Since the successful overthrow
Tilden, after he had been chosen President
by a quarter of a million popular majority
and a decided preponderance of the Elec
toral College, neither party will fail to
employ any and every agency to assure the
next Presidency; and we are not sure
that the average Democrat wouldn't pre
fer to see his candidate cheated in to get
even with the Republican fraud of 1876-7,
while the average Republican won't criti
cise the means employed if his candidate
be declared victor. The Louisiana ami
Fbrida frauds of 1676 were a fearful sow
ing of the dragon's teeth that promises
abundant harvests in the future, and figs
won't be gathered from thistles.
The next Senate and House will both le
Democratic. Allowing for all possible
losses and the most favorable division that
can be made of the Nationals against the
Democrats, there must be from ten to fif
teen Democratic majority in the House ;
or, allowing the whole National strength
to slaml aside by itself, the Democrats will
have a small but safe working majority
over all for. the pnrpose of organizing the
body. They have the Clerk, with a lie-
Eublican statute framed to squelch a trou
lesome minority, .and these omnipotent
agencies will resolve all doubts in favor of
the Democrats. Once organized with a
Democratic Speaker aud Clerk, and the
Seuate in accord with the popular branch,
it will be an easv task to add to the Dem
ocratic majority out of the numerous con
tests, until the party feels safe enough to
stop. The Republican precedents of fif
teen years years teach the Democrats so
much 'and it can't be denied that they are
apt pupils, as the records of the present
and last House abundantly prove. It
matters not, therefore, how California shall
vote for Congressmen next year to com
plete the roll of the House; the Demo
crats are certain to le in the supremacy.
"While it is quite improbable that any
third party can be strong enough in 1880
to carry and State and thus throw the
election into the House, the remote possi
bility of such a result .makes the complex
ion of the House by States command the
attention of politicians. In case of the
failure of the Electoral College to give any
Presidential candidate a majority of the
whole vote, the threa highest candidates
are sent to the House and each State then
casts one vote as directed by a majority of
the States, without regard to population
or representation in the House, elects a
President, as John Quincy Adams was
elected over Jackson and Crawford in 1825.
The following table exhibits the political
classification of the States, in such a con
test, exclusive of California that has yet
to elect Congressmen, and it also presents
the electoral votes as it would be cast by
the elections of 1878 :

That is certainly a low view of American
politics which Mr. McClure takes W the
Philadelphia Times, in an article reprinted '
in this morning's Sux, entitled "Posting
Up for ,1880." Still, there are facts to
warrant some of his conclusions. We
think, however, that the cheating element
in the Democratic party will not handle
the reins in the next Presidential election ;
and so we will 'have an election without
fraud and without violence. Mr. McClure
is the sharpest political journalist in the
North. His present leanings are Demo
cratic, though he was a Republican up to
1872.
It is no time to express preferences for
this or that man for the Presidency. Many
a man now available may be politically
laid in the cold, cold ground before the nomi
nating, convention of 1880 shall meet.
While this can be said with truth, it may
also be said ho less truthfully that no man
who has shown lack of courage at the criti
cal hour, or has let others manage his for
tunes badly, can lead the Democrats in that
momentous conflict.
Grant is probably the coming man for
the Republican nomination. As Ieonidas
Polk licked him at Belmont and Albert
Sydney Johnston threshed him soundly at
Shiloh, so we think Hendricks or some
other good general will pluck his feathers
in 1880. The fame of his invincibility is
recent He has been whipped, and he can
be whipped again.
Congress will not meet until December,
1879, and by that time the Presidential
field for 1880 can be intelligently calcu
lated by both' parties. The issues will be
made up, and the probability of a third
party throwing the election into the House
will be within a range of accurate judg
ment. If such a result shall be probable,
he Democratic House will arm and equip
itself for the contingency according to lle
publicair precedents. The Republican Con

