Senator Sherman has returned from
Ohio in the best of humors. He finds
it impossible to hide his elatiOn over

defeated as everybody knows, but the
Republican party has been defeated in
Ohio before with the result of doing it

against Reed, but they all decline
Things may grow more exciting q.
the number of members in town in
creases, but unless the opposition
shall make great deal more show

One of Washington's most promi
nent printers has been discharged
from the Government Printing Office
because while on the street on the
night of the recent elections, he gave
a cheer over the bulletined announce
