This Weeks Elections.

The result of the Arkansas election created
but little comment. It was expected, of course,
that the state would give huge democratic
majority and the expectation has been realized
Nor is there much interest centered in the Yer
mont election OF to-day. The republicans look
for majority of 25 GOO and vote Of about
65,OOO. The principal feature of the Arkansas
result Is the vic Ory OF the debt tpaying faction
over the repudiatlonists. The fight was against
the so called Fishback amendment. 1t was
proposed by this to amend the state con-
titution SO as to prohibit the legislature
from making any provision for interest
or principal OF certain state Improvement
boLds. The position taken by the debt-payers,
under the leadership OF Senator Garland was
tnat the state had received consideration for
the various bonds, which it was proposed to
repudiate, and that for this reason it would b,
an act OF dishonesty to class such bonds with
the various county bonds, issued under republi,
can rule, and for which, in many cases, no
value was received. Pulaski county, where
Little Rock is situated, and which pays a large
proportion OF the state tax, defeats the Fish
back amendment by over two thousand ma
jority. other large cities are showing similar
returns. At the democratic headquarters in
this citX,they are exchanging congratulations
over thepOsitlOn taken by Arkansas

and whose instincts are not on The side OF sim
pie, Republican rule.
The Gazette believes that the war settled the
question that Q majority Of the people are OPP
posed to any dissolution OF the Union; that the
richt TO local selroyernmentis as distinct and as
clearly defined as il was before the war; that the
Union created by the Fathers was not changed
by the war, and that our system should remain
unchanged. The Gazette proposes 10 take an
active mart in the next Presidential Campaign.
