 Victories.

 1dential Nominations.
tFrom our regular correspondent.

| WAsHINGToN, Nov. 8, 1895.
 That the country is impatient for tn
 return to power ot the republican part,
 was shown ss plainly by this week.
 elsctions'as by the congressional cleo
 tica; st last November, although thiI
 years elections were only in few of th,
 states. It is not surprising that prom
 inent democrats should privately admit
 their belief that the election of repub-
 licsn president next year is a foregone
 conclusion. For them to do other wise
 would be to indicate their lack of nsc-
 essry ability to read the political siens
 of the times, which are SO plainly put
 forth by tte intelligent voters of the
 country, wlo have rallied from the hoo doc under which they elected Mir. Cleve. land president and gave the democrats a maIorltyln both branches of congress. The rep blican party has won many
 greater victories than that of the pres
 ent week, but few of more significance
 than this, too, in an of year, when 1t IS
 more or less difficult to arouse the in
 terest of votrs. It would have been s
 satisfactory victory to have piled up the
 great msjorfies the psrty received ID such states & New York, Pennsylvania. Ohio and bws, but when to those are
 added the outright capture of three sucb democratic itrongholds as Maryland.
 Kentucky and New Jersey it became a great triumph, worthy of the jubilatiop the republicans are expressing over if
 It IS BOW absolutely certain that the republicans will, after March 4. 1897. have a majority in the senate which with the republican president and the repu bliosn house to be elected nert November wiliput the party in control of all branches of the national povern- ment and enabe 1t to undo the mischief done by the democrats, and to start the country upon another era of prosperity.
 Among the Dtable personal changes which will result from this weeks eieo. tons are the Allowing: Ohio will again have two Unit,d States senators ex. Governor Foraler succeeding MT. Brice of New York, who has for six years mis- represented Ono in tbat body: Senator Hlll will be succeeded by a republicen senator from N,w York and will nroba. ply retire permanently from national politics, unless le moves to New York city ana gets Tmmany to elect him to the mousse rom me of the city districts whatever he does he Is not likely to DC sgsin heard d as an aspirant for the emocratic presidential nomination: Maryiand wilI have repu blican senator 10 pisco or Gorman's dummy-Gibson -whcfs only knoxa-os q ssmasberD a | concocer of good terrapin stew. and the | unquesloplpg servant of Arthur P. Cor man, ald Blackburn, of Kentucky. will l be succeeded by republican. The country iooses nothing by these retire mopts, Ehile 1t Is likely to be largely | benefit'd by the republicans who will | succeed them.
 No ofyear elections ip the recollec- tion of the present generation played | sucb hIvoc with the candidates for the | presidHtal nomination of any political | party 6 did the one of which the whole | countr, is now talking. Campbell, of | Ohio, Carlisle, of Kentucky, Hill, of | New York, and German of Maryland, | were ,ll candidates for tine democratic |! nominstion next year, but there will have b be decided changes from exist ing conditions if either of them are mentioned in connection with the nomination, forlorn hope though it | will bG
 No candidate for the republican presi- had his chances in- juSed by the elections, but the respec- tive trends of Governors Morton and McKiiley and Senator Allison declare that the splendid msjorities in New York, Ohio and ::Iowa have added to their dances for obtaining the coveted honor.
 The amusing attempts of some of the small fry democrats to explain their de feat have begun. Prominent demo- crats are not doing any public talking. Lawrence Gardner, secretary of the demociatic National committee, says it was because the people are tired of be- ing dictated to by bosses, and that 1t does not indicate loss of hope by the democfats for "96." He also says pathe- tically that democratic campaign liter ature does not accomplish such results as it once did, which is virtually an acknowledgement that the voters doubt ed the truth of democratic literature.
 A gentleman who isn't 6 democrat, but Wbo is on friendly terms with MT. Cleveland, vsrtured to ask that gentle man if he wasn't glad he issued his Thanksgiving proclamation before elec- tion day. The gentleman says Mr. Cleveland smiled and if he didn't actual. ly wink there was nervous twitching around the corners of his off eye, which indicated that Ee was half inclined to- In fact there are the last of reasons for believing that MT. Cleveland regards the downfall of two such arch enemies as German, of Maryland. and Hill, of Neu York, ss fuli compensation for the fear drubbiog administered to the dsmocra- tic party, and that he is more inclined to be pleased than displessed with tEe result of the elections.
 All attempts to get an expression of opinion on the results of the elections from member of Mir. Clevelsnds csbi- net have SO far failed. Even Secretary Morten who will usually talk about any subject under the sun, provided he knows that he is to be quoted by name m newspaper, is silent. Come to think of it, they are not blamable for re fusinR to talk. There is nothing that any of them could say that could help matters, from demscratio standpoint, any.
