THE NEWS.
Foreign Notes


LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Daily Tele-
graph devotes Its leading article 10 the
election. Ii says: So far as the nation
al issues are concerned, the Democratic
party has fought and lost its great battle.
No future presidential campaign will
be conducted under the banner original
ly hoisted by Thomas Jefferson, and
which symbOlized Il hatred to England
as the foremost plank in its platform.
That this feeling has passed away is
clearly evinced by the fact that in the
struggle between Garfield and Hancock
the sympathies of Englishmen have
been ali along in favor of the former.
The success of the Republican candidate
presages not only the continuation, but
the further extension of that prosperity
which set in two years ago.
In continuation Of tbs comments on
the presidential election in the United
States, the Telegraph says The success
of the Republican candidate presages
not only a continuation but further
extension of that prosperity which set in
two years ago ON the other side of the
Atlantic, and the influence of which is
largely felt by these Islands within their
own confines, and all throughout the
east of Europe. The probability is that
the next struggle for power will be be-
tween the united free traders of the
south and west on one hand, against
eastern protectionists on the other. In
the opinion of far-sighted men upon
both sides of the Atlantic, it is impossi-
bic for that momentous issue to be much
longer delayed.
