My Dear Mr. Fisher. My regards to Mrs. Fisher. And tell her I am beaten. No more letters for Mulligan “Burn this letter.” At Austin, Texas, the negroes s«>’t out their old masters for information as to the meaning of the Democratio triumph, and were speedily relieved of any fears Hoover must be a popular nameflon. Fred, carried a Republican District for the State Senaie. and Wm. M, Hoover is successful for County Treasurer in a Republican county. The New York Times says: “The list es the casualties of the recent conflict is unusually satisfactory. It includes among the dead, besides Blaine, John Kelly and William Ma hore; badly wounded, Jay ~»ould, Cyrns W. Field, and Russell Sage; missing, B, F. Butler ”

The Chicago Times: “If Mr.Blaiue would quietly acquiesce in what has undoubtedly been the verdict in New York state he would make msuy friends, His present course is a col* robor ition of what has been said about him, and thousands of reDub* licans who voted for him are rejolo ing in his defeat.” E. B. Sellers. Esq, of Montioello was elected Senator by the Democrats of hia Senatorial distriot; and John O. Timmons, of Idavllle was elected Democratic Representative’ for the counties of Benton and White. These gt-ntlem**n are well qualified or the positions to which they have been elected, and w« rejoice in their triumph. Mrs. C. U. Pbice sends us the follcwing from her far-off Dakota borne: The Plum«d Knight, His hook can write. But he’ll never rule at the White Hons-, wo! Wot the uolid South With the Northern De'^s, Have covered him over with snow. Three oheers for 0 oveland, Hendricks and Reform! Mrs, C. H. Pbice. Highmore, Dak.. Nov. 11 ‘B4.

The Chicago Times says: “The frsntio conduct of the defeated man lit Maine is fast arousing the disgust the sensible msn who have sup* ported him. These men do not aptpro ve his mad efforts to subvert the Will of ihe people, nor sympathize With the political whom disappointment and; rage have prompted to overcome the result by whatever means and at whatever cost: Tho’ defeated, they are willing to submit quietly, and not a few of them have been convinoed by his absurd antics tha*. the defeat of their candidate was by no means a bad thing (or the country.” Even after the Blaine Managers in New York, with everything before them, had yielded to the inevitable and conceded his defeat, after Jay Gould and Vanderbilt sent their forced congratulations to Cleveland— Blaise telegraphed to New York “I am advised there have been frauds in New York State, I believe that the honest vote of the State gives a republicanjplurality,” etc. No one sup poses that Mr. Blaine had better sources of information than his friends on the ground, nud et he fulminated the quoted pronuncismenio. It. is good for the nation that he is bea'eo. The climate of Mexico is better suited to bis coi rnnt ambition.
