‘ "ow to make the loss Profitable. .
The . general result of the. Fall
elections has been decidedly adverse
to the Refinblican party. © States
“which have heretofure, since the or‘ganization of the party uniformly
eleéted its candidates, bave in several . i
instances been carried by the De-}
mocracy, and for the first time in.
‘sixteen’ years the Democrats have
a majority in the Housés of Con, gress.” Bat still. the defeat is no
‘disaster if the party only hi

> "Call party ever had apy merits, it has
themstill. The peorle who compose it are just as honest. and pattiotic asin the first year of its existence. ‘They have not grown corrupt. There has been no‘ falling
from grace. But the uuprecedented success of the party has attracted
to it unprincip\ed and scheming po-.
litical adventurers, who have pushed
themselves into high pfficial places,
‘and there exhibited their vicious and’
Of these we
twe.do not hesitute to designate Ben,’

the-evil they could not endorse, boping it would pass away, but at
length forbearance ceas¢d, and they
have entered their protest in a manner which admits of no misunderOE: The people of i agsachuiodiy as ever, ek moi as willingly follow leaders who enjoy. their
‘confidence and respect; they have
experienced no change in opinion or
sentiment. The lesson of the campaign evidently is that a party to be
permanently successful: must have
not only good principles, bat good
_ €andidates. “The old saying -‘‘prin“ciples, not men,"’ contains the elements of an untruth, We can.
easily seo where a bad fan repre‘senting good principles, may bea
‘worse combination than a good man
representing bad “principles, and
leave no redeeming feature in the.
arrangement. If the Republican
pafty therefore would retain its suit must presnt anly its
best men for office. There is no
#uch important work td hold it to* gether as in the early days of its histury, and its integrity can only be
assured by constantly proving itself
worthy. This we believe it will do.
‘The outlook now indicates it. If it
is not done we hope the Democracy
will regain all the departments of
government,
