BEATEN at the polls the Democrats
of New York are now trying to have
a Rebel Congress pass upon their
cause. The scheme Is a nice one but
won't work. As soon As IL IL fully
established (which it won't bel that
Hancock needs only the electoral
votes of New York for an election, II
is the purpose Of Barnum and others
to have the Hancock electors i'm that
State certify to Congress the election
of Hancock. Their ground for this Is
that enough illegal votes have been
east i'm the Empire State, which thrown
out would make majority for Han
cock. The idea of the Democrats OF
New York bowling about illegal votes.
While the Democrats may be good
bul-tozers in the South their game
won't win i'm the North. The $500
majority for Garfield is too big an OBJ

Gen. Hancock states that he does not

the CANDIDATES.


CLEVELAND. Nov. "a Mentor spec
ial says: Ii was early this morning
before anything came from the Pacific
coast, from which Garfield had eN-
pressed desire In hear. Several times
during the night the news was most
favorable. The scene Ly this time be-
came one never To he forgotten. In a
little l6X20 building sat the President
elect of the grandest country under
the sun, calmly reading the dispa,ces
that told of his elevation to that high
position. His little son stood by his
side ut the desk lingering the telc-
graphic sheet, of the significance of
which he had little idea. Clustered
around, full of deep satisfaction and
yet in no wise showing excitement,
were friends and neighbOrs ofthe man
whose steady upward progress they
had watched with pride and affection.
To one and all he showed familiarity
that made them feel he was still one
of them, and yet could let them forget
that he was man among men, At
his left elbow by "a table thrown to-
gether for the occasion sat the repre-
sentatives of the press, and at his right
his confidential secretary, with two
busy telegraph operators.

ONE thing that has developed itself
in the recent canvass is that Grant
still figures powerfully in politics. Ii
was not until the Ex-President and his
stalwart friends came to the rescue
that the election of Garfield was as
sured. There is every indication, too,
that Grant and Conklin and Cameron
and Logan will figure conspieuously
in shaping the policy Of the incoming
administration. President Garfield is
conscious that these great leaders in
the Republican party-leaders for
whom our party has the pro
foundest respect-cannot be ignored.
To ignore them is to give an unpard-
enable afi'ront To Republicanism. The
new President fully appreciates all the
grand work done by them in his and
his party's behalf, and will take them
all into his counsel rs he shapes and
lays out his regime for the next four
years

THE Senate after the 18th of March
next will be politically tie, II, AS now
seems probable, William Malone
Sei.ator-elect from Virginia, shall vot,
with the Republicans If Tennessee
should elect Republican there will
he a Republican majority without
Malone. The Republicans gain Sen
ators i'm Connecticut, Indiana, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsyl'
vania and lose Senators in Missis'
sippi and Nevada Malone, of Nir'
yinia, since the defeat of his party by
the regular Democrats, is more likely
to vote with the Republicans than the
Democrats.

IT is John Kelley who now gets all
the blame for Hancock's hefat. He Il
charged with selling out the Demo
cratic party. John really feels cheer
full over the fact that he has elected his
man mayor. Peradventure his sue
cess i'm this respect makes his heart feel
more youthful than Hancock's loss OF
New York makes it sorrowful. The
New York Sun, and other Bourbon
sheets, are bowling with demOniacal
rage over the fact that the Boss, figura-
lively speaking, will not give up to
party what was meant for mankind,
and they use the party whip with tire
mendOus force. They want kelley's
scalp. Meanwhile the bulldozing
chief grimly smiles upon their pigmy
strokes and wonders where will he the
next chance to get ahead of the Tilden
outfit. The Democratic party is on the
point of going to the dogs, and Kelley
does not propose that the ruin shall
swamp his individuality for an effete
party's sake. He proposes to be OH
ton, and il is quite likely he will be.

ADVANCE IN WHEAT.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The publica-
ton of mail adviees from st. Peters
burg, showing the disastrous condi-
ton of crops in Russia, has had the eff
feet OF hardening the prices to-day for
wheat Oh the Produce exchange.
Those who are posted on the subject,
however, say that the advance is of a
purely speculative character and is
not warranted by the circumstances of
the case Russia grows wheat, but
does not consume it, As it is too expen-
sive, and almost all the wheat pro-
duced by that country is exported.
This year Russia will not be able, ac-
cording To the correspondence, 10 ex-
port any kind of grain. The people of
the country, generally, live on coarse
food, principally rye, and in the alb
sence of a good crop of this grain, on
corn, barley, oats and potatoes, the
scarcity of wheat, therefore, i'm Rus
sia, will not increase the demand, but
will only shut of one source of supply
for the rest of the world, a fact that
has already discounted in the country.
A demand for corn will no doubt be
created by the failure of the rye crop.
Theexport demand for W heat has fallen
off largely during the past two or
three weeks, while the visible supply
and quantities afioat have largely in
creased. Further than this. the farm
ers of Great Britain and France are
beginning Ia thresh out their own
crops, and much will depend upon
how these crops will turn out. The

GEN. ARTHUR is now receiving
many good words for the management
of the Republican canvass in New
York. As chairman of the New York
State Republican Committee, he did
valiant and effective service. Arthur
is not a bad man after all. The grOwl-
ing, fault-finding New York Sun thus
compliments him: "He is q gentle
man. He gave great part of the
strength to the ticket in this State. 1t
may be truthfulIy said that Gen. Ar
thurs course has been dignified and
honorable, and that his services have
been of the highest Importance to the
