as the potato bugs were not counted
in Roth beat Gribben-score 25 tc

The People were Awake TO the
Danger.

New York Times Free Trade Dem.)
There is no doubt that the result
of the election in Oregon is partly
due to the prominence given to the
tariff question in choosing a member
of Congress and to the uninstructed
and apprehensive state of mind of the
people on that question, which has
as yet been very imperfectly discuss
ed in that region. The lumber and
wool interests are very prominent in
Oregon, aud there has been good
ideal of shrewd working upon the
fears of those concerned in them lest
they should suffer from the removal
of the duties which is proposed by
the Democratic party.

Conceding the votes of Connecticut
and New Jersey to Mr. CleYeland, and
regarding Indiana, California and Ne
vada as doubtful, Gen. Harrison has a
majority in the electoral college.
The figures show the election of
David B. Hill as Governor and of
Hugh j. Grant as mayor. Mr.. Hill
has made strong canvass. The nom
ination of Mr.. Hewitt had the effect
which his supporters principally in
tended-namely, the defeat Of Mr..
Cleveland by the division of the Dem
ocratic forces in New York.
The political lesson of the election
is that the national supremacy of the
Democratic party has been sacrificed
to the ambition of David B. Hill and
Abram S. Hewitt, and the fact which
Democrats throughout the country
should lay to heart that, in this game
of politics, their possession of the i'm.
perial patronage of New York is OF ial
more importance than the govern
ment OF the Union.-N. Y. Herald.
