WASHINGTON, Oct II, 1877.
Politicians have been roaring and
ramping like Bedlam for the last two
days over the
OHIO ELECTION.
Democrats are living in the attic of
ecstasy and Republicans are hiding in
the cellar. On Tuesday night, when re.
turns were coming In, a great crowd OF
thousands gathered on the avenue in
front OF the Metropolitan, where the
Tilden and Hendricks Club had its
headquarters, and "whoopedi 1t up" with
the throats Of Stentors. When John e..
Thompson's dispatch was received, as
suring the Democratic Chairman of the
CLUB that the State had certainly gone
for Bishop and had Democratic Legis-
lature, the cap sheaf of delight was
reached, and every one went stark mad.
Republicans are taking the defeat as
"What else could you expect in the off
year, with four tickets in the field ?
Wait till next time, and then we'll wax
YOU" President Hayes goes right along
with business as usual, quiet, dlgniti ed,
ana apparently as philosophical as ever.
THE sPEAKERsHIP
is all the talk next to the election, and
the amount OF sensational trash afoat
10 CPn fn nj hn
most ambitious news-gatherer. There
Is no longer any doubt that Randall is
almost, II not quite, strong enough to
win the prize. Probably he lacks ten
votes of enough to-day, and SO fearful
are all the others OF him that they have
a com mbinaIion formed to unite ana de-
leat him the moment 1T 1s evident he is
going to win.
THE BIG ROOSTER.
The proudest cock of the barnyard to-
day is j John G. Thompson. He comes in
crowned with the glory of the Onio cam
paign, and can just gallop over the
course into the Sergeaut-a' \ rms I'll ce
like a hign-bred cOurser. We rather like
JUhngee's style, and as he is mighty
clever chap personally, we hope to see
nim elected. He will make good Ufti Ter
as VI old.
SCAT, POTATO BUGS!
Old johnny Bull is in the tidgets, for
the colorado beetles are after his pota-
to vines. The British Postmaster Gen
eral has just sent a weignty protest to
our Z. NJ. General Key, scoldng, be-
cause, on opening U. S. mailbag the
other day, out crawleu handful of po-
tato bugs, a lot OF which got away. Some
scamp Is responsible for The work, and
Gen. Key will Issue circular warning
postmaSters to be ON the watch against
giving amy OF the "criLters" an ocean
passage 10 John BULBS dominions.
CHIEF JOSEPH sCooPED.
The Government is delighted over the
success OF General Miles in capturing
the NeZ Perces and Chief Joseph, not
only because it ends the Indian war, but
because it will have good influence in
restraining Red Cloud, Spotted Tail g.
Co., who were our late guests, from cut
ting up rustics and making US trouble.
The Sioux delegation lett US rather dis
gruntlet at being sent 10 the Missouri.
THE CITY LIVELY.
The population increases rapidly.
Every train brings in a crowd of men,
bers, lobbyists and visitors, and the ho-
tells and boarding-houses are last filing
up. Quite Il respectable proportion OF
the arrivals are OF the genller sex, who
enjoy the gay life OF the Capital in win
ter as much as do the sterner sex.
