WAsnISdToN, November S.-The effect
of the Democratic storm yesterday Is felt
moro keenly by tho official world here
perhaps than any other class In tho coun-
try. While last nights returns were
coming In the Government employees
who were left in tho city gathered about

was this feeling ut one place that one in

that Pennsylvania would elect Gen.
Beaver. The dissatisfied Republicans
would 20 around to Republican head
quarters, where the tone of news was
quito as unsatisfactory. Secretary Hen

newspaper men and fill them up with
glowing pictures Of party success last
week, refused 10 see any body. He sulke ed

Hubbell has not yet returned from Michi-

disposed to hold the assessment business
responsible for good share of this de-

OF thoso who have been bled several
times to think TINT 1t was useless; The
feeling to-day In tho government depart
ments IL ono OF general depression.
Scarcely any work has been done for n
week and yesterday and to-day every
thing stood still whilo tho government
officials tried to figure it nil out. The
more hopeful ones declare 1t is all right
and that the party will pull itself togeth-
or In good shape In time for the campaign
OF 1854. There are those, however, who
retort that the sarno thing was predicted
from the Ohio reversss. 1t was said the
Ohio defeat would tend to bind up party
wounds In Pennsylvania and elssw here,
but the result has not justified such a
theory.
A leading Western Republican politi.
clan, who arrived to- might, says 1t is lust
the torerunner of what will happen to the
party IN 1854 unless tho cause Of the fam
lily trouble is removed. He is Of opinion
that the feud between tho two wings OF
the party is not at an end because the
party has been badly whipped; that, on
tho contrary, the kniting OF the Stalwart
ticket In New York and Pennsylvania by
the friends Of Blaine is likely to 10 re-
vengod in 1884 by the knitting of Blaine
aud his friends. So far from healing tile
selfintiicted wounds OF the party by this
heroic process, 1t only widened the exist
ing breach. There were only two chan
ces for Republican success In 1884, In his
opinion, and each OF these just now
seemed as desperate as tho other. One
was to select Presidential candidate
who, like Garfield, Is not attached con-
spicuously to either faction and has the
respect and confidence Of both. The 9th.
or chance was that the Democrats, elated
with the prospect OF success, should
make tho usual blunders in placing their
forces in the fold. Ho thought both of
these chances desperate. because he be.
lieved Blaine's friends intended to push
his claims right down to and in the Con-
vention and the Stalwart ring would op-
couldn't see that his party had gained
any advantage by being nwfilly licked.
The same gloomy view is taken by 9TH
ers. Tho new phase In national politics
is the subject Of general discussion.
