NORTH PLATTE, : : NEBRASKA of ioreign born republicans in Cincinnati to the democracy because of Foraker's determined stand in tavor of closing the iloona on Sunday is not surprising, per haps, and certainly it is not a matter of reproach to the Ohio leader that he should be sacrificed because he insisted on the enforcement of the laws of the state. A hale old man, Mr. Jas . Wilson of Allen Springs, HI., who is over sixty years of age, says : "I have in my time tried a great many medicines, some of excellent quality ; but never before did I find any that would so completely do all that is claimed for it as Chamberlain's.

In one precinct it took five hours for a colored man to eet in his vote after he arrived at the polls. The election machinerf was wholly in the hands of the democrats and they simply allowed the republican voters to be shoved and shouldered about until thev were wearv and went home without getting in their votes. It is worse tor Virginia than it is for the peo ple of the United States, aud if they can stand it we can. Time finally avenges outrages upon the liberty of the ballot box, and Virginia will have to pay eventually us dearly as bankrupted Louisiana is now paying for the frauds of the past. A man who will deliberately cheat the people out of their franchise will steal the money of the tax-payers, as nas oeen proven atter many a disgraceful election, north as well as south. Journal !

Tuesday election was, generally' speak ing, a Waterloo for ttie'Hepublican party in Iowa, New York Yirgiuia and Ohio. Speaking of these states the Journal says: Neiy York has. quitOjCertiinly flopped, but that state hih. not failed for the 'last eight or ten years to giv?a democratic majority of twenty to thirty thousand except iii presidential years. The lazy republican voters aboimdl'iu e,very school district of that unfortunate state, ami the riiT.-rait of New York city liolds the power in all state elections. In Virginia the . republicans have ap parently met with a reverse of a paraly. iug character and the bourbous have re newed the'r grip on the fortunes of the Old Dominion. It is probable that the returns from the back distri"ts will diminish by a good many thousands the alleged democratic majority, but it will do, though it be not as wide as a church door or as deep a3 a well. It is bad for Virgiuia but the country at large can stand it for anothr decade probably. The democrats appear to have carried Iowa and Ohio by the skin of their teeth, local complications account for the falling offiu the states. It is not probable that a ny material political change is indicated.
