OV 10 TICTORY !!

Rnnublicans Of New York and Brooklyn, OF
the great territory above the Harlem and OF
o,.orv CITY town and hamlet in the land are
well entitled to rejoice in the prospect OF
clorions victory tomorrow. Everywhere APP
near the indications Of triumph close AT
hand The last gun of the Democratic cam
paign recoed. The parade which was TO sig
nifv to the whole country that the Democrats
of New-YOrl were enthusiastic and invlnciDie
was a miserable failure. The leaders had an
nounced that from forty-tve to seventy thou
sand men would be in line, and their alter
noon papers on Saturday were too confident
or too docile to make any lower estimate, but
published as a fact the rosy predictions OF the
Headquarters staff Not seventy thousand
nor forty five thousand. nor twenty thousand
men marched past Mr. Cleveland but possibly
ten thousand all told, men and boys Noluh-
teers and hirelngS. 1t was the sorry and dis
piriting climax of a campaign of plumbers, dis
appointments and false pretences. 1t meant
Differentiation ard dependency, and 1t has
horne fruit Of it's own kind everywhere within
the Democratic lines.
The Republicans closed their campaign in
New-York with superb demonstration OF con-
tidence and determined purpose in and around
the Cooper Union. That great and enthusi-
astic gathering was a conclusive embodiment
of the spirit which animatcs the whole party
1t signifed the ardor and power which nave
been accommodating throughout the campaign,
and which will eliminate at the polls TO-
morrow 1t was in perfect harmony with the
closing scenes of the contest all over the land.
No omen of Republican disaster is visible In
any quarter. From every State which has
ever afforded hope of Republican Electors
come assurances that the hope is about to be
fulfilled. TIE fight has been won.
1t has been won, but it may possibly be lest
to-day and tomorrow by the political crime
of overconfidence. The cheering events OF
the last week are useful for encouragement
and inspiration, but they can be more than
wasted. They can be made the means of abb
soute loss. and they can be turned to great
advantage in confirming the Uavering in WIN
ming recruits. in firing the zeal Of the stead
fast rank and file, in putting an mconqueraole
spirit into the whole party. NO single Repuo-
lican voter has right to interpret them as Il
permission TO stay at home, or to attend 70
any other business tomorrow, at least until
he has made his own vote sure. Nor is that
the full measure OF d Republican voters OBJ
legation. lie can serve the party and the
country by stimulating in others the will and
purpose by which he is controlled, and no SER
vice is more useful and honorable than this.
There is always the possibility Of a reverse
until the polls have Closed, and at some points
the vote is not safe until it has been counted.
The duty imposed on officers Of election Is
oroot and arduous one 1t can be discharged
by no one else, but every honest citizen can
make its performance surer and more effective
by his own vigilance and determination.
There is ample occasion for confdence-for
the kind of confidence which exhilarates in
vigogates, consodates and makes the attack
