THE RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS.
The loss of eight or nine Representa-
tiyes will not materially affect the status
of the And Congress. The Republicans
still retain a sufficient majority fol
working purposes. We have nothing
to complain of returns. The Free Irads
League was one of the means OF Demo
cratic success and there is no doubt but
large SUMS have been spent under Its
direction against Republican nominees.
The Republicans, since the election OF
Grant in 1868, have been resting, neglect
ing their organizations while Democrats
have been doubly diligent in their work.
These warnings come in good time, and
we feel that 1872 will fad us strong
handed again with earnest supporters OF
protection to native industry and Grants
economy in the administration of the
government. H
