the dissatisfaction of democrats who wanted a

ever, that the democrats are left in very good
shape. AS one of the curious things in the
election, he said that in the OF eny der, VINO
is a protectiOnist democrat, the two strongest
protection districts voted against him, he
got his election by votes The tariff Jrin

tain quarters, 1t will assemble the of the
democrats all those free traders VINO vote the
republican ticket on account of old :,ssorii.-

thus get all the tariff reform vote, and be the
