The reaction against the republican par

has moi yet made its appearance. The
loss Of New Hampshire was not the be-
ginning Of a reactionary movement but an
exceptional case. The elections which
have followed in the east and west show
the republican party as strong as ever-in
the west stronger, The Philadelphia
American and Gazette sums up the re-
suit OF the recent elections in all parts OF
the country and finds the evidence to
be against reaction "There is no such
