The Canse OF Defeat.

The causes which led TO the defeat of
the Republican party at the late cleo
tioh are being discussed in different
new spapers. We do not know that any
GOOD can come from such discussion,
and the sooner it is dropped, perhaps,
tbs better II will be for the party and
the country at large. IL is generally
wise 10 let by-gones be by-gones. Re
publicans must learn to be maguani-
NOUS rs we'll as just, If they wish TO be
successful in future contests with the
Democrats. Ii they continue to cherish
resentment for fancied sights in the
past, the next campaign will be but =
repetition Of the one through which we
have just passed. The petty jealousiee
which have torn the Republican ranks,
and defeated its candidates, are source
of regret, and greatly belittle many
men VINO heretofore .spired TO high po-
sitions and claimed TO DO actuated by
the pur-st Intentions. The part they
plavel exposed their hypocritical ma
lures, aud should be lesson to every
one who in disposed TO follow in Their
ANONYMOUS footsteps. Many Of then
will yet hate themsel yes for their base
ness in the late contest. while other
will curse their folly and seek TO maxi
PREPARATION for 1t in future contests. TIL,
Republicans of our city and Stat
should be careful that they are no
guilty of acts similar TO those we con
denim. II Is high time that they sh oul'
cease al nicssring. that they shoul
bury ali revengeful feelings, ignore a.
rings OF clques, and act solely fror
nobler motives, il they wish TO succee
in elec'ing heir candidates. All VIII

The Election.

The Hon. John W. Deering was elected
mayor of Portland yesterday by majority
of 311 votes. How this result was brought
about comparison of the vote of yesterday
with that of two weeks ago clearly discloses.
The vote for Cox which on March amount
ed TO 436 fell off yesterday to al and the
balance apparently went very largely to Mr.
Deering. Thus the highly edifying spec
taele was presented of the liquor men and
the gentlemen who style themselves Ad-
vanced Prohibitionists booming the same
candidate. The rum men we're amply justi-
fed for their confidence III Mr.. Deering by
his public record, for ever since ne began
his political career he has been on their
side. The Prohibitionists had no such
justification, and we do not believe they
voted for him because they supposed his
election would advance the interests Of the
cause they profess to have at heart.
Their action yesterday was dictated by
spite purely; and the cause which they
profess TO serve was sacrificed to crafty
this feeling. The responsibility for Mr..
DeeriDg's election rests upon them, all the
same. 1t is safe to predict that before the
year is through they will be very anxious to
shirk it.
The effect of Mr.. Deerjng's election on
the conduct of municipal affairs in general
will not be much. Both branches of the coun-
ell are Republican and the mayor will not be
allowed to dictate the course of the admin
istration. Its worst effect will be its moral
effect. That man of his record should be
able to go on year after year increasing his
vote is calculated to greatly shake ones
confidence in the wisdom and good inten-
ttons of the people.

Mr.. John 81. Fogg, the Republican candi-
date, has conducted himself throughout the
contest just closed in manner that has
commanded the admiration of all his politi-
cal friends and the respect of the reputable
part of his political foes. He has refused
to make any pledges, when pledges might
have greatly enhanced the chances of his
success, and has kept himself free from any
suspicion of countenancing questionable
methods to compass his election. His be-
hayior throughout the contest has been that
of man who preferred defeat with honor
to success through trickery, either on his
own part or on the part of his supporters.
We venture to assert without much fear of
contradiction that Nj. Fogg today enjoys
the confidence and respect of the reputa-
BILE part of the Democracy to a greater ex-
tent than the man they voted for yester-
dav

That the Mormons do not regard the Presi-

That the Mormons do not regard the Presi-
dents reference to polygamy as altogether
meaningless may be inferred from the Nor
mon newspapers. Some do not suppress
their feelings of alarm while others openly
crilicise. The Desert News has perhaps been
the bodest. II says:
The President has gone ont of his way to allude
TO polygramy, which he claims to be destructive to
religion and the family. He advocates a repressiye
policy on the subj ect. He speazs unadvisedly on
this matter, the ssstem to which he aludes is de-
strucive of neither of the elements of society mem
toned by him, but is. on the contrary preservative
OF both. That is undoubtedly the weakest portion
