AFTER THE BATTLE,


Throughout the day, whenever the rain
ceased falling, the distant boom of the can
non echoed the enthusiasm of the 10000
celebrating Republicans, and the streets were
thousands marching back and forth utterly
regardless of the mud and water.
THE EFFECT IN WASHINGTON.
Gen. Harrisons election having been con-
ceded by Chairrp an Brice Washington people
breathe freer and will probably dare now to
send few kilograms of congratulations to
the president elect. There are a few confident
citizens however, who have believed for as
much as twenty-four hours that the Repub-
Leans had been elected and these persons
have already begun the process of cabinet
making Rumor which frequently during
the campaign charged Mr.. Blaine with an
ambition to assume Mr.. Bayard's place, and
become premier OF the new administration,
has suddenly changed it's tone and asserts
that Mr.. Blaine does not want the place, but
if he aspires to any place, would go as minister
TO England. Rumcr places Mr.. Sherman as
a possible candidate for the position of secre-
tary of state, his experience as chairman of
the senate foreign relations committee hav-
ing given him special fitness for the place. 1t
seems to be assured that ex-Gov. Russell A.
Alger OF Michigan will be made secretary of
war: Rumor also makes John c. New secre-
tary of the treasury, and Wanamaker of
Philadelphia is talked of for postmaster gen.
eral. Warner Miller, Gof of Virginia and
Phelps of New Jersey are all talked of for
cabinet positions.
cHEERFULNEss OF THE OLD ROMAN.
Judge Thurman on Wednesday was found
him in one of his happiest moods.
81 am the most cheerful defeated candidate
that ever ran for an Office, and personally do
not care a straw / regret the defeat of my
party, however, as believed that it's success
would be beneficial to the country"
You then concede the election of Harrison
and Morton?"
Certainly, they are elected, if there is any
dependence to be placed upon the returns. l
have heard no information beyond that
which has been published, and of course can
give no news"
you are undoubtedly surprised at the re-
suit in New York?''
Yes; do not disguise the fact thatI am.
believed that Mr.. Cleveland would carry
the state. The manufactures who did not
want to be touched, however, made q su-
preme effort, and, together with other
things connected with the campaign, worked
against Mr. Cleveland. The fight for Mayor
undoubtedly damaged Mr.. Cleveland, and he
was probably traded off to considerable
extent, yet how much am unable to say
Allen W. Thurman, the son, expressed the
opinion that the principal cause of the defeat
of the president was the opposition brought
to bear by the Grand Army of the Republic.
SCATTERING NOTES.
The Michigan congressional delegation will
stand Republican and democrats, q Re
publican gain of three.
Iowa will give Harrison plurality of nearly
10000.
Hon. S. S. Cox of New York despondingly
said: l think the house is against US, not
withstanding our gains in Virginia and other
states. The Northwest and West, including
Minnesota. Michigan and Wisconsin, have
failed to respond for US.
The Democrats have carried Arkansas safe
", but there is likely to be contest in the
First and Second congressional districts.
The latest returns from New Jersey indicate
that the Democrats will have a majority of
five on the joint ballot in the next legisla-
ture.
Florida has gone Democratic by over 13.-
900 majority, and elects both Democratic
congressman.
A private dispatch from A. R. s. Richard.
son of San Francisco, received in Washington,
says that Harrison will have plurality in
California of about 5000. The dispatch
also states that the Republicans have ap-
parently carried the Third, Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth congressional districts.
The Republican state central committee
estimate Harrison's plurality in Illinois at
$4,000 The Democratic committee rooms
were closed, and no figures from that source
could be obtained. Except in the Baker
nois, there is no doubt, will be as first re-
ported The Republican central committee
reports that complete returns from ninety
counties in Illinois and careful estimates on
the remaining twelve gives Fifer for governor,
13,O07 plurality.
A story is in circulation in Covington, KY,
that speaker Carlisle is to be deprived of his
certificate of election on the ground of al
legged illegality of ballots cast for him in
Campbell and Kenyon counties. 1t is assum-
ed that if these are thrown out his majority
in the district will be overcome. The Ken
tucky law, it is said, requires that the ballot
shall be on plain white paper with no distin-
gushing feature, but the Caralisle ballots
were printed on large sheets of perforated
paper, SO that when the ticket were torn
apart perfOrations appeared on the edges
and made them easily distinguishable from
other tickers. Color is given to the story
by the fact that the canvassing board in
Campbell county is Republican.
Dispatches just received from the capital of
West Virginia announce that the Democratic
state treasurer, Thompson, comedies the
state to the republicans by from four to
seven hundred majority. This is simply
confirmation of steady Republican gains that
have been coming in. The Republican state
committee here claim the state by much
three, and probably a solid delegation of
four congressman. They claim majorities for
the ELECTORAL ticket, and majority in the
legislature. The scene of Republican en-
thusiasm in Wheeling was unprecedented.
Thousands of people have crowded
the streets.
Secretary Bayard's humiliation is rend-
cred complete by the action of the people in
Kent and Sussex counties in Delaware They
have elected a Republican legislature and the
infamous tax collection will now be repealed.
and Republican United States senator will
be chosen to succeed Salisbury (Dem.).
Wisconsin gives Harrison over twenty
thousand majority.
Dakota continues to poll up Republican
majority.
Ignatius Donnelly is defeated for the legis.
lature in Minnesota.
Merriam's majority in Minnesota is count
ing up towards $4,000,
The Republicans in Minnesota returned to
their first love and carried everything before
them including majority of ninety in the
legislature.
There seems to be no doubt that the Re-
publicans have carried the lower house of
congress.

One of the elders, a son of the late Prophet
Smith, says the work of proselyting viii be

Asked if they proposed to practice polygamy,
they replied evasivey to the effect that they
would not break the laws of the country.
1t is difficult to say what action the govern
ment will pursue with regard to the Nor
mons, now that they have obtained q foot
hold on British soil. 1t is feared here that
emigration of Mormons from Utah to the
Canadian Northwest will soon assume vast
proportions.
