The Journal is not an '1-told-you-so" 1t
is not in the chronic habit of saying, as are
few Of its contemporaries, even some in In
dianapolis, whenever anything occurs, that it
is ''as the Journal said," or predicted, or
demanded" But we must say now that the
statement that the result of the New York
election was an unexpected surprise to all
Republicans is not true. There were many
Republicans who expected exactly what hap
pened; and we may truthfully assert
that nearly all intelligent, we'll
posted Republicans feared Davenports
defeat, and had done so for week before
election day. On the morning of election the
Journal, from the best information it could
obtain, and using its best judgment, said it
would not be surprised at Democratic success.
The only people who were serenely confident
of Davenport's election were the mugwumps,
and those who worship them at greater or
less distance, who have the idea that
the world is held in its orbit
through the mighty influence of mug
wumpery. For one, the Journal has never
been appalled, at the size or power Of the
mugwumps. Immediately after the election
of 1884 it analysed the New York vote, and
reached the conclusion then that there could
not be over 5000 of them at the extreme
limit. In the light of the election of 1885
we are satisfied that estimate was 1000
too large. Not being afflicted with an undue
idea Of the importance of the mugwumps, the
Journal did not believe that all that was
necessary to make certain Republican success
this year was to pass over the conduct of
the campaign into their hands, and to insult
and crowd off real, bona fde, consistent Re
publicans. When we saw that done we were
satisfied that the result of the experiment was
doubtful. The counting of the ballots has
removed the doubt and demonstrated its folly
and failure

operation of all who believe in good govern
ment The Democratic party, with its eyes
turned backward, still joys along in the ruts of
partisan prejudice and greed, and lifts up its
voice for the spoils. 1t is left for intelligent
and patriotic voters to choose between the two,
bearing ever in mind that the Democratic par
ty has learned no good thing nor accepted any
good thing that the Republican party has not
beaten into it and forced upon it.

THE Dolphin, the dispatch boat built by
John Roach & Son, has been accepted and
transferred to the government. This is the
boat that would not do at all sixty DAYS ago.
But at that time tie wicked Roach had not
been driven into bankruptcy. The infamy
of the treatment accorded the greatest of
American ship-builders is becoming apparent
now. After having destroyed his reputation
as ship-builder, Mr.. Whitney now confesses
his shame by indorsing the work.

ACCORDING to the Washington Republican,
the latess trick practiced by the reform ad-

animation, as is authorized by law, and then
continuing them in the same positions per-
manently, which is not permissible About
hundred substitute clerks are now said to
be on regular duty.wi the expectation of

its Democratic friend in the strain. The dan

Wall street, is now gentleman-a bour- gcoise gentleman, Her mother wears a gray wig and is "dowager "a bour- geoise dowager Mabel is now too much mothered. She is shown off everywhere for all she is worth. Her. father boons her as if she were stocks. Her beauty is paraded as if she were a handsome dividend. An article of speculation she is. Her parents want to wed her to a foreign count, or, as a last resort, to an American millionaire. Everywhere she goes her mother goes there, too.
 Everywhere but one place. For when Mabel goes riding her mother does not go; only the coachman. Often of breezy mornings they are seen on the road in Mabeps Victoria. By the side of the coachman sits Aimble footman. He opens the door of the heart and lets down the steps of pride. It is Cupid.
 Mabel Maud's love for the coachman is not wholly emotional. Calmly has she reasoned upon it; carefully debated it. She has compared the coachman with the young men of the oldest families" who call upon her, and with her father. The coachman is handsomer than her father, and less effeminate than her admirers. Ice latter have small voices, and talk like women. The coachman has a big voice, and talks like an actor in a play. Her father always talks of stocks. 1t is such reliefto hear man talk of horses
 Alter all, Mabel Maud is undecided All her affections had been ameng the donestics. She had loved her nurse she had kindly memory of the cook. It was departing from their tender care that she met the coachman.
 What would the nurse say? What did she say? "Wed the coachman." And that is what the cook said; and that is what Mabel Maud did.
 One day her Victoria relied away over a path of flowers, and passed by all the roadside inns, and stopped at chapel. A short chapter ended long story Mabel did not wish to abandon her friends. She did not know which friends to abandon. She stayed with the friends of her childhood.-Puck.
