The Late Elections.

II is we'll known to our readers that the
LocOs have had things pretty much their
way in many Of the late State elections, and |
they send forth their shouts Of victory until
the very heavens appear to be rent asun-
der by the outpourings of a victorious and
grateful people: and the loco focO journals
are endeavoring to instil in the minds of the
people, the belief that the Wings will be
utterly powerless in the great and glorious
contest Of 1914; that they have been COM
pletely routed and beaten in their strong
holds, and consequently will relinquish all
exertiOns in the next Presidential election.
Instead of this being the case, the recent
defeats will arouse the WHIes to renewed
exertions, and awaken them to a sense OF
their much neglected duty to their country
and themselves; they will rise in their mighty
strength and roll back the dark eaters of loco
foco corruption and treachery which have
been flowing over the country like mighty
food, and raise triumphantly to the Presi-
dental chair the great and patriotic States
man and defender of American Liberty
HENRY CLAY! The wings have no cause
TO be alarmed, but should be encouraged to
redoubled vigor; let them buckle on their
armour and engage notO with their enemy
and the victory of IA will be more glorious
than that achieved in 1910.
But, let US see what ground the locos have
for shouting "victory." They tell us they
have carried Maine, New Hampshire, and
Pennsylvania. Can these be called victories
when those States are only sustaining the
position they have occupied for years! Ger
tainly they cannot.
They have carried Maryland; but it was
owing to local questions and want of exer-
ton on the part of the wings.
They have also carried Ohio; but from the
official returns it will be seen that Shannon
is elected governor BY plurality vote. and
IS members Of the Legislature have been
elected in the same way.
They have also carried Georgia; but the
wings have gained upwards of two thousand
votes or her strength Of last year.
Now, we would ask, have the wings any
cause for dependency from the result of .ht
above named elections! We answer, MOI
Let them arouse from the supineness, ant
rally around the standard of their gallan
and noble leader HENRY CLAY, and swear tt
rest not until their country isreclaimed fron
loco foco thraIdom, and the traitor banishet
to oblivion, and the FARMER OF ASH
LAND triumphantly crowned with the high
est honors of the Nation.
