
influence of his administration.
The most conclusive answer to the uR.
foU nded attack upon Governor Hill, aud
the only answer worth making to them,
was furnished By his friends and neigh
bers 10 his Own county. II is not large
county. but it gave David B Hill vote OF
| 500 10 excess Of that which 1t gave to
President Cleveland.
This elections sgsin proves that the
Democrats have loLg memories and sharp
blsdes which they do not hesitate to use

They had their reckoning with Mr.. Dav-
epport yesterday snd the iceberg
melted before their coming wrath.
There was one interesting fact re-
veaIqd by the returns While New York
City gave Governor Hill q plurality con-
siSersbly in excess Of that Of Mr.. C'eve-
lsad last year, and while Brooklyn gave a
plursliiy far smaller than it gave TO Clsve'
land. the country districts throughout the
State showed large gains for the Demo

The victory Is glorious one. The
voters of the Empire State have shown
thew cannot be misled ard duPed by dudes,
cranks and Doodle worshipers. They have
shown that an honest Governor IS not to
be cried down By detraetors. They have
proved that political iceOergs and dodgers
are played out.
