Tk Democracy ricking Figs from
Thistles.
Wa know of no task so thankless, do dot so
lntonaolr disagreeable, as that of a polltioal
leader when his party calls on htm to explain
away a defeat. In the olden times, when a
party was routed, it was the custom for the
defeatedHo maintain a taoiturn silenoe; and
however ' humiliating sooh a silenoe was, it
had the merit of not exposing the explainer
to the continual tannt which would answer
all his reasons "Yes, but yon lost for all
that But now political parties cannot
stand In silence and bear the loud crowing of
the viotors; bo that now, no sooner is an
election over than from both parties come
manifestoes proving that each ought to be
w thankful for the result. To
issue suoh addresses of oonrse requires au
amount of arithmetical ingenuity worthy of a ,
Kepler; but the Democracy have hit upon an
expedient a system of counting by which j
it is very happily arranged that th I
smaller the actual vote the more joy
ought to be felt. This system is the cheerful
but rather complicated one of percentage.
Now the doctrine of percentage is not one to
be learned in a day, for by it all the reoog
nised conclusions whl- h are ordinarily drawn
from figures are completely set at defiance and
overturned. There is not a Democratic ad
dress which does not give the lie direct to the
prinoiple that four is greater than two. Let
us take instances. The Demooratio gain in
Mains was not numerically less than the Repub.
lican, yet the percentage was muoh greatergain;
80 that Mr. Wallace very aptly said that if the
ratio of percentage in the Demooratio party in
Pennsylvania was the same as that in Maine,
It would give them 80,000 majority in tha
Keystone State. No this sort of argument
Is of a kind to corifuae the unthinking, bu1
a moment will explain it away. Suppose in
1867 the total vote of the two parties in Maine
had stood Republican, 50,000 ; Demo
oratio, 20,000. Now suppose that in
1868 the Democrats had gained 10,000
rote and the Republicans had
gained 20,000. Now the percentage of in.
crease of the Democracy would have been 50
per oent. and the percentage of the Republl-
si art a Anlw A( Vit f Kava nraa an InAvnaoa t
the majority of the latter of 10,000 additional
rotes. In other words, they gained 10 per
oent. more than we, and we gained 10,000
majority more than they. This, if stated
Without the figures, would seem like a para
dox; yet how it oooura is made plain by them.
The axiom of this wonderful system is simply
this: the smaller tha aotuai nu 1.1.1.
gain Is made the larger the percentage; so
that, if our Demooratio brethren are oorreot,
each polltioal party ought to seek to make ita
Bumerioal strength as small as possible.
We have been led to these explanatory re
marks on numeration as introductory to the
revivifying appeal of the chairman of the New
York Committee, Mr. Tilden. That geutle
man shows conclusively that had they but
had an Inorease of one-eighth of one per oeut.
more, they would have carried the election -i.
And arguing from that consolatory standpoint,
ho tells the nation that the Republicans are
driven to ''their baggage wagons." Why they
should have gone to those useful means of loco
motion, unless it was to inquire after the
safety of the coffee-pots, we are at a urn to
determine. In view of this refuge of the Re
publican party, Mr. Tilden asks, as a conun
drum, "Is this a moment for doubt as to what
you onght to do f " We can sympathize with
him. Certainly not, fellow-Detnoorats, you
must oapture the baggage wagons at onoe, and
thns effeot a complete rout. But even In the
alleged flight of onr party we see cause for
congratulation, for until then we had all our
baggage in carpet-bags we have now wagons
to carry it; and, concluding, Mr. Tilden in all
frankness tells them that the struggle
whioh they are now asked to engage
In is a Anal one. True t true I
When another Pieaidentlal eleotion comes
round we will have found that
the immortal Demooratio party will "have
folded its tents like the Arabs, and as silently
stolen away." Even the elegant Belmont re
oognises the fact that the Democraoy Is in its
death straggle. In his appeal he says, "For
the Jmal struggle, fellow-Demoorats of the
United States, let us invigorate every musole
and nerve every heart. The time Is short."
Suoh a oonfesion as this shows how despe
rate is the cause, how reckless the leaders,
and how final win u their overthrow. But
it shows also that they vu ai hard; that
they Intend through every poselbu fraU(i ia
November to accomplish their end. Let ua viw.
be watchful and courageous. It is absolutely
necessary for us not to relax our exertions
for one moment. Our foe is wily and desps
rate. If we would auooeed it must be through
our ceaseless vigilance, and to that vlgllanoe
we urge our people. True, "the time is
short," and, true again, "the struggle is
final." Crush the party of treason now, and
In the future it will never rise again nuder the
name it has dlsgraoed.
