The result of the election may well be
imagined upon Polk & Co., at Washington.
The "patriotc" Vice President, who dis
rlayed such "Roman Firmness" in giving
the casting vote on the Tariff, can now see
what his immediate constituents think OF
the "high and holy motives" which gov.
erned his actions.
The Washington Union, Folks organ
before the election, was confident of Sue
cess, and boastngly talked as follows
"The Democracy Of Pennsylvania are bestirr.
ing themselves, and organizing in considerable
force" 1.-THE skies are bright" "We have
not heard the farmers complaining Of the Tariff
of 1885, 1.-THE panic is dying a natural
DEATH"
Its tune is somewhat changed, and it now
discourseth as follows:
awe greatly apprehend that The eclipse OF the
Pennsylvania Democracy, on Tuesday, has been
nearly total, and that nearly all parts OF the
State have shared alike in the interesting phe

branches Of the State Legislature. 1t would be
an idle afectation on our part 10 disguise that
we feel disappointed. but deeply mortified at this
result. 1t has taken place in the face OF the
previous information we had received and let
the National Intelgencer now twt US as it

predictions which were made in the Union, yet
we frankly and conscientiously assure it. we par.

cal friends who have been long and particularly
with the politics OF Pennsylvania
and that we would not have dared TO express such
presenliments about State with whose local..
lies we were not acquainted, unless we had
relied upon gentlemen OF acknowledged integ.
rity and information. One OF these has empha-
cally informed us, to-day, that he was never
more disappointed in his life. 1t is consoling
however, to be assured, that these reverses have
occurred wild perhaps the smallest turn out that
has taken place in this State for many years.
md on poll less-perhaps by nearly one half
han that given at the Presidential election oil
1914. In many counties. we are assured. owing
o the violence OF the storm, not one voter in
our was at the polls. We doubt not, when the
eturns are all in. it will be found that so slim
n attendance Of voters has not comparatively
AIKEN place in any State for many years. One
'ennsyvanian tells US, 10 day. he should not be |

we're absent from the polls"
The Republican thinks that storm came
It about as opportune time to serve as an
lpology for an overwhelming defeat, as the
passage of the British Tariff Bill, by Con.
,ress, to produce an extraordinary demand

ance of prices in this country, although it
o happens that the aforesaid Tariff does
