1t seems to me that the Committee OF Arrange.
ments for the Springfield regatta Of last week have
been subjected TO deal of unjust criticism on &C
count of their alleged error in laying out the finish
ing line OF the course. 1t does not seem to have
occurred to any who have written about the race
to inquire about the starting line and its position
relative to the finish. An inspection OF tho pub
lished maps Of the course shows that the lines ct
the start and the finish were parallel. Although
much complaint has been made Of this, neverthe
less IL IL right that these lines should be parallel
as is obvious from the accompanying diagram:-

AFTER THE ELECTION.

The Democrats or "Reformers," so
ealled, held a,,grand Notification at Mad
ison last Saturday evening over the
great victory they have achieved in the
election of" Farmer Taylor" and his
associates on the state ticket. As to
whether the triumph gained is to be
considered merely as reform victory
or genuine old fashioned Democratic
success, we leave the Hon. George B
Smith to say in the following extract
from his speech On the occasion
II take the Ohio horn of the dilem-
ma and call the victorious party the
Democratic party. We have waited
long for this event, it has come in all
the fal}ness Of It's sigaticance. x x
But if re don't reform the civil SER
vice when we CONE here next January
by sweeping he Capitol clean. it will
be because our goodness of heart gets
the better Of our judgment.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. IL, 1878.
THE ELECTION.

The ''Varieties" Ticketsin this state
headed by Farmer Taylor, has been
successful by majority ranging from
10000 to $4,000, and the Assem- ly
is Reform" by majority of from Is to
20, with the probabilities that there
will be a 'Retorm" majority in the
Senate of one. The sweep is a clean
one, and is accounted for In a great
many different ways, chief among
which is the very light vote that was
polled, for we find that although
Taylor's majority is SO large over
Washburn, yet his vote in the state
will hardly exceed that Of Greeley s
last year when Grant had majority of
over Is 600. The ticket successful
last week represents the party of
"Grea Expectations" and in the name
of Reform" is supposed to be able to &C.
complish great many different results.
The anti-temperauce men expect that
the first act of the new State government
Will be the repeal of the Graham Law,
while the temperance supporters of
Mr. Taylor expect that he will sane
ton still more strenuous law in favor
Of the cause they hold so near their
hearts. In like manner the railroads
which threw th cir influence 50 strong
II against Washburn, are not without
hope that they can carry things by storm
this winter under the new order of
things, asd on the other hand the anti
railroad men represented among the
Changers, who are to great extent
responsible for the success of the "mon-
greP' ticket, expect to accomplish great
things in favor of anti monopoly and
such like. And last, though by no
means least, few printing steals which
have hung fire for several years past
for want Of the right man in the ex
ecutive chair, are expected to so
through with rush and no questions
be asked. At best it is queer kettle
offsh, and the whole crowd is at
seand still to know what to do with
the victory. They evidently have an
elephant on as.their hands, aud if the
'sunholy alliance" don't get badly scat
tered before the session of the legisla.
ture is over, then we miss our guess.
En- this defeat the Republicans have
the proud consciousness Of knowing
that Mr. Taylor beat a good man, one
acknowledged on all sides to be the
best Governor Wisconsin ever had,
and that the party went before the peo-

and his failure, no doubt involves the
ruin of the Southern Pacific Railroad
project. A few weeks ago he returned
from Europe and it was announced that
he had successfully sold all the bonds
necessary for the building of this i'm

out to be erroneous. He failed in bis
efforts, and large amount of paper
that was issued before his departure
for Europe, in anticipation that he
would be successful in selling the bonds
has now gone to protest, and much of
it bore his personal endorsement.

THE RESULT I'm OTHER STATES

The result of the elections in New

briefly stated as follows: In New
York the Democratic state ticket is
elected by majority of some 1900,
aud in the City of New York the
Tammany ticket has succeeded over
the Apollo Hall Dem ocracy. The
legislature is Republican in both
branches by small majority. The
contest in New Jersey was for the leg
islature which the Republicans carried
By decreased majority. Massachu-
sets elects Governor Washburne, Re

about $4,000. In Illinois the election
was principally for County officers, the
Republicans carrying a majority OF the
counties.
There was fierce struggle in Chicago
over city officers, resulting in the
success of the Hesing-O'Hara ticket.
The Republican state ticket in Mime.
sofa, headed by Davis for Governor, is
elected by about 5000 majority, ex-

We wish to call the particular attention of
the pubic to the following peculiarities of
our stoves, in which they differ from all
others
1st. The Funnel Top, which is so con-

open, is completely prevented
I'd. The Magazine, or Feeder. is adjust-
BILE at the top, can be raised or lowered by
this means the quantity of coal on combus-

ure, accommodating the Stove to different
sizes OF coal, or suitine 1t to the varying
temperature of the weather.
3d. The Revertlble fues within the
walls ofthe Stove completely surrounding
the Fire-Pot, to receive the products of COM
bustlon and conduct them to the
base of the Stove are very important
features in the operations, and equal dis
tribution of the heat in all directions from
the stove. Very great Importance is attach
ed to this feature in The American, is
as it has been the subject of patent suit
three years pending in the United States
Court, and lately decided in our favor. We
feel, in justice to ourselves, to caution all
parties who are inclined to infringe this
construction of hues, to refrain from so
doing. as we shall hold all infringements to
a strict account
