THE ELECTIONS.

ne Loco FocO5 are playing sheer
game OF brag in regard TO good many OF
the elections, and the Wings, in some
places the real ylctors, are given up as
beaten, without the shadow of reason.
VERMONT.
In Vermont the Wings last year were
defeated by the people, and this year
they were successful in every branch OF
the public service. The people there have
now given them triumphant majority
and secured the election Of Senator in
Congress.
NEW JERSEY.
In New Jersey in like manner We have
Governor, Legislature, clean sweep Of
State officers, and secured another Sen.
ator in Congress.
MARYLAND.
In Maryland, we confess defeat, but
it is defeat Of Wings by Wings, and the
/ result of the election there shows that
whenever the Wings are united they will
be successful. II should be remembered,
too, that in Maryland, we lose nothing IN
fact, for there is Loco Foco Governor IN
DHlce tUcFes u we nave bot eii"H PiSN
there we have lost nothing there.
GEORGIA.
| We come now to Georgia, and here the
Locofocos are Growing 10 the tops Of their
vnces and shouting victory, victory as
| If they had actually defeated the Wings.
Now the result Of the recent elections
there shows that they have actually done
no such thing. Take the Legislature in
So counties, all Of those in the State but
five, and the following is the result, as we
have them from the MlIledgevile Journal
ofihe 18th ut., which gives them official
" from the Executive books. Upon a
reference TO the Cougrsssiona! ticket, it
WILL be seen that Cooper, the highest up.
Oh the Van Buren, ticket, has majority
over Hqbershani, the highest upon the
Wing ticket, of l,705 votes; and that
Millen, the lowest on the Van Buren, tick
ct, has majority Of ,264 votes only over
tlabersham, this Shows gain Of | 906
cotes for the Wigs, Uhsn compared wih
the rote Of Mr.. Cooper and that receired
| By Gov. Mcdonald last gear, and gam
Of 1906 totes sehen compared Nth Mil-
lens uote and the Governors.
+. The average gain by the Wing Ticket
is ,!3! votes when compared with the
last years election.
There remains now to be heard from
only five counties, viz: Appling, Irwin,
PauIdog. Ta,tnaIl, and Ware. These
gave Mcdonald last year majority OF
506 votes. Should they return The same
majority this year for the Van Buren, tick
1t, 1t will succeed by about 1900 votes.
To the State Rights and Wing party
throughout our State, says the Journal,
we con in truth say, this is doing much
better than we expected. Every thing
has operated TO prevent that active exer-
iioE on their part, which was necessary TO
success. Our opponents will have to be
wide awake fur the future.
The Legislature is "Loco" by about 40
votes, and even here the Loco locos have
| lost.
They elect in 81 countes-all that are
heard from--l3l members, and gain titir-
ry-fow. The Loco Focos have elected
i49 members and gained but twenty five.
The Georgia election then is anything but
triumph for the Loco iocos.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Pennsylvania comes next, and here too
the Loco lucos are making terrible hui
iabaiOo, and for what reason
Legislature has been chosen, aud the
Loco iocos alter stralng every nerve,
have majority, as II turns out, not Isl
or %, or 81, upon joint ballot, bat Of %
| votes.
According to the Harrisburg ln,eiiigen'
Ger, the results OF the election in this State
are as follows:
"In the Senate, 10 Loco Focos, Il
Wings. In the House go Loco iocos and
40 Wings.
Last wear the Senate stood IL Wings,
Is Locos. la the House 80 Wings, %
Locos. We have therefore lost 3 mem
bers in the Senate, and galued . in the
| House.
