The Elections.

The official majority of Gov. Chase, in
Ohio, is 1903. aai.
The vote in Minneaota leaves matters
in doubt yet, with Ramsey, Republican
G5S ahead Of Sibley, the Dcmoeratic can,
didate. Great efforts will be made by the
friends Of the latter to manufacture sufi,
cient majoritics in the backwoods eoun-
ties to overcome this.
In Iowa, the off cial majority of Lowe,
the Republican candidate for Governor, is
1888. The Republican majority in the
State Senate is s; in the House 10.
The elections came off on Tuesday,
Nov 8, in the States of New York, Mas
sachusetts, Maryland, Wisconsin and
Louisiana.
In New York, the Republican State
ticket is defeated by from 10000 to
5000 majority, while we have a small
majority in the Legislature, Seven of
the twelve Judges of the Supreme Court
elected are Republicans; among them
Martin Grover, of the Allegany district.
In Massachusetts there is the greatest
triumph Of the year. n. P. Banks,
against whom there were three leading
ana'dates, is elected by plurality OF
23,7G3 oyer Gardner, his highest COM
petltor The Republicans of Massachu-
sets have crogned themselves with glory
in this campaign, The other candidates

In view of Buchanan's retention OF
Judges Cato and Lecompte on the Bench
of Kansas, and of his letter to Professor
Silliman and others, in which he assertes
that Slavery already exists in that Ter
ritory under the Constitution of the
United States; it is amusing to sec the
Buchanan press in Republican counties,
claiming that person as favoring the for
nation of Free State We eshall esteem
! it great favor if any person who pre-
tends to believe this, will just name a
single act of the President that has been
On the side of Freedom and justice in
that Territory. The retention of Judges
Lecompte and Cato, and every appoint
ment made has aided the Border Rufians
Governor Walker himself, by throwing
the apportionment of the Territory into
the hands of the Bogus officials, and bis
activity il the Kickapoo fraud, did all
that he we'll could to throw the Territory
ipto the hands oi the Border Rufians
but because he would not receive the
purel ly fictitious returns from Oxford pre-
cinct and McGee county, it is claimed
that President Buchanan has favored the
Free State cause. in Kansas. If there is
a single voter who can read English, dull
enough to be deceived by such logic, we
think he is entitled to much sympa-
thy, If the President desires to aid the
Fee State men in Kansas, or if he in
tends to do them simple justice, why
don't he dismiss Judge Cato, who is
using his Judicial power to cQ1tPeI Wlak-
er to recognize the Oxfurd fraud and give
certificates to the Border Rufians whom
that fraud would elect? Why don't he
approve of Walkers refusal to copnten-
ancc that fictitious return Can the War
rem Ledger tell?
The simple truth is, FIeedQn has tri-
umPhed in Kansas in spite Of the efforts
Of the Administration to crush it. In
spite of the Cincinnati Platform party,
that has removed every Governor the mo.
ment he refuses to do all the dirty work
of the Slave Power, and that will remove
r. j. Walker, because of his refusal to
damn himself with endorsing the Oxford
swindle, And yet, after Walker has
been killed for his one act Of simple JUS
tice, the Free Kansas Buchanan men will
continue to shout, great is the service
done to Freedom by the party. Such
Seryility is simply contemplate.

Those who cannot raise money will do u
a great favor by sending us grain, pota-