Thbeb Is nothing "white," in the Demo,
oratio sense, about that grand old hero, Majer
Oeneral George II. Thomas. Invited to par
ticipate in a loyal demonstration at Columbuj,
.Ohio, the hero of Nashville responded as
follows:
I oeiiove that Grant aou Colfax will be per
foctly acceptable to (heonnntry. I have never
doubted a moment their election, and Urantfa
administration will be ponnlar and nnaiefnl. .
"Qao. II. TnoM n.",
General Thomas had evidently heard the
news from Pennsylvania when he thus wrote.
But he has written in the same strain often
before, and has never shown the slightest dis
position to pollute the glorious record made
during the war for the Union, by rushing into
the embraces of "the brave, energetlo, and
elf-sacrifloing men" who assailed the life o'
the nation, after the fashion of the garrulous
Rosecrans. Boys in Blue who remember the
warlike deeds of Thomas should not negleot
to note the stand he has taken in times of
peace. Above all, they should not permit
General Thomas' confident prediction to be
gainsaid by apathy, now that the enemy are
in full rout before them.
Wanted, tt King.
The Spanish Government is now in a transition
state, and It is essential for the paoe and
prosperity of that oountry that the present
Provisional Junta should be suooeeded by
something more stable and permanent' as soon
as possible. However patriotio and Binaere
the revolutionary leaders may be, It is not
likely that some of them, at least, will be able
to resist the temptations for personal aggrau
disement whioh are now offered by the un
settled state of affairs; and if the despotism of
Isabella II is to be suooeeded by anything
better than anarchy and revolutionary contests
between rival chiefs, suoh as have distraotei
Mexioo for many years, it is essential that a
reorganization shall be effected at as early a
day as possible. A repnbllo ia admitted on all
sides to be impracticable at the present tlm,
and a strong but liberal constitutional mon
archy is undoubtedly what is needed.
But who is to asoend the vaoant throne of
the Bourbons f This is the question of the
hour in Europe, and it appears to be not
very easy of solution. There are plenty of
little German princes who are always ready to
step into any vaoanoies that mty offer in the
kingly line. But a great country like Spain
needs something better than the average of
little German princes, and the supply of first
class monarchical candidates is somewhat
limited. Perhaps the best thing that the
Spanish people could do would be to invite
the King of Portugal to assume the reins of
government, and thus effeot a union of the
two countries in one grand Iberian monarchy.
Dom Luis is a young man of nnimpeaohable
charaoter, liberal and intelligent, and person
ally he is the most promising of any of the
candidates that have yet been named. The
objection in his case is that his wife is a
daughter of King Viotor Emanuel and
sister of the Prinoe3S Clo tilde, wife of Prince
Napoleon; and It is feared that he would,
on this acoount, be too much under the
influence of Napoleonio ideas. The Emperor
of France favors him, probably for the reason
we have named, and also bsoause he is the
prinoipal rival of the Duke de Mjntpsusler,
the son of Louis Philippe.
In faot, there are serious objections to all
the candidates that have yet appeared, and it
is doubtful if the Spaniards will able to find
a new monarch among the European powers
u in a-. .u.vif uuuvj-umonaoie. now,
would it not be a good move to invite some
smart Yankee to come over and king it for
them awhile on trial, with the prospeot of re
taining it permanently provided he gave
satisfaction f We know a good many ardent
advocates of republicanism who would jump
at the chanoe; and we would guarantee that an
average American politician would make a bet
ter king than any little German prinoe now
in the business. There is Frank P. Blair, for
instance. The people of the United States do
not think him half good enough for their
Vice-President. After the eleotion in Novem
ber he will be on hand, with abun
dant leisure, waiting for anything
that may turn up; and as the Spaniards oannot
be very nioe after what fhey have submitted
to in the way of monarohs for a good many
years past, we think that Blair would an t
them very well, provided that they are not
punotilions about accepting our leavings.
There would be no entangling allianoes in
Blair's case; and with him Spain would be
able to make a fresh start with a fair ohanoe
of success. We are confident that Blair would
accept of the sitnation if it were offered to
him, notwithstanding his present position as
a champion of Demooratio principles; and if
the people of Spain should take up with this
idea of ours, as we have very little doubt but
they will, Blair will owe us a debt or grati
tude for having found such a snug berth for
bim after his defeat at the polls next month,
and we will also claim some consideration for
our generosity and disinterestedness towards
a polltioal opponent. We don't want Blair
for Vice-President, but we advooate him for
King of Spain.
Trying the Same Game.
