Two KINDS of crank were left out in the late elec- The Republican voters, a majority of them, live at country distances from the polls. The bulk of Demo- cratic voters are in the large cities, and are barnacled close to the ballot-box. The voter that waits for persuasion is chiefly of Democratic pref- erence, and always on call. The unpersuadable is fre- witnessed.” quently, unless under press- ure, indifferent. In the state of New York the canal vote is larger in number than the flitting mugwump. From Buffalo to Albany and from Whitehall to Troy, two weeks before election, a little army of cleaners of useless ditches absorb the appropriation, and wave their shov- els and the Democratic ballot. The defeat in Ohio of Foraker and a third term was through a reinforcement of Republican protestation. Massa- chusetts and lowa, stirred by no enthusiasm, were not dead but apathetic. Furthermore, many credulous people, who believed that the advent of a Republican national administration would be the lifting of the curtain of an industrial millenium, were disappointed in the non-appearance of a financial glory. Impatience is our national characteristic. The seed sown to-day we expect to give harvest to-morrow. We plant a dollar at sunset and look for its mushrooming into a fortune in the morning, for- getting that solid growths are slow and not sudden.

The Republican party, the bravest party that ever existed, has acted the part of a coward in its asso- ciations with these people. As the JUDGE said before the recent election, it is of no use to try to conciliate persons whose purpose in living is to work your injury or death. As the JUDGE said again, there should have been a platform plainly advocating a higher license for the larger liquors, and a nominal one for the smaller ones. With such a platform and with the utmost indiffer- ence as to radical temperance people, at the same time advocating com- mon-sense in the filling of office by appointment, with indifference to the opinions of the people who facetiously call themselves civil-service reform- ers, the Republican party can recover from all the humiliation it has suf- fered through trying to. save or capture the votes of individuals and fac- tional organizations who bring it nothing but injury when they come with- in its fold.
