ECHOES OF THE ELECTION.

ECHOES OF THE ELECTION.
Politicians in Washington are inclined t
the opinion that the elections of last weel
materially change the political aspect fO
the Presidential race Republicans wht
have recently been respondent now believe
that the "grand old party" has a fair fight
ing chance for the next Presidency. Hope
has taken fresh grip and the signs o
promise are considered abundant to warran
rejoicing. Government officials 60 abou
with smiling faces once more and the clerk
are elated.
The ground for this, in the language of {
high official, is: "We would have beer
beaten already had we lost both Virginis
and New York. The loss of the latter ant
the gain of Virginia would have been al
equiVocal victory. We should have re
quired the Virginia and North Caroline
electoral votes to offset New York, and the
carrying of any Southern State in 1854 was
and is, still doubtful. Pennsylvania ant
Massachusetts are Republican States, and
this election means is that the real battle
ground is shifted to New York again. The
next candidate must be man who car
carry New York. 1t is a triumph for Ar
thur. Look at it as you may, it gives him
surer footing for the nomination. 1t also

can carry New York. There is no reason.

The President has openly expressed dis
appointment that Malone was defeated, but
he is so we'll pleased with the gains in New
York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and
elsewhere that he is not greatly dishearten-
ed. He had hardly hoped for Republi-
can victory in Maryland, though he had
been heartily anxious to aid Mr.. Holten.
Secretary Teller says that he considers But
ler dead as door nail, and that Malone is
lying very low, but he is not positive that
the Readjuster may not have life enough
left to stand on his feet next year.
In New York it is conceded by the more
astute politicians of both parties that the
elections have demonstrated several things
which must exercise a commanding lnt1ll.
ence in the future. First, that the greatly
reduced Democratic majority on the State
ticket, with the defeat outright of Maynard
as secretary Of State, eliminates Governor
Cleveland (who insisted on Maynard's nom.
ination) from the possible list of Democrat
ic candidates for the Presidency. Second
