WASHINGTON.
The Safe BurgIars-An Important
Telegram Stolen I'm Court.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-In the safe bur-
glary trial to-day more kilograms were in
troduced in connection of Harrington,
Shailer and Cunz to the parties on trial.
Leonard Whitney and Mr.. Shireler were
examined as to telegrams which had passed
through their Offices. Harrington called
for the originals of the telegrams sent by
him. They were furnished, and when re-
turned one of the most important was miss
ing.
The Peniteniary Bird that Did the
Bob.
Riddell presented documentary evidence
that ShIbley had engaged the man Will
burglary; that Miles was convicted of ar
son and burglary and sentenced to Auburn
prison for ten years, and he was pardoned
ont at the solicitation Of Whitley, and, feel
ing under obligation to him, committedthe
burglary at his request. Davidge objected
to the proof of their authenticity, but the
court decided the papers were properly au-
thenticated.
The EeIectiOn ResuIts-New RePubIi-
can Programme.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
Some of the Presidents friends have al
ready began to plan the policy of the CON-
ing session of Congress, and have agreed
that the Civil Rights bill shall be passed
as a most important measure to secure the
Southern States for the Republican party.
After this they propose that a stringent
Civil Service bill shall be passed TO secure
the retention Of the present Republican in
cumbents in Office in the event Of future
changes in the Administration. 1t is ar
gUed, however, that under any circumstaa-
ces the Senate will remain Republican, and
that Democratic legislation will, there
fore, be impossible, but the feel
ing of anxiety in Republican cir
cles is so evident as to become a matter
of common remark. The President him.
self in conversation to-day admitted his
chagrin at the result of the election, and
there is good authority for the statement,
no less than some Of his immediate init
mates, that be will, al the proper time, in
dicate his preference for E. B. Washburne
as his successor. In his message TO Con
greSs next month he will, according to the
same authority, take such grounds against
the Credit MObilerites and similar cOrrup-
tionists of the Republican party as to di-
rect attention to Washburne as one of the
few pure and incorruPtible men of that
party in whose record no tarnish is to be
found.
Senator Thurman Serenaded.
Tonight a large crowd, headed by a
band of music, serenaded Senator Thur
man, who, in response, made happy, hu-
morous speech, in which, among other
things, he said the fearful voters of MaSsA-
chusetts had been so intimidated by the
Ku-Klux that they could not be induced to
90 TO the polls to vote Tuesday.

The Interest I'm the Election
Just held is hardly second to that manifest
ed in a Presidential contest. Large crowds
last night frequented the offices of Newspa-
per Row to learn the result, and as the re-
turns soon began to show an overwhelming
Democratic triumph there was a percepti-
BILE increase of Democratic enthusiasm, and
also of the number of Democrats. Last
winter only forty or fifty persons in this
district were ready to put their names to
memorials asking an investigation by Con-
gress of the District Ring; but last evening
a much larger force was ready to join in
the rejoicings of the victorious refOrmers.
Gentlemen who for many months had
taken only languid interest in politics
discovered all of a sudden that the country
was saved, or soon would be saved, if the
next House Of Representatives should be
Democratic.
As the day wore away the sun shone
brighter ant. brighter, as if it were the
Sun Of AusterIifz
itself. The returns came in confirming the
good news of the night before. The Re-
publicans smiled. Those who could paid
up their bets, while the Democrats con-
graduated each other, and continued to
increase and multiHly in ratio much faster
than anything recorded in Biblical history.
By tonight they were strong enough to
hire band of music and take the field.
One Of Those Things That no FeIIah
Can Find Out.
A full thousand, with the intelligence that
has made them such powerful factor, of
late years, in all national questions and
contests, they marched to Judge Thurman's
residence, on New York avenue, 10 give
him a serenade. Why they did not first
90 and serenade Grant, who really has
done something to help the Democracy in
the canvass, it would puzzle the Office
hating wire-pullers of the serenade to an
swer. But to Thurman, who was guiltless
of any injury to either party, they went, and
were rewarded by a half-hour's speech.
The Senator made a strong point on the
internal plot of Attorney General VIII
liams' outrage mandatory, gotten up in
order to in6ame the North against the
South, but did not LET his audience know,
that, though he was here most of the time,
he had not uttered to the country one word
rs an Ohio Senator and truth-lOving man
to expose this hellish conspiracy. The
speech was a rambling one, not very forci-
bic or digniiied, but it mad one or two
shrewd points. There was a special e1m-
pliment to the Independent press, which
dove-tailed very well with the morning
visit to Newspaper Row; and there was an
affecLionate mention of
His Friend, MT. COnkIing,
who has rarely lost an opportunity in the
Senate to insult him, and through him the
Democracy of Ohio. At the time agreed
Oh by the wire-pullers, some one in the
crowd cried out, "Three cheers for Mr..
Thurman. the next President of the United
States" to which about olie-third Of the
thousand persons present responded in
hurrah of very moderate and perfGnction-
ary enthusiasm. This done, the affair was
here wound up. To conclude, a man I'M
able to read the newspapers could readily
divine from this nights proceedings that
there was an election held yesterday.
