most a. complete luil in politics; here
the situation has been cheerfuIy accept
! ed by all, save q few winners who still
insist That foul play was used, that the

voted the Democratic ticket are really
at -heartreioiced at the splendid success
| of the Republicans, and are relieved of
any dread of change from our present
prosperous condition. Politicians have

orally express themselves satisfied, with
the course of. the administration SO far,
and all they want is another term of the