Elskwuber we publish an article from the New
York Sun of to-day, showing the outrageous
frauds in tha matter of naturalization which
are being perpetrated by the Demooraoy of
New York city. They rejoice in half a soore
of Judicial Sharswoods in . that oity, eaoh of
them four times as zealous as our own.
Their naturalization mills are kept running
dy nd night, but for the moBt part tipstaves
are dlBpe. wUn Tt) Tammany Natu
ralization Commute had perfeoted a very
convenient arrangement with the Demooratio
courts, whereby certificates, duly signed and
sealed, were furnished in quantities to suit,
and filled up with the names of the persons
to whom they were ultimately given for
voting purposes, without troubling them to
rush in orowds to the court-room. But yen.
terday the parties Implicated in this scan
dalous fraud were brought to grief. Knowing
that there would be no show of justioe iu the
partisan courts of the city, United States
Marshal Murray, under whose auspices the af-
I falrhasbeen worked up, conduotedhis prisoners
, before a United States Commissioner, by whom
they were committed to answer before the
Ftderal Courts the charge of violating a law
wtioh defines as felony the making of false,
fraudulent, or forged naturalization papers, or
tie felling or uttering of the same. Uouest
nun and patriots may almost despair of the
future, if suoh nefarloua praotioes as these
ate to go unpnnished. We hope the oourts of
tils State, especially the Supreme Court,
whose honor and dignity have been so fla
giantly outraged, will take prompt and deoi
pive aotlon in the oases of this charaoter which
will be brought before them. Naturalization
is already a farce, and it gives promise of
Ix coming the grossest imposition. The action
of Congress in the premises is greatly needed,
and all true and loyal citizens should redouble
tbeir vigilanoe to preserve or, rather, to re
Btore the purity of the elective franchise.
Seymour's Hugle.
Tun World the Demooratio shet by that
name, we mean is convulsed with joy be
cause Seymour is about to blow his own truin
ptt in the most lusty fashion.
"One blaHt upon l is bugle bora
Is worth ten ihounnd men,"
ciiestbe World, and then kicks its rhetorical
krela high lots the air at the prospect of the
grand entertainment to which it invites "the
Demooratio masses." The World regards
Seymour's bugle blasts as "the one thing
needful to insure a great Demooratio tri
umph." Moreover, the World is rendered
facetious by exoess of Joy, for it speaks of
Pennsylvania as "that n-ble State," omlttlog
to mention the precise characteristics whioW
entitle our old Commonwealth to such a
dignified epithet. Aud Seymour the
Busier is oinlng down among the Demo
cratic masses of the noble State, as
Boon as he has blown a blast at Buffalo aud
cent it ringing up the chain of lakes. What
the Bugler expects to gain by visiting our
noble State we oannot divine, but perhaps he
entertains an idea somewhat akin to that
whioh the World is nursing, that "his speeohes
in Pennsylvania will be worth to the cause a
great deal more than the few thousand votes
whioh separate us" Seymour, Blair, and the
World "from victory in that 8tate." This
little joke about "the few thousand votes" is
something to make a note of. It is one of the
rarest we have lately seen. It is savory of wit
and replete with sarcasm. By its perpetration
the World steps into the old shoes which have
been rusting and mildewing since Vanity Fair
gave up the journalietio ghost.
Yet, for all this, we join hands with the
World in rejoicing that Seymour has goue
into the bugle business. Bialr is a bugler,
and always has been; but his trumpetings
have grown a little hoarse and monotonous of
late, and have ceased to edify either friend or
foe. So Seymour's first blast is destined to
be quite as ttailicg as would be a blast by an
archangel there are arohangels below, as
well as abuve and when his bugle gets fairly
in tune, and the welkin sets its ears agog to
oatoh its every sound, the dolorous melody
will afford a treat both rare and melanoholy,
which we trust will not become monotonouj
before the grand anthem of peaoe rises
throughout the length and kau or me
ind, n sue on of November, and drowns its
last faint note.
So, in the name of the Demooiatio masses
of our noble State, we tender Horatio and his
bugle a hearty welcome. In truth, we do not
mind Btretching our hospitality to its utmost
tension by inviting him to settle down in our
midst. We are pre-eminently a musioal com
munity, and we have Been watermelons whioh
grew upon our own noble soil. Between the
bugle and the- melons Horatio can revel in
right royal style, to his heart's oontent, aud
for all time to come.
