Review OF the Recent EI. ctions-How Stands


the Questions


We give in this days paper three very remsrka-
bic articles, purportlng to be reviews of the recent
elections throughout the country, which have been
published in three of the principal organs of the
parresin into which the people OF this city divided
The first article is taken from the New York
Tribune, and il may be regarded as the manifesto
OF the deliberate and sensible portion of the Whg
party on the recent elections throughout the coun-
try-their present position and future prosperi'y-
The second article comes from the Morning Ne,Ds
"a democratic paper, and itmay be considered the
manifesto OF the democratic party purporting IN the
same way to show their position at the present
moment, and their hopes and prospects Of electng
the President, and all the contingencies connected
herewith The third article is taken from the
Journal Of Commerce, which may be considered
neutral, or leaning towards "Nativeism" in its To-
cal tendencies, but on the whole presenting a
toeraby fair view of the results OF these elections
with the position of all the parties and their pros
poets which each possesses, as viewed by impartial
men at this moment. We publish these articles in
detail, because they indicate that great improve
ment has taken place in the public mind and in the
management ofpolitical journals during the present
contest tor the Presidency. We are thus presented
with three toerably fair statements, coming, i, strue,
from party sources, but still with all their bias for
particular party, they all manifest considerable
caador and common sense; sufficient, at least, 10
secure for their calculations and statements seme
degree OF attention. Ii there be any want OF fair
in these articles particularly manifest, we
think it is TO be discovered in the statement Of the
Necs. 1t brags and boasts more than its position
warrants; and in this respect, contrasts unavoraby
with the Tribune, which acknowledges, to the
fullest extent, that the October elections have not
been so decisive either party expected. The
Journal Of Commerce, in making its estimate,
does not, we think, do full justice to the whig
party. but seems to give preponderance to the
locofocos that complete, full, and impartial review
OF these elections does not grant to them. But let
proceed to the facts, and give view and
opinion of the present position of all parties, and
fhe probable resuts'o the whole contest.


In order TO understand this complicated subject,
and 10 present it fully to the view OF all, it is
cessary to begin with the election Of 1910, and
compare the results of that year with those OF the
present Amongst politicians generally there is a
great want of accuracy in their comparisons-a
great deal of bombast and coniuson-a great deal
of pretension and emptiness BY reference to
figures that cannot lie, we will lay solid subsra-
tum OF substantial facts, which to base our cal
culations. In order to understand the present
position compared with the past position Of par
ties we give the following table which is an accu-
rate statement of the Stat. elections previous to
the Presidential election in 1910, in the nineteen
States in which elections have taken place this
year. We include also in this table the results of
the most recent elections thereby giving at glance
the difference existing between the period OF 1910
and that of the present year.
