THE RESULT IN THE E.LST.

The result Of the elections in the Eastern
states is even more overwhelming victory
for the Democrats than was anticipated.
One hundred and twenty-five thousand
majority in New York, thirty thousand for
Patison IN Pennsylvania, twenty-f thou
sand for Butler in Massachusetts, Con-
necticut forty-tive hundred Democratic
and New Hampshire fifteen hundred ma
sority for Democratic governor mot to
mention New Jersey is the greeting which
the east sends to the west this morning. It
is victory which is the fore-runner of
still greater successes in 1884. If the
Democrats can act with moderation
in the mex. House, which they
will control by handsome majority
they row have clear field for securing
the next president. The people evidently
desire change. It is wonder that that
idea never has occurred to them before.

In Minnesota the result of yesterdays

In the First district Milo White, in the

the Fourth district Mr.Washburn will prob
ably have three thousand majority on the

Mr.. Ames will secure the seat.
In ''the dark and bloody battle ground
where the untutored savage roars, popular

is. in doubt. The returns, as far as re-
ceived indicate the election of Kindred
and there is no reasonable doubt of that
result if fair count is had. The danger
is that the unscrupulous ring of thieves
who support Nelson Will hold back returns.
and bring them in hen they find how the
count stands in Kindred's strongholds
All Of the indications from the
scattering returns point to Kindred's trium-

How the Presidents Looked.

The Presidents OF the United States
were generally of good personal appear
ance. The extremes in point of stature
were in Polk and Lincoln. the latter of
whom was six feet four. while the former
was little more than five feet three.
Van Buren, was a small man. The first
four were men of much dignity. Con-
corning Washington nothing need be
added on thi, point. He WAS the beau
ideal Of manly beauty even in his latter
days. and when StI,art undertook to
paint hi- portrait the artist was 80 over
come BY the majesty OF his patron that at
first he was unable TO proceed with his
task John Adams lacked Washington's
noble statue and grandeur of mien, but
he was man of much dignity. Jeffer-
son was of noble personnel-tall. well
built and OF imposing appearance
Madison had merely a respectable look.
and, being dressed in black. presented
much the appearance of a clergyman.
Monroe and Washington We're the only
Presidents that served in the field during
the Revolution. They were together at
Trenton. where Monroe was a lieutenant
and received ball which he carried
through life. He was the last of the Revo-
lutonary Presidents, and wore the cooked
hat and Continental uniform. which be-
came him to remarkable degree. John
Quincy adams, like his father. was
stout, thick set. gaunt. with bristling
hair. high cheek bones, and a nervous but
defiant couiYenance. Van Buren, lacked
personal dignity, and, indeed, was one of
the most deficient of all our Presidents in
physique Harrison was man OF much
personal dignity. Tyler was a spare
faced man. with broad, thin nose, which
gave him rather 4 comical appearance.
Polk was, a has been said, small man.
with a cool repulsive countenance and a
hard, staring pair of eyes, that were sim
gularly free from anything like kindly,
genial look. Taylor was a heavy built
man. with a rough visage. AS might have
been expected of one whose life was spent
on the frontier He was bred soldier
and loved the service. His face had Il
pleasant smile at times, but was often inn
pressed with the stern character of mill
tary life. Fillmore had a Emphatic coun-
tenance-dull. except when lit up by bus
mess or pleasure He was agreeable in
society 0ni Interesting in conversation
much beyond his predecessors. lie was
of more than average size. and of proper
tons which suggested dignity if not ele
gance. Buchanan was feeble old gen.
tleman, whose white CHECKER suggested the
clerical order. His countenance, however,
showed that he was not man of prog
ress, and rather suggested the fossil order
of intellect.
