Iti an ably written ediun ial cuturrnin the fall elections occurriiii! in the I'liiled States this year, the able ami tar-sccin Haiti...".? Sun tints discourses: "The elections this fall, while not a important as some previous ones, prcs cut, nevertheless, some points ol consul era hie interest. A oucstion to le an swered is whetlier the tact thai the ad ministration is Republican alVeet tlu solidity of the Democratic party in ccr tain Southern States. Another ipustioi is as to the extent of the losses the Ke nulilicaii nartv mav be expected to sutler m certain Northern States by reason o the reaction against the protective policy and the Itirlhercircunistanccs that this is an 4lulf" vear. It cm hanllv lie assume that the season hup. lnijtiii auspiciiul for the party represented by the present administration, Kentucky, which vu expected to show I 'camera tie 1 sscs. h.iv exhibited lare jjaiiis instead. Mi eheer will be prndiiced if. as seems likely the ( letober elections in .-1 1 1 i i i t 1 1 . the two Dakotas and Montana place thest new States in the Republican told. Tlu two I'akotas are certainly Rcptdtlicau It Washington the Democrats had per Imps at one time a tiLthunn' chance, but l hey have lost it, and t lie Male is con ceded even by Impend Democrats. Mui tana is still in doubt, but the resource? at Mr. (Juay'sdisposal are thought to U adeiiuale to decide its tale. In anv event a majority of the new States will he. their career of statehood Republican tact upon which the managers of thai party have very uood reason to con jjratulale themselves, in view o the narrowness ot their major it v just now in the IIousv and Senate. As the new States an likely to continue for years the atlitmli assumed at the lirsi election, the ad vantages gained in i 'ctober promise t be valuable. The siibsefpieut contests u Maryland. .Massachusetts, .Mississippi Iowa. New York, New lersev, I'enusvl vania, )hio and Virginia, preseul in eacl case some feature ot special interest Nearly all in the list arc expected to re peat their teccnl political history. Ni one anticipates a change, for example, ii Mississippi or Massachusetts, but smut ot the i it hers notably New orU a in Ohio are enough in doubt lo create ex eitement. In the Kuipirc State the object ot duel concern is the Legislature, t hi Republican majority at Albanyisat prcs cut forty, but 'nivernor Hill, who is otu of the shrewdest politicians of our time thinks he can replace it with a Demo- era tic ma j ori tv. He is at work with that object in view, and if successful will wi-h it is said,, to be chosen to the I'nitei States Senate to succeed Senator Kvaris Messrs. D'.pcwauil 1'latt are his Republi can competitors, with the chances ii ease Legislature continues Republican on joint ballot 111 lavor ot I'lall. 1 Ik struurle between the two ureal pariicp m New York tor mastery at Albany wili he spiced, probably, by a I 'rohibitiou de fection from both, but without such a feature it will be iutenselv interestini;. Two such political acrobats as Hill and Dcpcw have rarelv been pitted against each otlier. In I'ennsylania the Pro hibitionists are expected to make an im pressivc demonstration. I he contest there is over the minor State oilicers, but the I'rohibi'.iouists resent what they cal their "betrayal" bv the Republicans it the recent vole on I 'rohibitiou, and will this tall take Lneir revenue. What it will amount to, it is impossible to sav Probably a reduction 01 the usual Re publican majority will be the only practi cal result. In Ohio i here are tends aim mil the leaders of the dominant party which encourage its opponents to make active canvass of ihe State. Thcli'-ht however, a verv up-hill atlair. The Democrats have a larye majority overcome, and have against them the mlluence ot the administration. A uota ble feature of th. Democratic canvass iinistratniLr tne tendency ot opinion is the strong tarn) rclonn basis on which it is made. Not Umg since that political tnons"osity, the hiLrh-lanlt I )cinicrat. was prominent tn the Democratic part of Ohio, and was found in considerable numbers in Congress. His voice was loud, and his effort to reverse the tra ditional policy ot his parly was con spicuous. Hut in I lliio. as in many other States, the Democrats that advocate the continuance ot an oppressive war