New York Herald, 12th.l


Almost a daily visitor to the Repub-
lican headquarters in the Fifth Ave
nue. Hotel is Mr.. Thurlow Weed, the
veteran journalist and politician, and
among the partyleaders and their aids
who throng that room not one is more
confident than he of Republican sue
cess in this State next month, and
throughout. the whole country in the
fall of 1880. To a Herald reporter
who engaged his attention for the bet
ter part of an hour yesterday Mr..
Weed, with an apparent freedom, ex-
pressed himself on the men and meas
ures of the day, In describing the
condition of politics in this State, and
particularly in this city, he said he
could only call it "muddle," and of
him who had done more than any one
else to disturb the political waters he
spoke in the following terms:


Mr.. Kelly is a man of courage,
and he IS certainly making vigorous
fight Morever, he is a man of abili-
ty, though not in the wire pulling
way-that is, regard him as a bull
dog, politically speaking, rather than
a well trained hound. And his better
qualities have won him many admirers.
even among those who differ from his
views. In attacking Tilden over Rob
inson's shoulders-the only way in
which he could be reached-he has
struck him a fatal blow. When he
attended the Democratic convention
he Of course knew his own nomina-
tion to be out of the question. but he
hoped that Chief Justice Church would
be the man, Being disappointed, he
deliberately elected Cornell, for his
bolt can have no other result. Even
in this city | think it impossible that
he can secure majority of the Dem
ocratic vete"


Turning from the campaign in this
State to the broader battle field of
national politics Mr.. Weed gave the
reporter the benefit of his views
thereon.


In regard to the Presidential NOM
nations, he said, there are two facts
well established. One is that Tilden
will not be a powerful candidate. If
Cornell is elected (as he certainly will
be), Tilden would fail to get even the
votes OF his own State and if Robin
son were reelected Gas he certainly
will not be), his (Tilden's) chances in
the Democratic convention would not
be materially improved. The fact is,

The news from Ohio, as received
through the morning journals, indi-
Gates the defeat Of the Democracy.
The mere fact that Ewing was beaten
for the governorship is of itself of
small importance, as his crazy views on
the soft-money hobby were lugged
into the canyass and made load too
heavy for any party to carry. The
feature. however, most to be regretted
is the prospect that Mr.. Thurman is
to be retired from the United States
senate next spring to give place to a
Republican. The Democracy can
poorly afford to lose statesman so able
and useful as Senator Thurman, a


eader among leaders, but it is doubt
less fated that he must retire. Even
this defeat, however, can be willingly
borne by the party if it will lead to an
elimination of such hobbies as the
soft.money nonsense from future con
tests. The German vote throughout
Ohio was secured almost unanimously
to the Republicans through their dis
like to this financial feature incorpo-
rated In the Democratic policy. 1t is
to be hoped that the Ohio result will
teach the party useful and a pro6ta-
BILE lesson.

The lack of love after marriage, q writer
says, is due to q lack of friendship before.
Friendship is the soil upon which the plant
loves to grow, the silken cord that binds
when other ties are severed. Treat your
wife, then, As your best friend. Is she not
50 To, her belongs all that is best in ma
ture. The brightest thoughts, the sweetest
words and the tenderest love are hers by
right. Feed her hungry heart with the food
that belongs to it and you need never fear
for the honor OF your name or the happiness
Of your home. The contract Of marriage
bears obligation for both parties, and the
love Of the husband is often lost through the
wife's ignorance of him. What special grace
was it that charmed your husband most be-
fore marriage? You ought to know. Was
il musical ability? Was it your bright,
CHEEKY laugh, or sparkling eyes Was it
your sound practical common sense? What
ever it was, use it as much after marriage
as before. That which charmed him first
will charm him ever; and mans love is
shirt perpetually needing new buttons. He
is Just as queer a compound as you are,
with just as many whims and vagaries. He
ID selfish, unreasonable, egotistical animal,
and you must make a man of him, and you
cannot do it with the baldheaded end Of a
broom. He Is to be worn with the same
arts aud witcheries with which you won
him, if you wear him at all. You make his
home, and his happiness depends as much on
you as on him. Swift says: "The reason
why so few marriages are happy is because
ladies' spend their time making nets, not in


making cages Is that the truth, ladies', or
. libel? The cornerstone Of love is eslect.
A mans sweetheart is a gem that furnishes
with handling, and too heavy an ornament
TO wear perpetually around the neck. De-
pend not no much for your husbands love ON

tellectuality of the mind "Virtue is a

THE Southern mind has not yet attained
unto the idea of liberation. 1t is kind and
generous so far as the common affairs of
life are concerned; in this respect the peer
of any mind elsewhere; but it mas not yet
advanced unto that grand sphere Of tolera-
tion which is an essential feature of mature
and mutually forbearing citizenship. All
through the Abolition campaign, which
commenced years before the war, our South
ern brethren were warned of the many evils
of slavery. This lack of liberation is one
of them, and this is what now 80 fires the
Southern brain to dominate over others and
causes it to think that it is grander to act
the part Of q plantation overseer toward lis
fellow men than to serve with peers and
compatriots. With toleration triumphant

crate any Infringement upon the original
design of reconstruction, all of the Southern
States would now he in the enjoyment of
republican forms Of government and the bull
do2ers' rule would never have been asserted.
As it is the acceptance by wcak-kneed Re-
publicans in the North of Bourbon bogus
Home Rule rs the genuine article has
given the blacks of the South abundant
cause not only TO leave the homes of their
birth, but to curse the false friends and re-
creant leaders who made them citizens and
then deserted them to the inevitable fate of
political persecution or assassination at the
hands of the pro-slnvery whites.

How INCONSISTENT in the Bourbon ele-
ment to bring up such thing as that old
English precedent and to lay such stress
upon it. We are not sorry that they have
done so; indeed, we are glad, for it
forces them to fight from a standpoint of
liberty that they really have little respect
for. How must their English sympathizers
ieel-their Bourbon brothers in the old
country-to see them forced to take sides
against the King and rake up this old story
and give the Republicans Of the country q
chance to refresh their memory and talk
over this old matter, which had not little
to do with establishing on the shores Of
America government which the Bourbon
element has ever hated with so intense a
hate. Even though there is no sense in the
manner in which they would use this idea,
still there is some satisfaction in having the
Bourbon element among us rake up such
bits of history. We wish that they would
continue at it, for in this they most GER
tainly labor more wisely than they think.

The rabid talk of the Democracy about
the Republican party being in antagonism
to the Declaration of Independence would
be amusing if it were not so stupidity i'm
pudent. That great charter of liberty pro-
vided as fundamental principle of gov
ernment that the purity of the ballot-box
must be respected, and that free and equal
suffrage must be maintained. This princi-
pie is constantly and persistently violated
by the Democratic bull.dozers of the South
as well as by the Democratic repeaters and
corruptionists Of the North, and the "bay-
"onets at the polls Of which the Democrats
prate so much, have been used except to
enforce it by preventing the Opposition from
outraging the most sacred rights of man
hood and free citizenship. The truth is that
the use ofbayonets is as urgently demanded

tion as it was to assert them during the
