THE New York Sn7e thus comments
on the immensity of the recent Republi-
can victory:
With the transfer of the House of
Representative to the Republicans,
there arises the prospect for an addition
to the Union of decisive political i'm
portance. We shall have some new
States. The Northwestern border touch
es three communities which have long
been knocking for admission. Dakota,
Montana and Washington Territory are
ready to come in. Montana inclines to
Democracy, but Washington and Dako-
ia are Republican. That would certain
ly add four more to the Republican
majority in the Senate, and if Montana
should become Republican it would add
six, and if Dakota should be divided in
to two it might add eight, and besides
there are Idaho, New Mexico and Utah,
all with aspirations. The Republican
strength would also be increased in the
House of Representatives. Another still
more important result would be the en-
largement of the Republican majority
in the Electoral College. 1t would be
Just SO much harder to elect the next
Democratic President The immensity
of the Republican wave has not yet
been fully estimated.

GOOD ENOUGH.

A Cambridge Dispatch says: The
official returns from the Seventeenth
Congressional District, show J. d. Tay-
lor's plurality to be five thousand and
four, a gain of nearly fourteen hundred
over any previous plurality and an ex-
cess of one hundred and ten votes over
the plurality for Harrison. This mag
nificent majority is splendid triumph
for Col. Taylor, and speaks louder than
words of the estimation in which he is
held by his constituent. Possibly, his
journalistic defamers may take pointer
from the figures of the official count and
wonder Just where their mighty infu-
ence was felt. The arrows of malice
and personal spite will not harm pub
lie servant who has been faithful and
true to his trust, as has been Congress
man Taylor.

THE CAMP-FIRES OF THE G. A. R

THE CAMP-FIRES OF THE G. A. R.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
"All mean by this paper is to en-
courage the men who saved the Union
to be of good cheer" says General Sher-
man, concluding breezy little sketch
in the North american ReoieIC. 1t is a
tribute to the camp-fires of the G. A.
R., those gatherings of old comrades to
''swap lies" and eat hard tack in memo
ory of the rude times when they flung
themselves down about the blazing fag-
OTIS under the clear heavens to eat their
evening fare, tell stories, sing songs and
speculate on their chances for life in to-
morrow'S battle. The old General sees
in these gatherings an influence to keep
the patriotic blood astir and send into
the new generation thrill of admira-
tion for the old, and create a sentiment
of love for the honor and glory of coun-
try. These campfire yarns will in time
''be the warp and woof of history. For
mathematical accuracy one should go to
the interesting tables of statistics COM
piled by adjutants general, but for the
living radiant truth commend me to the
campfire"
There will be some eXaggeration of
valor, some extra coloring of heroic
deeds, ,perchance, as men are apt to give
modest license to imagination when re-
counting long past triumphs, achieve
ments, and acts of daring and of courage,
"but sweet angel will blot out these
sins, of invention, and some bravo may
be pardoned in the soldier who shoul-
ders his crutch and shows how fields
were won. Moreover, the camp-fires
are both productive and corrective.
"They afford opportunities for wit and
humOr, they prick the bubbles of the
boastful and stamp as genuine the pure
gold of heroic action and of patient en-
durance. No man can to-day go to a
campfire of any Grand Army post and
successfully boast of deeds not genuine
without certain exposure"
Another and the higher value of the
1000 camp-fires now held is their service
in averting the ever threatening danger
that 'the next generation may conclude
that the wise man stays at home, and
leaves the fool to take the kicks and buff
fets of war;" danger thrust upon the
country by the cOntemptous treatment
of Union soldiers by Democratic legisla-
tors and office holders. ''This danger
can best be met by just such an organi-
zation as the grand army of the Repub-
lie, with its camp-fres of song and story,
to irradiate the gloom of ordinary, hum
drum existence. where an auditor of the
treasury would measure life as he
would bushel of spoiled oats" Gen
eral Sherman is a spirit of loyalty, good
for this country, and patriotic words
from his grim, war accustomed lips
should inspire the hearts of young
Americans to choose wisely that which
is best for country, home, and manhood.
