Correspondence of the RECORD UHIoN.I
NEW YORK, November 7, 1885.
The election being over and the fog partly
blown away, l find that nobody knows Just
how the result was attained, except by the
power of votes for one in excess Of another,
which, as Nasty would say, is res;ng anufi
fur Dimicrat." To tell you just how it is
is to say that here in Manhattandom We
know 10 more about it than you in the
Golden State. The chief cause may be SET
down, though, 10 the sober second thought
of the Democrats. They wanted, many OF
the true blues, to punish the Hill wing. but
it wouldn't do, you know, TO give the Ad-
ministration such blow from the shoulder
just now-there's toe much to hope for
from Cleveland yet. But really. the election
was tame. | do not remember so spiritIess n
one in the last ten years. For really
breezy polling day, We went back on our
reputation sadly. l spent all day at pre-
cinct polls, and saw no great manifestation
of enthusiasm anywhere. That night Tam

low down, is that our local Democrats are
frightened half out of their wits by the
course Of the Administration on the civil
service reform. There is not one in ten of
the hard-shells who are friendly to the
policy, and disguise it as they please the
ugly fact crops out.

you know, is between hay and grass, when
the society people have not laid out their
plans for the festive season. But with the
opening of the second fortnight of the
month, we look for receiving and dancing
and marrying fashionables to blossom
out, and from that on to the middle of
March there will be life in society circles.
The theaters have been the centers of
attraction thus far in the fall O. the year"
and they have all done well and some OF
them better. There's Daly's. the Star, Wal
Jacks and Casino that have been coming

the latter temple of folly Monday night. AT
the Star the only Anderson has been the de-
light of Abbey and the public alike. She
has been before US now these three weeks
and over, and the public does not tire of
her chaste acting and classical reading.
Monday night we are to see her as Juliet,
IN which, perhaps, she is without peer at
this date. Anderson leaves US in two weeks
and takes up i route that will finally bring
her to your. coast, and probably to your
city. Nevada's grand concerts, with the
support of Vergnet, Bull and CAST, have
been the fashionable, and the costly things.
