RESULT OF THE ELECTION.
Spicy and Humorous Comments.


The result Of the election in the
ten States which voted on the I'd in
slant, is substantially as stated in our
last, although the official returns have
modified the majorities as first re-
ported The majority for Carroll,
democrat, in Mary land is IS, OS3. The
Republican majority in Pernsylvani"
is $4,000 and the democratic MAORI
t. in New York 1871 The Repnb-
lic,ns claim 10000 majority in Min
nesota and 1900 in Wisconsin on the
State ticket. Massachusetts goes
Republican as ever by 5000. New
Jersey has been entirely revolu-
tionizel in favor Of the Republicans,
who carry both branches Of the Leg
islature, while on the other hand the
Democrats have swept the State Of
Mississippi, electing the Legislature
and six members Of Congress. This
looks as if the colored vote had either
changed its views or found it very
unhealthy about the polls In Kan
sas the Republicans claim more de-
cided Republican Legislature than
they had last year.
The comments of the press on
both sides are spicy and humorous.
\ Pennsylvania Democratic paper
SAYS our rooster this week is not his
usual size. Want Of initiation and too
much contraction is the reason.
This is the cock that went out in the morn,
But came back whipped and all iorlorn.
All the Baltimore papers own up
to riotous proceedings and frauds on
election day. The Reformers charge
it on the Democrats, and the Demo
Gratis yell back "you're another.
The Gazette is jubilant over the crush
ing defeat Of the attempt to revive
Know Nothingism in Baltimore, While
the American severely comments on
the "reign Of terror and plug
uplvism rcvived.' The Philadel phia
Bulletin, republican, eXclaims in an
elated strain that the victory assures
the election Of a Republican presi
dent in 1876; it makes the free
schools safe from sectarIaulsm, and II
removes the issue Of population en-
tirely from the arena Of politics. III"
rQc J~by is dead beyond all hope Of
resusc;tatios, and the party that slew
it is the party which has but to nom
mate its candidate for the Presidency
TO elect him. On the other hand the
\. y. Herald offers consolation to the
democracy. 1t says broad survey
Of the political field in the light Of
the elections is not necessarily DIS
couraging to the Democrats, although
it betokens a closer Presidential con-
test than the Democratic PARTY would
have had any reason to fear if it had
kept al the States it won last year.
The y. Y. Times, republican, thinks
it advisable 70 express its opinion in
:, sort of sockdolascr way that no one

That is as dead as julius Cr;ar.
The F44lAlelpAia Times refers to a
long and promising list Of Presidential
Candidates laid out cold by the result
Of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Good
money, open schools, safe government
