Earty of Uje'AdministratiDn; Hundreds of
lepublicans, men who have acted with the
Republican parfy from the iiUrt, voted on

"We d not claim this sweepintt ind alto
gether unparalleled result in Connecticut as
a mere Democratic triumph. It is indeed
belongs to anyeftral and deeply earnest
movement of a great people, who after, long
endurance arise; at last in their, might, and
willingly sacrifice all minor considerations,
of party, in thejone strong purpose of .res
cuing their country from shame, and re
storing the Government to honest hands.
This extraordinary and overwhelming re
sult in Connecticut expresses just that feel
ing; and it could never have been brought
about by aay, one party alone. -i ' ' f i ;
TIIK GBBREAN VOTE LOST TO THE
BEPtTBLICAIf PARTY.
For two y eirs , tho MeaVen : of dis
content has beri.wdrking among- the
Republican " Germans in the West.
The ascendancy of the . Republican
party has been maintained chiefly by
the German jvote in the States of
Ohio, plinois, jW.iscousin, , Michigan,
Iowa and Minnesota. , The elections
in these States last year were all ad
verse to the Ilepablicans. The muni
cipal elections in Ohio last week de-
mopstrated the .utter weakness in the
-KT . . ' c-o -x a i
Northwest otjthe party of Butler and
Sanborn. Bdta few years ago all the
. cities and large towns j in that great
State were controlled by Republican
officials. ' To-day the Liberal Democ
' racy and Reformers have control of
every city in ihecommon wealth.

ceived the card in'd'ae time, but had 4
to pay C cents extra postage, -aiwll so f
notified MK J ohnson. As tbc latter
had been in the habit of posting these
labels for some time and had never
before been : called upon for extra
postage, he consutted.the Postmaster
of St. Joseph, MK 'Arnholt, about
it. The latter, authority;, informed
mm mat, ne naa a ngnt 10 lauei ine
cards and could continue to do so with
safely, unless the cards were agoing to
Chicago, whose Postmaster didn't un
derstand the law. Thereupon, in a
happy' frame of mind, Mr. Johnson
addressed a card to the Chicago house
in his best handwriting, and with a
I feeling : of exultation i trinmphanlly
and m a bold hand wrote tnese, words:
"Our Postmaster says your Postmas
ter is an ass." The Chicago Postmaa
ter forwarded the obnoxious postal-
card to Washington. ; Mr. Creswell
put on his spectacles and read the St.
Joseph Postmaster's pithy opinion of
the Chicago Postmaster. The result
of the reading was a postal-card from
Mr. Creswell to the bt. JosephPost-
master,which nearly lifted the latter
functionary out of bis boots, and made
him realize, as he had never ? done be-
xore bow irau uie ienuroi a posiomce
may be. Thereupon the Postmaster
called upon Johnson, and informed
him that he had never said the Post
master of Chicago was an, ass. . Mr.
Johnson brushed up bis memory, and,
after a while, concluded that he was
mistaken in the language used, and
gave his Postmaster a statement to
that effect. This relieved the Post
master. He- forwarded ' the. state
ment to Mr. Creswell. and once
more felt secure in his office. But it
did not end here, for on Thursday
an-oraer came ior tne arrest ot
jur. oonnsou ior using scurrilous
ianguage on a postal-card, andlthat
nisht he was arrested. Thus, f or the
sake of a little business label abojit
the size of a postage-stamp, the" St.
Joseph merchant got into a difficulty
with the bt. J oseph Postmaster and
the Chicago Postmaster got the bt.
Joseph;Postmaster into trouble-with
nits uuvciuiueui. auu lias gut uim-
self into a tight place, , in which he
mav have to pay from $100 to
L,000, or go to jail and stay from
one year to ten years, before he can
extricate himself. He has written a
card to the St. Joseph Gazette, in
which he savs:
When Shakspeare made the illus
trious Dogberry say, "Write me
down an ass," he was in blissful ig
norance that such language was ." ob
scene and scurrilous? That discovery.
was reserved tor the genius who pre
sides over the I ost-Ofhce at Chica20.
Webster defines the term ass, "a dull,
j heavy, stupid fellow; a dolt."e Wor
cester and other lexicographers give
almost identically the same definition.
In uch a sense it is used by the best

In what sense, Webstenan, Wor-
cesterian, Dogberryan, or.; Johnston-
iarx,-the mr J oslrmerctiatir'taTred
the Vhicago rostnjaster an ass, it now
behooves him to "show or pay the

plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far
greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such im

ed by longer experience and enlarged knowledge
The illustrations which are introduced for the first
tune in the present edition have been added not for
the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucid

though Intended for instruction rather than embel
