BATH-The Times says: Gel. Bailay recev-
ed the support of the democrats, the Working

chievous politician. The votes of those cit-
gems who believed that the interests of the
whole country are best subserved by preserv
ing the republican party intact, were given to
Mr.. Robinson. They have looked above and
beyond any mere personal considerations;
they have looked to the future and its hopes;
and judging the future by the past, they feel
assured that the republican party should retain
the ascendency, and wisely determined that
as far as they were concerned it should not be
assassinated in the house OF its friends.
