The Republican victory in Colorado en-
sures the three electoral votes of the new
State to Hayes and Wheeler; for under the
organic act constituting Colorado State oil
the Union, it is provided that this year the
Legislature shall choose the electors. 1t

in the United States Senate.
The Democrats are taking great oomiO1t
from the Georgia election, in which they
claim majority of seyenty-fve thousand.
They can have it as large as they please, and
they show commendable moderation in be-
ing satisfied with these figures.
Mr.. Adams says that the Credit MoollIer
drove him out OF the Republican party; but
he fOrgets to state that his fayOrlte candidate
for the Presidency pceketed S25,OUO as
counsel for the swInclers.
Gov. Tilden sought an ovation on the &C.
ca>!on of a military review in Brooklyn
few DAYS since lie had the review during
which he fell of from his horse, but not the
ovation.
The talk of a "solid South" leads the St.
Paul (Nlinn.) Pioneer Press Gndependent)
to say ali this Government is to be controlled
by single section, We suggest with all
modesty that the section that preserved 1t IS
entitled to the preference"
Mr.. Conkling has sufficiently recovered
from protracted and serious ILLNESS to take
part in the canvass. His speech at Utica,
last week, was calm, temperate and effect
i've statement of the differences between
the two parties, and of the grounds upon
which the Republican party asks for re-
neUal of the nations confidence
Of those who have been called the Butler
candidates for nominations to Congress In
the Massachusetts Districts, only enc, DR..
Loring, has been successful.
Gov. Dix, in his speech in New York last
week. fatty denied little Hewitts statement
that Gov. Tilden attended the great Union

patriot. Il deny that be was on any one
Of the numerous stands or platforms which
were vocal with eloquent and patriotic
words lie was not among the 1873 VICE
presidents and secretaries. He was not one
of the As speakers whose speeches were re-
ported in whole or in part. lie was no
where seen or heard, and, il he was there as

prowling around as an unc0ncerned spectator
Of a scene in which he had refused to have
any part"

Great laughter Now, isn't that the Ian
