RESULT OF THE FLECTIONS.

Not a Grain of Comfort for tin: Dciuo--IT.II s. . The results of the elections in the set - eral states which voted more than exct died republican cxpcetrnioiTß. New York stands firm with a more tlitui <0,00(1, and a big republican majority in the legislature. (Jhio eorues ii'. with lot),000 or more, and has a republican legislature to choose a successor to United States Senator Brice, democrat. Massachusetts increases its republican majority. New Jersey elects a republican governor. Maryland goes repU'bticHii for The first time in its history, and with a republican legislature will elect a republican United States senator in place of Hibson, democrat, and present indications are that Kentucky, Hitherto hopelessly democratic, has joined the republican procession. Pennsylvania, lowa and Nebraska climb higher than ever in the republican column. There is nothing in this to bring a grain of comfort to the democratic national administration. It is proof that the people are more than ever convinced of democratic incompetency and untrustworthiness. Tfei accomplishment ot some of the democratic purposes simply has confirmed the popular distrust of democratic policies and practices. The trust Of the people is still in the republican purty. For a time they were led astray by extravagant democratic promises, but they were quick to discover the deception practiced upon them, und at every opportunity are voting to undo the work performed under a misapprehension of the relative virtue of republican and democratic management. There is nothing in the results to give the democrats encouragement for the presidential year. —Troy Times.