The study of the electoral vote as pre- i
sented by the elections this year, is an in
teresting one in view of the probable issues
of 1880. Assuming that the general re- ;
publican tide of 1878 shall be' repeated in ;
1880, and allowing California to be added
to the republican column, the electoral j
vote would: divide as follows : Republican, j
213 ; democratic, 156. All that is neces- j
sary to change the electoral majority from i
the republican to the democratic side will j
be the change of New York, with its 35 ,
electoral votes. Transferring New York j

Ex-President Grant's brother-in-law, Mr.
Corbin. in an interview published in the
Now York Herald, states that the story
of the General's connection with the tan
nine business is erroneous, and he does not
know how it originated. He does know,
however, that Gen. Grant never was a
tanner and was never in any manner en
gaged in that trade. Mr. Corbin does not
believe that the ex-President is at all de
sirous of returning to his old duties at
Washington, and does not consider that the.
Republican party is dependent on any in
dividual. I f circumstances should jso shape
as to convince the party that Grant would
be the strongest candidate, and to make

Hie State Executive Committee coiigratu
lates the Democratie-Cimservatix e party 1
North Carolina upon the result of the m i nt
(Congressional elections at the North. These
elections clearly indicate three 'things which
are of consequence to u : First, that the peo
ple of this country are dissatisfied with the
Republican party and are unwilling for the
Republican leaders to afflict us longer with
their ruinous measures and fraudulent prac
t'ees. Second, that the Nationals do not, meet
w ith popular, favor, and, as a separate organi
y.ation, have utterly failed to impress them
selves upon the country ; and lastly, that the
stir of the Democratic party is still in the
ascendant, and the people are looking to tht
party as the only one capable ol restoring
prosperity to the country, and able to admin
ister the government on those Constitutional
and just principles, which are essential alike
to the happiness of our citizens, and to the
perpetuity of our institutions. Thus in the
elections held in eighi States the Republicans
have lost twelve members of Congress; the
Nationals have elected four ; and the Demo
crats have elected twenty-three, and have
gained seven. j
These facts demonstrate that the people in- !
tend to invest the Democratic party with the i
full control of the National Government. The ;
Senate of the next Congress will be Democratic j
by a considerable majority, and it is only i
necessary for the Democrats of the South to j
remain steadfast in their allegiauce to our or- ;
ganization, and our triumph will be complete. ;
It is for us to determine w hether the banner j
I on which are inscribed Reconciliation, Home !
Rule and Financial Reform, shali trail in the ,
J dust, or shall be borne on to victory. -
! Every consideration of interest, pi policy ;
j and of patriotism then urges us to prepare, i
iininesiately for the approaching iolitical
struggle.
"Be assured, fellow-citizens, that without
preparation, it will be impossible to' achieve
success.
Let us . ot bv our apathy, our luke warm- ;
nej-8 and indifference jostpone the accession
to power ol that party which alone has been
able to check Republican corruption and to
arrest the progress of ocr government towards
a centralized despotism. ' .
Let us be steadfast in our devotion to prin
ciple, true to our organization and endeavor
by every means to discountenance those inde-
pendents and disorganizes who oppose our '
worthy standard-bearers freely' and fairly
chosen by the Democratic party in Convention
assembled.
In particular do we desire to repeat what
we have so often urged the necessity of;
thorough local organization. It is the town .
slrp committees who are charged with the
most important of all party duties. To them !
is committed the duty of supervising the
j election, and of devising means to brin? out
I everr Democratic voter to the polls. They
ought to meet frequently and advise and take
j counsel together how beswto promote the for
I tunes of that party, on wfiose success depends
so largely the prosperityAjf themselves and of
their posterity. In every township, in every
neighborhood, there ought to be appointed a
1 committee of active, efficient, and prudent
! party men, who will undertake to see that
every Democrat in the precinct comes to the
polls and casts his ballot for our i.omhieee.
We therefore urge this upon the township
committees; and if in any township it is ne
glected, we appeal to ' our Democratic friend.-
there to send their conveyances for all iht ir
neighbors who othenvistr might not attend the
i polls. .1 1 , . , ,.

ty that he who fails to vote for our nominee,
gives half a vote to the Republican party, and
