Why 00,000 Citizens Did Not Vote.
Tiik city of Philadelphia contains a popula
tion of nearly 000,000 souls. The proportion
of the total number of residents who were
liable to the draft was one-fifth. As none
but voters were subjected, we may safoly
infer that one-fltth of the population are en
titled to the right of suffrage ; Jor those under
twenty-one who were exposed to conscrip
tion are certainly counterbalanced by those
whose age, exceeding forty-five, made them
exempt. Taking this as the proportion, wo
would have In Philadelphia soma 103,003
voters. In this inference we think we are
within bounds. One Representatve was ap
portioned to every 127,000 In 1S00, and we
generally have some 22,000 votes po.Iod in
each district, which is a trifle less than one
fifth of the residents. Having, then,
100,000 entitled to the right of ballot inn, we
And that In the most exciting contest ever
carried on in our municipality, and the one
In which the largest aggregate vote ever
polled was deposited, that there were but
100,093 ballots cast. There were 00,003 who
were authorized by law to exercise the privi
lege, and yet declined for certain reasons to
do so.
The Inquiry into the cause which deprives
the State of the voice of one-third of her
citizens is one in which the public weal is
really involved, and the proper remedy for
the evil cannot but infuse new life Into our
lK)dy politic. What, then, is the reason that
this large proportion declined to come to the
polls? r We think that the great cause U
tound in the fact that, as they had no voice
in the selection of the candidates, they felt
little or no interest in the success of either
party, and therefore declined to take the
trouble to cast a ballot when they cared not
which won.
In the choice of nominees for the parties
the great body of the people are not consulted :
Uiey have no voice. They are led like
"damb driven cattle," and it has long been
the custom ot the party leaders to lay the
whip on the shoulders of all who do not
tamely support all those selected tor them.
There never was an oligarchy more despotic,
and at the same time more intrinsically mean,
than that which, under the cloak of Demo
cracy, compelled millions of American citi
zens to accept the decrees of a score of men,
at the risk of being ruled out of the party.
The voters are not to-day consulted in the
selection of candidates. We are told on every
side ot parties of roughs swaying the primary
elections, and driving gentlemen away, and
this outrage is perpetrated by both parties.
And it is because littl ' interest is felt by the
respectable part of the community in the
triumph of either ring, that sixty thousand
citizens of Philadelphia decline to attend the
polls.
The time for the defeat of these autocratic
demagogues has come. The thinking portion
of the country are very tired and disgusted
with the machinery of party ; and especially is
this true in our city. The day has gone by
foiever when it does a man an injury to
scratch his ticket. It need be no longer con
cealed. It can be done openly, and all the
wrath of the wire-puller defied. It was done
on Tuesday by tens of thousands of our citi
zens, and we venture to say that there was
hardly an intelligent man of either party who
did not in at least one instance break party
discipline.
This lact shows that the trammels of parti
sanship have been broken, and that the whip
has lost its terror. When a bad man is nomi
nated by either party for any local office, it is
the duty of every patriotic citizen to oppose
him with all his strength. When a good man
U nominated, whether by the Democracy or
the Republican party, it is the duty of every
patriotic citizen to lend him all the aid in his
power. Unless there is some national Issue
involved, we should and shall support a man
because of his personal fitness tor the post to
which he aspires. This year we have the elec
tion of a United States Senator, and on that
account many gentlemen who feared to en
danger the success of the party supported men
who are utterly unfitted for the post of legis
lators, and elected them by a reduced majority.
Next year the case will be different. The
Legislature will be of State and not of na
tional Importance, and it will bo the duty of
every citizen to oppose the corrupt, the vul
gar, and incompetent, and support the able,
the honest, and the gentlemanly candidates.
That such is the case In our local affair8
has been already decided by our people.
Many ran far behind their ticket, while In
some cases so great was the dislike to certain
nominees, tliat we sacrificed districts because
of the obstinacy of the Convention in select
ing them. This was the case with State
Senator, and, in one case, so far as a Legisla
tive seat was concerned. It Is becaust of the
corruption, the chicanery, and the docelt
wbich permeate party politics, that so many
of the most valued of our citizens turn away
in disgust, and decline even to vore. Now,
this condition of affairs must be remedied.
We must have the system of making nomina
tions purified. And we give fair warning to
the dominant party in local politics that they
cannot count on electing any candidate next
year unless he Is the best man nominated. It
will depend on the personal character of the
nominee, and we heartily rejoice that the day
ha come when the endorsement of a Con
vention is worthless unless the man endorsed
be a good citizen. When this reformation is
fully accomplished, sixty thousand voters will
no longer stay away from the polls.
