Republican TriumPhs. M
During the past week, we have given, in ad-
vance Of all other papers, the news of the gio'
rious Republican triumphs throughout the States.
ssLittle Rhody'' has cleaned the Democrats out
completely, the Republicans electing all their
men by greater majority than the number OF
votes cast for the Shamocracy.
New Hampshire, too, is the arena of Repub-
lican victory unparalleled they sweeping the
state by 5000 majority; electing every state of6i
Ger and sending back to Congress an unbroken
phalanx of Representatives, thoroughly, deter
mnedly Republican.
Connecticut retains her noble stand on the side
of human rights and human reason. The Dough
faces are completely overthrown by a clean vic
tory of the Republicans over a desperate fusion
of Democrats and ow-Nothings. Like anoth-
er kind of fuse, it has communicated a spark to
the combustible magazine they had prepared for
their enemies, and the plotters are blown sky
high
Cincinnati-the Sevastopol of the Ohio Bor-
der Rufians-has yielded to the "devouring ele-
ment,' and the old field of loco victories is COM
pletely burned over. Cincinnati, within a hum
dred miles of Slave State, has gone for the first
time Republican!
Cleveland has gone Democratic by 300 major
ity. 4t.r
In Wisconsin, last week, the Republicans elect
ed their candidate, Judge Wilton, to the Supreme
Court, at the special election held for the pur-
pose. They also elected majority of the mu-
nicipal officers of Democratic Milwaukee.
A. Qsh $hoD all aok
ed their ticket by 5000 to 10000 majority. No
details. -.-. .
But the most wonderful and telling triumph
was in st. Louis on the 7th. We published the
news two days ago, but will here add few addi.
tional facts. Full returns give Winner 5,4s7 |;
Pratt, 1859; Lane 1881. The Emancipation
lists have large majority in both branches of the
City Council and all the city officers. 1t is now
said that large number of Americans voted for
Pratt, believing him to be the only candidate who
was able to beat the Emancipation ticket. The
Border RufEans are routed, horse, foot and dra-
goons. JOHN w. WMER, the Emancipationist,
the Republican, the ardent Free Soiler, the friend
of free speech, free labor and free labourers is
Mayor, backed by mojority Of seventeen hun
dred phiie mems uotes Benton had written a
letter against Emancipationists, but "the Missou-
ri Democrat" says the Chicago Tribune, edit
ed by as noble a Kentuckian as ever ived-a
man who has been better Benton Democrat than
Benton himself-was not discouraged by the un-
expected rebuff from that quarter, but in words
that thrilled sent back defiance to the old man
who in a dark hour separated himself from his
lifelong friends" Says the Democrat The
rights of the white man are dear to our heart
The cause of white labor is the cause of our own
citizens.

Others may abandon the field, and forget their
faith and shrink from the issue, but we are not
of such stuff. The banner has been unfurled too
long to be stricken now it is glorious with too
recent victory to be trailed in the dust at this
day: and we proclaim it, therefore, that come the
assault from what quarter it may, and be the
opponents whoever may see fit to engage, ,0e shall
stand to these colOrs as long as ribbon Of them
floats in the breeze"
So, neither Benton's desertion, the howlings of
the Rufians, or the fears of the timid availed.-
The Emancipationsts never faltered for a day
but with that glorious banner proudly waving,
marched on to the achievement of the greatest
victory of the age. The Tribune says that the Re-
publican party in St. Louis is relatively as strong
as the same party in Chicago Let Minnesota
take her stand in the vanguard of this noble

~ Mr.. Mayo has just returned from the East
and reports that during his absence he was made
the medium of sundry donations to the est. Paul
Library Association. .''-one man giving $50, and
others similar sums, and still another sending
valuable and tangible present in the shape of
standard books for the new Library. This liber-
ality will encourage the young men of that excel
lent society to renewed exertions to build it up,
and it should meet with hearty and substantial
response on the part of our citizens. Who will
subssribe--or rather who will MOTTO strengthen
this worthy association that will be an ornament
to our city's future? Are these things appreciat-
ed by Us? .t..1
In JAm.-By permission of the Mayor we vis-
tied the new City Jail in the City Hall Building,
the other day, and were most happily surprised
to find so great degree of comfort and security.
The whole is excellently ventilated, and the cells
are light, clean, healthy and strong. The prison
discipline, too, seemed mild, yet straightforward
and thorough, and we turned away heartily re-
freshed, and glad that the city had finally procu-
red place where rascals could be incarcerated
without cherishing the consoling anticipation of
whiting their way out when they get tired board
ing at the city's expense. Aa

Let our readers remember that there is no dan

The st. Paul Times and the Pioneer have
each copied an item from the Republican Advo-
cate of the 2lst March, headed "Our Prospects, %
and credited it to the Henderson Democrat. Be
careful, Republican Advocate.
We had no intention of giving the wrong credit
for anything, especially as the Advocate is very
credit-able paper, and We gladly acknowledge
the uintentional error. But, (curious coinc-
dence y we find in the same number of the paper
which complains justly, as sbsve, three editorial
'items" cut bodily from the Times, without any
