The country is waiting to hear the revised oDin.

gust with the GTcenbackers. There is Mr. Waiter

was Watterson who declared with so much warmth
a short q ago, that unless the East mprOmised
with the West 9ld South on the money question,
the devil would be loose.
Secretary Sherman regards the election as the
funeral of the anti-Resumption party. He does
not expect to hear of it again, and thinks there
now no obstacle TO the carrying out of his plans.
1t looks very much that way After the drubbing
it has just received, the Democratic party
cannot possess the necessary stupidity 10 go on

There is a tendency in the Democratic newspapers
of this State to charge the disasters of Tuesday to
the qua.rels of the brethren IN New-York City.
The int made is that if Tammany and anti
Tamnany would only keep the peace there would
be no trouble in carving he State. There Is some
truth IN tins so far as the State ticket concerned
but it does not cover the enormous RrpuDilcan
gains in the Assembly, and the almost equally sur

The most significant demonstration of the elections
is the fact that the States which were carried by
the Republicans in October and November cast
2I3 electoral votes. while those carried by tho
Democrats cast only 156 votes. Thus it appears
that il a President had been voted for on Tuesday
the Republican candidate would have had clean
majority of 81 votes IN the Electoral College Tho

win by thirteen majority. lt could lose ONO ana