Some of the Lessons ot the Recent Cam
pnlgn,
A pabty can afford to be defeated in a good
cause. Had the Republicans lost the victory
in the late campaign, they could have consolod
themselves with the reflect'on that they had
contended for right principles and Just mea
sures, and that they had appealed to the nobler
and better instincts of the people for success.
No such consideration can mitigate the
bitterness of the cup of deleat which Is now
pressed to the lips of our opponents. The
manner in which they conducted the can
vass was totally unworthy of the great Issues
involved in the contest. Discarding sound
argument and considerations addressed to
the reason and better judgment of the people,
they seemed to rely almost wholly upon
appeals to thej brutality of the lowest and
worst elements of the population. Their
chief dependence was upon the prejudice
supposed to exist aaralnst the negro. This
prejudice was nourished and appealed to in
such a way as must have filled intelligent and
fair-minded men of all parties with disgust
One has now but to look at the placards
pasted all over the city, to see to what dis
graceful extremities this lowest form of elec
tioneering was carried. How shameless, too,
was the falsehood in regard to the bounties,
and how'persistently was it adhered to despite
its demonstrated falsity !
A party which resorts to such measures as
these for success, and then is defeated,
loses everything. It has nothing to fall back
upon . Its self-respect even is gone. But a
victory achieved over such an array of fana
ticism and brutal prejudice, and appeals to
the lower and baser elements of society, is
worth something. It gives one a new confi
dence in the intelligence and virtue of the
people, and shows that the masses, after all,
are on too high a plane of civilization to be
reached by such Influences.
Besides, these appeals to brutality begin to
lose their power, even with those to whom
they are addressed. The cry of "nigger
equality" can never again be as effective as it
was in this campaign. Like a scarecrow, it
will soon cease to frighten even the silliest of
birds. The people find that it is a mere
electioneering trick that it amounts to no
thing. They see that, even though the
editor and orator, Frederick Douglass, did
walk in a procession with other gentlemen,
still the earth continues to revolve on its
axis as usual, and the Schuylkill and Dela
ware still flow down to the sea. It Is a great
thing to have broken the force of this igno
rant and unreasoning terror. It Is hard to
frighten a man the second time over some
thing that he finds to be harmless. Oar
enemies have "played out" on the negro
question. They have displayed the "raw
head and bloody bones" until they excite
naught but derision.
The people have been educated by the con
test through which we have just passed.
Constitutional questions affecting the vital
character of the Government have never
before been so generally and ably discussed.
And never before has so true an idea of re
publican freedom been held up before the
masses. We have not only won a victory,
but we have won it on higher and nobler
grounds than in the past. The people are
being prepared gradually and surely for the
full triumph and realization of the essential
principles ot true democracy in our Govern
ment. Towards such a glorious consumma
tion let us labor with a firmer faith and more
tireless zeal.
The Downfall ot the Democracy.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa
have settled the November elections. New
York, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Illinois, and Missouri will sweep along with
the popular current . There is no turning it
back. Official patronage, the throwing of a
postmaster here or a tax collector there,
merely makes a ripple on the surface, but
dees not change the course or diminish the
volume of the stream. The Democratic
party, as a political organization, is doomed.
It failed the people in the hour of national
peril and struggle, and they will not trust it
again.
Besides, it has placed itself athwart the
progress of the age, and must go down. It is
illiberal, reactionary, narrow, aristocratic . It
looks backward instead of forward. It fails
to comprehend the spirit of the times. It be
longs to a bygone era to times of darkness
and despotism and not to the erowiug light
and more perfect freedom of to-day. Its old
men are dying off, and it has no attractions
for the young. Its days are numbered, its
purpose accomplished, its mission ended. It
bas now nothing to do but to get itself off out
ot 6ieht as speedily as possible. The rites of
Bepulture are all that remain to It. The peo
ple wl'l eee that they are duly performed.
The Sunday Car Question.
In the Supreme Court, sitting In equity, this
morning, Chief Justice Strong delivered an
opinion upon this important question. Tbe
Court grants the prayer for an Injunction ot
Sparhawk, et al., against the Union Passen
ger Railway Company, to prevent them from
runring their cars on Sunday. This is, of
course, not surprising. Judge Strong has
decided upon the statutory law In the case,
but the decision of the Judge is carefully
worded, bo as not to interlere with the autho
rity of the United States in any way.
So the cars will continue to run on Sun
day, unless tbe friends of the sanctity of the
Sabbath can prevail upon a very wicked man,
the Hon, A. Williams Randall. Postmaster-
General of the United States, to withdraw his
patronago from the companies running cars
on the Sabbath.
