WASHINGTON, Oct. l5.-The excited
and uneasy feeling throughout the
executive departments Of late, awaiting
the results of the election, has gwen
place to great dissatisfaction among
thousands of government employees in
Washington, and routine business is
proceeding quietly as usual. 4 pumber
of prominent officials are still absent
from the city, however. and many
clerks are already arranging for leaves
OF absence to go home to vote at the
presidential election. Political matters,
therefore, continue to attract attention
on all hands and, although to-day there
is no apparent excitement, the Novem-
ber election is yet manifestly the upper
most subject of interest.

years he became helpless cripple, and

Blaine's Canvass.

No man in the history of American
politics ever made a grander, more Dig
nified or more telling canvass than Mr..
Blaine. 1t is no fault of his that he is
beaten. Accepting the responsibility of
leadership imposed upon him by the
popular demand of the great masses of
the Republican party he entered the
canvass with courage, fortitude, and,
so far as he was personally concerned,
conducted it with such unselfish patriot
sions of admiration even from the more
honorable of his opponents. He did not
make n single mistake from the begin
ming to the end. Leaving home in Sep
TENDER he made a tour of six weeks,
during which he visited thirteen States,
meeting and mingling with all classes
of people, and speaking positively and
pointedly upon the pending issues over
two hundred times, without giving ut
terance to sentiment or sentence
that could in any way be turned against
him by the most malicious of his polit-
ical enemies. Every speech was ire
sistble in logic, clear and simple in
diction, and model of rhetorical
excellence. Wherever he went he
strengthened himself and his party
with the masses. He met and heroically
overcame every obstacle and every ele-
ment of opposition that confronted him,
only to be beaten in the end by the
stupid blunder of one man, n clergy
man eighty years of age, unfortunately
put to the front as the spokesman of a
delegation of ministers that waited upon
him, on his arrival in New York. Up
to the moment Rev. DIR, Burchard gave
expression to his remarkable ALTERATION
about Rum, Romanism and REBEL
ion,n the election of Mr.. Blaine was as
sured, and the Democratic National
Committee so admits. That was some
thing no man could foresee, and the
damaging effects of which no power
was able TO counterfeit in the few days
intervening between it and the election.
That one stupid utterance, for which
Mr. Blaine was in no way respon.
sibla, cost the Republicans from 1900
TO 10000 Irish votes in New York
Kings and Westchester Counties, who
cared more for slight put on theil

than they did for principles, We
Mr.. Blaine is returned beaten in thu
Empire State by paltry plurality o
1,147 votes. He had overcome every
thing that stood before him. He ha6
blotted out the phenomenal majority o
$4,000 by which Grover Cleveland wa
elected Governor; he had downed tn
mugwump opposition with the New
York Times, Herald, Post, and Harper
Weekly, and hundreds of thousands o
dollars of English free trade money a

ly made to represent Mr.. Blaine's own
views among the thousands Of Catholics
who up to that hour had expected TO
support Mr.. Blaine. BY these desperate
methods enough Of that element was
won back to turn the tide Of battle In
favor of Cleveland.
Mr.. Blaine, by his canvass, made Ohio
secure in October, wrested Michigan
from the grasp of Fusionists, turned the
scale in Wisconsin. cut down the Bour-
bon majority in West Virginia to q
merely nominal figure, routed the indie
pendent mugwumps of Massachusetts,,
with their millions of money, and
boosted control of the State, until the
grand old Commonwealth rolled up for
him plurality of 5000, and returned
to his admiring people crowned with
fresh laurels, as the master statesman
of his generation, only to find himself
beaten in the end by a solid South and
an unforeseen accident
Mr.. Blaine may not be President, but
he has won honors in this fight which
will add fresh luster to his name, and
give him still closer hold upoR the
hearts of the American people.-Cleve-
land Leader.
