MORNING HE X A ID.


The elections.
No,bipp can be attended 10 at thepresent moment
hut the elections Every tongue, every eye every
mind, every thought, engaged IN me eiec'ioh''
WHAT'S the result in Georgia. Can yen tell nae no"
New Jersey has gomez Are you sare mat fof'er Is
elected Do tell, is Ohio gone for the iocefocosf
These are the questions in every mouth-on every
lp You hear them al the hotels, in Broadway, down
Wall street every where Merchants, brokers, BANK
ers LAWYERS, shoemakers, tanners, cafrlers, iaois
saints sinners rascals, and honest men, are al en-
gagged in the elections. Even the fair ones themselves
the lovely roses OF human exstence-the ruby peaches
of this lowly world-woman, ever chafnhlns anu
ever interesting-paru in the latest iashiohS-
are asking in their soft small voice, enough 10 coax
nm angel from the sky" do, tell have the l@cofocos
carried Ohio y Yes, my loves, am AFRAID 'hey
have carried Ohio, and with Ohio all the powder ana
pufIery that we had laid up TO celebrate the great
results of 1888.
There is no denying the fact. The wings are beat
in Pennsylvania-beat in Malne-neXt 10 beat IN
New Jersey-very doubtful in Georsia-and almost
ms bad as doubtful in Ohio With a good cause-a
noble cause-an excellent cause, they are Ike
steamer on lee Shore without fuel, full of passen-
gers, wrong in heir reckoning and ready 10 run into
Newport or any port
How comes this result! There must have been
some bad management somewhere. The revolution
that begun in this city, IN the spring OF 1887, went
over the country in that year and had taken root deep
enough as we thought, TO send Mr.. V an Buren, back
teKnderhook to tend his cabbages and 10 carry his
carrots to market. Eut alas the picture is now re-
yersed-and the world seems 10 be going backward TO
locofecosm. What is the cause Of all thlsl How
comes il that Ohio and New Jersey and Pennsylva-
MIA have all gone wrong2 We must seek the causes
m the bad conduct Of the leaders-buI must not
visit their sins upon their thick heads and Any hearts
until after the election. When MessIs. Charles
King & Co.. the jewellers at the Astor House, IN No
vember 1887 became iAseent in the hour of victory,
and urged forw ard candidate anticipation of the
great party whose cause they seem TO support only
10 damn, the friends Of General Harrison in those
three states went forth from the wings, and the wings
as a party, fall to the ground and as,snlshed al
the natural resalt of insolence and lmpudence.
The conduct of certain whg leaders IN tbs city,
has for year past Disguised the nation, and defeated
their party Yet let the wings not despair. If the
lessons they have been now taught can produce
wholesome effect they may yet preserve Their ascen.
dancv in New York and defeat both Cambreieng ard
Marcy But the victory is not 10 be won without pru-
dence and energy. They must pull OIL their jackets
YEA everything, down 10 their very breecnes. The
locofecos are confdcH, of carrying both city and
county. Theyare not so sure as they imagine. II the
wings, by unity and energy, can carry the city ane
the state, by any kind Of majority, by The skin OF
their teeth, by hook or by crook, their ascendancy
may yet be preserved. Let the other states 60 as
they pease-turn as they please-kck up Their tails,
like bufaloes in a day, as they please. If the
wings hold on 10 New York, they will yet carry the
presidency.
As an impartial observer, we would advise them
net TO visit the bad conduct-the insoeni behavior
Of the Wall street clique with that condemnation
which il merits, till after the coming election. Sac
rifce every thing for the present Lick your old foes,
The lecofocos frst-then take time hereafter and sci
things to rights in Masonic Hall. Not a moment is
to be ost-be up and doing. Remember this axiom
New York firm for the wings, all will yet be
whig-New York for the locofocos, all is gone 10 the
devil"