But perhaps it will be well to notify this
gay troubadour, in advance, that but one tune
is in vogue in this latitude. On the 13th of
October it was played, with variations, all
along the line as far as Omaha. If Mr. Say
mour desires to give "Tramp t Tramp 1" for
the benefit of a few families who have not
heard it they are most numerous in the
Fourth ward of this city we shall doubly
rt-joice. If, however, as we strongly suspeot,
he is bent upon playing "Dixie" and the
"Bonny-Blue Flag," we most respeotfully
and regretfully announce to him that it will
be wind's labor lost. lie may oreate a breeze by
his blowing, but the obnoxious medleys will
fall like mere puffs of air upon the iron hills
of the noble Keystone State. There will be no
eoho worthy of notice, no response that will
lift up his heart from the Slough of Despond.
The true men of the State are too numerous
by "a few thousand;" they know their
strength, for they have just tested it; and
they will make it felt agnin, although Sey
mour may blow upon his bugle until he is
black in the face, aud his rotund cheeks do
buret from the fulness of wind wherewith they
are distended.
The Democracy at Work.
"An old Democrat from the interior," writing
to IheAge in a spirit of oondolenoe over the
result of the late eleotion, and in hope o
better results in November, says, "We are
again at work as actively as ever. Our first
Btep will be to send circulars to our aotive
friends in all the townships, and follow it up
by sending persons from town to town to tee
that tha work is properly done." This veteran
Democrat, "who has worked . earnestly
in the good cause since the
days of Jackson, "evidently understands how
Demooratio victories are to be seoured, if at all.
We had some samples of the Demooratio style
of woiking, in this oity, and between illegal
and forged naturalization papers, a number of
the Republican caulldstes were cheated out o(
their election; and, but for the timely exposure
f the frauds, aud the oheck whioh was put
upon the Demooratio "work," 4the major!,
ties for tue party of treason and
fraud would Lave been three times
what they now are. In the "Interior" the
old Jaoksonian Demoorat," who writes so hope
fully to the Age, could doubtless tell strange
tales in whioh ooffee-pots would largely figure,
and that he will "work" for a vlotory in Nov
ember we may be assured. The Age pru
dently refrains from giving the resldenoe of
their correspondent if he has a looal hablta-
tion and we can only caution the Republicans
of the interior of the State to be on the watoh
for suoh fellows night and day. And in Phila
delphia, too, it behooves us not to relax our
vigilance for a moment. The Demooracy are
desperate, their fingers itoh to be plunged
into the public treasury, and they will oer-
tainly leave no stone unturned to oompasi the
defeat of Grant and Colfax next month by
fair means or foul. Contested elections are
troublesome and unsatisfactory, and it is bet
ter to make the victory sure and unmistakable
at the polls in the first plaoe. That
the victory will be ours is as oer
tain as that the sun shines, bat every
fraudulent natnralization paper spotted and
every coffee-pot Demoorat stopped makes the
Republican majority larger, more impressive,
and more demoralizing to the Copperheads and
Rebels. Republican voters, be on your guard,
and see that the Democrats do as little "work"
as possible between now and the Presidential
election.
"White" Hoys in Din.
Thb New York World lately oonsoled itself for
the little disoomfitnre sustained on Tuesday of
last week, by publishing a list of ninety-eight
"Democratic generals." Among these we find
the name of Gen. Darius N. Couoh, who ran for
Governor of Massachusetts on the Demooratio
ticket two or three years ago, but is now an
open and avowed supporter of Grant and Col
fax; and also that of General A. S. Williams,
who was onoe the Demooratio candi
date for Governor of Miohlgan, but
now heartily endorses the Republican
nominees. The remainder of the list
is made up of suoh heroes as Charles P.
Stone, of Fort Lafayette memory; Lovell
II. Rousseau, whose most heroio aohievement
was the caning of Congressman Grinnell, of
Iowa, on the steps of the Capitol; John A.
McClernand, who was thrown out of service
by Grant for the utter incompetency displayed
by him in the operations around Vioksburg;
Theodore Runyon, the New Jersey militiaman,
who ran for Governor, but never smelt
powder save at Bull Run, if he did even
there; Robert Patterson, a venerable old gen
tleman, who is a bright ornament to the social
and business ciroles of Philadelphia, but haa
not attempted muoh in the warlike line of
late; W. S. Rosecrans, the mighty man with a
quill, who was last seen, with heart in hand,
inquiring the way from the White Sulphur
Springs to Mexioo; and Don Carlos Buell,
whose dressing-gown was the most elaborate
and elegant ever seen in the vioinity of
Bowling Green, Kentuoky. In addition
to these there are a half-dozen
fighters whose opinions have never been
given to the publio; George B. MoClellan, who
is on the fence; W. S. Uanoook, Gordon
Granger, Heury W. Slooum, and J. B. Stead
man, who fell off the fenoe on the wrong side,
and a score or so of Colonels who were bre
vetted Brigadiers months after the war had
closed.
