IHE LONDON PRESS.
LONDON, Nov. 9-Conoerning the American
Presidential election the Daily N.ins says:
1.-The Republicans who revolted four years
ago manly returned TO the allegiance.
Though Mr.. Cleveland's Adm nistrat on has
been dignified and successful it can hardly be
said that lie has opened the new era in Ameri-
can politics proclaimed for him"
The Post says: Mr.. Cleveland's attitude
has been friendly, but for eleetoneering pur-
poses he was ready 10 fiout at England. II is
impossible in the rcumstances for the En-
glish not TO feel small qualification at the
failure OF these small tactics. England may
regard the change OF admin stration with IN
difference. II would be unfair to lay over
much stress upon the reckless expressions Of
Mr.. Blaine against England. The ,wo
countries have lived in harmony under Repub-
liean rule IN America and can again"
The Ieleqr pa says: slight interest has
been taken here in the elect ons. Englishmeu
have shed wen OF the Democrats. but recent
events have shown six OF one and half dozen
of the other"
The Chronicle says: 1T is pretty well under
stood that Harrison is a mar onette and Blame
pulls the strings. The accession OF the Repub-
lieans 10 power stiles any hopes that the Ia
bors Of the Fisheries Commission may be rats
fed"
The Standard says: There never was a
more absurd fact on than that alleging that
British gold has been used Law SHY 10 defeat
Blaine and his nominal leader, Harr son. or
that the English are mortified at the over
throw OF Cleveland. or all the people in the
world we have the least reason 70 be grateful
TO Mr.. Cleveland.
The Times says: "Though Mr.. CIeveIand's
iaternal policy has been more remarkable for
clpac IS and uprightness than any thing 10
which the Republ cans can point in recent
years, we can not regret the event which may
be regarded as N appropriate PENALTY for his
subseTvienee TO the meanest Influences in
American politics. We are sincerely sorry,
however, that the change involves the retire
ment of Minister Phelps.
Mr.. CLEVELAND Cheerful
WAsHINGTOS, Nov. 9.-Litt.e was talked
about at the regular Cab net meeting yester-
day but the election, lis results. and the causes
that led thereto While the gathering was not
as jolly as il sometimes Is, the President
was the most cheerful gentleman pres
ent. As member OF the Cabi-
net expressed il, NJ Cleveland took
his defeat like an old gambler. He said that
perhaps d was a m stake politically 10 have
forced the tar issue, but he thought it was
time to br ng il before the country. and h did
not regret in the least having done so. He DID
not cons der it personal defeat but a simple
quest on OF an issue which the people had de-
term nj d, he cons .dered, unwisely He had
nothing 10 regret, would make no change in
his policy, and hoped that a Tariff Reform bill
would pass Congress before the expiration OF
his term.
CARLISLE MAY BE 1HRowN OUT
CINCINNATT, Nov. at is reported that ow.
ing 20 the fact that the ballots cast for Spe ker
Carlisle in Kentucky we're pr tinted on spec al
paper. violating the State law as TO dfstn-
gu shing features, the votes for h m in Camp
bell and Kenton counties viii be thrown out
thus elect ng Mr. Hamilton, his Republican OPP
ponent. The cauvassing board Of Campbell
County is Republican.
SIR JOHN on THE RESULT.
OTTAWA. Ont, Nov. a.-Sir John Macdonald
was interviewed on the subject o, the elections
" the United States. He said: Il can not tell
tn causes which won the election for Mr.. Har-
rtson. As TO the International difficulty Presi-
dc nj Cleveland remains in power until March
next, and what course he VIII adopt l can no.
sly. have 10 reason 10 believe that the Re
publicans are host le TO Canada. They favor a
protective tarif not uni Ike cur own. There is
no great urgency in settling the fisheries
quest on. TIE fis hing season is over for this
year, and operations Will not be resumed un-
til next year The treaty negotiated last
year is dead. 1t was rejected by the On ted
States Senate, not by the Canadians. or
course, il negotiations were resumed. a new
treaty could be framed on the same terms.
At any rate, all the negotiations W II have to
be CONNIE iced anew, but 1 can't forget that
the Washington treaty OF 1872 was negotiated
Oy Republican President. with Republican
m aiorty in the Senate. Is II not therefore,
reasonable TO suppose.that the Republicans VII
manifest in 1899 the same.spirlt which actuated
them in 1872.
THE FOREIGN PRESS.
LONDON, Nov. 9-The Globe says: "Presi
dent Cleveland has not gained any thing by
fussng with the fisheries question or by his
burlesque, rude treatment Of Lord Sackvl lie /
II IS satisfactor~ TO find that even III Amer ca /
a weathercock policy is not always rofitsble.
Mr.. Blaine VIII probably become Secretary OF /
State. He may not be able 10 revive the re
markahle foreign policy which helped 10 create
distcust and promote his defeat, but h 5 al

may not tend to soften his conduct in inter
natl nal affairs"
The English papers generally look upon the
at empt TO reform the tariff in the United !
States as a hopeless task and consider the
theory OF protection too firmly rooted in the
American mind TO be dislodged during the
progress Of a single campaign
BERLIN. Nov. 9.-The North German Gdzsfts /
says: "Farr.soa's election has surprised the |
world. II has put the question Of the continu- |
Itv Of American internal politics to some |
what severe test"
BEN BUTLER on THE RESULT.
LOWELL. Mass, Nov. 9.-General b. +. But /
Ter, speaking at a Republican jubilation meet |
ing last night. said Mr.. Cleveland would have /
been elected but for his tariff message, which /
was like school boys compost on. The vic 1
tory was a Western one New England /
manufacturing towns gave Cleveland N Iori- |
ties. They ought to have known better. This 4
tariff would be reduced more than either the 1
Nils bin or the Senate bill proposed, but the 4
duties kept would be permanent. The I
General also thought the Republican Congress 1
would curtail Southern representa- on TO cor. I
respond 10 the extent to which the negroes are /
deprived OF the votes under the fourteenth 4
amendment. Mexico would be annexed TO the 1
United States.

AUGUSTA Ga, Nov. 9.-The Ctroai Gle editor
tally says OF the Democratic defeat: The /
brave, caused his d. 'eat We regard the Ge-
feat OF President Cleveland as a National I
calamity. THIS defeat ICES not mean :he dis +
solution OF the Democratic party. -Four years I
from last Tuesday our party will march to 1
victory under the leadership OF David B. Hill 4
or some other Democrat who is the nominee 1
for the Presidency"
