The Election.

The uncertain result of the presidential
election leaves small opportunity for intelli-
gent comment. The most that can be said ia
that there was no such uprising of indie
pendent voters as the opposition have SO
noisily claimed would be seen.
1t is also evident that we have the st. John
men to thank for the closeness Of the vote in
New York. Composed almost entirely of Re-
publicans, these so.called temperance men
have deliberately voted to take the govern
ment out of the hands of the only party that
gives the slightest promise of help to the tenn
perance cause.

The returns have come in slowly, but the
state has gone for Blaine, and the Republi-
cans are sure that they have elected their en-
tire state ticket, secured the legislature, and
gained four Congressman. Returns from ass
towns and wards show a net Democratic gain
of 777S on the presidential ticket as compared
with 1850, and later returns show a smaller
average Democratic gain. This indicates
that Blaine has carried the state by 10, 900.

One Of the surprises of the election is the
way in which the bottom of the Butler can
vass fell out. In New York city, where he
was expected to stampede the working mems
vote, be got less than 1000 votes, and less
than Il. 600 in the whole state of New York.
In Massachusetts,, Boston included, his total
vote is only about $4,000. One would think
it must be serious question with "the old
man" whether this result pays him for tapp-
ing his bar'l and putting in month Of hard
work on the stump, and making an exhibition
of himself generally.

OF no avail whatever. Cond0rs have already
learned TO fear a gun; and with their won-

Birds soon learn TO avoid danger, a. has
been proved since the erection OF telegraph

be strange IL the condor does no. learn 10
