There were elections in ten States last
Tuesday, and the averaged result Ia to
crafty if not to satisfy the National De-
mocracy OF course We can hope for
many things, but it is not sensible to ex-
pect everything. The Democracy con-
tidently expected to carry FIVE States aud
thought they would STA. They have car
ricd four squarely and fifth partially
the latter being New York, III which the
Democratic State ticket, with the excep-
ton of the Secretary of State, was elected
by twenty thousand majority. The causes
which led to the unexpected falling off of
the democratic vote in this State will not
necessarily have bearing in ihr presiden-
tiai election next year. The result does
not indicate popular change Of political
opinion, but mere movement, in the man
agement Of the affairs of State and great
city. preference Of individu al candidates.
and the presence of the disturbing ques
ton of prohibition As to Massachusetts,
the conditions are opposite The re-elec-
ton of Butler would have been small
foundation for the expectation that Mas
sachusetts would go democratic i'll the
presidential election, and the defeat of
the old demagogue is matter of little i'm
port as to the interests OF the country at
large. Had he been elected, still Massa-
chnsetts would have remained in the col
umn of republican States; and had the
result been otherwise III New York, sbe
would still have been in the doubtful col
umn. though the field Of more ssnguine

States referred to, and the result is 40
gratifying AS 10 compensate all dlsap-
pointment elsewhere. In the redemption
of the old dominion, and her restoration to
the solid column of the democratic south,
the interference Of the federal govern
ment in the electoral affairs of States is
gloriously rebuked-an impressive warn
ing recorded against intcrmeddling in
domestic politics. The offensive individ-
ualitv of Malone makes the disappoint-
ment of his efforts seem an important
achievement, but the triumph is really
! great when we lose sight of his traitorous
! personality in the political measures he
represents, and consider him but as the
agent of the radical power in advancing
! its scheme of perpetuating it's sectional
domination in the Southern States and
encouraging the antagonism of races.
| Socially condemned before, he is now
! crushed politically, and it is only left
him to serve out his years in the Senate
as the despised and unimportant repre-
sentative of himself in his one vote
merely in that body, and to be retired to
obscurity at the end Of his term-politi-
cally existing without constituency, po-
liticallv defunct without mourners.

LINDEN.

A New INDUSTRY IN LINDEN
Charles Mallory an energetic citizen
of this village, formerly of James
vile, has lately opened factory in
our midst for the purpose of manu-
featuring tobacco, produced by HIM
self, into cigars. He has several
tons of the article which is pro-
ncunced by skilled tobacconists to
be of superior quality and in first
class condition, and with the SER
vices of Charles Springer of Mineral
Point as foreman of the establish
ment, we have no doubt but the
cigars turned out will be excellent
in every particular, and the pro-
prietor will receive fair share of
the patronage of the smokers of this
section of the state.
Samuel Coach, after staying few
weeks with his friends at Linden,
started Wednesday morning on his
return to Humboldt, Michigan.
Some boys who strayed into the
new cigar factory in Linden, the
other day had their attention called
to notice, " No Loafers Allowed"
and also to a life-size photograph of
the proprietor looking in the direc-
ton of the boys, pointing to the
door, with the words, "you get. '
The boys being of the kind that can
take a hint, said "you bet" went
away and have not since returned.
The boys say it was no photograph
at all put Hicks niger, and they
do not want to see it again.
