CONSOLATION.

NON0OlAA
Our neighbOrs near the head Of Salt River con-
song themselves with the recollection Of their voyage
up the same stream in 1894 and apparently taking TO
themselves much comfort and hope, in calling to mind
the result of the contest in 1885, when they were go
fortunate cut loose from their moorngs, and row
back again. Ii mny be thought cruel 10 rob them OF
their sole hope and consoation since hope is the only
anchor they have left, to save themselves from be-
ing driven farther up the stream. However, must
be allowed to remind them Of one or two small points
Of difference between their present situation and that
Of 1884.
1t is true, that in 1884 the Wings carried the State
and obtained small majority in the Legislature But
at that time, it nnst he recollecied the whole of
The State amounted to only ab"u, $1,000 aud OF this
number Of votes, Mr. Foot, The Wing candidate for
Governor, lacked l26 Of majority. lie was elected
by the Legislature In 1928, the vote OF TIC Safe
was increased to nearly $4,000 and by TIE 'remen-
dous exeTons of the administration party, Mr. Ed
wards obtained a majority ct 1900.
Now observe the difference. The vote of the
State this year is the largest ever given, numbering
more than two-thirds in the lower House, and the en-
tire Senate, save one Mr.. Ellsworth is elected over
Mr. Beers, by majority ofbetweeu and 5000, and
over all others, by majority Of l00 being the largest
majority which any Governor has received, at least
for many years past.
In view Of these-facts, the Loco Focos are well
comparison Of 1884 and 1885 The boast they make
of having twenty two thousand good men and rue''
left must weigh nothing. BY all the exertions they
can make they cannot Increase The vote next year
and their whole force has been rOced up-and We ad
wise them TO settle themselves down comfortably for
! long residence at their present quarters.
The Wings, however must be prepared for a tre-
mendous effort by their opponen!s next year. Let
not slumber on posts. Let u.s. while we have the
power, it for the good ofthe people and the whole
people, and be ever ready to maintain ourselves in
| Tie high position we haye taken. The reforms we
need cannot be accomplished in year-let us not
sacAen in effort until we have completed the work.
