ESTABLISHED 1799.155VW
The Greatest Political Victory in the
Nineteenth Century.
Constitutionalist Office, 4:30 A. M.
We have met the enemy arid they aie
oars, thauk God !
The editorial in to-day’s New York
World, reproduced in our dispatches,
expresses the sentiment of every Dem
ocrat concerning this glorious triumph.
That we have elected TILDEN and
carried the House of Representatives
is now a matter of history.
The Republicans admit 198 electoral
votes for Tilden, 13 more than a ma
jority in the electoral college.
Tiie Democrats claim In the same
college 213 votes. It makes little dif
ference whether one or the other party
is correct.
In any event Tilden and Hendricks
are the successful candidates by an all
sufficient majority. Let us have peace !

A Bobber 8. —The World,
this morning, has the following leader:
“Peace on earth to men and good
is the glorious message or this gloiu
ous day. The magnificent victory
which we announce has been won by a
great united pud determined political
party, but it has been woo b y a party
for the salvation of a people, It
brings to the defeated the same
blessing which it insures to the victors.
It is the triumph of union over dis
union; of order and ot the law ove
the spirits of disorder and of anarchy;
of statesmanship and patriotism over
partisan insolence and sectional hate*
There is notan honest man in the
TTnited States of whatever ereed, of
whatever ’color, ot whatever political'
affiliations, who has not caus<etbis day
whether he know3 it or not, to thank
God for the work which was yesterday
done. In all our past ffistory no sub
limer spectacle has been
a-. fLo WO rld tliBQ tills. w oen
the armies of the republic flushed with
victory melted quietly back into the
great body of the people at the close of
the civil war, the political philoso
phers of all nations stood astonished
at the scene. How much grander is
the sight which we witness to-day
of a gigantic political revolution, plan
ned, begun and carried out without the
firing of a shot in anger, by the simple
exertion of the popular will work' lg
through the legitimate forms and the
traditional spirit or our free institu
tions. To those who have been part and
parcel of the work, to the active men of
both political parties, it doubtless
seems as a simple and natural thing
enough. To foreign observers anu to
those who come after us it will assume
true proportions, and It will stand
in history as the noblest Imaginable
indication of the wisdom and the faith
of those great men, who founded our
nationality on principles regarded in
their time as wild and utopian and
even in our own days dishonored
too often by the distrust and contempt
of Americans unworthy their g at
heritage of freedom.
