LONDON. Nov. 4.--The Morning Nsns.
in ieadsr devoted 70 the American po-
litioal contest, says: The Republicans
have much In their favor. They are in
power. They have governed the Re-
public for % years. They settled the
slavery question forever, and they have
the most heroic recollestions IN the
Northern and Western States associated
with their name, but the Republican
party has done its work and fallen into
vices which knQ ascendancy produces
ia all political parties. IL has become
moro anxious 10 retain Office than 10
perform any great national services. Ii
has had candidate In Blaine who
comes forward as q representative OF
party machine. Democratic victory no
longer means the return Of Southern
men 20 monopoly power. Old sectional
jealouaies are ooId beyond the power Of
warming 10 new life. The success Of
Cleveland will reopen no closed contro-
versies; II will simply mean change in
the man at the helm. Old issues be-
tween Republicans and Democrats have
lost their force. There are many indi-
cations that an important turning point
Ia the domestic politics Of the Union
has been reached.

for comment in the American election.
IL greatly rejoioes that whoever ia sue
cessful, no cloud in the horizon threatens
10 overshadow the existing amity Of
America and England, and Enclishmen
can afford 10 wait the result with entire
confidence. Whether Blaine or CIeve-
land be elected. there will be no dissoin-
ton of ntisnity of The harnony and
goodwill happily suhsisting between
Great Britain and her najesty's eldest
daughter.
