inmates of the Soldiers Home, at Dayton,
Ohio, only two ballots bore the name OF
Vallandigham.
GH A wag, since the late elections, has
fitted the Copperheads with the best name
they have ever worn. He calls them the
Seymourners.
GT The depositors in the savings banks
of Connecticut number 10000, and over
$4,000 900 of their savings are invested
in United States bonds.
gW The Democrats of Oswego, New
York, had prepared full-sized efigy of a
negro to burn in honor of their victories
in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio, but
the exhibition was indefinitely post
poned.
rs Mr.. Seymour, of Utica, is no longer
in the watermelon line. Four States
which are reckoned "some pumpkins !"
have descended upon him with a squash
Hartford Post.
sW General Fitzpatrick said, in speech
in New York, the other day, that it would
make gains under existing circumstances,
as it would be for Horatio Seymour to set
dozen rotten eggs under tin rooster and

gy- The Nation (Democrat) says the
Democracy have no hope left. except with
in the limits of New York city, that Hof-
| mans defeat is ensured by the decisive
Republican victory in Pennsylvania, and
that no selling out by Mr.. Seymour can

~ The Paris Temps is very sensible
| paper it says "To judge from the news
which reaches us by every steamer, we
cannot arrive at any other conclusion than
that General Grant, the candidate of the
party OF liberty, will be elected by an
overwhelming majority. God be praised
for it."
pB The Toronto Globe thus sums up
the result Of the October elections in the
United States: The result of these cleo
tions is quite as favorable to the Republic
cans as could have been expected. The
success of Grant and Colfax is now, if it
was not before, a foregone conclusion.
No intelligent politician can longer doubt
it."

that, to the Democratic State Central
Committee, urging that the influence u
the committee be exerted to cause the
retirement of Seymour and Blair, and the
substitution of Chase and Adams"
eB At Republican meeting held in
New York city, on the evening of the
Goth, Hon. Mr.. Brewster, of Pennsylvania
said that Grant recently addressed friend

declare to be my policy, that such de-
gree Of peace and tranquility shall exist
in this country, that man may speak his
mind In any part OF our great land, an6
that without nolestation or hindrance."
