hold altogether IL is almost certain that politics will be

DANXs'S DEFEAT OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
Gen. Bank,'s triumph is simply overwhelming. He
carries every town in his district. with exception,
aud has wrought a change of 1000 votes when
pared with the contest Of two years ago The Admins
tration tactics essentially aided him the canvass.
The work OF putting him'down was 80 largely Overdone
that 1t wrought an Immense reaction in his favor. The
Office holders swarmed into the district. Mr. Dawes
was drawn down from the hills Of Berkshire, and Mr.
Blaine with all the prestige Of his national power and
position was imported from the East Never
we're greater odds piled up against
didate. Added 70 this. money became almost
an embarrassment plentiful the supply In which
1t was sent To make assurance doubly sure,
scores hundreds colonized into the NavyYard
and put to service at Government
No such spectacle was ever seen in Massachusetts,
FORE and judging from the result OF the experiment,
none likely TO be again for an indefinite period in the
future. Gen. Banks stood up bravely In the face OF all
this and with majority OF 1900 votes against him to
overcome, he came out OF the contest with $500
majority. II will be hard to lind parallel to this
ACHE vement But q large part OF his strength came
from sympathy with one apparently 80 oyermatched,
yet lighting so pluckily.
