The question how the Democratic victory
will affect the administration is receiyinG,
much more attention than how the victory
was brought about. The most Of the poli-
ticians declare, without stopping to think,
the appointments will be made faster
now." They argue that MIR. Cleveland VIII
be convinced that the Democratic party
can succeed without the Mugwumps, and
that he Will turn from his previous policy
and follow the bent of his party.-[Holt

The effect of the defeat in New yorl,
upon Republicans generally will be to close
up the ranks, and especially In that state,
where they must see by this time that they
| cannot succeed as long as the party divides,
| into local factions. When we present q
| firm and undivided front to the enemy the
| fight may be hard one, but 1t cannot beap
long one, for the capacity Of the Democratic
party TO blunder is hmitlessnlt only re-

| The elections are over. Let us forget
| them, and get down to profitable employ
| ment 1t is of no use now to quarrel or
mourn over the result. The best thing now
is to recognize our neighbors as our friends,
honorable alike, no matter what may be
their political sentiments. The day is past
when one can be ostracized in Rockingham
for the political name he bears. Let us all
be true Virglnians and whole-hearted
Amerfcans-united In the common bonds OF
national patriotism.-[T CIV. Ya.) Peo-

Tobeconsistent the Democratic party after
prating of "reformn so long, should be the
most earnest advocates OF this reform, but
the Jewel "consistency'' was not invented
for the use of politicians. The Democratic
party will cling to the spoils system as long
as It is in power, whatever may be Mr..
Cleveland's inclinations.-[W Wright County

We believe that President Cleveland could
do great work in the way of retrench-
ment and reform by doing away with the
Office Of revenue agents and let hecollector
and his subordinate officers be responsible
forthe enforcement of the revenue laws and
