WASHINGTON, D. g., Nov. 3rd.
The elections held yesterday, constitute
the principal topic of conversation to-
dav, in Washington. The Republicans
generally regard the results, when taken
in connection with their success in ONO
and Iowa in October, rs assuring them
victory in the next Presidential election.
They are jubilant along the whole me
from the " hitc House down 10 the hum
blest tide water. The faction whe con-
slltute the Third Tcrmcrs are now conh-
dent that Gen. Grant can easily be noini-
mated i'm the next National Convention II
the proper efforts are made IN his be-
half by those protesting to be friends OF
the administration, and who are enjoy
ipe, his patronage The Kitchen CabI-
net are to day ou:spoken all tire subject.
They assert that General Grant viii be
in the convention, and have nearly the
entire vote of the Southern Republicans
to start with The hurd-money men and
the mourvcd interests of the Eastern
States, they contend, gould have more
confidence in Grant than III any one else,
and the anti-CathOllc element, VINO re-
gard the school issue as the paramount
| one, are regarded rs secured Dy
the Drsmoiues speech. With these
lorcccs, and the fact that there
/ i no concentration Of Republican,
strength on Blaine, ConkIing, or any
other Presidential aspirant, they feel
/ tLat there would be no difficulty IN Sc
curing his nomination a prominent
,p.mb,r of the Government said hat the
other dav, that Chahd.rr's appointment
| WAS nm indication that the President had
no, abandoned the regular Republican
/ accumulation for the idea OF new Re
/ form party, as had been inferred from
. some recent Cabinet appointments. lie
/ SAID that the country would learn before
/ long what Chandlers appointment
/ really meant. A. "a part et this new move
/ ment. not only the Presidents intimate
/ friends but the President himself Is now
speaking To his friends IN reference 10
I Cubau matters, in mcnaclng style
which shows that he Is about ready to
strike out on u new path, whether 1t be
agreeable or not to his Secretary OF State
or to the Spanish government. If these
/ significant indications find tnoir logical
development in his action, collision
with Spain Is AN event which may be
precipitated upon the country atany day.
| 1t is a curious fact that prominent Re
publicaus are asking OF Democrats here
what 'courset the House OF Representatives,
would pursue in such II case. Some lead
inr Republicans are known to dissent
from the Cuban policy, and believe the
country will not sustain it, but 1t Is
doubted il they can much longer success
fully withstand the intrlgues OF the
speculative ring who are advising the
President to this new departure. The
Democrats are undoubtedly much di,sp
pointed. bu. are hopeful Is to the future
o, the party if united in the Prcsiden-
tlal contest. In Virginia and MIsSls-
,ippi they have carried the only States
where United States Senators were TO be
chosen. and thus gain one Senator. In
pphuca, circles OF both parties the re-
mark is common to-day that Mr.. Ill
den chances for the next nomination
are seriously damaged, II not disposed Of.
