Igan In the Late Election.
IN. Y. Times.l
DETROIT, April 2-Fuller returns from yes
terday's State election show that the National
party made very unex pected developments OF
strength in different parts OF the State. In
places where they had not organized the usual
mixed results are reported, but every county
that has had active Greenbaek workers and
papers yield large harvest of votes. Grand
Rapids, the second city Of the State, was
swept by them, and they have major
ity Of the board OF supervisors OF that
county In the city OF jackson they
defeated q fusion of Republicans and
Democrats led by the strongest men Of both
parties. Barry county, usually Republican
by 500 majority, they have carried by over
700 majority In Van Buren county they also
control the board OF supervisors. They fur
ther carried the considerable towns OF Hast
ings, Buchanan, Cold Water, Hillsdale, Ad-
rian, Midland, Vassar, Paw Paw, JaDesvllle,
Mason and Big Alliance, while the Demo-
Gratis won In Lansing, Battle Greek and Flint.
In this county (Wayne) they have carried q
majority OF the towns outside of this city,
sweeping some of the old Democratic strong
holds. In Hillsdale and Lenawee counties,
which are Republican strongholds, they have
made like gains. Their leaders here are ex-
ultant, and talk loudly of their prospects. but
data are not yet at hand to satisfactorily es-
innate their real strength, or which OF the
regular parties has yielded them the largest
number Of recruits.

The Tramp In Eurepe.

WASHINGTON, April Ga recent dispatch
from Consul General Post, at Vienna, con-
tains some pertinent remarks on the tramp,
whose ubiquity has been sGaprominent II sign
of hard times in Europe as well as in the
United States. There, as here, the feverish
manufacturing impetus which, eliminated in
1873 drew workers from the field to the cities,
and once habituated to the life Of towns, the
subsequent depression which resulted from
over-production has not led the idle artisan to
return to his native farms and natural pur-
suits; but, like his transatlantic brother, he
has become a tramp, wandering restlessly
from place to place in search OF work and
food. .
The Austrian law, however, does not per-
fancy or needs may suggest, but promptly in
tervenes to transport the able bodied men,
dicant to his native village, there to resume
this way the cities are relieved from the bur
den OF supporting floating pauper popula-
tion not living within their limits.

In the senate on Thursday Mr.. Blaine
assailed the secretary OF the interior.
Dir. Blaine's language had not the tradi-
tonal dignity Of the senate, and what he
said could hardly be called argument, but
he gave several pictures of the impracti>
cable secretary which were recognized as
true to the lite. MIR. Blaine can no more
comprehend principle than he can fly,
but he groups together facts in striking
manner, is exceedingly ready with his
ideas, and has at his command On IN
equalled supply of pat illustrations. and
out of these accomplishments he manages
to make himself the most attractive

importance OF this measure to the peo-
