effort to suppress any manifestation Of con-
Germ, but the collecting emotions are too
strong for concealmsnt. They are battling
between tha desire TO see party succeed, ana

other hand, are a little apprehensive OF the
future, and naturally show much concern,

strength Of their part to carry the next Prssi-
Dental election. The Republicans In once,
when asked fer their opinion as 10 the cause
OF the result, attribute 1t to the tariff quss-
ton, while the Democrats say it 10 due to the
policy Of the Administration in not giving
the offices to members of It's own party.

and that is the clerks are all very much asi.
tated over the result, and will not be able to
