The November Elections.

tE The Albany Journal says the re-
suits OF Nov. are generally received az
al earnest OF grand Republican victory
in the Empire State next year.
tF The dimensions of the great Dem.
ocratic victory in Maryland arc manifest
from the fact that, excluding the ballot.
stuffed vote Of Baltimore, the total Demo-
cratic majority in the State was but $50.
tH If Uncle Sammy Tilden finds any,
thing to rejoice over in the news of re-
duced Democratic vote in the State at.
large he's entirely welcome to it. Put
New York down for Republican major.

rY The tidal-waye of last year ia
sweeping back, and the Democracy every
where are carried away by its under tow.
The Republicans can now enter upon the
Presidential year of 1876 with the prestige
of victory and the most suspicious omens
of success. 1t will be their own fault if
they fail to nquer.-Detroit Tribune
.E- Altogether the results of these No
vcmber elections may be accepted as evil
dcnce of the determination of the people
not to trust the Democratic party any
longer They have had all they want, and
more too, of Democratic rule, and they
have returned to their first love, satisfied
to trust the only party that has ever been
true and faithful to their interests.-Paus-
burgh Commercial.
sE~ Taken as a whole, yesterdays cleo.
tons are pronounced Republican tri-
umph, and more than counterbaance the
reverSes of last year If the latter was a
tidal wave that swept away much that the
Republican party had accumulated in a
long lease of power, its present successes
are a tidal-wave that completely browns
all the hopes recently aroused in the De-
mocracy and leaves it more utterly pros
trate than before Thus crowned with
victory, we approach the great contest of
next year, and, if only the promise of good
management held out during the current
year be fulfilled, the resutnext November
will he a most emphatic triumph for Re
publican princlples.-PAil. Telegraph.
vs. The meaning of the elections is
simply this The people have not lost CON
fidence in the Republican party and do
not trust the Democracy. They still be-
lieve that the administration of the Gov
eminent is safest in the hands of the party
that saved it. If they do not approve of
all that the Republican party has done,
they still believe it to be loyal IN principle
and honest in purpose, which is more
than they can be made to believe of the
Democratic party. The Democratic vic
tories Of last year were political scratches
were freaks OF popular caprice-the Re-
publican triumphs of this year are the I'M
"a ,ly oh of cd
purpose to keep the Republican party in
power, at least for the present. They viz
tually settle the next Presidential election.

1t is a season Of revival. Massa-
chusctts is in sympathy with the general
awakening SO far as the change is man
itcsted. it is genuine and thorough. 1t
means that here, at least, where there
was much cause for discomfort, the peo-
pie still trust the Republican party. Give
them clear issue unembarrassed by To-
cal complications, and they are at all
times ready, as now, to give verdict
not to be mistaken. SO long as that par
ty or its appointed representatives and
leaders give evidence OF an honest pur-
pose in the use of its great powers, and
of a fearless zeal against the haunting in
EQUITIES of the times, it Will be sustained;
it will not be in the power of men TO over
throw it.-B0ston AdpeWlser.
rs In response to serenade rendered
him at the Washington celebration OF the
Republican victories of Nov. 2 Presi-
dent Grant said: GENTLEMENI am
very glad to mectyou on this occasion, and
To congratulate you on so good cause for
rejoicing to the entire country as the
elections of last Tuesday. While the Re
publican maiorities were not great, they
were sufficient to accomplish the pur-
pose. The rag baby has been entirely
suppressed, and the people now know
what Kind of money they are to have in
the future, and think we have an assul-
ance that the Republicans will control this
Government for at least four years
longer
