Another proof of bulldozing, no doubt. WHY? ''There is occasions and causes why aad wheretore in all things," said bluff old Fluellen, whan he forced Pistol to eat his leek, and we may add, and so there be. What are the ''occasions and causes why and wherefore" of the dem ocratic defeat? They were many, and they are not bard to find.

The Intelligencer cannot say, "I told you so," because it d.d not. Though causes were as plenty as huckleberries, we still thought that the justness ot the democratic cause, and the cleanness ot the democratic candidate would bring the party success despite mistakes. It is easy to have what old-fashioned, hard sense has denominated ''hindsight" much easier than to have foresight, and the "I told you so" idiots are generally not slow in trying to prove by the one that they have bad the other. Nothing could be more futile than such assumption, but to review the field, to see in the light of history the causes ol disaster, to record these, and to remember them, that they may be avoided in the future, is the part of wisdom. First.thougb, let it be understood that nettling in the record ol the demo cratic candidate tended toward defeat.

His name was a tower ol strength. His fame was something to be proud el His honor was and is as unsullied as a niaatle of newly lallen snow. His ut teranees, so far as constitutional rights were concerned, might be attributed, in clearness and patriotism, to George Washingtou hinssalt. The first blow at demooratic success this lall was struck, over a year ago, by John Kelly and Tammany Hall In de feating Gov. Robinson, and turning the state of New York over to the republi-sans.

There is no sort ot doubt that New York, left to its own impulses, nn-swerved by trafficking politicians, is democratic. This was proven in the vary election which placed a republican in its exeoutive chair, and gave him, for three years, the pewer of the patronage of the empire state ol the union. When all personal differences should have been laid aside for the wellaro of the party, they were permitted to overshad ow everything else. Mr. Kelly, a man who has never -yet carried Now York state, in bis hatred lor Mr.

Tilden, who has twice carried it by large majorities, suffered his vanity and arrogance to cause the humiliation of his party. Next in the order of patent mistakes was the management in Indiana regarding the constitutional amendment. The people at a previous election had voted tor and carried an amendment to the state constitution, doing away with the October election for state officers. It was a righteous decision, and should have been left undisturbed, but Mr. Hendrioks' friends, desiring to further bis chances for nomination, by exalting the importance of his state.brought such a pressure to bear on the supreme court of the state, that this amendment was declared by that court to be unconstitutional, and the usual election in October was ordered to be held.

The Indiana delegation went to Cincinnati. They uinde a stubborn fight for Mr. Hen- irLks sulking when they found be could not be named, and refusing to v-jle for any one else. Mr. Hendricks, too great to accept the vice-presidency, it was tendered, at Senator McDonald's request, to Mr.

Bnglisb, wborjj nobody ot this generation knew, and, as if in irony ol the traditions of the democratic irty. a national banker. All this was bad, but it might have been retrieved. Gen. Hancock's name was received with acclaim accessions came to him every where, when suddenly the democracy was alarmed to hear that Mr.

Hendricks was sulking in his tent. The enemy made every possible use of the constitutional amendment question, and of the disagreements of the democratic chieftains. To put the cap sheaf upon this stack of there had been nomi nated for governor a good enough, but coarse, illiterate man, who had once coquetted with tho greenbackers to such an extent as to win a nomination from them, which he had refused. The gallant democracy of Indiana was dismayed and demoralized. The enemy was sell-poised, well led and aggressive.

Finally, when too late, an insulting editorial in Mr. New's paper stung Mr. Hendricks into action, and, like an aroused lion, he. sprung from his lair, and made his cel ebrated Indianapolis speech. But alas, democratic dissension and republican money and discipline and imported votes had decided the battle.

October came, and with it came the terrible blow of Porter's election. The weak began to waver, and the prestige was all with the republican party. In the meantime in New York city, where John Kelly had promised an in creased majority if any other than Tilden was nominated, Tammany and Irv ing Halls, instead ot coming to an im mediate understanding, washed their dirty linen in public clear through tho whole campaign, and only finally agreed by naming a ticket which displeased and drove away the independent voters to such a degree that it only escaped defeat by a scratch. Whether there was a direct sell-out or not on Mr. Kelly's part, the effect of his- contumacy and strife was to lose New York city, and with it the election ot Hancock.

