WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The bosses all say
the election has no national significance,
but was fought out ON party local ques-
lions. All their heads are in the sand, and
they don't know what it is. If their words
express their thoughts, the lesson so vigor-
ously presented on Tuesday has been lost
on these gentlemen. 1t has not been on
the rank and file. They are, of course,
sorry to see the Democrats succeed, and
there were sad faces in the departments
to-day as well as at the Republican head
quarters, but they are glad to see the boss
es beaten. So there were smiles and tears.
The treasurer's Office, where the poor dey-
lis paid in their 2 per cents, was mourn
fully dirty and dreary. The banner which
was to have borne the pyramid of Republi-
can victories this year was as sorrowful
as Henderson. It only bore Maine
Oregon" They didn't think it worth
while to go on. Everybody took Buffers
election as huge joke. 1t was thing at
which Republican could laugh as we'll as
Democrat. The clerks were all sincerely
u
Virginia. AS matter of course the stall
warts are angry. They understand fully
that Mr.. Blaine was one of the busiest
workers against them, both in New York
and Pennsylvania. In the former state,
he appeared through Jay Gould. who now
in all deep political intrigues is Mr.
Blaine's most active supporter. In Penn
sylvania it was perfectly understood
Mr.. Blaine was at work from the
first, and that the independent
measure was originated under his
advice and encouragement. The revenge
OF the boss element of these great states
must be delayed till the convention of 1884.
It will then leap into activity and obtain
complete control.
great light seems to have been thrown
over the Ohio election by yesterdays results
1t is now seen here that there were causes
operating there which lay deeper than tax
ing drinking saloons and closing them on
Sunday, and that dissatisfaction with the
nominees and with the administration had
the most to do with the defeat in the Buck
eye state. These general causes for dissat-
lsfaction have been pretty generally under

Cause and Effect.
New YORK, Nov. 9.-Almost everybody
is happy over the results of the election.
There is hardly any party jubiliation.
The thinking people made the change
without consulting party leaders. No great
speeches anticipated this result. There
were no guy words used on the lanterns.
The Republican party has proved unwor-
thy, and its voters saw better steward
ship to expect from the opposite party,
meantime retiring their own party name
till less tyranny and avarice and self
seeking distinguish it. Unquestionably
the people have become frightened at
the influence of rich men and rich
things. The unit of this country is a laber-
ing farmer man, one who has
little piece of his own
ground, and rears his family
from its proceeds, The Republican party
began asserting the rights of that man
and matching him against slave in the
free territories of the Union. General in
stincts for free soil, free speech and free
elections made the Republican party. But
for several years past the same party has
been in the habit of going to the richest
men in the country or requesting sums of
money to carry the elections with. At one
election they would strike all the banks, at
another all the manufacturers, next all the
syndicates and schemes. The party ex-
pressed its scorn through its leaders of
any modification of the tenure of
