Charles L. Coon, who was permitted

quest OF his superior, Mr.. Manning.
He had no reason for indulging in a
low and eontemptible party sheer by
saying that he recognized the fact that

party ut least, is not yet sufficiently
advanced to encourage or approve the
retention of subordinate officers foE
reasons other than political" Mr.

The quiet, unpretentious and digni-
fled funeral Of General Mcclellan was
in harmony with his life and charac-
ter. No man of our time had won to
himself a higher measure of personal
respect and esteem or had inspired
such measure OF affectionate devo-
ton among all who had come in con-
tact with him, and there was no limit
to the manifestations of honor to his
memory, whether military or civic,
that would have been lavished in New
York had any such demonstration
been invited. But it was known to
be in accordance with General Nc
Clellan's own wishes and with the
taste and feelings of his family that
there Should be no parde at his funer-
nj. His body was quietly borne to
church, accompanied by his immedi-
ate friends and by some Of the, fore
most Of his old comrades in arms, and
after the simple religious services were
over it was as quietly borne to its last
resting place, followed by the sincere
and sympathetic sorrow OF millions OF
people, but with none of the trappings
Of an artificial mourning.
The contrast thus presented to the
recent funeral of another distinguish
ed soldier in the same city is full Of
significance. Loved and esteemed as
few commanders have ever been, as
soldier, scholar, statesman and gem
man, McClellan's whole life had been
one OF modest and dignified devotion
to the loftiest duty, and any preten-
tious display at his funeral would have
been as discordant with his character
as with the deep and sincere sorrow
which the loss Of such man has in.
spired. a.yfa
The vulgar parade, the artificial APP.
peals to sympathy, the public display

try has but recently been wearied
could have no place at the grave o.
Mcclellan. And there will be no loud
disputation about his monument
His name is secured in history and

ful countrymen. HIS has left nothing
for us to conceal or excuse, nothing
that the fullest light will not set forth
to his honor, and even IN The simplici
ty Of his funeral he has left us an ex

The Result.

The elections in New York and Vir-
ginia have resulted in complete and
overwhelming victories for Democra-
cy. In Virginia, Malone, aided by
Logan, Sherman and Foraker has met
with disastrous defeat, and Fitzhugh
Lee is Governor with something near
$4,000 majority, and the legislature is
Democratic by two-thirds vote on
Joint ballot, insuring the election Of a
Democrat instead of Malone. In
New York Gov. Hill is reelected by a
handsome majority, although the
Mugwump organs, the Times, Herald
EVening Post, Puckand HdTper's Week
lA supported Davenport, The mean
ing Of all this is that the Democrats
have come to stay.