Of amistake made by the candidate we speak with pain. A brave, honorable, chivalrous soldier, Gen. Hancock wrote as he thought. But, reared as he bad been in an atmosphere of protection, he was not fully en ra-porte with the demooratic party on the tariff, and bis letter on that subject was unwise and unfortunate. We do not upbraid him with bis act.

We believe it to have been inspired by the best ot motives, and to have been the ingenu ous utterance of a heart unused to concealments; still it gave away all the advantages of the legitimate free trade tendencies of the democratic party out securing any advantages ot the ar gument of the republicans, it was a grievous blunder. There was lukewarmnessbere apathy born of over-confidence there, aud little mistakes by the hundred but in what we hare written, and in the misfortune ot the electoral commission, we have pointed out enough democratic mistakes to account for defeat. On the part of tho enemy we have seen, since Chicago, consummate ability. Demagogism by Conkling which, in its sublimity of impudence, deserved the success which it received at the hands of illiterate, ignorant, prejudiced and howling raobs. The bloody shirt deified.

FuUeboud canonized. Hatred exalted into a virtue. Voters imported into Indiana like short-horned cattle. The franchise prostituted to money, for which office holders, national banks, railroad magnates and bond syn dicates were liberally bled. It was a war to the knife, and the knife to the hilt The republicans knew that to lose was the death ol their party, which lives on and is of the past.

They knew that they must win to live, and the army of a hundred thousand paid retainers was whipped into active service, while the author of civil service order number one bid himself behind the Reeky moun tains, and by his presence made the states of the Pacific slope democratic. But, fellow-democrats, we need not feel dlsconraged. A majority ot the American people, despite deputy mar shals, despite imported voters, despite repeaters and frauds, despite the luliy exercised power ot the government, has declared in favor of our immutable and never-dying principles. A majority of the citizens of this country voted lor Winfield Scott Hancock for president ol the United States. Wo have probably lost congress, but what is four years in the life ot a country such as ours? It may be that this defeat was necessary to prove what democracy has tried to teach the danger of centralization, the menace in the growing power ot im mense corporations.

Already the empire is being advocated, as may be seen in an article on the first page of this pa per already we are told that jf the re publican party controls congress, it will pass laws to perpetuate itself in power; already Grantism is conspicuous, with many of its former opponents in the re publican party "bending the pregnant binges of the knee" in the hope that "thrift may fellow fawning." The democratic party has a great, a noble and an exalted mission. When the 'liberties of the people are unquestionably threatened by the concentration of power at Washington City, when all see and admit it; when the toiling laborer becomes the bond slave of the corporation that owns him; when the insolent protected monopolist demands such tribute from the larmer that even the rich soil of America cannot bear the exaction; when the luxuries and of our rulers beget an expressed desire for coronets and titles, the poor, deluded ignoramuses who are now crying out "solid south," "secession," will a knowledge that we have been right and they wrong, and a united yeomanry will rise in its might and- vindicate its right to be free, by one overpowering onslaught that will carry terror to the hearts of the corrupters of the people. The day may look far distant. Be not deceived it is nearer than you think. Let every man who loves his country every man who reveres liberty every man who hates shams, who despises hypocri- sy.who demands equal rights with every other man, who holds honest labor to ennoble as can no diadem, stand firm.

Let there be no cowering at and as sure'y as the summers come, right, and truth will at last prevail. If protection by a tariff is such a good thing lor the industries of the country why not double the tariff at once Does any one suppose that. this course double the wages ot operatives Of course not. It not add one cent to their remuneration. Nor does protection now.

