THE PRESS ON THE ELECTIONS.

NEW YoRK, November 6.
The Tribune says, with three fourths OF
our Republican journals either neutral in the
contest or virtually telling their readers it
would be better for the Republican cause to
have the Republican ticket beaten this fall,
we could hardly expect to hold our own in
the State or city, but the detection In both is
far greater than could with reason have been
anticipated to let the election 60 BY default.
1t was held and argued by the trimmers and
camp followers that it would crush out what
they are pleased to stigmatize as Radicalism,
and render inevitable the nomination of Gen.
and calculations have kept fifty thousand
voters from the polls and insured the over
whelming defeat Of our State ticket.
The Times says, on the State ticket for
Secretary of State the vote of the State of
New York yesterday went Democratic by an
aggregate majority ranging from the present
figures and estimates at $4,000 10 28 600.
The Herald says New Y York, with her large
financial interest, declares against the party
Of debt and taxation, and rebukes the at
tempt to place the Southern States of the
Union under the heel of African barbarism.
The World, says by yesterdays work the
Empire State has placed herself at the head
of the noble army of the commonwealth,
whose mission has been here and now to stay
the hands of the architects of ruin, and
whose mission will be in the year and the
contests that are to come, to redeem and
restore the Union and establish peace and
representative self government throughout
ali its borders.
The Peat thinks this manifestation of the
people will mete the passing chastisement
intended, to rebuke their faults, and bring
them back to moderation, common sense
and the policy commenced.
The Advertiser accuses the managers of the
Republican party of improyidently and
thriftIessly scattering what cost so much
care and toll to save; but with this defeat
our winter of discontent-and under better
auspices, the approaching canvass will be
made glorious summer. Shaking itself free
from membranes, the Republican party res
organized, reformed and purified, will assert
its devotion to the Union aud unfurl the
Grant banner, and fight out the Presidential
campaign on this line.

ELECTION RETURNS.
ILLIu

CHICAGO, Nov. ..
The following is condensation Of the
Chicago Trfbune's summary of the election
returns: The city election in this city result.
ed in q complete Republican victory. GEM
eral Osborne's majority for Treasurer is near
ly four thousand. The vote for Judge of the
Superior Court was comparatively close, but
Mr.. Porter's majority is something over TOO
in the city and will be increased by the coun.
ty towns. Tie remainder Of the Republican
ticket is elected BY large msjorities.
The election in Illinois was for State and
County officers. The returns show Demo-
cratic gains everywhere. The indications
throughout the State are that if the election
had been a general one the Democracy
would have been victorious. In Chicago the
Republican majority for County Treasurer is
but 1884, while one year ago on Congress>
man it was 1901. The majority against
Judge Wilson is but e02. The result shows
that the revolution is not as great in the West
as in the East, but that it is fairly com
menced here.

Out of Place.

Thousands seek to become some.
podies Though the avenue of profes-
sional life and the professional life is
full of nobodies." The pulpit is crowd
ed with goodish nobodies-"- en-
who have no power, no JUNCTION, no
mission. They strain their brains to
write common-places, and wear them
selves out repeating the rant Of their
sect and the cant Of their schools. The
bar is cursed with " nobodies " as much
as the pulpit. The lawyers are few;
the pitifoggers many. The bar more
than any other, medium, is that thro'
which the ambitious youth of the
country seek to obtain emineuce. Thou
sands go into the study of the law, not
40 much for the sake of the profession
as for the sake of the advantage it is
supposed to give them for political pre-
ferment. An ambitious boy who has
taken it into his head to be " somebody"
always studies law as soon as he is
" admitted to the oar," he is ready to
begin his political scheming. Multi
tudes of lawyers are a disgrace to the
profession and a curse to the country.
They lack brains necessary to make
them respectable, and the morals re-
quisi:e for good neighborhood. They
live on quarrels, aud breed them that
they may live. They have spoiled
themselves for private life, and they
spoil the private life around them.
As for the medical profession,
tremble to think how many enter Z
because they have neither piety enough
for preaching, nor brains enough to
practice law. When 1 think OF the
great army of little men that is COM
missioned to go forth into the world
with case of sharp knives in one hand
and magazine of drugs in the other,
l have sigh for the human race.
Especially is all this lamentation when
we remember that it involves the spoil.
ing of thousands of good farmers and
mechanics to make poor professional
men, while those who would make good
professional men have to attend to the
simple duties Of life, and submit to the
preaching that neither feeds nor stimu.
lates them, and medicine that kills or
fails to cure them. --.-...r -. r.. ,
