turn the House majority either way.
THE "sUN's" ESTIMATE.
The Evening Sun says: The latest dis
patches indicate further Republican gains
in close Congressional districts in differ
ent parts of the country. The Democrats
elect but one Congressman in Iowa. An
other Republican is gained in North Car
DINA. The next House of Represents
tives will be in all probability Republican
by majority Of from five to ten.
FOREIGN COMMENT.
CleveIand's Retirement.
LONDON, November 8.-The Post says
President Cleveland term of Office has
not justified the fair hopes with which
Englishmen regarded his election. His
attitude toward England has been, and
doubtless would again be, friendly, but
for election purposes he proved himself
equally ready with his most violent OPP
ponents to flout England. 1t is impos-
sible for Englishmen not to feel a small
qualification at the complete failure of
those unworthy tactics for revenge, and
they may regard the change with indif-
terence. It would be unfair to lay
much stress on Blaine's reckless express
sions against England. The two coun-
tries have lived in harmony under pre-
vious Republican Governments and can
again.
BALM TO THE WOUNDS OF BLAINE.
The Globe says: President Cleveland
has not gained anything by fussing with
the Fisheries question, or by his brus que,
rude treatment of Lord Sackville. 1t is
satisfactory to find that even in
America weathercock policy is
no always profitable. Their defeat
is heavy blow to the Democrats it
may help to compensate Mr.. Blaine for
his previous failure. as he will probably
become Secretary Of State. Mr.. Blaine
may not be able to revive the remarkable
foreign policy which helped to create
distrust and promote his defeat, but his
alliance or understanding with the Irish
element may not tend to soften his con-
duct in international affairs.
THE MUGwUMPs DID IT.
The Neps says: What has happened
in America is parallel to what is hap.
pening in England. The section of in
huential Republicans who revolted four
years ago, after much talk of forming a
National party, have mainly returned to
their old allegiance. Though President
Cleveland will depart from the White
House with all honors of a digniied and
successful administration, it can scarcely
be said that he opened up the new era
in American politics that was proclaimed
for him. His defeat is sore disappoint-
ment to the tariff reformers.
'ALF AND 'ALF.
The Daily Telegraph says: 1t would
fiatter both ourselves, and possibly our
American kinsmen, if we said there was
any keen interest here in the election, or
any emotion at Harrison's success.
As far as they felt any interest, the Eng
fish wished we'll to the Democrats, but
recent events tended to show that they
were "six Of one and half a dozen oil
another"
BLAINE's PUPPET.
The Daily Chronicle attributes the re-
suit in no small measures to the Blaine's
prudence, and says: It is pretty well
understood that Harrison is q marionette
and that Blaine pulls the string. The
Republicans accession stiles any hopes
that the labors Of the Fisheries Commits
sion be ratified.
HARRISON INDEBTED TO sACKvILLE.
DUBLIN, November s. United Irelond
expresses Indifference at the result of the
Presidential election in the United States,
as it says it has friends in both camps.
Harrison, the paper thinks, owes his
election to the Sackville affair, as the
Irish voters suspected Cleveland of being
friendly with Salisbury. While it is
fattering to the irish to be able to turn

grettable as it is also menacing to
America. The Irish vote exists as a
separate and menacing factor in Ameri
land is without home rule rankles as a
spear head in the relations between the
English speaking race. It would be
cheap for America to establish home rule
in Ireland, even at the cost of war with
Great Britain: 1t adds: 1--WE need not
comment on the valve to England of a
settlement OF the Irish question"
CANADIAN VIEW OF IT.
OTTAWA, November THE Evening
Journal (Indiana), says: 1t may be that
Republican victory saves Canada some
immediate trouble. The Democrats we're
so committed to the retaliation principle,
to say nothing of the embodiment of the
Democratic Executive with Great Britain
by the Sackville business that very lit
tie friction might have necessitated
Cleveland's enforcement of the retalia-
ton. We don't think the Republicans
are any more friendly than the
Democrats, or even as much so,
but they at least can enter into fresh
negotiations with Great Britain or Can.
ada without going back on any official
record. After all, the so.called "Irish
vote' has not appeared to have had any
effect on the election. The election was
decided by New York State, and New
York State was decided by an increased
Republican vote in the country districts
that is among the farmers and villages
where the Irish vote is not decisive.
