The New York Herald thinks it "is a relief to feel that the Presidential contest is a mere trial of party strength and rivalry of personal ambition, and that whether Hayes is elected or Tilden is elected the country is equally sure that the Government will be administered on honest principles. No great public interest will be endangered by the success of either candidate. We may, therefore, dismiss anxiety and apprehension, and look upon this interesting canvass as a harmless struggle between two equally patriotic parties for public favor and approval. We shall have an honest President, a safe administration and a steady progress toward specie payments and business prosperity, whether Governor Hayes or Governor Tilden carries off the honors of the canvass."
And that is about how the matter stands.