taritl are disappearing, and are bein; replaced in public lite by advanced reformers. Virginia will naturally attract more at tention this fall than any other State. There the contest is regarded bv mauv not merely as a combat between the local parties, but a test of the practicability ot the President's Southern policy. Will the supposed protectionist Democrats of Virginia be induced bv the substantial favors of the administration to change their party connections and vote tor Mahone? Is the economic issue of more importance, in the opinion ot the a vera ye protectionist Democrat ol Virginia, than the retention of the eountv and Slate ad ministrations in the hands of the edu cated classes, that is to say, of the whites? Mahoneism in its newest phase means the plaeiiio; of power in local as well as State atlairs to an increased ex text in the hands of the colored jK'ople Formerly there was a considerable mini ler of influential white Republicans who noted with Mahone, sharing with him the control ol the party and holding the offices in its urilt, but these have now been driven out. They no longer temer Willi tneir presence the tendency to seala waism.of which Virginians Ljcnci ally are in Krent dread. The revolt against ! tlK- tieket nominated at Norfolk is therefore extending, and politiculseersofexieri nee are positive that Virginia will not this i i... ti i i- uiiijoiu tiiccoiuniu ui ncpuoucaii Mates. It Makes A Ureal Difference. The nomination of three ex-Confederates nt the Norfolk convention has not excited the cry of rae from Maine to California that one miht have expected. General Mahone, the candidate for Gov ernor, was a leading spirit in the terrible slaughter that followed the futile explo sion of the "crater" at Petersburg during the siege of that place. Hut for him the result of the explosion might have been an curlier triumph of the I'nion cause, instead of the destruction of a great number of colored soldiers. Vet there is -no cry against him from Senator Chand ler, of New Hampshire, nor from Senator Sherman, of Ohio. Ingalls, too, is silent. Exceptional activity in behalf of the Confederate cause is not, therefore, it appear, a matter for denunciation in cases where the ex-Con federate is now acting with the party of high tariffs. M)UTi:H T4N.M-U. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican in an editorial commenting upon Corporal Tanner's idiotie seecli at Chautauqua Sunday, does not take the pains toelothe its contempt for that personage in tine words or to beat about the bush in charging the administration with having appointed to a high otlice a man whose lack of ordinary common sense is shame fully apparent, ami whose re.-ent utter ances have been and will ever be re garded by decent Republicans with a de gree of disgust that is painful to ob serve. The Republican goes on: Pension Commissioner Tanner's ramb hutr sneeeh at Chautauqua on Sunday onlv serves to strengthen the impression that the man is scandalously out ot '-cr in his present office, and ought v-r . have been appointed to the re Miousihilit v. lie views the soldier alto gether as a hireling, estimating the value of bis serviers. sufferings and wounds in dollars am! cents ; and the nation's debt to the veieranscau be fully paid in standard dollars, according to Ins notion, "Ut -ot forty-three eculs a day," he ex claimed, "to stand up ami be shot at,' and he charges tht newspaiiers with con deinuing him and the veterans as thicvis and burglars because thev are now seek ing their iust dues. This is characteristic il'llic-man who has employed bis titnea i high department official in placing hi ianiily in office, relating the pensions ol and granting arrears to the salaried members of the pension bureau, expedit ing the cases o a few favored claimants and pouring money into the pockets ot the rich Senator Alaiiilcrsou. Itut Tanner as a tinancicris too cotni ieal. "l-er lax-paver." he savs. "ought ;o be in !avor ot pensions because the money is diirdiuted in every city, villagt un! hamlei." Then he expresses "thanks :n (tod" thai he mav be able, "without -;cit ntilic 'Knowledge, to transmute some if the hidden co:u of the republic hit itod's golden sunshine and semi it stream nig into the homes of the sutleriiig" Mich, for example, as that of Sctiatoi Maudersoii.
