WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-The general feeling here in political circles is that the RepubIi- cans gained a slight advantage in the elec- tions yesterday, which compensated them for the defeat sustained in Ohio in October and places both parties in an equal position for the presidential race next year. The Presi- dent is of course disappointed at the result of the election in Virginia. in which he took much interest. In the departments the clerks are Egenerally pleased with the result and express the utmost confidence in Repub- ican success in 1884. Secretary Teller said to-day that he was sgreeably surprised at the result. He considered that Malone would be unable to retrieve what he had lost next year and believed that Butler would no long CT be potential factor in Massachusetts poi- tics. Frank Hatton was much chagrined at Mahone's defeat and attributed it in great measure to Democratic intimidation. Re- publican politicians here generally assert that the North must be depended upon to elect 8 Republican President and that the South must not be counted in any Republican esti- mate for 1884.

H Business Timber. J

In advertising our business we try to be philosophical, but amidst all our attempted philos 0phy we aim to be discreet and so ren- der it unnecessary to be mysterious about anything. Each day we devote to the object and that object is to accomplish something more than was recorded the preceding day, and when the days work is done we find that we have not been disappointed. Doubtless it is due to the fact that we keep the BEST READY MADE CLOTHING fer old and young, and we might also claim that our prices (being quite reasonable) must have something to do with our very fatteIing trade. It is widely known that OAK HALL iz THE representative store of New Haven. Not that we have done all to make it so, but a large share of credit is due to all those who have given us an opportunity to supply them from our general assortment, or by kindly waiting for us to send to New York for sample garments for approval. In either case our efforts have been appreciated and rewarded. Securing patronage of such a character and of such magnitude stimulates our desire to increase the useful and honorable work of selling Mems and Boys First class Clothing at Moderate Prices.
