When the Republicans OF the city
walked up yesterday morning, they
could scarcely trus. their memories concern.
Ing the returns from the elections. Itsecned
like a dream that u Republican should carry
the District. But glance at the morning
piper reassurcd them, and tho occasional
shout, "Husrah for 1oG!" which was echoed
enthusiastically through the streets, encour.
aged them to hope for still better news.
When they came down town and heard that
instead OF giving the small majority for Cot
claimed by yesterdays ISrELL,oEscER, Chic
county had gone back on her alleged favorite
son 10 tho tune Of considerably over a hun.
dred, their enthusiasm knuw ITO bounds. All

the streets, and the lETKLLiGEscEE office WIS

Tho Democrats were exceedingly sore.
This was perhaps not 10 be wondered at, aud
The iuors philisophic OF them conc a 'el their
isappointltent and chagrn quite cleverly.
Others could not repress III natured remarks,
but the Republicans could afford 10 ex.
ercise Christian forbeaIance under the cir.
canistancey, and iorgave them. All sorts Of
explanations were sought, but the best post.
cd aud most candid Of the leaders OF the De.
mocrncy ascribed the revolution TO the nag.
niliccnt organization Of their opponents and
consequent lack OF effort; to the superior
popularity OF General Coll, and the high
popular estimate OF his character
and ability; and to tho revolt OF the
masses OF their own party against boss rule.
Said one well known Democratic politician:
''rhc way Col. Wilson was retired and Mr..
Good nominated. and tie impression that
prevailed that certain gentlemen whom it Il
unnecessary 10 name were debating to the
party, Is what beat us" 'ltl >,..,,'

who cast their vote for Gen. Colt think o.
such Il wholesale impeachment OF theii
honor? How do the hundreds OF independ
ent voters who have as frequently cast theii
ballot for the Democratic ny the Republican
candidate In the past, appreciate this impu
tatlon? II was Il similar utterance which
one OF their prominent speakers found Il
necessary to explain away in a card week
or 50 ago. The Register should have proti,eG
by his example.
The masses Of the Republican party were
too joyous to reason about the result. The,
accepted 1t rs u fact, aud smiled. But III,
managers Of the Republican campaign, who
have been abused and villitied and ridiculet
for month past smiled harder especial,
when they pernsed the amusing Literature
which has been printed In the Democratic
organ recently. =, 175T =
Last evening the campaign banners Of th'
Republican clubs were hung on the oute
walls at the Lincoln club. A crowd Of mel
and boys with adrum corps and flags paradet
about town for several hours, and the street.
