The Elections

Our rooster did his crowing ra October and consequently is not needed now. Whcn Indiana and Ohio were earried by the republicans, we considered the battle as practically won, and theelection of "5r. field and Arthur a foregone conclusión. Last Tuesday everything passed off very quietly for a national election, but the result shows that the people were terribly in earnest. From Maioe to California, from Micliigan to Mason & Dixon's line there has been but one expression, and that has been in a manner unmistakable. Southern Bolidity and the "cause for which Lee and Jackson fought," have been terribly rebuked, the nlthy mud throwers, who attempted to bring dishonor andreproach upon the name of an honest and honorable man, siinply because he was a candidato in oppo8ition to their party, have been rebuked ; the forging of letters for poiitical effect, has been rebuked ; the daubing of people's doors and fences with " 329," has been rebuked ; and the policy of making an aliance with any clan or ism regardless of principies, to attain power, has been rebuked. The people have said to the world that they still further trust the party which has piloted the nation safely through so many crises. The latest returns indícate a fine working republican majority in the next House of Representatives, a majority of one in the Senate. For the next four years at least, the entire control of the government will be in the hands of the republican party, and we have full faith to believe that tbc administration of James A. Garüeld will be as pure and patriotio as has been that of the present incumbent, Rutherford B. Ilaycs.
