The combination, or now properl,
the conglomsration, was a disreputa bl,
affair. Rsvengers and radicals wer,
both disappointed. and may now settl'
all questions among themselves as bes
they can. None Of them can hope for Of

look to Rev. Mr.. Stewart for promo
ton.
Spunky De(auarean in two years II
may be begging for the votes II spurps
We shall see.
Upon the whole, however, We see In
the election on Tuesday nothing that
indicates, with certainty, the success o
either party in the Presidential fight.
In the October and November elections
the contest was largely for members OF
Congress, influenced, Of course, by
other questions of a mere local charac.
ter. The Democrats have gained, upon
the whole, in members OF Congress. and
will, after the fourth of March, have
the control Of both houses.
How,about that gain in Congress
The Democrats in the present congress
have 20 majority, In the next congress
1, will be two or three, not counting thu
Grrenb back members.
An honest press is a great public ben
efactor. A corrupt aud venal press n
curse 70 any land.
True, give us your hand. All editors
will agree to that. let convention OF
editors b- called and let us see where
the venal press is.
Frol the Middletown Transcript;
The battle OF Tuesday is over tn.
smoke has arisen from the field and
both the political parties Of the country
are trying TO figure out q victory.
Strictly speaking it was bad day for
Democrats in the North; but as the
Republican gains cannot change the
decidedly Democratic complexion OF the
next House it may be considered a
fruitless victory for them.
Yes, but II it has not changed the po
litical complexion Of the House, it has
scared the Democrats To such an -x-
tent that there won't be many rebel
claims paid-in fact the Democrats will
be prevented from doing anything that
they would like best TO do.
The question Of ofannexing the Eastern
Shore of Maryland and Virginia to Dell
aware, and iortIing one State of the
whole. having been recently revived by
a contemporary, we think this is q
COED time to have the opinion Of our
Eastern Shore, as well az our Delaware
friends on the subject. Natures laws
seem to confirm the ofttimes expressed
opinion that this Peninsula should be
one commonwealth Its territory Is un-
divided by any natural line the inter.
ests Of every section of it in perfect ac-
cord, and its people united by the
strongest bonds of blood and friendship.
There now, brother Transcript, if we
can't quite hit it on politics we'll strike
hands over a consolidation Of Delaware,
the Eastern Shore of Maryland and the
two counties of Virginia east of the
Chesapeake into one State. We would
then have five electoral votes and hold
up our heads little higher.
From the News and Advertiser
The first and most prominent thought
by the election Of last Tues
day is the sectional aspect they bear.
A solid South has made solid North,
and will keep IL solid as it ought to. If
the majority of white people of the
southern States will combine and by
intimidation, bribery, bull-dozing and
fraud of all sorts and kinds, keep down
all opposition to the Democratic party.
this forces the Republican North and
West into solid opposition to such an
and vicious policy.
This is solid argument, and comedies
exactly with our own views. Nothing
will do more to secure another Repub-
licsn President than Democratic solid
South.
The Greenbsck vote has evidently
