There is a majority for the entire Rcpub-

Aside from that, the majorities range from
40 to 81. Curtis has 73 majority.
The Republicans may well feel deeply
gratifed at this suspicious result. The bat
tie was well fought, and We have an average
majority of over so. We have not had our
work for nothing, for we have established
the fact that keokuk is emphatically u Re-
pu lican city.

The TiMEs on JUpog BALLIxGgR.-The
Times attempts to excuse itself for refusing
to publish tho article Of Judge Ballnger,
which appeared in our columns, and alude.
to u case OF our own in point. The matter
with reference to the Judge stands thus Il
made report Of his speech which misrepre.
sents his sentiments, quoted his language in
accurately, and left him in a false position
furthermore it published positive falsehood,
with reference to his private conduct. When
appealed to to insert a reply from the Judge,
II dec'ired, even though it should be paid
for as an advertisement, which condition the
Judge was perfectly willing to accept. The
Tunes has right to prescribe its own con.
ditions, and to exclude epery comfhunica
, ton. We do not dispute that Yet to do
SO, under oil conditions, it seems to us would
not be dealing honorably by all men, and the
exclusion Of the Judges defence, temperate
and candid rs it was, seems to us unfair,
and, so tar - we are competent to interpret
the rules which generally obtain in our pro-
fession. contrary to the general practice. Il
had published falsehoods concerning him !;
unknowingly. perhaps, but falsehoods never
.heless; it was but equity to let him defend
himself before the same audience who lis
tened to the charges. IL he mixed up, to
some extent, what seemed to the editors ir-
relevant matters, or made political illusions
tina, seemed TO them likely to mislead, they
could accompany his article with all neces-
sary explanations and contrary arguments.
Ii he oyerreached the space that they deem
ed adequate for his purpose, or entrenched
upon that space which they desired to occu-
py otherwise, it was proper to charge adj
vertising prices for all extra space occupied
The rule Indicated in this statement, is one
which we should and do follow. That
which the Times prescribed to the Judge
seems to us emphatically unjust and ungen-
,lemanly. Let others decide for them
selves.
The Times alludes to d case Of ours. 1t
is one with reference to Col. Ciagett. In
that instance. We said i've owed him no
courtesy" Neither did We. But we con.
sdered his an exceptional case from CON-
