Our EIecttnn Ne,ys service.

Readers of The Times, who also coca
sionaHy see the other newspapers published
in Washington have not failed to notice
the superiority OF our election news ser
wee on Tueaday and Wednesday, as com.
pared with journals belonging to the
Chicago Associated Press. As is wen
known in Washington, The Times does
business with the New York Sun ON sucl.
coca sions, and the efficiency OF its news
service has hGd many SIGNAL Illustrations
during the past few days. Some OF them
were referred TO in the sun yesterday, a.
follows:
The World, the morning after election,
stated that Bushnell had probably car
ried Ohio. The Journal declared unquali-
fiediY that Bushnell had been defeated bY
10000 and that Mark Hmm had also
gone down To defeat. The World gave
Parker, for justice Of The court OF appeals
in this State, 224 ,S64 majority; a ridic-
ulous figure: while notit il and the Journal
had II that the Democrats had been sue
Ccssful in Iowa and that the Republicans
had defeated Bryan in Nebraska. The
Herald Tribune ana Press, which being
members Of the Associated Press receive
the same reports as the World and Journal
We're equally guilty.

the Associated Press papers in New York
equally was true OF the two printed here.

Sad News,

Iuto each life some rain must fall;
worst luck of anything is to have it rain
on the day OF the picnic, or when one
has set out I'm tooth-pick shoes and fine
rainaent to can on ones best girl, or
something like that. JOY was not made
to be damped.
These reflections are induced by the
fact that In the very midst of the re-
5olcings over the little heir Of Prince
ton. comes the blighting news that Queen
Victoria did not congratulate Mr.. Cleve-
land by cable, after all. 1t does seem
as IL this information might have been
held back till Mr.. Cleveland's portly and
heroic figure had had time to fade once
more from the public view. Then the
wet blanket would not have been quite 50
large, or so dripping. But al time when
the Introductory walls OF the little stranger
still nlingle with the cheers of Princeton
and the chuckles OF the happy papa, when
it was supposed that Queen Victorias ap-
probation was warming and lighting the
scene, by telegraph, like Guy Fawkcs
AID Fourth OF July bonfire confined, we
are deprived OF that light and thet
warmth, and left in the cold outer dark
ness without an inkling whether Great
Britain approves OF MI. Cleveland or not.
And what makes 1t all the more dis
heartening, and more melancholy, and
more utterly hope less and jaundiced sit
uatto1 than would otherwise be the case,
Is the fact that this is Mr.. Cleveland : fare
well appearance in public. II is positively
the last occasion on which a telegram from,
him viii receive big advertising on the
first page OF the paper. Never again viii

svndioates and monopolies. Last year,
when the $4,000 900 Hanna fund was
being distributed where it would DO the

that much journalistic opinion was based
upon some of it.
