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.

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.
