Wisconsin tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1847-1854, 1852-11-04
The Result.

The result of the election in this place on Tues
day last is truly gratifying the friends of Scott
and Graham Tie fact that over two hundred of
voters have gone to California within the last
two years, (three fourths of whom were whigs)
and the addition Of some sixty seventy Ger
man voters GALL Of whom are locofocos) to our
population, left but little doubt in the minds of all
who have considered these facts that the Pierce
ticket would obtain much larger majority than
II has done In addition to this, may be mention.
Ell the fact that there are some protested Wings in
Mineral Point, who have done their best to defeat
part OF the Wing ticket and while such were
negecting the Electoral ticket to accomplish their
ends, many true Wings devolved their time to pre-
vent the defeat the candidates thus opposed The
result has shown how the people veiw the acts of
boilers, and trust taught them a lesson that
may be studied to their profit.
Another circumstance has tended to diminish
the majority, ii net 10 defeat part of our county
ticket. 4 large number of Wing tickets, Except
the names Of one or two Locofocos in the place
of Whigs.) were got out by the other party, and
we are confident, that Mr. Gray owes his MAORI
~ in this place over Mr. Thomas to this fact
Quite number OF good Wings voted thus, suppo-
sing they were voting for Mr.. Thomas An cleo
ton obtained under such circumstances, must be
truly fatterlng &c the successful candidate We
hope, however, that MIR Gray is too much of
gentleman TO employ such means himself to EN-
such means himself to obtain an election, or to
sanction it in others.
Taking into consideration all the circumstances
the Wings of Mineral Point are entitled to much
credit, for the partial success that has followed
their exertions.
