telligent, courageous and fully abie to discharge the duties of the office to which he has been called. He has always been considered a friend of the university, and will no doubt do everything that is reasonable to advance the interests of that institution. Thb election of the Tanimany candidates in New York is one of the most unfortnnate occurrences of the recent election. It was hoped by all that, when people were brought face to face with the issue, they would rally under the banner of good government and elect the fusión candidates by lare majoritiea. But alas! little good can come from Gotham. The defeat of Mr. Jacobs was a great surprise to his many friends in this county.allofwhomconfidentlyexpected his election. The university would have found in him a strong friend at Lansing. We hope that Mr. Gregory will look as carefully after the interests of the university as we know Mr. Jacobs would have done. The latter takes his defeat philosophically and has no complaints to mak e. The republicans in this congressional district have been defeated, mainly by republican votes. This is due to factions which it is high time were reconciled. This district is naturally republican, and if all elementa in the party will unite and be willing to sacrifico personal desires to the best interests of the party there will be no danger as to its being redeemed from the democracy two years henee. It is extremely unfortunate for the University that the hoodlum element among the students (small as it is) will insist on committing offenses against the peace and comfort of the citizens. The jeering in the opera house, rushing in the postoffice, tearing up sidewalks on Hallow'een niglit and other things may be small in themselves, but they give strangers a very unfavorable impression of the University. There are legitímate amusements enough for the Btudents, to enable them to enjoy themselves without resorting to the tricks of hoodlums and "toughs." The election returns show a landslide in the direction of the democracy. Scarcely a single state shows republican gains, and demócrata are jubilant. The next house of representativos will be strongly democratie ; but this cannot effect the McKinley bill which, before another election will have become asettled law and found to be a good thing, and the daager of a change then will cause quite as strong a reaction as there has been now. This will redeem the lower house in congress and at the same time insure the election of the next president on the republican ticket,
