The Election.

The election and its results have beer
the constant and most exciting theme Of
conversation on the streets and discussion
through the newspapers all through the
week. Up to Tuesday night it was max.
ing estimates Of probabilities from previ
GUS intimations Since then i. has been
largely guessing from the meager return.
as to what shall be accepted as the final
results. Up to Thursday evening il was
impossible to say positively Who was to be
our next president. o. Wednesday
morning the character Of the dispatches
indicated the election of Tilden. In the
afternoon and evening more favorable re-
ports began to come in and Thursday
morning the indications were strong that
Hayes was elected by q very small ma.
jority in The electoral vote, but there
was doubt enough left to prevent demon.
STATIONS of any sort,
The result is still doubtful. Republi-
cans claim the election Of Hayes, and
there is some reason for this belief, but
the Democrats are equally confident.
When full returns are received from
Florida. Louisiana and North Carolina
the estim ates may be changed. As at
present advised the probabilities are as
given below.
The general result may be summed up
in detail by states as follows; Maine
gives about 1900 majority for HAYES !;

Governor Rice.

The Republicans of Massach usetts have
been true to their nominee for governor.
The opposition to Mr.. Rice was undeser.
we'd. Every voter felt that the blows
aimed at him were instigated by malice,
and they also felt that to give Mr.. Rice
their support at the polls was an act due
to gentleman who for twenty years past
has made large sacrifices to meet the
demand upon him for public services.
His reelection by thirty thousand plu.
raity is an Endorsement Of which he may
be proud. No single result in this state
will be hailed with such heartfelt satisfac.

had many good governors, but never one

there being handsome excess Of resour.

AZ Democrats in this state give as
chief reason for their vote in the re.
cent election that they wanted to see the
poor mans money as good as the rich
mans money. They want government
bonds to be taxed. II was too much for
their equapimity to see their neighbor,
who by industry and skill had gained a
competency, live without paying taxes on
o portion thereof which he had invested
in government securities. 1t is nothing
to them that the issuing Of these bonds
was war measure, necessitated by q
peril which involved the very existence
of the government, and that non. taxabi.
ity was the only condition which rendered
them negotiable at such q time. 1t is
nothing to them that the good faith of the
nation is involved. 1t is nothing to them
that the nation is working its way out of
the complicated difficulties brought on by
the southern rebellion. They wanted
those bonds taxed at once. They wanted
to take from man property for which
he had paid what the nation asked, and
whose value it had guaranteed to him.
To secure such result they were willing
to elect candidate whose character. as
shown by his history, is, to say the
least, the worst ever borne by presiden.
tial candidate. They were willing to sec
every political right of the southern me-
groes taken away from them, even to
reducing them to practical serfdom. They
were willing to throw the control of the
nation into the hands of the men whose
aim has been, and is still, 10 destroy it.
Anything to take away mans property.
1t is the same feeling that actuates the
thief and the robber, who, in fact, simply
carry out Democracy to its logical
result. They care nothing about right,
