WASHINGTON, o.. Il,
Ine news Of the elections astests tllat the
fears OF the people arc triumphant, and that
thev get SEQ no compensatiug reason for
abandoning tho Repus1ican organization. The
iong-vanquished, uuseasoning, malignant enc
u'les OF tho new state Of things on this con,i-
uent, called by mockeEy Of terms the Do
mocsacy, have recovered nc hold upon voters
~ any new position which they have seized.
Their platforms arc coutriveJ good deal ike
stage ecenesies, easily adjustable, capable OF
presenting anF picture at tho ready tsnk1e OF

seillaiee " and !" uaI Columbia" but the people
observe On the bills that tha actora sre the
~smc, and the pIaywriyhts no better, md they
tuEn deaf ear when tue spidtrs cay walk
into our rAtior." 1t is very doubtful that tue
Democratic parts, AT such, vii! ever again
achieve national triumph, and get 1t is by uo
meane assured that the late elections Indicate
absolute satisfaction with things as thev are.
The best intelligence OF this country, while it
Abtlors the Democratic pit, il engaged upon
como very c.:taous reheciio:ls Us to what ths
two movements are exciting 80
much interest ~ the reorganization Of
Illinois under constitution winch dsaoerses
with party bob-tai!s, and the reaNakenins OF
Missouri under Gratz Brown and the lntel1i-
gent magnanimits Of the better citizens. Let
freeident Grant look between the tl1ee gre4t
Western cities for signs Of tho weatEler, eto
he is co1nfortkd with tho notion that his a1-
miuistt1tion il absolutely endorsed. The coa-
science OF the country Ia profoundly moved
upon ut least two topics, neither OF which the
President has kept hia fsith upon, tho selee-
ton Of municipal and local officers with less
OF with little regard to parts outlines. and the
absolute reform of our national evil service.
