The excitement over this election
has been quite lively among the

success.
Mr. Eyarts tried to he Senator
once before. That was in 1861,

he will give them iinc dinners. and
he will be great fIvuriLe among

But the great factor in this eicc
tion is a gentleman named Blaine.
1t is the man cf Maine who makes
Mr.. Evarts Senator. Immediately
after Dir. Blainc's nomination for
President, Mr. Evarts came forward
as his advocate. While other greai
Republican orators hesilattd or re-
belled, Evarts lost no time in prov
ing his orthodoxy by supporting the
candidate Of his party; aud now hr
gets his reward.
Thus we see that Mr.. Blaine is
still the commander-in- chief of tn,
Republican army. We congratulate
him on tue good fortune which has
attended his present demonstration.
The mugwumps and the Stalwar,s

that his supremacy j. unguestioned
