Conceding TINT the result in the four
States that voted on Tuesday is all that
the Radicals claim, we are yet by no means
ready 10 dispair OF the future. The official
footings will show, when compared with
the hgures Of 1864 aud 1896. a large and
encouraging Democratic gain in the popular
vote. They will show another thing that
the Democratic party has polled a larger
vote in those States Than il ever polled be-
fore. With all the government patronage
against us-both State and nationai--we have
yet gained in the affections and confidence
Of the people. We have gained voters at
the polls and strength IN the popular branch
of the National Legislature. And If the
Democrats are true to themselves, as they
no doubt will be, we shall continue to gain
until our labors are crowned with victory.
The salvation Of the Union, the perpetuity
of free government and the well-being of
the people all demand hat the policy OF
the government shall be moulded in accor-
dance with the principles and theory of the
democratic party.
Let every friend ofright and good gov
eminent stand firmly by his principles aud
his convictions let him falter not in this
work of well doing let him never despair
while there is yet a hope for the nations
redemption. Let him never forget that on
hum rests the duty OF aiding the great work
Of perpetuating the liberties of the people,
and of transmitting the free institutions
which we have enjoyed to those who may
came after ms, not only unchanged but un-
impaired. II a vigilence as unremitting is
manifested in the future as in the past. the
hour will surely come when the watchmau's
cry Of "What of the night ?' will meet the
response of "Alls Well from q people
lisenthrnlled and a country redeemed.

A GREAT ISyEEuON.-Mr. j. L. Orchard,
OF Milwaukee, some time ago invented a ma
chime tor the manufacture of gas. which he
called the Universal Gas Machine. Upon
testing it was found to work 80 well that a
company was organized and the manufacture
OF the machines commenced. This was only
a few months ago, and now orders for the
machines are coming in rapidly. Many OF
them have been put up IN the city, and in the
country where there are no gas works, and
for lighting hotels, public buildings, manu-
factories, residences, mills, churches, etc,
they cannot be elualled. A full description
of the ms. hlne IL given to the readers OF this
paper, and those who have used them are
highly delighted
A lew evenings since the writer OF this saw
packing house OF Plankinton Il Armour, Mil
waukee. The single machine there supplied
gas to seventy-tiye burners, and twenty-five
were To be added. The entire building was
lighted 30 we'll that wOrkmcn could do the
cutting up and packing as well as by day
light, and the superintendent Of the works
declared he would not part with the machine
at any price. The cost Of the light as turned
ont ia very cheap cheaper even than gas,
and much cheaper than fluids, aud the ma
chine In perfectly safe. The light is bright,
but soft and mellow and pleasant, We do
not see how anybody who ID not in the yiein-
iy of gas works can get along without the
machine, and We know they would not do SC
long did they understand the merits of the
new machine.

The result should not be allowed to
plunge Democrats anywhere into dispair.
Far from il. IL should rather nerve them
with the sublime courage OF pure and sim
pie principle. We must not give up the
fight. We cannot. Our liberties are ut "a
stake by everything which makes life
dear to rs we are bound to fight the good
fight of conservatism until we lay hold OF
victory whether the day OF our victory be
near or far. We must finish our course.
Dun ultimate triumph is sure.
Nor is this all. The result of II state cleo
ton, going before a Presidential election in
the same year, is not, as experience has
shown, m unering precursor OF the result
of the Presidential election in the State the
latter result, on the contrary, has been
known to be the opposite of the former.
Pennsylvania herself, If we mistake not,
supplies a case in point. At any rate the
fact is incoutestnblc. And it Is easily ex-
planned. A State election, in tho first
place, may tun on State rather than on
national considerations, being always affect,
ed more on less by the former; and, in the
second place, the party that succeeds in
the state election, feeling secure. II more
apt TO relax its energies han its adversary

SAN FRAScIsco, Oct. 22.-The earthquake
is still the topic of conversation. A slight
tremor or two were felt to-day. The total
casualties worth mentioning do not exceed
thirty; only five deaths, though death may
yet result in one or two cases OF injury.
A committee of the Board of Supervise. s
and architects, to-day. held u survey of the
City Hall, engine houses aud other public
buildings. The examination of the City
Hall shows it badly cracked from the first
floor upwards. The arches were mostly
ruined. The post-oifico clerks resumed
their duties in the custom house building,
Had it not been for anchors and ties put
into the building after the earthquake,
probably the greater portion would have
fallen TO the ground.
The Merchants Exchange, On Battery
street, opposite the custom house, occupied
by United States Courts, was considerably
injured. There is q large hssuro in the
north wall. The building is on bad ground.
1t WAS severely shattered three years ago,
The new Merchants Exchange, on Califor-
mia street, was slightly injured.
The ornamental galoOn of the Bank OF
California was thrown down the balustrade,
and the chimneys removed. Although a
hundred buildings in the city are damaged
more or less, a thorough examination
proves tina those properly constructed will
stand much heavier shocks han those Of
yesterday. The Occidental and Cosmo,
politan hotels, the largest buildings in thu
city, nre ~uniniured, with the exception Of
the chimneys being thrown down aud the
plastering cracked slightly.
The damage to the city west of Mont
gomery street is large, The new building,
on Kearney street stood the shock, very
few showing signs OF any damage whatever
To-day's examination only confirms yes.

From the Ottawa Illl Republican,
A few days since, a young gentleman and

Everything being ready, the clergyman
aforesaid was abont 10 proceed with the

that she was minus her kid gloves, so

she requested her alliance to hasten to a
store and procure the indispensable kinds,
telling him to che in n hurry or she might

time for the return of the youth with the
gloves; he didn't come. They waited
longer, and still he failed TO put in an APP.