When the manufacturer competes with foreign he he accomplishes it by potting his scale of wages low enough to enable him to produce the goods as cheaply or more cheaply than his competitor. Our cotton, steel, cutlery and other manufact urers now boast that they can successfully sell goods in Manchester and other English cities, under the very hoses of those who have been heretofore ruling the markets of the and yet they have tbe impudence to say to their ecu-. you veto for a tariff for revenue you will put your wages down to those of the pauper labor of Europe." In the first ace, manufacturing operatives in Europe are not paupers.In many respects they are better off than thoir brethren In this country. If they re-seiveless they pay out less. Tuey do not pay into the pockets of their bosses sixty per cent more than it is worth for a coat.

And it is not true, were tree trade inaugurated to-morrow, that wages in Amsrioa would oome down to the scale paid in It is not that they love their employes that the manu- laoturers pay them mora than there, but it is because American inventive genius has enabled them to manufacture mora goods with the same number of hands. What tho manulaoturer likes about the protective tariff is not that it helps bis men to earn big wages; but that it helps him to appropriate inordinately large profits. Let this be well understood, for it is true to a demonstration! The question is, if upon cer tain lines of goods 50 per cant, protec tion by the tariff adds 50 per cent, to the prioo of the goods, who pays it? II there is an advantage npon ono side. there must be a disadvantage upon tbe other. There are 12,000 persons, cap italists, who are estimated really to benefit by a high tariff, but suppose the en.

tire million and a half of persons enga ged in manufactures to be so benefited, is it not at the expense ot the eleven millions of people engaged in other avo cations? This is the economic que tion of the future. It behooves the peo ple to study it well. It costs them every year live times as much as tbe entire interest on the public debt. 1 he State Journal rejoices thus: "Hurrah ior Garfield and glory. He is to-day a poor man, but there ain't mon ey enough in tbe United States to buy his honor and manhood, as Col.

Jnger. soil so well says." We hope this is true. Gen. Garfield is to be tbe president ol the whole United States, and we trust that he is incorruptible. The New York Times and Tribune, Harper's Weekly and the Buffalo Commer.

5, telegraphed to James Abrani, at Mentor: "Long metre do.xology is in order. New York greets Ohio and all tbe people say "Aamen!" James W. probably desires that James A. shall not forget him in tbe distribution ol pap, but why should such a pious person as he seems to be, with his big little m-e-n, tell stories. All the people aren't singing the doxology, either long or chart metre, and ail of them aren't sayinii by a hundred thousand majoiity lor The New Haven, Palladium, rejoices in the protection victory in these words "The verdict has gone forth that free trade shall not intertore with American prosperity, and the party which sought to reduce American labor to the wage standard of Europe has been condemned by the popular voice.

The world has been taught that this is a nation of freemen, in which man is by his birthright, a sovereign, and each, whatever his station or calling, a peer among his peers." It is undoubtedly natural and right lor people to rejoice in victory, but they should have moderation, sense and a modicum of truth mixed up with their cries ot joy. American prosperity has been caused, not by protected manufactures, but by unprotected agriculture. Every scbool boy who reads his father's newspaper knows that the millions of specie which have been coming here Irom Europe are in payment tor wheat, corn and beef. It is a demagogical falsehood, unsupported by argument, to say that free trade will interfere with our nation al prosperity, or "reduce American la bor to tbe wage standard of Even if this were true, tha Palladium's assertion that it bad been condemned by the popular voice would still be un true, lor Gan. Hancock, who stood up on a platform pledged to a reiorru of tbe tariff, received over a hundred thou sand more votes than did Gen.

Garfield, who will bo, like Mr. Hayes, a minority president. The final sentence is also a delusion. "The world has" not "been taught this is a nation ol freemeu in which every man is by his birthright, a sovereign, aud each whatever his station or calling a peer among his peers." This is very pretty rhetoric, but it is not true. The democratic mill opera tive in New England or Pennsylvania whose employer told him that his win ter's bread and butter depended on his voting for Garfield, is hardly the peer of his master; and the farmer, with bis unprotected wheat, which must pay for the protected rails which carry it to market, is scarcely the peer ol tbe bounty-fed manufacturer.

"That is a very short paragraph from the Palla dium. It reads nicely, at a glance, but it contains about as much false statement and false reasoning as could well be crowded into so much space. Among the curious anomolies ol American politics none is more singular than the that Mr. Garfield who spnrns tho theory of state rights is only elected president by that theory, and not by-the voice of the people. Gan.

