One OF the notable features of the
campaign which has Just ended was
the extent to which the practice OF
uniforming clubs was carried The
first appearance oi this mania dates
back to the Wide Awake caps and
capes OF the first Lincoln campaign,
but the fashion was soon allowed to
drop. To what causc it owes its re-
vival we are not advised, hut what
ever it was il has operated about
equally on both the great national
parties. As result, the past can
vass grew into what is known as Il
"dry" campaign. That is TO say, SO
much money was spent on caps and
uniforms that there was very little
left to lavish upon the cooling lager
and the inspiring corn juice. In San
Francisco the practice of uniforming
clubs was developed to an unheard of
extent, to the great disgust of the
saloon-keepers. There could not
we'll have been less than from sixteen
to eighteen thousand uniformed men
in that city, divided almost equally
between the two parties. In the pun
chase OF these uniforms, and in the
excursions which were devised to
show them off, enormous sums of
money were spent. Verify modern
campaigning is becoming Il science,
and its professors are best qualified
when they have well filled purses.
Gen. Butler, who is old and jaun-
diced, and cross-grained as well as
cross-eyed, referred TO the professions
and evolutions of these uniformed or
ganizations as monkey shines. u
They undoubtedly, however, gave a
picturesque and dashing character to
the long and trying campaign which
has Just come to an end.

THE Democratic editor who could
be cheerful under present circum-
stances would be second edition Of
Mark Tapley. In the first place, he
Is confronted by the defeat in Los
Angeles county Of lot Of excellent
gentlemen who have made splendid
officials in the past. When he comes
to the State at large the situation is
equally melancholy, although there
the situation is not intensified by
personal considerations. -Four years
ago the people elected Stoneman,
Democrat, Governor by a plurality OF
5000. Senator Miller has tele-
graphed to Blaine that his plurality is
10000. This il undoubtedly an ex-
aggeration, but the Republican ma
jority may touch 10000 from present
indications. In addition, the Demo
Gratis appear TO have lost the whole
six members OF Congress from this
State. To add TO the rather sad out
look the result on the national
ticket is close and may possibly he
against Cleveland. Still we decline
to despair. We have seen skies just
as lowering before and we have wit
messed their transformation into
cleaning star-studded firmaments.
As to California, she is notoriously
the most capricious State in the
Union. Her people exactly answer
st. Paul's description of the Athen-
ians-these volatile voters are always
going about seeking something new in
politics. During residence Of twelve
years in this State the writer has
never seen il carried twice on the
same issue. The fact that California
has been carried by the Republicans
by large plurality this year is sim
ply proof positive that they will lose
il two years hence by az large or a
larger majority. The big majority OF
the Democrat Haight was followed by
the large majority Of the Republican
Booth, that in turn by the large plu-
rality for the Democrat Irwin, and
that by the decisive plurality for the
Republican Perkins, whose expanded
figures were simply wiped out OF the
comparison by the unprecedented
plurality given for the Democrat
Stoneman. Ride and tie seems to be
the disposition Of our people. In no
portion of the United States has the
idea of rotation in office been more
cordially adopted than in the Golden
State. Those OF our readers who feel
disposed to despond because the
Democrats have received good wal
Looping in this State this year should
console themselves with the facts at
which we have glanced. 1t is the
turn of the Republicansto be trounced
next time and their leaders from long
experience know it well.

A Possible Peril.

Close elections have become very
frequent Of late years. They have oc-
Cured all through our history but
rarely in national contests. Every
one OF course remembers the close
struggle between Jefferson and Burr.
That arose from n defective feature o I
our electoral system, that was quick
ly remedied, by which the candidate
who received the highest number of
the electoral votes should be Presi-
dent, while he who received the next
highest number should be Vice-Pres-
ident. Perhaps the most remarkable
instance OF close political elections in
our history, until we come down to
1876, was that in which jeremiah Ma
son, the last Democratic Governor of
Massachusetts, until Gaston's time,
was elected by a majority OF one. The
struggle between Tilden and Hayes
was determined by majority of one
electoral vote, although there were
peculiar circumstances about that
vote. Mr. Hayes had really only 1865
electoral votes. The Electoral Col
leges ut that time consisted of 800
votes and ii required 1855 to elect To
enable Mr.. Hayes to get the sixteen
he lacked OF u majority the memora-
BILE Visiting Statesmen and Electoral
Commission agencies had to DE resort
ed to, by the aid of which South Caro-
lima, Florida and Louisiana were
counted for Hayes, resulting in his
election by exactly one majority. In
our State we have had some very
close elections, the celebrated Con
gressional contest between Wiggin-
ton and Pacheco being n case in point.
Mr.. Pacheco, Republican, claimed
his election by one majority, in the
old Fourth, now the present Sixth
district. The case was carried, by
his Democratic opponent, Mr.. Wig
ginton, to the House OF Representa-
tives, where he secured the seat as
the result OF n laborious investigation
of alleged Irregularities and unlawful
voting in certain precincts in the dis
trict. The last instance in point oc-
CURED four years ago, when five OF
the Hancock electors carried the State
by the trifling majority OF 10, one of
them, Judge Terry, being defeated.
On all grounds, ii is desirable, when
the American people express their
preference in an important election,
that il should be done in II decisive
manner, one way or the other. Some
day IA great contest will occur upon
questions arising out of close vote,
and there may not be enough patriot
ism or good humor in the parties
of the day to submit to the
officially announced vote; al
though, unquestionably, under our
system, fair majority OF one ought
to be as conclusive as one of n
hundred thousand. But theory, where
excited bodies of men are in question,
is very different thing from practice,
and the American people may not
always be as law abiding as they are
now. However, it is an evil without
remedy under our existing constitu-
ton and we may have the luck to
escape any serious complications
Under the circumstances, the best
intellects of the country ought to
devote great deal OF their time, for
some years to come, to repairing the
deficiencies in our national organic
law.

More Striking Miners,

CoLUNBUs, o., Aug. 2.-All the mir
ers of Sandy Creek Valley, along the
Ohio Central railway, quit work to-day.
Union miners are all out in both val
leys. The cause for quitting at Sandy
Creek, is said to be, because some of the
cars of the Hooking Valley Syndicate
are being used. The usual eighty cents
was looked for by the miners on Septem-
Der LIST, but the operators now say no
more coal will be mined in the valley at
higher figures than fifty cents. As this
valley was the principal support of idle
miners in the Hooking region, ii is
now thought crisis in the strike will
soon be reached. Trouble is feared from
the same quarters.

Some oueer customs in Mexieo.

Some ofthe customs of Mexico amused
me vastly. They always raise the price
when you wal anything in large quan
titles. The Mexican Central road WANT
ed large quantity of ties, and the con
tractors went to a Mexican and ordered
10000 from him on trial. The ties were
found to he suitable, and then they or
dered 100000. Then the man doubled
the price They tried to argue the mat
ter with him, but he said if they wanted
so much more work of him they had to
pay more. Another funny incident,
which was related to me by one of the
parties concerned in it, was about a
Judge. His signature was wanted on a
certain paper. In the ordinary course
of law six months would have elapsed
before he signed the paper, A great deal
OF money was involved in the matter, so
the interested persons went to the Judge
and made him proposition.
"lf you will sign this paper ut once"
said they, "we'll give you 5000, and not
a living soul shall know it,"
Not living soul?" he asked.
'No, not one.o
"Well," answered the Judge. "make il
