REPUBLICAN HAVE TRIUMPHED HONEST MEN REJOICE!

It la with deepcet satisfaction that we hail the result of Tuesday's election. Glorious; victory'perched upon the banner'of honesty and reform in this centennial year. * * ’ Honest and true men of both parties rejoice over the result. # * This glorious result murks an era in the history of (American politics, and the; people join in a grand hallenjah. .The battle, is fought, the contest is ended and the party of refprm will henceforth prees forward to happiness sind prosperity; while, throughout this broad land, from the Pacific tC the Atlantic, .brighter and better times will surely dawn upon us, This centennial wave has carried into power the party of honesty, economy and reform,— Monticello Comtitutionaluit. “It ia with deepest satisfaction that we hail” these brave words—this holiest admission—from oar democrat!!© con,temp or ary* Joyfully and heartily do we. respond Amen! to his pean of gratification. The election of Hayes and Wheeler has insured the dawning of “brighter and better times’* than could have followed the election of their competitors. “Honest and true men” of the republican party do most assuredly “rejoice over the result;” and ft is pleasing to lea|*n frdra the high source above quoted that our democratic neighbors unite heartily in this rejoioiog. It must be a matter of peculiar Ratification for boneat democrats everywhere to know that Mr. Tilden’s corrupt use of money, white line intimidation in the south, fraudulent registration and repeating in Hew Yofk and oilier large cities, proscription, bnlldotiog, slander, and every other disreputable means adopted by the vicious classes to compass the tri* umph of the states rights doctrine and to secure the payment of rebel losses j by war, have *©. disastrously failed. It is also, a matter of congratulation, which “honest and true men Of both parti—** may join in, that the deliberate Mtejrtpt .of Selfish, unscrupulous politicians of both .parties to. array a Sofid South and a Solid North against each otheralso miserably fatted. Like the Comtitutionalut, Ta* Union also thinks “this glorious result marks an era in the history of American politics” when It is proper for “the people to join in a grand hallelujah” of rejoioing. It wpa not yet

time to turn the government over to the control of those who endeavored to destroy it. The time bad Hot arrived when it would be proper to say to the patriot whose blood was shed in defenoe oi his country: Stand aside, sir; make place for the sympathizer with treason. Hayes and Wheeler were elected fairly and after their inauguration, hooesty, economy and reform will glide along hand in band, three graoes presiding over the destiny of our republio, securing peace, prosperity and happiness to all the people, white and black, native and foreign born, rich and poor, alike. 8o may it be.
