The consolation the GAzETTE draws fron his

with carrying measure in a House OF Represen-

must bear the odium Of the measure, and the
Democratic party repudates 1t in toto. We re-

Eclorc and After.

The morning OF the day after
election in Ohio, says the Detroit
Free Press the New York Times
published a dispatch from Column
bus, saving that the Republicans
believed that il the total vote
reached 10 the neighborhood o!
AS, 900 they would carry the State
by from 10000 to 10000 majority.
II is further stated that the Repub-
leans looked upon three districts
as doubtful, the Second, Sixth and
Twelfth--one Of which was repre-
sented Ivy O Democrat. The Re-
publican Executive Committee
counted implicitly on the defeat Of
Banning, Democrat, in the Second
District. 1t was thought the other
two would be carried by the Demo-
cracy. giving net Democratic
gain of one. The Ninth District.
it was said, would most certainly
return Robinson, Rebuplican, and
the party at Columbus was deelar-
ell to be in fine trim. This careful
and candid survey Of the situation
We suppose it Vas intended for
such-does not read very well by
the side Of the actual returns. The
vote was a tolerably full one-prob-
ably going beyond 475,o0O-but
instead Of the Republicans it wa.
the Democrats who carried the
State by from 10000 to 10000
majority. The only districts which
the Republicans thought were
doubtful were carried Ivy handsome
majoiities by the Democrats; ant
FIVE others, which they though
| were sure Tor their candidates
elected the nominees of the Demo
cracy. We wonder what cause tht
! Republicans will assign for th,
crushing defeat they have sustain
ed--for the sad disappointment c

confess the true result, viz. tina

ed over. The citizens might well
have been discouraged at the blow
of their Young and growing city,
but no, each brick block stands rs
monument to the energy and
enterprise of those merchants who
lost SO much. 1t will not he long
before each of those vacant lots in
the burnt district will again be
built upon. Quite q number OF
frame dwellings are going up in
different parts Of the city.
What the citizens of Alpena
want, and what they must have Is
railroad. Eighteen months ago
when proposals were made to them
! for assistance to build road which
would give communication with
Grand Rapids, they promptly re-
sponded, and $4,000 was subscrib-
ell. The panic came or in the fall
and the promoters have not since
been heard from. AS things are
now, they are shut out from the
outer world during the winter sea-
son, the nearest railway commune
cation being 100 miles distant, and
to reach which they must take n
tedious journey by the stage. BY
running a railroad from here in a
southerly direction for about twen-
" miles, connection can he made
with the J. l.. g. s. railroad, which
opens up communication with all
parts of the States. This road
could be built nj comparatively
small cost, the land over which it
would pass being level, and it
would also open up fine produc-
tive country.

October Elections.

The returns from the elections in
several of the States, held last
week Tuesday, are Of the most
cheering nature. Everywhere the
dark cloud which has overhupg the
Democratic sky is clearing away,
and gives evidence Of brighter days
in the future. The Republican
majority has been greatly reduced
in Iowa, and Democrat has been
elected to Congress for the first
time in twenty years. West Nir-
cinia gives sweeping Democratic
victory, while Ohio has rolled mp a
$4,000 majority for the Democracy,
electing fourteen of the twenty-one
Congressman. Indiana bolts against
corruption by going $4,000 Demo-
cratic majority, and in both branch
es of the Legislature the Republi-
cans are now in the minority. Ar
kansas sends a thunderholt Of TO-
600 Democratic majority at Rad
icalism, and in fact their has not
been en- election this fall where the
Republicans have made gain.
This is nothing more than the
people look for, as ii is clear enough
that before we can have peace and
prosperity in the country, there
must he n change in the admins
tration Of our affairs as . nation.
