Elections.

their cue from the Louisville Journal attempting
to raise shout over the result of the election in
New York. Facts will show how little reason
they have for Growing. In the city, for instance, the
wing majority is 1888; but the aggregate vote.
compared with that of 1876, shows falling off in the
wing vote of 1910, and in tie democratic vote of
l0,9l3-nearly eleren thousand. In the of the
State the result is nearly the same,-he refusal of
the democrats to vote, giving the wings from 10000
to 40, 900 majority. OF the 80 Senators, all of whom
serve two years. and will have vote in lS4S, upon
a United States Senator to succeed Mr.. Dix the
wings have certainly elected %. The democrats
will not prabably have one tenth of the members
| of the House.
As to the immediate causes which produced such
result result which excites not the slightest sur
prise in our minds,-we give the remarks of two of
the leading wing papers in the city
The Courier and Enquirer" says:
at were folly to pretend that the wings alone have
achieved this victory, deny that they have been
very essentially aided by the split in the ranks of
| their opponents.
The divisions among the ocofocos have hitherto
had but little influence upon the result of an election
They have generally been simply the outbreaks of
some personal disafection. which have died away
the day of election drew But ii is obvious
that the party Is more seriously divided than it has
ever been before The principal ground of difference
as nearly as 1t can be asceraned relates to the
duct Of the central junto at Albany, by which the
affairs of the party have been controlled long, and
with such nnvarying and unprincpled sefshness
The pitch to which It's dication was carried in the
first place aroused the resentment of few individu-
ais, who were the immediate sufferers, and through
| their exerons the feeling communicated to a
very large portion OF the party throughout the Stnte
An effort to give this disafected section the power
| and weight OF separate party, created nu;leuS,
| around which clustered all who for any cause. on
personal, local, national grounds had become dis
satisfied with the principles or the policy of the demo-
cratic party This section thus combined the strength
of the abolitionists, the Wilmot Proviso men, the
anti-war-ltes, &c. &C., of the locofoco party, and
became powerful enough to completely overthrow the
regular democracy"
The Tribune rebukes the Express for claiming
the result as wing triumph, and says
"As to the untarnished whig triumph 'pure
whig victory 'whig tornado, only whig,' &c. &C.
IS there any excuse for using language utterly
VIGOROUSLY al variance with the truth Do not all of
know that hundreds of bitter ocofocos voted our
| whole ticket, while tens of thousands more of them
stubborny refused to vote at all Just look at Hun
gerford's vote at that of the Seventeenth Ward,
where the Hunker State ticket has less than trO fhS
of the actual locofoco vote-and the mserably de-
hcient tchig vote throughout the CITY, We have not
polled In all three ffths of the actual wing vote of
this Emporium. We have overwhelming triumph,
| simply because our habitua adversares would not
vote the ticket made up for them by their Convention
-boltng II not because it locofoco but because
II not. What nonsense then, to talk of the re-
| suit 'Whig tornado!'"
| MIcHIGAN-The Cincinnati Enquirer says that the
democratic victory in this Stale is brilliant, the
defeat in New York is saddening. In the language
of the Detroit Free Press, Michigan sends greeting
to her sister States, the election Of democratic
Governor and Lieut.. Governor,-a unanimous demo-
cratic delegation in Congress- unanimous demo-
cratic Senate. and democratic House of Representa-
tives The vacancy in the Congressional delegation
has been filled by a democrat; and the Legislature
stands follows - Senate, democrats %, wings
none; House, democrats 80, wings 4, so far as heard
from. Well done, Michigan
New JERsEY.-The full returns from this State
show the majority of HAINEs the democratic candi.
date for Governor, to be 1909. The wings have a
majority in both branches of the Legislature
TENNEssEE.-They have had several unsuccessful
balottlngs in the legislature for u. S. Senator
The wings all by the ears. and the scattering
terribly. By law the election is required to be made
during the first thirty days of the session; failing
to do this they had introduced law proonging the
time.
