THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.

The reports of Tuesdays election
though somewhat meagre. are suffic-
lent to show Democratic victories
nearly the whole length of the line.
Judge Folger, the administration
candidate for Governor of New York,
is buried beneath Democratic ma
jority of 100000.
Pattison, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, goes
in with plurality of 10000.
Massachusetts elects Butler, Demo
crat, Governor. though the Republic
cans of that State save the balance of
their State ticket.
New Hampshire elects Democratic
Governor.
The Democratic candidates for State
officers in Connecticut were elected.
Indiana goes Democratic.
The Republicans of Iowa come out
of the general wreck in good shape,
having elected their State ticket.
The probabilities are that the DEM
ocrats will control the organization OF
the House of Representatives of the
next Congress.
The Republican defeats may be
safely charged to the prohigacy of the
last Congress and the operations of the
Republican machine as political fac
ter which the rank and file of the
party proposes to retire to the shades
of oblivion.
While the Republicans of this State
have doubtless lost Congressman or
two, Hon. VIM. I. Price, of this dis
trict, is elected by healthy majority.

Not a Good Defense for a Minister

The poet Robert Browning, it is said, is not
disposed to sit down quietly under the CHARGE Of

ability to understand and admire him.

that may be matter of debate, since poets of
the pest quits and accomplishments have written

Leaving, however, the poets defense to carry
as much weight as it may, it is not good de
tense for minister. The minister is not one
who goes forth to gather a few whom he is to
value because they admire him, but he is one

him to place burden upon his hearers. If all
