IEtoua tue Ne~ York Ge2:71. .eial Adseztt*er.]
We condense from careful, prepared arti.
Gle in the Tribune on ''the results Of the State
elec.iou," the facts embodied in The following:
In the Presidential election OF 1886, when Col.
Fremont was the Republican candidate, ul-
though he received p1urnlty Of about $4,000
votes. tic combined vote Of buchanan ard Fill.
more exceeded his by some 5000. III 1s57, the
Republican minority was nearly $1,000. In
1858, the gubernatorial vote for the Democratic
and american candidates exceeded that Of Ar.
Morgan, the Republican candidate, by neariy
1900. Therefore, from the organization Of the
party in 1856 up to the last election, the RePub-
lican minority in the Statc has been about
45,n00.
For the Stn.e election this year the Democrats
and Republicans each nominated q Glenn ticket,
there being nine officer, upon it, The AueFi-
eau Convention selected tlieir candidates from
these two tickets, taking five from the Rcpnb!-
can and four from the Democratic tlcket--the
latter being the Secretary Of State. Canal Com
missioner, State Engineer and State Prison H.
specsor. The Republican candidates for these
four Offices bad therefore to encounter the COM
bined opposition of the Democratic and -Ameri-
can parties, this being the first time they hare
thus tried their strength against the two par
ties combined. Three Of the officers were cleo
ted By an aTerage majority Of less thnn ono
thousand, while the Republican candidate for
the fourth. the State Prison Inspector, has q

ponents. As The combined Democratic and
American vote in 1856 was full $4,000, and in
1865 tun 44,eeo maiority, and but loco in 1859
it is clear that the Republican gnin this year il
44,ooo upon 1856, and IS ,ooo upon 1858.
It is also pretty evident that q large nunb bel
Of Americans Toted the clean Republican ticket,
and it is highly probable that many more will
do 50 in 1850, from the conviction which mus,
force itself upon their minds that their own
party principles and organization are virtually
abandoned, and that the Republican party is
rapidly and surely acquiring ascendancy in the
State. We could scarcely desire more en-.
couraging prospect, and We hellers, with the
Tr4bunt, that the electoral vote ot this state il
surc to be giren to the Republican candidatef fol
the Presidency in 1860.

Press AND TT1rUSE touching the manner in

Bryan's now Ausic Hall, during the storm on

ment from Ar. B. md others, which we are
glad to print in the local column. Referring
to them, it will be seen that unusual care was
taken by Nr. Bryan himself and by his masoa
10 ensure good work and permanent struc-
ture; and that the probable cause Of the dis
uster was the neglect Of somebody to thor
oughly wet the bricks used in the wall before
they were laid up. Put in dry, they at once
absorbed the moisture Of tile mortar and de-
stroyed al its valuable properties as cement
This neglect is 50 common in Chicago that it
is hardly cause Of complaint; but now that
tue consequences arc made so apparent it is
not too much to hope that those guardians Of
the public safety within whose province suel,
Legislation falls, will provide penalty which
will be as good as an insurance that such ne
glcct shall cease. In the case Of which NC
speak, the rnnsons probably did as all the ma
sons are in the habit Of doing; and SO far are
exempt from blame; but with good brick in
Their hands, good mortar and carte blanche as
to expense, surely better work ought to be
done, on public buildings at least Fortunately
no lives hare been lost By the disaster. If it