Hancock has received a majority of tbe popDlar vote but the popular voice can. not elect him. While the people say Han cock, the states in the electoral college say Garfield. There Is slightest danger that Gen. Garfield will feel at all squeamish about accepting the presidency on -this account.

it is rumored that Sherman de sires to retire from active This would place Gen. Sheridan in command ot the army, with Gen. Hancock as second in command, and would give the latter tbe command of the western department, with headquarters at Chicago.

Robert McKonna, elected by the re publicans us a'membarjof the Tennessee legislature, is ineligible having been convicted of incest in marrying tbe granddaughter of his wile.

The complexion of the United States senate may be affected by his' ineligibility. Gov. Foster says that Gar-field will not atcempt to curry favor- with the south by tendering it a cabinet posi tion. Why should he? The. favor of the or the for flint matter, be a poor thing if it coHid be bought for office.

There should be no contest of any man' vote on technicalities of fuel ling or tlie size or shape of a ticket. The intent of the voter should be respected. But fraudulent billots should, if possible, be eliminated from the co f.

The JpirUrr, fiitv State Journal savs "As we stated the night belore the election. Judge Bice is a personal friend of Gen. Gartioldand 's a great admirer of him. He will support the administration of the nw president, and in a republican congress will have the standing that Mr. Pnilips could not have.

To all practical purposes, the election ot Rice to congress is a republican victory." Without noticing the miserable grammar ot tbis paragraph, we may say that there is no doubt tbat tbe last statement in it is true. Judge Rice's election is a republican victory. But to assert that his acquaintance with Mr. Garfield will make him any the more effective as a congressman, is the veriest bosh. Mr.

Philips also knows General Gin field, and, no doubt, possesses that gentleman's confidence and esteem. Both are educated, refined men both able men, above the silly, demagogical twaddle ol such small men as Judge Rice. The friendship of a president is ot small moment to a congressman, except for spoils. What he gets from congress he must fight for on the floor and before committees, and no number of acquaintanceships will replace to him the prerequisite of success brains. We never will, but we should like to know if the New York Herald sold itself to the republicans.

and tor how much. Whatever tbe price it earned it, for the dirty work that it did in Indiana and New York was only equalled by the war which the Express made upon Mr. Bennett. Tbe Herald, however, knows how to gild its filth in the refinement of rhetorical slurs and innuendoes. It is a great newspaper, powerful in its influence, but as unscrupulous as Satan in tbe pursuits of its objects.

Is it possible tbat because the English desired the republican party to succeed Mr. Bennett came back to America to help accommo date them? A lot of idiotic independent newspa pers which hope, in the interest of purity, that southern members of congress will, for a consideration, help the republicans to organize the house, have started a cry that certain Hancock electors will vote tor Grant. The man who does such a disgraceful act will be politically dead and damned, and he ought to be. The democrats voted for Han cock, through their electors, and they demand that their votes shall bo recorded. The bullion withdrawn from the Bank ol England, last Friday, for shipment to New York.

Three thousand people gathered at Cooper institute, New York, last Friday night, in honor of Thomas Hughes. George William Curtis delivered the address of welcome.

Gem-go William hardly touched on theie points, we imagine. Geo. Glass, tof Mail son, very foolishly, needlessly, and senselessly, no doubt.started a rumpus by hallooing for Jeff.

Davis, but what is to be said ot the mob which killed him for it? We bear a good deal from republicans about free speech, but il there ever was an intol erant set it is this same republican par ly. Pope Bob should turn his attention to Madison, Ind. Blaine, whose voice tailed him after the Ohio canvass, and who Is still hoarse, is being loll out of the calculations for cabinet positions, but his friends date his claims buck to Chicago, where, they say. it was he who rendered Garfield's nomination possible. The curled Conkling may still have a word to say anent tbe plumed knight.

