- Wlien the people unite the bosses suffer. _ m The bosses were badly brokcnup ïuesdny. _ The democratie victory is the greatest in the history of the union. If the democrats are at all wise tliey will elect a president in 1884. Eobeson, the robber, will no longer disgrace the halls of eongress. What the demócrata now want to do ia to keep up the agitation against the boasee for tho next two years. Ababt Pasha has cvidently heard oí Cetewayo's tour through England. He wants to perform a similar pilgrimage and be fed up, petted and stared at. i i ■ i - Fob the first time in political history the sole anxiety about New ïork was by what majority the demócrata would cairy the state. The change of feeliug there is denided and lastmg. A remarkable change has taken place in the number of democratie governors lected, only two republican no minees aving been elected to fill the vacancies, these being in New Hampshire and Nebraska, while thirteen democratie governors were successf ui as f ollows : General Stonemaiijin California; James B. Grant, Colorado; Thomas M. Waller, Connectieut; Chas. C. Stockley, Deleware; Geo. W. Gliek. Kansas: Beni. E. Buttler, Massachusetts; Josiak W. Begole, Michigan; Jewett W. Adams, Nevada; Grover Cleveland, New York; B. E. Pattison, Pennsylvama; H. S. Thompson, South Carolina; W. B. Bate, Tennesse; John Ireland, Texas. Previously there were democratie governors in Alabaina, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiaima, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina and West Virginia. mmm. Tue voters have spoken, and once more the star of the democratie party is in the ascendency, shedding ita light írom Michigan to Texas, from New York to California. Again the people have demonstrated their confidence in democraoy, recognizing in the party the true supporter of the fundamental principies as embodied in the constitution. They have expressed their disapproval of the corruption, and extravagance ivhich have of late yeara been the chief characteriatic of the republicans; they have condemned class legislation, extravagant expenditures and oppressive taxation; they have declared that the party which will in the future be supported must be free from the glaring faults they have so foreibly denounced, and of tliis declaration the demócrata must take good heed if they wish to maintain the eonfidenoe of the masses. It has been a favorite boast of the republicans that whenever the demócrata get into power they invariably make some mistake to prejudice the people against them, but upon thia occasion there ia not the slightest doubt but that the administraron of the democracy will be characteristic of that sterling virtue which haa supported it through over twenty years of adversity. Nothing will prevent the demócrata from electing a president two years henee if they only use the trust imposed in them for the a 1vancement of the people over the monopolista who have so long trampled them under foot. The demócrata elected to office must be guided by a spirit of justice and economy. Much ia at stake on the legislation of the new congreso , and while we have the utmost confidence in the party we warn it's leaders to commit no act of folly or extravagance to cause the people to reverse their favorable opinión. A mistake means defeat; prudence means success.
