THE PRESIDENT ON THE ELECrIoNs.-To seve-
raj gentlemen who called ON him to-day the
President expressed himself as much gratified
with the success OF the republican party in the
elections, as indicated by the returns so far re-
ceived. He thought that this showed how little
hold the fnf1ationist and fiat money theories of
the greenback and democratic parties had
taken on the minds of the people.

TO accomplish the result. The anti-Tilden men
say that he has shown his hand and worked
against the party. This viii kill him, they say.
in any Presidential aspirations he may cherish,
ana lay him forever on the shelf as democrat C
leader.
