AMERICAN TRI-
UMPHS.
Essex County.
NEW YoRK ELECTION.

fceTs are elected, by decided majorltes IN
She following towns, which are all we have
%eceived as yet: "Chester6eld, 100 ma
jority; Jay, about so do; Elizabethtown,
a8do; Lewis, 10 do; Willsboro', majority
not known; Essex, majority not known
Fusion tickets in each of these towns were
nominated and large vote polled, and the
cry was "death to Know Notbings."
Peru and Plattsburgh have also gone for
Sam. In Keeseyille, correspondent
writes as follows, as to what Sam done in
that town: 1--WE have met the enemy aud
they are ours" notwithstanding the most
desperate efforts made by the fusionists we
have carried our town by the unprecedent-
ed majority of l6o over everything; mum
Der ofYotes polled $751;"
Madison County.
The town election of Hamilton resulted
in a most signal Know Nothing triumph.
A correspondent writes TO the Albany
Register as follows: Yesterday the u
biquitous Sam" passed through our town,
and as near as can be calculated, was
"seen" by several Of our Inhabitants
There were some half dozen different tick
els out, some Of them piping hot after the
Oaytde, black spirits and white, blue spirits
and gray but as they were not fast col
ors, Sam concluded 10 adopt that Of the
yerilable Ilindoo. The result showed the
success of the entire American ticket, with
an average majority Of 1913. The contest
was on the Supervisor; but he came out
914 ahead
The opponents Of tho American ticket
resorted to every effort to defeat it, but
their efforts were a perfect 'Gzzle' The
best joke among their performances was
placing on the tickets two of the candi-
dates of our ticket, supposing them to be
Anti but they appear to have caught
some Know Nothings,' and helped to elect
them. and long and loud were their de-
nunciations when tIiey ascertained how
completely they were deceived.
Hrtkimer County.
The town Of w arren has sent for Sam.
One Of his friends writes as follows:-
Yesterday we freed the town of Warren
from tho iniquisy and corruption with
which il has so long been cursed; and
from a power more despotic and oppressive
than the Papal authority Of Rome. Union
was the battle cry OF the opposition, but in
such union as was theirs, nothing was
found but weakness and imbccility. II
was but the uniting of one decayed and
crunibling body TO another of like condi-
tion, that each might hasten the others
destruction, by its own infrmities and
cerruptions. The union consisted of a
confused mass of different striped p)liti-
clans, with these were joined few for
mer Whigs-who were sometime since os-
trecised for being found destitute Of Whig
principles, and since that time have been
unable to find that party which would ex-
tsnd toward them parental caro-. Add to
these few rabid aboltionists-me with
fine texture OF brain, and exceedingly
philahthropic, where there is no need Of
philanthropy, and you have our antagon-
