ELECTION COMMENTS OF THE N. Y. Press
The Herald says Of the election that the gOri-
GUS results are due alone to the courage of the
Independent press giving expression to the
will of an independent people The issue was
plainly drawn JohL Kelly made his battle in
hls 8%n ws ILL., fsnghs j. With 9Th al BLING nn
He falls as a leader of the once powerful Tam
many Hall, and with him falls the one-man
power in New York politics. 1t urges reor-
ganized Democracy.
The Tribune says the result of the election
shows that men driven out of the Democratic
party by the reform element have gone over to
the Republicans bag and baggage. The Repub-
licans gain control of the Legislature, because
in the districts where the Canal Ring is strong
est the ring men gave their votes and influence
to the Republicans. 1t is worthy of considera-
tion by thoughtful Republicans that wherever
in this state they have had any success, it has
been bv uniting with the worst elements of the
Democracy. with Morrissey and his gang in
this city and with the Lords and others of their
kidney ia the Canal Ring Districts.
The World SAYS: The Democrats have car
ried the state. retained the Assembly. and we
hope have tied the Senate, hitherto under Re
publican gerrymanderiug, the very Gibraltar of
their party until the new app ,rtonm+ ut shall
restore 70 us our fair and rightful representa-
ton. 1t follows this BY coDgraiulaung Gov.
Tilden upon the fact of bis being sustained.
The Times says the state has gone Republic
can by majority of not less than 10000 votes
lue IeiSu VI OOSSeS Is now Drought 10 an emo.
Henceforth the Democratic partV in this city
will have to be led by men of a very different
stamp For the second time within four years
Tammauy Hall has been signally DEFEATED by
the people. Upwards o. 10000 men were en-
ployed by Tammany yesterday at the rate of
ten dollars head. 1t says TIlden entered per-
sonally into the canvass in this city, and con
tributtd large sums of money. Gen raj Grant
has long been out of the question as Pre-i-
dental candidate, and now Gov. Tilden may
safely make up his mind To close his public life
with his present term of Office Next year We
hope to zee totally new candidates put forward
by both parties, and if the best men GU each
side are selected as standard bearers, we shall
have an election which will be at once credlta-
BILE TO the people and Conduct US to che prosper
ity aud ,enown of the country.
The Sun says: Last fall the six states of New
York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Wisconsin and Minnesota all went Democratic
except the last named. The net Democratic
majority in these states was $1,000. Yesterday
they voted for state officers. all of them elect
ing Governors except New York. The returns
indicate net Republican majority in those elk
states gwen yesterday was about 10000. This
undoubtedly is very serious reverse for the
Democrats. 1t claims that the Republican VIC
tories yesterday are as significant against Grant
ism as were last years elections.

The market has been quite firm since the large
sales of last week, and there is decidedly betr
ter tone to the trade than have had notice for
some time past. Manufacturers are purchasing with
more confidence, aud it is evident that prices have
settled down to a point under which they cannot CO.

the present depressed state of the trade.
In New York there has been an increased demand

Review Of the Portland Markets

FOR THE WEEK ENDING NOV. 8.
Trade for the past week has been very active, and
wholesale grocers say that more goods were sold In
October this year than sold in the same month
for several years past This proves the statement
often made in these columns, that Portland suffers
little any city of her size from the hard times.
Money is in good demand and loans are readily Of
fered at fair rates. Gold closed Wednesday, Novem
Der 8, at III.
Apples are in good demand but show no change in
prices. Beans are in moderate demand at current
prices. The cheese market is firm and unchanged.
flee is dull and slightly easier. Cooperage is dull
and unchanged. Copper and cordage show no change.
Portland duck is in excellent demand. The fish
market shows but little change. Mackerel have
been coming in quite plenty for the past week, and
the prices have been somewhat effected thereby.
Flour is firm and the demand still remains large
Lemons have fallen of about dollar per box during
the week past and are now quoted at from So q 10
per box. The grain market shows no change from
asst week; yellow is quoted at &c., and mixed at
zoe. Lard is little easier and prices have declined
slightly Leather remains firm with but little change.
Lumber is in fair demand and prices are unchanged.

and the market rather easier. Salt is unchanged
Sugars are firm and prices remain the same. Teas.

lean Comments on the proceedings of yesterday
as follows:
The second day of November, 1875. will long
be remembered as dark and bloody day in the
history of Baltimore. Justice vacated her seat,
the law was thrown aside, and for several hours
rufianlsm ruled the city, the legally constitute
ed authorities making no resistance. In many
of the WARDS police officers encouraged and as
sisted the thieves, bummers and murderers
whom the ring had commissioned to do its
work. Such shameless prostitution of official
position, such utter disregard of the rights of
the citizen, such absence of the commonest I'M
pulses of humanity never were paraleled in
any civilized land. II the city had been cap.
tured by hostile army there would have been
more regard for the lives of our people than
was shown yesterday by those who, through
the appointment of the ring, claim to be con
s+rva'ors of the peace. The people should rise
in their might and demand justice of the Courts
and the Legislature, and the exclusion from
Office of those functi0narles who have obtained
their positions by violence and fraud. That
they have availed themselves Of the aid of ruff
fans to revere the voice Of The people they
will not themselves dare to deny. If they should
be allowed to profit by their vllainy it will be
