It might bo tn part owing to the fact that it was an off yearin politics, and in part to the split occasioned by the Workingmen's ticket. It might be, also, that tho déteat was a rebuko by the Republicau party of the Prest- dent, but Lie hoped not. Coning downto home affulrs, he truited no suth defeat, no such re- bukoe, would follow the _clection in Cook Coun- ty.
