The August Elections.
The results Just transpircd the Elections thu:
month mus. strengthen the confidence and glad
den the heart of every Wing. All the States
which went for Harrison IN 1910 have gone Whie
now, and very decidedly. NORTH CAROLINA
which chose Legislature Loco Foco in both
branches in 1912, and a Loco Foco Delegation
20 Congress last year. is now Wing all over by
1000 majority. This is 600 less tbanit would
have been if Mr.. Graham had been able to cen-
vass the State as thoroughly as his opponent,
though the silly cry of Western Governor has
drawn off some good Wing votes. Hoke is a
capital electioneerer, Of popular manners and has
made ar excellent run, generally ahead Of his
party. He said to friend that he was running
againat dead majority Of 5000, but he would
wake the best Of it-and he has done it. Heha
polled the entire vote of bis party and the waver
ers, and vet is beaten some 1000. Can any man
doubt that Clay will have much more than this
KENTUCKY has surpassed our expectations. We
achieved, and so published in our estimate, that
Owsley would be borne down to 5000 majority
by the great popularity of Col. Butler, but he has
probably received 7 or 5000. Butler, too, has
polled more votes than any man of his party ever
obtained in Kentucky before, including many
Wbip votes. His friends boosted here and every
where that he would be supported by THOUSANDS
of Wings. His gallant bearing in the Last War,
both in Canada and at New-Orleans, and his in
dgnant REPUTATION of the ISLANDERS on his old conn.,
nander Harrison, has endeared him to many of
his fellow soldiers and their kinsmcr. Had not
this been Henry Clay year in Kentucky, he would
inevitably have beaten Owsley but nothing
awaited him now. He is beaten by 6 or 5000;
his Lieutenant probably by 10000 The Wing
majority on the Legislative tickets is hardly less.
All is settled now and Loco Focoism, having ex-
hausted itself in this desperate, frantic effort,
which it hoped to crown with victory, will be
quiet enough in November. Clay's majority then
will answer any expectation short of a million.
But INDIANA fills our cup of JOY to the brim.
North Carolina and Kentucky were well; but we
expected, counted on them-whereas we did not
expect to carry Indiana at this Election. Our
friends there of whom we sought information
all, with one accord, began to make excuse
They said they were not elorganized, could not
draw out their full force for mere Legislative
Election, and thought they must be beaten
They had been beaten in the State Election
each year since 1910; for, though tho Legisla-
ture was tied both in Al and '42 Qill Kelso's
treache.y,) it was done By Wing Senators hold
Ing over, and not by the men newly elected. The
House in al stood Al Wing to So Loco; in '42
it was as Wing to SIS Loco, and the same again
in 49, Now we have not less than SO Wing to
Is Loco, and we may run much higher. We
have done this by strong fight in Counties last
year against US, and we have won the victory
upon vote largely increased In Putnam,
Harrison, Morgan. Montgomery, Union, Floyd,
&c. we have elected Wings in place of Lnco-
Focos, reversing the Legislature. Now we care
little whether such statement as can be made
out will show beyond cavil Wing majority on
the Popular Vote, since many of The Counties
were not contested politically, and others with no
hcpo of success but we may say that The result
of this Election shows that the STATE Is WING,
as former Elections have proved that 1t was then
Loco. A u. S. SENATOR for six years Is one oil
the fruits of this triumph
ALABAMA ia CT course against US; SO We pre-
sumo is ILLINOIS; so is probably MIssauRl,th
NO don't despair of the Legislature, which IS all
the Wings struggled Tor. AL we get IN these
three States is so much clear gain not only over
the intermediate years, but over lS40, AS we then
carried nothing in either. We cannot have done
worse now, and may have done better.
Well done, Wings OF the States voting in Au-
gust. The rest OF US are coming your way!
ny Can The Plebeian inform US of the where
abouts of that enormous quantity OF Indiana
Wings who recently abandoned their party and
came out strong for Polk, with Judge Liileston,
Enoch M'Carty, Dan Mace, and three or
four other late Wing candidates for Congress
a. their head7 AS the Piebeian has filled It's
colunons for weeks with the declarations of these
interesting fugitives Indiana furnishing more OF
them than any other State) i, will naturally feel
come interest in knowing what has become oil
them. What can 1t tell us about them? Can't
Chapman unfold the tale of their woes q
IL Our logical friend Of the Brooklyn Eagle
thinks that Mr. Jefferson could not have meant
in 1916 that Foreign Manufactures should beck
clpded. because MIR. Clay in 1912 said never
WA. in favor of duties being SO high as to amount
N nrobib;tion.' Now that there has been gen.
sral agreement of opinion between MIR. Jefferson
and Ms. Clay is very true, bat we don't consider
It impossible that MIR. Jefferson could mean
something because Mr.. Clay has said something
FINN which the Brooklyn Eagle understands
something else!
mr. Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER left Boston yester-
L.. Car Marsh6eld. He will address the Wing
