Daily Democrat. it" effect. Now that the smoke of battle has passed away, It becomes more easy to measure the extent of the victory of the republicans and the defeat of the democrats in the late political contest,and to determine the effect upon the politics of the immediate future. As to the extent of the victory, it Is due to truth to say that it is far from overwhelm ng. In fact,ln many respects.this victory of the republicans is less weighty than the victory obtained by the democrats In 1S84. The republicans havecarried the following states : California, Colorado, Illinois, In diana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine.Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota. Nebraska, Nevada, New Ilampshire.New York, Ghio.Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island.Vermont and Wisconsin, with an aggregate of 233 elec - toral votes,which Is 14 more than Cleveland received in 1864. But as a material offset to this, republicans, when the final count is made, will find themselves with a less pop ular vote than Mr. Cleveland has, defeated though he is. Of course republicans will use the means at hand to the best possible advantage to perpetuate themselves in pow er, and to this end they will admit three or four new 6tates, certainly republican, so as to increase their power In the electoral college preparatory to winning the next presidency. There is no disguising the fact that this will give them a great advan tage so far as that phase of the matter is concerned. Hut that party has a drawback that overbalances all this seeming advan tage. We refer to the distribution of the offices. This has become a burden.a curse to the party In power. A hungrier set of office seekers, (and their name is Legion,) never approached the gates of the Capitol at Washington than that which will set out on its pilgrimage after the fourth at March. Harrison will be utterly powerless to satiate the voracious appetite of this greedy horde. His party will soon be full of kickers and recalcitrants. An imprrious demand will go up from this army of office hunters to the president asking that every democratic official in the land be removed from office to make place . for these "workers" in the president's party. These are the men, and these only, who made it possible to elect Harrison. They are practical fellows, and work only for pay. They have no concep tion of the idea of laboring in politics to subserve the public weal, hence they will feel that all their labor has been in vain If they do not get the offices. Here the trou bles which will ultimately swamp the president will begin. Should the presiden t refuse to accede to this demand for the of fices, but decide to follow the precedent set by President Cleveland of allowing faithful officials to serve out their appointed terms notwithstanding their politics, he will soon find his party filled with howling kickers. This will create a party weakness that will lead to defeat in the next presidential con test Should Harrison accede to the loud demands of this army of place-hunters he will stir up and cherish Into active hostili ty to his administration a larger army of mugwumps than have ever waged political warfare in the history of the country. This, too, would threaten his perpetuation of power. There are many matters of legis lation and diplomacy the settlement of which will prove stumbling blocks and pit falls to Harrison and his party. The tariff and surplus question will, like Banquo's ghost, down at no par'y's bidding. It is be lieyed the two political parties in the Senate will be equally balanced which willof court e necessitate a material change in the Senate tariff bill to secure its passage. Then there wilt be the fisheries question which will be troublesome, But the greatest danger will evidently grow out of the rivalry and bit ter feelings existing between Blaine and Quay over the distribution of the spoils. There Is fun ahead, but we hope the occa sion will not unearth another Gulteau. A dispatch from Montreal the next day after our election says: "The Canadians are exhibiting the most unprecedented Interest In the Presidential contest, Tremendlous excitement prevails and the streets of this city are thronged with men and boys cheering for Harrison and groaning for Cleveland. Reported gains for the Republican ticket in the several States when bulletined are follow, ed by repeated outbursts of cheers." That was because "it was English, you know." The republicans after the 4th of March will be compelled to meet the tariff ques tion in a candid way and settle it, To pass the bill now before the senate would make tariff revision and redudtion a more vital question two years hence than it is now To pass a fair, non-partison, non-Sectional bill would be a trump card.

Power An army surgeon was one night annoyed by the coughing of the sentry outside his tent. Unable to sleep,he decided that some thing must be done for the man, and so compounded hi in a strong and verydisa- greeabledose of medicine. Then.going out, he ordered the man to take It The sentry refused at first politely, and afterward an grily and emphatically. But the surgeon sternly insisted on his rights, and the man was finally Induced to swallow the com pound. The result was evidently satisfac tory. The sound of coughing ceased in the camp, and the sourgeon went to sleep with the consciousness of having done a good deed. Next morning he was summoned by the officer In command, who said to him "How is this, sir? I hear serious complaint' about you in relation to the sentries. One of them has reported that in the middle of the night you came out of your tent and abused him in the most dreadful manner. He said you made him swallow a drink which must have been poison." The guard had been relieved while the surgeon was compounding his mixture.and he had cured the wrong man. Preparing.
