tor more Extensively than ever, and
great popular revolt was the conse-
quence. In New Hampshire there
was a bitter fight between two guber-
material aspirants, neither of whom
had any better claim for high office
than the possession of great wealth.
Similar performances went on all
along the line-it is not necessary
to review them in detail. As we
have before said, Tuesdays result is
due entirely to republican blunders,
dissensions and incompetency. The
arrogance and self-seeking of some
republican leaders the entirely un-
necessary quarrels within the party !;
the faulty which led to the nomina-
ton of unpopular and we may add
unworthy candidates; the interfer-
ence in state affairs of the national
administration-the are the causes
which have led to our defeat, and
they must be removed in short order,
or else the obituary of the republi-
can party must be written. There is
no thought anywhere of giving up
the ship. The republican craft has
weathered as severe gales as the
present. This is an ''off year," and
all the democrats gain is the control
of congress for the next two years
which is a misfortune, to be sure,
but one which our party and the
country has once survived and will
survive again. Then, again, the
democrats win victories not because
they are democrats OF because the
people are ready for democratic rule
in the nation but because they are
the only available weapons with
which to strike at the men who make
republicanism weak. And finally
the experience of the past has been
that such a storm is wonderfully eff
ficient as means of clearing the
air. We have had more than one
party experience similar to that al
the present time. In 1862 and
again in 1867, in 1874 and 1878, we
had republican reverses, all of which
were succeeded by healthier and
better party management, and by
signal victories in the years succeed.
ing. 1t will be so again. Our pres.
ent disastrous reverses will lead tt
wiser party conduct. They must be-
taken to heart; the evil paths mus
be forsaken and the unworthy coun
sellers dismissed. Our reverses vii
have such an effect, we are confden
and we look hopefully to the grea
campaign of two years hence.-Fre'

In almost every state and in every
city the democrats made a square
fight for free rum; they incorporated
this idea and plank in every platform
and favored it by the press and on
the stump. They made square work
of it, or on this thing, though wrong,
they did not try to delude the people
by preaching one doctrine and favor
ing another practice. The republi-
cans, on the other hand, did not have
the courage to come out fat-footed
for temperance principles. This
temperance matter is soon to be the
issue of the country and it cannot be
lodged. If the democrats wish to
make free rum an issue, then some
other party which shall make no rum
an issue will rise to combat them
and as Neal Dow said cit is going
right along whoever and whatever
opposes" Well isn't it about time tc
make the dividing line, on one side
those who belong to the Kingdom OF
Rum, on the other, those who oppose
this lieutenant of Satan?

THE ELECTIONS.

A general election always sets the
defeated party up in business for
a week OF two trying to explain just
why it was beaten and pointing out
the various sins of omission and
commission which led to its defeat.
The task is proftless and often ludi-
crous. One party is defeated simply
because the other got more votes,
and the only thing to do is to let the
"dead past bury its dead and s'peck
your fints' and get ready for the
next battle. But there are some
useful lessons to be derived from the
campaign which closed so inglorious-
ly Tuesday which must be learned by
the republican party if it expects to
live. In the first place the republi-
cans entered the canvass handicap
ped IN every possible way. The
managers of the republican congress
sional committee appear not only to
be representatives of everything that
is bad in party politics, but to be a
set of dolts, incapable of reading the
signs of the times. The campaign
literature they sent out was the mer-
est drivel, and its perusal would have
the effect of inducing the reader to
vote the democratic rather than the
republican ticket-if such stuff could
be presumed to have any effect at
all. The levy made by the commit
tee upon the salaries of government
officials had an extremely bad effect
and doubtedly cost the republican
party many thousands of votes.
The result sufficiently demonstrates
that aside from the moral principles
involved, that sort of thing doesn't
pay practically. We sincerely trus
that the party has seen the last Of
Hubbell and the political methods
with which he is identified. Ever
more malodorous than he is Stephel
W. Dorsey, who, in spite of the in
famous disclosures of the Star rOut
' investigation, still remains in tn
: honorable position of secretary o
the Republican National Committee
When such men are apparently trust
$ ed and honored by the party an
e hold the chief places in its councils
4 it cannot command the confidence c
d the people. The present is an e2
!. cellent time to send the bummers
o the rear. and such men ought to II
o ceive marching orders at once.

We console our republican selves
with the fact that this is "off year,"
and though our fellows are knocked
off the political roost this time, there
will be time In the next two years to
get up such a howl about how the
democrats do things when they have
an opportunity, that we can get polit-
zeal control again. 1t is a great
deal easier to complain of how things
are done, than to do them well when
we have opportunity.

The judges of the supreme court
were elected by the legislature last
week. There was no opposition to
the present incumbents, except in
the case of Judge Royce. He was
stoutIy opposed by those who thought
him in league with the Central rail
road management, and by those who
proposed to remind him of the fact
that tax-dodging, by allowing an in
ventory to be doubled, is not popular
in this state. He was elected by a
small majority.

Legislature is very close on joint bal

will have the majority when the re-

MINNESOTA.
Returns and trustworthy estimates
are now in for all counties. The
majorities are as follows: First dis
trict, White, republican, 300 sec
ond, Wakefield, republican, 3400,
which will probably be increased to
5000 by full returns third, Strait,
republican, 5000, will probably be
increased to 6000; fourth, Wash

republican, plurality over Kindred
1900 will probably be increased to
5000. Returns continue to show
republican gains in the Legislature,
which will probably be nearly all
republican.
CALIFORNIA.
Returns show that the democrats
have carried the state ticket by 5000
majority and have elected all the
congressman except in the second
district, where Page is probably sue
cessfnl, although the contest is close.
They have made a clean sweep of
the San Francisco municipal ticket,
with the possible exception of mayor.
The figures vary on the mayoralty

is ahead.
MICHIGAN.
The republicans elect the governor
by 5000 to 10000, and carry the rest
of the state ticket by an equal OIL
larger majority. The legislature is
republican on joint ballot, beyond
doubt. In congressman there are
extraordinary changes. The demo
Gratis from present appearance will
elect Mayberry in the first district
Eldredge in the second, Yaple in the
fourth, Houseman in the fifth, Win
ans in the sixth and Carleton in the
seventh. The republicans will have
the remainder.

The republican state ticket gets
about 10000 majority, except Clark

by both parties, though later returns
favor Valentine, republican; Weav