Bob Toombs, it is said, will erect, in Georgia, a cotton factory at a cost ol 9200,000. We suppose our northern friends will find in this some project to destroy the union. There is one thing such enterprises will do, and that is, they will destroy protection, as southern ootton mills say they neither need or desire protection. Michael Davitt and John Beylle O'Reilly addressed an audience ot 2,500 Irishmen, at Faneuil hall, Boston, last Friday evening, in regard to the pur. poses ot tbe land league.

A prominent republican in this city says that Judge Rice solemnly pledgd himself, while hero, to vote with the republicans on ull political questions.

The most difficult position in the gift of the governor to fill well is warden of tbe penitentiary. The control of this institution involves tbe management of one million dollar's worth of permanent property, thousands of dollars worth of mnnu- lictured goods, over 1,200 prisoners, and nearly a hundred otlim-re. Prison management lias come to be a eci- euce, and there "are but few men who possess the executive ability, the bus-iuess qualifications, and the peculiar tact which ure necessary to command success in it. A careful observation of the prison of this state has satisfied us that Col. John K.

Willis, the present warden, is the riht man in tbe right place, and we think it would be a misfortune if the change of administrations should cause bini to be removed. Under his charge the penitentiary, which tised.lo be a great expense, bas been made almost self sustaining. lis industry is better organized Ihan it ever was before, and its discipline leaves uptbing be desired. The health of the prison ers is good they are well fed and well treated. Morality is inculcated by books, papers, aud the preaching ot the gospel, aud so far as itjs pos sible to do, the prison is made a reformatory institution.

We being our press night, we can- uol rep irt the entertainment In Ibis issue. Tbe lowers of Ihe mayor of tbe city of Lexington are very circumscribed. They are plainly laid down In tbe charter, and nowhere, either in so many words or by Implication, is be authorized to "recogniz a a city oflicer any periion Jiof recdulz-d as sucli by tbe council.

Nowhere tn the cbr. ter Is tbe mayor given any privilege to consider or weife'htbe. question ol who or wbo Is not eleeted Jo an oflics. Section Article 2, ol tba-eharfer says: ''Whenever tbe election of any officer fa the council fhall determine the same nis-jority Tote of Ibe members preseut." Section 9, Article 2, Is as follows "Whenever two or mora persons reeeive an equal number of voles lor any city office, tbe judge ol tbe ell ol Ion sbahVaerlify tbe same to the council, wbo strati trder a new election Immediately." -cOon 4, i paflly In these words: vy. npijority of the city council -hull coiistttufc a ejanram, to do liusineM-." Now the council has obeyed tbe charter.

The electiou of Mr. Turner was unnieiite 1. I be council determined tbe contest by a majority, audi majority confuting of live members, there being-eight members in all. Mr. Turner re lined to let tbe ballots be seen, wheu Ibey would mo.t indubitably have t-hown that be was not Heeled by 1' gal votes.

Tbe con ell out ol precaution of falrne-s declared, from the evidence they adduced, a lie. Tbey were, as tbe body before which the contest was tried, -lbe judge ol tbe election." As such judge tbey certified this tie, and by the plain terms of the" right when tbey oi oered a new election. does not matter what technical igal oj.lnt iin may be rendered on tbis point, we do not believe tbat auy court will ever reverse that action certainly no unbiased reading or the charier can conv-y any other Idea of what is intended. The only point at Issue, that we can see, is a constitutional oi', upon which the best legal lights sllitte from two directions. Where Is tbe mayoiN power to set hiineif up as a Judge ol tbe acts of the council We tail to find it auy where writ down.

The cb liter does say this, though If a vacancy occurs In tbe otliut- of Mayor, or if be be unable to perform bis duties by reat-uii of temporary or continued absence or slckui-s, tbe council shall proceed to elect one uf tbelr number i ll ilnn in, who shall ilitcharge thi Juliet of mayor, until tbe mayor resume his office, or bis vacancy be, filled by a new election." Mayor John has intentionally absented Mmielf from the three or four last meetings of the 'couuclji It to be supposed thai tbe business ol the city li to be stopped by blscoulumaoy and, obstitiaey Mot at all. Let the eoimvll go on, and do its duty regardless ot bis wuiuis. COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. C0RDER. improvement still continues.
