Chicago Times,
Fifty Counties are heard from and II is
certain That the entire Democratic State
ticket is elected.
Before this despatch was published
and before 1t rus legitima,ely made
public the Gazette said:
The State Election.
The sficial vote Of Iowa will not be count
Cd until the It'll Of NAV. The returns come
In more and more favorably TO the kepubli.
cans, ~ that little doubt exists in the mind
Of any observing person that. despite ,he
apathy II our friends. the State has agair
declared in favor Of the principles Of Free

from Dubuque county, showing an over
whelming defeat Of the Republicans. u culp
able indifference To the principles Of their
party, and then sgain learned the Quixotic
course Of johnson county. and saw III,
utter disregard Of the result manifested by
the Republicans in our own county, we he
gan 70 despair Of the success Of our ticket
But when the reports from the interior and
back counties began to come in. showing
thst the citizens there were aWak. to their
interests. we no longer feared the result.

this city Yesterday sent II a telegraph dis

Pro4&arsry paper IN the We&t-onnou"ci"g

party AT this election. II cannot win they
have fairly overreached themselves. and
neither salt nor . persistence in lying can
AVE them
There 10 no doubt now that the entire
State ticket is not elected, but the re-
turns certainly indicated it at the time,
and no one denies now that the Stat.
has gone Democratic. The Gazette
repeatedly said that in making its cal
culations they were upon the basis Of
the vote Of the Supt. Pub. ms.
This officer is elected by sos maj, and
soon after the above Islander the Gazette
admitted that the state had probably
gone democratic.-But notwithstand-
ing the fact that the gentleman in
question had returns from SO counties
while the Gazette admits he had from
only %, it felt itself bound to pronounce
the despatch false and on the part o
the author = piece Of ~knavery. The
despatch did not say that the Stat,
ticket had been elected by one thousand
majority or BY any other majorify.-
This originated entirely in the fertil,
brain Of the Editors Of the Gazette, o
formed . part Of the private adyicc'
they had received in advance OF TIL
mail, and in fact in ddrdnce (as we hav'
good reason to believc) ofthe telegraph
II parties intend to make use o
private dispatches for the purpose Q
attacking individuals through the col
umns Of q paper, they should mos
certainly aim at keeping a ~resperf~hl'
amount Of truth on their side.
We have no patience with and yer,
little respect for the Editors Of a pape
who will charge a respectable citize'
with falsehood and k%navery upon tn
strength Of a faischood, and then whe'
the same is spread out before them il
print not only refuse to correct thei
misstatcments but persist in them i
the face Of the public who know better
Such . course may win, but VI doubt il
The following gross misrcpresenta
ton in yesterdays Gazette explain
itself.-Compare that with the DIES
patch and decide who tells the lies.
n week or two ago We felt called upo
to rebuke a Democrat in this city for tel,
graphing abroad that his party had elect,
their ticket in this State bv "a thousand ma
iOrity. Our venerable neighbcr Of the ben
Ocrat thinks the ~returnes provea = a ''libs'
ler.' and guilty Of downright dishonest
and trickery Y Now these returns, 80 IA
~ received. show that Of the three State o
Zee elected. two were Democrats. and cleo
ted hy about five hundred majority. and tn,
third isa Republican elected by as maio,
ity. Thus it appears the Democratic ticke
wac not ali elected, and the portion success
full was not 40 by one thousand majority

rebukc.'
