were sadly at variance yesterday morning
in their summaries of the election. The

riot act to Col. Wheelock and insist that
hereafter no editorials shall be written until
a consultation has been held.

of times.
The Democrats didn't care for the legis-
lature or they would have captured it too.
Of course lit was the hardest fight the
Republicans ever had in the state" as the
organ remarks This has been apparent
two or three weeks. from the way they
have been squirming and bowling.
The people of Fountain. Fillmore county,
evidently remember the way in which
Lovely carried the primaries there.
From the organ: the prophecies of
disaffection in the Fifth district have
proven true to certain extent" An ad-
mission after election don't hurt as badly
as an admission before election.

nominate Edmund Rice for president. He
seems to be :nvineible.

time cOndoling with Capt. Reed.
Capt Reed is probably glad that he
didn't capture that nomination. at North
field.
Herbert is a good fellow. and it is pity
that he died so young.
Langdon never will be missed.
The Democratic gains throughout the
state are enormous and astonishing.
The Republicans console themselves
with Nelson and Lind, and attempt to
look cheerful.
What does McGll think OF the lndorse-
ment of his own hdne?

didn't take any stock IN the vile SANDERS
circulated about Anes.
Mr.. Gitfillan will have to put up another
