We join most earnestly with the great
mass of our people In rejoicing that the
excitement and turmoil OF the election Is
over, that the blare OF trumpets, the rattle
Of drums, the shouts of men will cease 10
salute our ears, and that the voice Of the
stump orator will no longer be heard In
the land. We are always glad to see
evidence that the people take deep inter-
est In important elections, but these noisy
demonstrations become very wearIsome to
quiet people, and even to.the people en-
gagged In them, and a Sigh Of relief big as
the breath Of the whole people Is always
Sreathed when they are at last all over.
Business has been somewhat affected by
he excitement and social enjoyment has
seen in a measure interfered'wlth. Let us
get to work in earnest once more and lei
the energy which has been turned in the
direction of saving the country, be turned
toward the building up of new enterprises
and the infusion Of new life and vigor into
those already established. Aud let the
evenings be once more times Of social en-.
Ioyment, when the heroes ofthese political
battles shall DO once more welcomed back Ia
the scenes from which they have beer
temporarily drawn away by the caucus, the
Committee and the Club meeting.
And yet once more, and above all. in
the words of our reelected President, "Lei
us have peace" More or less OF bitter.
ness lie always engeudored in such a con.
test. Let this die away at once and for all
time, and let men meet each other with az
cordial hand-shake as II they had never
been opposed to each other. The Repub.
licans have won such a victory as should
I'LL them with magnanimity as well as joy,
while the Democrats cannot lud ii in theii
hearts to mourn long or bitterly over the
defeat Of Horace Greeley. Then "let us
have peace"

The signs OF a crisis In England, says
the Inter OCEAN, have multiplied OF late 50
rapidly that the course which events NAV
take there next year will be watched BY
Americans with unusual interest. II Is
not alone that the Industrial labor troubles
still continue without abatement, but that
the agricultural movement, which Is really
a revolution, assumes daily wider dlmen-
sions. The dull PEASANT, the last bulwark
Of landed privilege aud power, has risen to
assert the rights Of labor, and formed into
II compact body. This Introduces into the
already complicated British politics one
more element, and that the most dangerous
Of any. There Is not half the menace In
the attitude of the journeymen bakers Of
london, the iron mouldors of Birmip CHAM,
or the coal miners of Wales aud New
Castle, rs In that of a rural prOetariat
suddenly become sensible Of It's oppression.
The prospects, for IA gre 4 struggle be-
tween the arislOcratic and moneyed classes
on the one side, and the laboring millions,
the "swarthy son of toll on the other,
seem thus to be Increasing, especially as
there are other influences to be considered.
In spite of the national wealth and the
commercial and Industrial prosperity of
the country, only very small minority OF
the people of Great Britain eau look for
ward to the approaching winter months
without the most serious misgyings.
BY a singular combination OF unfavor-
able circumstances the cost of living
threatens TO become unprecedentedly high.
! The potato crop may be considered total
failure, aud the bulk Of the population in
England and ireland will thus be without
the vegetable which constitutes It's main
article Of food. The price of beef and
mutton has already reached a figure un.
known since 1915, and as the cattle dis
ease has lately broken out In England,
butchers meat will soon DO beyond the
means of all save the richer classes.
The wheat harvest also has this ysat
fallen twenty-five per cent short of the
average yield, and must make bread scarce
and dear. But the most serious misfor.
tune is the increase cost OF coal, an article
which is 40 extensively consumed by rich
and poor, high and low, that a rise in II
may almost be considered in the light of O
public calamity.

acted upon, and that the slowness and
mistakes which have marked the taking

The Result in Delawnre-Mnnage-
ment OF the Campaign.

That Delaware should have enrolled
herself In the list Of Republican States on
Tuesday is a fact nothing short Of remark
able, aud we believe that notwlthstaL ding
the claims that she would do so BY certain
enthusiastic Republicans, the result on
Tuesday was as complete a surprise 10
most Of the members Of the successful
purity as II was TO those Of tho defeated.
That the Democratic disgust with Greeley
should have resulted in giving the electoral
vote Of the State to Grant and Wilson is
probably not surpr sing, but that the
Republican candidate for Congress should
hlye been chosen in the face Of the fact
that two years ago Mr.. Biggs, Democrat,
was elected by majority Of 24SS is simply
astonishing.
There cannot be any doubt that this re-
suit was in great measure due 10 the
c1nsummate ability and indefstigable in
dustry which have marked the Republican
management of the campaign. The Re-
publican party was fortunate in having al
the head Of Its State Committee a man
thoroughly conversant with business and
with politics, and who carried to the work
of running the campaign the habits and
practice Of the successful man Of business
and the knowledge Of men and parties
that enabled him to secure the most Ell
eient aud active cooperation in all parts
Of the State and TO secure unity Of ac-
tion and purpose throughout his party
rarely If ever exhibited before in this
State. In city politics, Mr. II. F. Pickles
has long been N acknowledged power,
but his management OF this campaign
will make him ever hereafter one Of the
strong mtn Of his party in this State, and
there is certainly no nan within the ranks
Of that patty who has mole thoroughly
earned the gratitude Of its members and
candidates.
The Democrats on the other hand inform
us that their compaign was weakly con-
Quoted. The chairman Of the State com.
mittee, Mr.. Cochran, however competent,
was inaccessible on account Of residing
out of this city, the recognized head-quar.
tiers Of both parties, while we are told by
a gentleman who has held a prominen
place in the eounsels of the party tina
several of their ablest men refused to con.
tribute dollar toward the expense, oil
speak a word for the advancement of the
campaign. There may be another side lC
this question, and the active managers oil
the campaign may be able to show that they
worked indefatigably, but be this as 1t may
Democrats hereabouts are censuriBg then
with great severely aud vieing with TIT
Republicans in praisng the skill, tact AND
ability which have marked the manage
menI of the shrewd General of their op
poneHts forces.
