Show U'hut Tlio Now York Press . Say,m New York, 26. The Sun editorially advises tho bouse not to delay the count, but when completed to pass a resolution declariug Tilden elected as the Bense of the house. The Herald editorially hopes that Hayes will cause what has always been called the south to finally and utterly disappear. Parties baaed on geographical lines are always potent for evil, but the country is now ripe for a change. The Herald continues: It can be fairly said that no president in recent years has entered on tho office so little bound to party, so greatly and solemnly bound to take iuto bis judgment aud his confidence the whole country. The Times' editorial hopes the new administration will do all possible for tho south, but intimates that tho south can do much for herself. The federal administration should not interfere in-terfere with state governments in the south, but should protect citizens every where in the right of suffrage. It is our expectation that the next four years will see a great change for the better in southern prospects. Wo have strong hopes that the federal administration will be ao conducted aa to win the confidence of the progrea-sive progrea-sive element in the soulh. We do not anticipate any sudden change. The Tribune's editorial eays Hayes cannot aftord to consult republican portisans alone. He will be compelled com-pelled to seek Die support of the best men at the north and the most progressive pro-gressive men at lho south, who have not been identified with the republican republi-can party. In short the cireu instances in-stances will compel him to be precisely pre-cisely what the country has desired, a truly national president. He is a shrewd man. He has anon that he is stronger than his party, led as it has been. He knows the administration of Grant lost him thousands of votes. ! Hayes can bring with him ease and 1 certainty with lasting honor to himself him-self and with a leasoof power for a 1 quarter of a century to the parly bo 1 ropresenla. Spurious republicanism has tailed, let him give the country genuine republicanism. |
