The Election.

After the quietest campaign ever
known it will be no surprise that the
heavy Republican majority Of two
years ago has been cut down to about
the average Of off years. At the
present writing the indications that
Smiths plurality will be about 24,-
900. Both Republican Congressman
are elected with about the average
majority. The Republicans elect
every state Senator but in the lower
bran ch the Democrats will have treb-
BILE their usual number. This is
largely due to the license question
that is coming to the front and will
have to be squarely met within few
years.
