Seals Abolished.

It was enacted by the last Legis-
lature that the word "Seal' and the
initial letters 'tL. S." and other
words, letters or characters Of like
import opposite the name Of the
signer of an instrument in writing
are unnecessary to give such in
strument legal effect, and any
omission to use them by the signer
of any instrument shall not be con
strued to impair the validity Of such
instrument. The Act is thought to
include wills among other such in.
struments.

The chief difficulty heretofore has
been in justifying, but this has now

their success certain without them. But tney
issued their gratuitOus hypocrlsies Just Tie
same notwithstanding. And now that they are
in power to q limited degree in several states,
with the expectation Of greater opportunities
at the meeting of the next Congress, what DO
we find them doing3 Nothing moro nor less
than we expected. They have disappointed
nobody. Should anybody remind the leaders
of this party of confidence neil OF the ante
election promises, they would no DOUBT turn Oh
him with a leer and esk II he was simple
enough to believe them, Sharp fellows they
are. The promises with which they loaded the
atmosphere OF the campaign are not binding
because-nobody believed them. It's an honest
party because it deceived nobody. 1t deceived
nobody because nobody trusted 1t.
1t may as well be recorded, however, as mat
ter of current political history, that in no IN
stance thus far where Democratic official has
had the opportunity TO remove RepuDncan
for political reasons and appoint in his place
Democrat without examination as to ability OF
fitness, has he failed to do it. Governor Cleve-
land, with all his professions of devotion TO
Civil Service Reform, has indicated no dspo-
siton to do other than what his party ex-
pect of hlm-that is, remove every Republican
within his reach and appoint Democrat IN his
place. Mayor Edison has announced very deli
nitely and withal very cOurageously his pro-
gramme, which is to bestow all the Offices
within his gift upon the party that elected
him. Governor Butler has given us bis view OF
the matter in his synonym for ITO the victors
belong the spells -" Tho Government be-
longs to it's friends" over in Connecticut
Governor Waller has met the expectations OF
his political friends by making clean sweep
of Republican office holders thus far, but there
seems to be a suspicion that he will not con-
time in we'll doing, for the Democratic NeIC-
Haren Union gives him notice that no DEM

officer was chosen, the vote by counties on that
officer is given; in States which had no such cleo

and in every case the political complexion of each
House of the Legislature is gven so that all the
facts taken together give clear idea of the present
political status Of each State. Besides, in Connect

by towns and counties.
A summary of the entire electoral result is given
in a table which compares the vote cast In each
State with the vote cast in it at the Presidential
elections of 1880 and 1876. These figures are full

PROMISE and NOh-PERFORuAyCE.


Speaking after the manner of men, the cleo
tiOns of last November were Democratic VIC
tories. Strictly construed, however, the results
might he much more properly defined as Re
publican defeats. Intelligent observers of both
parties freely admitted Immediately after the
results were published that their whole sig
nIfcance resided in the fact that the people
had declared thereby, not their confidence in the
Democratic party, but simply their temporary
withdrawal of confidence from the RI publican.
Dissatisfied with the methods OF the latter, dis
gusted with the incOmpetency and folly of some
of it's leaders, and resentful of the arrogance of
BOSSES" the people, without going out after
the Democrats, just sat still and let them come
IN hoping thereby not so much to get good
government at the hands of the Democrats us to
bring the Republicans to their senses. 1t
seemed to great many Republicans 10 be
choice Of evils A few discouraged ones per-
haps, seeing the country rs they supposed be-
tween the devil and the deep sea, were willing
10 let it go to the devil but the great majority
thought the occasion opportune for administer
ing discipline to their own party, and did it.
They were not influenced in the slightest de-
gree by Democratic professions or promises.

how little dependence could he placed upon
anything coming from that quarter. All the
same, however, the public ear was dinned with
the professions, pledges and promises of that
party. If, then, we take them to task for non
fulfment of the promises OF which they were SO
profuse before election, it is not because we
have been deceived, or think any body else has
been deceived, by them. 1t is only to keep
tack of the mendacious old street WALKER to
show up her gratuitous lying, and to make it
plain that her reform is still far of, if not i'm
possible.
The thing they were iercest for in the last
campaign was Civil Service Reform. That
was the burden of their song in caucus and
convention, in the press and on the stump.
They wanted honesty and capacity to be made
the only tests for office; no re uovas made for
political reasons; no appointments made for
partisan service; no partisan use made of Off
cial patronage; the whole public service, in
short, purified and elevated-paced beyond the
reach of venality, intrigue and corruption. 1t
was not necessary that they should make such
parade OF promises; nobody believed them,
