TIRE ELECTION,

The election is over, and settled b,
such overwhelming majorities that n
Quibbles can arise. There has not beel
such sweep since Grants first elcc,
ion. The returns are not complete an,
exact majorities can not be given, bu
Cleveland will have 500 electoral vote
without doubt Illinois, Wisconsin
Ohio, Indiana, and California, hav,
been taken from the republican col
umn, while Connecticut and New
Jersey, stand firm in the democati,
fulu. Words are faint TO describe th,
situation; but 1.-The deluge without al
ark, might answer as well as any,
thing else. The states carried fol-
Cleveland, and their electoral votes are

The cause of this, the greatest of politi-
cal land-slides, we believe Secretary of
State Foster, gives the correct answer
lie says: The party challenged the
Judgment of the country on the Nc
kinney bill, and the verdict must be
accepted as the will of the people that
different policy shall be adopted. 9th
er questions entered somewhat into the
contest, but not to such an extent as to
materially affect the result. Nor would
1t have been different if other candi-
dates had been selected, or other lead
ems managed the campaign. No adj
ministration ever went before the
country with clearer record. 1t is
the policy, not the personnel, of the ad-
huf
ed"
Our northern neighbor, Washington,
has gone republican both on nations
and state ticket. In this state the retu I
Us are yet incomplete, but it is probable
al four republican electors, are elected.
Pierce is. far. ahead of his ticket and
there is bare possibility Of his election.
Tie tidal wave also struck the territor-
les. Utah and New Mexico going
democratic and Oklahoma electing
demoratic legislature. Russell tdem-
Ocrat) has been reelected governor of
by a handsome major
lty. The democratic majority in Miss
Ouri, which has been claimed in this
'lection as doubtful state, will reach
f5,OOO, and the majority in Texas l6O,-
UO. The majority in New York will
be $1,000.

'ious indications, but while Nebraska

lie democrats have the legislature in

le latter having majority of 223. 1t he
probable this majority will reach m

1t looks very much to us as though th
athan Pierce was going to crowd gil
me one of the Harrison electors very
osely. 1t depends largely on the -
