nsss and dispatch at the lowest living
xasaa.
~ Dsss . Drawn DatsIs.
The cool reflection of twenty
foQr hours enables Us to give an
unbiased view Of the political stu.
nation, which leads W to look
upen the contest Of yesterday ~
Substantially = political "stand-
oiR?' Come Of our contemporaries
INDUCED In great deal of msrri.
mont whom We endorsed, and con-
sfantly reiterated, the early sx.
pressed opinion Of Garfield that
New York was the pivotal State.
Without New York, Garfield has
no moro chance of being the next
President than he has OF seeing lit.
lie pinlons sprout out from his
shoulders, on which he might
wing his flight to heaven. The
"eolid North has 23l electoral
votes. Of which 1856 would bs need
ID 10 elect GARFIELD. New Jersey,
With her nine votes, is conceded to
Hancock. 30 10 California, with
six electoral votes, as is Ne
vada with three. Thus the
2Dl votes Of the "Solid North"
ars reduced to 2l3. II, from
thsss 2sl votes, the thirty
I'VE electoral votes Of New York
are deducted, this would leave Gar
Asld IT'S electoral votes, or seven
short Of . majority of the Electo-
raj Colleges. Oregon, also, seems
70 have gone Democratic. Thus
NJ have the election Of Hancock
or Garfield depending upon the
vote of a single State. Surely
there 10 nothing TO brag about on
! the part of a party which is en-
trenched in power and which, with
unlimited resources of money and
unnumbered placemen, only sue
cseds In saving itself by the skin
Of it's teeth, claiming the ''pivota"
State by pitiful majority Of 5000?
On the other hand, the Demo.
Gratis seem to have made q clean
sweep Of tho Pacific Coast. Cali.
forniR and Nevada are conceded to
ne, while 1t is easy to see that Ore
gon has gone the same way. In
this State we have elected Rose
Grams In San Francisco and Berry
In the Third district, with the inn
minent probability of the
election Of Leach. The pres.
emit Congressional delegation
stands three Republicans to
one Democrat. The next will
probably stand three Democrats
70 one Republican. In addition,
we gain Cassidy from Nevada and
shall elect Jim Fair to the United
States Senate, to succeed Sharon.
The Indications at this writing are
that the California Assembly will
be so decisively Democratic that
We shall be able to elect . Demo-
crat to succeed Newton Booth. At
all events, we shall be able to block
Republican chicane.
In Los Angeles county we lose
one Assemblyman and one Justice
Of the Peace. While 1t ia TO be re-
GREETED that Mr.. Heathman did not
pull through, it is pleasant to
know that Hon. r. F. del Vale
will return to the halls which he
90 notably graced last winter.
Enough is known to show that
both the next United States Sen.
ate and House Of Representatives
will be Democratic, whether Han.
cock or Garfield shall prove to be
the President.
In our attitude on the late
election we have borne in mind
the wisdom OF the good old adags
which says that they laugh bes,
who laugh last. Our hopes ar,
greater than we care to give ex
preston to just now. Intelligent
Democrats, who psruse our husf
tslegraphic columns, and burrov
10 details which ought to have ar
interest for every citizen, will prob
ably be able to discover for them
selves tho reasons which have Leo
US to believe that we shall be able
to make an excursion into the
chicken yard Of our neighbors Of
