THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

Most of our readers have been so deeply
absorbed in the tidings of the fearful ca
Iamity that has befallen the great city of
the North West, that they have taken but
little interest in the very important cleo
tions of last Tuesday in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Iowa. The election was mainly
important because it was generally recog-
nized that they would have decisive bear
ing upon the great contest ofneXt year. In
each of the three States the Republicans
have won decided victory carrying
them by increased majorities. In
the election for Governor two years
ago the Republicans carried Ohio by
1901 majority. The returns thus far re-
ceived indicate a majority of over 10000, a
decided gain. We do not consider the
Ohio Legislature doubtful. The returns
show enough gains in theinterior counties
to control the Assembly, even should
Hamilton county be solidly Democratic.
Pennsylvania is Republican Oh light
vote. which makes her reliable for good
round majority for Grant next year. Iowa
rolled up her $1,000 majority; just what
might be expected of State without a
debt, with splendid free schools in every
civil district, with churches and beneVo-
lent associations of every kind, with rail-
roads and good highways, all the result OF
uubroken Republican rule. These cleo
tions, we say, foreshadow great Republl-
can triumph in 1872, and so the country
accepts them. We know that the terrible
excitement that prevailed in every town
and hamlet in the North over the dreadful
news from Chicago lessened very material
Iy the Republican vote and the magnitude
of our victories,

OUR Democratic neighbors down the
street have not said word about the new
departure at Nashville. We are at a loss
to account for it, as they generally notice
movements ofimportance. But they pub
fish a paper merely "as a matter of bust
ness" and perhaps they have not yet as
certained which side pays best. They may
be in some one of the many rings formed
to secure the public printing, and are afraid
to say which side they are on, as it might
affect their popularity before the Legisla-
ture. Until further developments, then,
we must content ourselves to remain in ig-
norance as to the position of our neigh
bors. aE& "a NE A Ek# f&ssE

LAST fall when Gov. Brown was can
wasting in East Tennessee, the people
were led to be ave, that he was man of
very Hberoi 5-isws. Hundreds of Union
Democrats TTSS551sd for him with the firm be-
lief. that he was a man of this character.
Even the Republicans regarded him asone
of the most liberal men of his party. 1t
was generally understood that he had been
nominated for that reason. But his in
augural, delivered in the spirit of cross
roads stump speaker, containing most
uncalIed for, unjust and untruthtul
attack ON previous administrations, show
him ND in a very different light The
spirit of his inaugural is in striking con-
trast with the valedictory of Gov oenter'
the spirit of which was commenueu ny
men of both parties. Until Gov. Brown
byhls acts or words unequivocally SPOKEN
corrects the impression now preValllng he
will be put down as partizan OF the mar
rowest capacity. . .-

About two millions day is the average of

making of the rascalities in the financial ad-
ministration of New York city. The plumb
ing and gas fitting of the new Court House
and the armories, foot,up, so far, over 81, $780,

The carpets that figure in the account would
reach from New York to New Haven, reck-

ing them at five dollars each would stretch
seventeen miles in a row.
