The result Or the recent Stale Elections
hss been : subject ~ modification TO
slne II our Wing friends. and Of much
rejoicing sad exallaiian among our Loco
Ero contemporaries. Our neighbor Of the
s.aaIarl has even gone 50 far IS 10 pa
rals in lis columns the representation Of
a Coon ihrawn upon lis back. and under
meath i. an epiiaph written under The de-
Iasise idea Tia, The "old Coon. (" which 50
lis4lrbsl HI, dream in 1910, was now
!. numbered with the dad" But IL We
. examine more closely the result Of these
elections, we DO not think ihal there is
any great caase for either dependency
on he one si.lr, or emulation on tie 9th.
or. It's true lhai some Of the state elec-
iioas were important, because Of The elee-
ton u United States senators. which will
be effected ~ HE complexion Of the Lee
gisIalures: but in relation TO the coming
confession President u the United States,
there is much Of encouragement 70 the
Wings. In The first plaee, there Is with
Us perfec, unanimiiy; from one exlremi-
Is Of the Union 10 lie other, in 81 its
lragih and breadth, the name Of HENRY
Clay. The great Awerican statesman, Is
the waicliwold. Aud though beaten in
some Of the states where we had hoped
10 triumph. we have the satisfaction %
know thai the defea, has not beon occa-
stoned by an increase in tie numbers Of
our opponents, but BY apathy in our own
ranks, precisely similar 70 that which pre-
celed the great victory Of 1910. This
apathy is certainly to be lamented; il de-
priyes us Of advantages which more ac-
tive energy would have given rs; i dis
courages some Of our friends. and ami
mates the hopes Of our enemies. But il
will also have another effect; il viii show
the necessity Of 0ciion a. vel as union;
and when the Great National Questions
again come up in 1874. the whole Wing
party eill be out in its lGli force, and thus
insure victory full and complete as that
which brought the lamen,ed HARRlsoN
inio tie chair Of state. And may we not
hope hat a prupiiious Providence will
give stability 10 lie victory. and BY pre-
serving The life or The illustrious individu
al whom The Wings shall select 10 carry
on, their measures, restore prosperity and
happiness 10 the people Of the Union.
But We said, that a more close exami-
nation Of the results Of the late elections
would show no great cause either for de.
spondeney on our side, or exnlia:;on on
that Of our opponents. This will be seen
In lie following brief statement.
In Pennsylvania the l.ncos claim "a
glorious victory" Yet last year they
had majority in the Legislature Of 20
on joint ballot, this year not half that
number; and il is said further, that If
Daaphin, Chester, Allegheny, Mercer.
Adams, Butler, Union. aud other Wing
counties, had done their duty, the mJori-
ty would have been on the other side.
sohio, the I.ocos say. I" has gone with
rush for the Democracy" They have
elected the Governor, and majority in
both houses Of the Legislature. This was
done, however, moi by an increase Of The
strength Of the I.ocos, but by the action
Of The Abolitionists. Mr.. King, Wing
"lhird party" candidate for Governor,
drew of some 1000 votes; and the Abo-
lilionists caused the loss Of one senator
and one representative in the counties OF
l.orain and Madina; one senator and four
representatives in Clermoni, Brown and
Clinton; one representative in Harrison
ons in Belmont. and one in Guernsey
in all two senators aud eight representa-
lives, which. being placed on the other
side, would have given The Wings ma
jority on joint ballot. And still! strong
er point is mentioned. Three l.ocoloco
counties in Ohio, having 1851 voters,
elect seven representatives, or one for
every 1000 voters; while four Wing
counties, having 2l,053 voters. elect but
four members, or less than one for each
