AMONG THE PoLIrICIANs.-Now that the
political hurry burly is over in the October
states, the followers in each political organi

Some OF the republicans are NOT satisfied
their over sapguine leaders had lei them to
indulge in greater expectations. Neverthe-

quite fruitful victory. The Impression is
rather fixed that the battle will wax warm
from now until the Presidential contest, and
thai Tuesdays contest does not presage as
sured success for either party.
The democrats are quite jubil ant, how

have not tasted the fruits OF any political
victory In sixteen years. confidently believe
