The German EIectinns

BERLIN, Nov. 2.-The elections for
members Of the Reichstag resulted as fol-
lows: Conservatives 90, Centres 81, I'M
perials "a. Nationals 50, German Liberals
81, Poles 16, VOlk's Partei 2, Alsatians IA,
Guelphs 3, Socialists 10, including Lieb-
knecht. Ninety-seven second bal
lots will be necessary. The Socialist
committees have ordered their supporters
to vote in the second ballotage against
candidates who refuse to oppose the re-
enacting of Socialist laws and the levying
of fresh taxes. This order is specially
aimed at the Conservatives

squeezer CIapp's Record

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The venerable
Squeezer Clapp is a member of the order
known as the American Union, a secret
society fercely opposed to the Roman
Catholic Church. This order has no great
love for Mr.. Blaine, and some OF the
ancient squeezer's friends and associates
are therefore not in harmony with him.
In fact Clapp himself got out circular
against Mr.. Blaine only a few DAYS be-
fore the Chicago Convention, a matter
which he probably hopes will not come to
the knowledge of Mr.. Blaine.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.--I am told that
there are to be further startling revela-
tions when the investigation OF the frauds
in the Navy Department is resumed. It
has been conveniently postponed until
after the election, but cannot OF course
be postponed much longer, for If II is
Congress will be here to take hold Of the
matter. / also learn that if the cases in
court ever come to trial the revelations Of
trickery and fraud will be surprising.

Grant Said to be Opposing McCulIoch.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-It is rumored
here that Gen. Grant intends to do what
he can to prevent the confirmation of Mr..
McCulloch as Secretary of the Treasury.
The story goes that he has had an un-
friendly feeling against McCulloch for
years, growing out of the dismissal of
Secretary Stanton by President Johnson
This step was taken in the face of pro-
test from Grant, and in the controversy
Mr.. McCullOch took President Johnson's
part so boldly that Grant was much
offended

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2.-InfOrmatiOn
from Republican sources gives a different
cOloring to the affairs which occurred at
Loreauville Yesterday. A Blaine, Logan
and Kellogg meeting was being held
there, which, it is alleged, was broken up
by armed Democrats, who fired at the
speakers and into the assembled Republi-
cans. Eight men were killed and
wounded. All the Republican speakers
were arrested by the local militia and
committed to Jail without authority of
the law. Intense excitement prevails in
the narish.

i have always enQeaV0red to take rosy
view of the situation, / never had much
hope of Cleveland's carrying this State
until 1 saw the parade of the business
men who support Cleveland last Satur-
day. Nothing like it has ever been seen
in New York. Heretofore all parades of
the business men of the metropolis have
been in the interests of the Republican
candidates. Never before have men of
the financial and social standing of those
who took part in last Saturdays process
sion turned out under Democratic aus
pices, and doubt whether large proper
tiOn ever participated in a political pa
rade before. When thought, while view
ing the long procession, that it was the
New York business men who carried New
York State for Garfield, there seemed no
room for doubt that this time they would
turn the tide the other way.
The counter demonstration of the Blaine
business men yesterday, although it was
considerably larger than that Of Satur-
day, has not changed my opinion, for what
saw OF 1t was not so respectable in ap-
pearance, and there is little doubt Of its
having been largely composed of men from
other cities. A Brooklyn friend of mine
told me just now that the elevated train
IN which he rode to the ferry last evening
was filled With Blaine paraders who
crossed over to Brooklyn with him. The
train which he took at the same time on
Saturday, after the Democratic parade,
was comparatively empty.
