THE ELECTIONS.
HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED.


Scenes md incidents Of Yesterday,
Washington never witnessed q more ex- |
citing time than ltdid lastnight Tho streets |
were thronged during the evening with peo- |
pic moving to and from the points where
news Of yesterdays elections could be oh.
tanned; and yet, In spite of.the interest at.
tachug and the anxiety to know the result,
very few persons were disappointed.
The Rcpublcansh had all confidently counted
upon victories In all the States to vote yester.
day, and as there are now but few who arc
brave enough to avouch themselves Demo.
Gratis. OF course, only the few were dlsap-
pointed. All day yesterday the Republicans
were quietly confident. The Democrats, 10
order to keep their courage to the sticking
point, had fortified themselves with a rash
amount Of vile whisky and were consc-
Qucntly noisy In their demonstrations.
The election In this city passed of quietly
The result, and the splendid triumph of the
Republicans, will be found recorded else
where In the columns of the REPUBLICAN.
As soon rs the polls had been closed the peo-
pie generally wendell their way to the points
where news was the most readily obtained,

A BABY ON DICKENS MODEL.-It was q
peculiarly Of this baby to be always cutting
teeth. Whether they never came or whether
they came and went away again Is not In evil
dcnCe, but II had certainly cut enough on the
showing Of It's mother to make a handsome
dental provision for the sign OF the Bull and
Mouth All sorts Of objects werl Impressed
for the rubbing Of Its gums, Notwithstanding
that II always carried dangling at Its waist
(Which was Immediately under Its chin a
bone ring large enough to have represented
the rosary Of a young nun. Knife handles
umbrella tops, the heads Of walking sticks
selected from the stock the fingers Of the
family, nutmeg graters, Crusts the handles
Of doors and the cool knobs on the tops Of
pOkers were among tue COmmOncst lnstru-
ments unfortunately applied for the baby's
relief. The amount Of electricity that must
have been rubbed out Of 1t In week Is not
10 be calculated. Still It's mother always said,
ut was coming through, and then the child
would be herself, aud still II never did come
through, and the child continued to be some
body else.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 26.-The Ger
mans of Nashville held meeting last
night, c. c. Guise presiding, P. K.
Albert and August Mickle secretaries.
Speeches were made in favor of Greeley
and Brown and the Liberal Republican
movement Dy j. B. Johns, General Traure-
RIGHT and others. Resolutions were
adopted renOuncing all former party
alliances and assuming a position of
neutrality until a new party may
be formed based upon honest principles and
true Republicanism; indorslng the platform
of the Cincinnati convention, and pledging
their support to Greeley and Brown; con-
graduating the country upon the passage of
a general amnesty law as one of the good
effects of the Cincinnati convention; ex-
pressing gratitude to Mr.. Greeley for his
course during the Franco German war; de-
claring they will support no man for Office
of any kind merely because he is party
candidate, but will vote for the best and
most honest man.

Voorhees, Latest Speech.

This is a special to the Chicago Tribune.
New YORK, May 26.-The Times lauds
Voorhees, speech. All the Democratic
papers but the World denOunce it. The
Sunday Mercury, strongly Bourbon in it's
tendencies, says: dan w. Voorhees,, the
paid ally of radicalism, delivered himself
last night of a whole bagful of sOphOmorical
badinage, for which act he either has or
will be paid. We heartily cOnmiserate the
good people of Terre Haute, in Indiana, that
they seem to have been compelled to listen
to Dams subsidized oratOry under the en-
barrassing circumstances which now sur
round him. From the time that he ap-
peared in the Virginia courts to defend one
Of John Browns agents, and failed in saving
him from the gallows, to the present hour,
Voorhees, eloquence has been something of
the blunderbuss order. 1t hits backward
OfteDest and hurts himself the most All
that Voorhees, can do is to earn the price to
be paid for his disOrganizing course, and be
that never SO little, it will be too much for
what he is worth"

The money market presents no new fea-
ture. The demand for discounts continues
fair both in bank and on the street. In the
former all offerings of approved paper are
are readily accepted, but on the latter.
while AL notes secured by unquestionabIe
cOllaterals are readily negotiated, second
| class paper, or paper with cOllaterals of
questionable sOlidity can not be placed with
out difficulty even at outside rates. An
unusually large proportion of the offerings
at the banks consisted of long paper. The
range of the discount market may be quoted
at g 0l0 p cent " annum for first-class and
AL paper, with OF without cOllaterals; IL q u
for less desirable names, but hardly to be
classed as second grade; second grade at

was offered at 9l2.
The gold market was more active than

1885, against ll4ls at New York. The re-
