The Elections.
UNIVERSAL REPUBLICAN VICTORIES.

NepNDlicaH victories In the large num-
Der Of State and municipal elections
lately held. First comes the State cleo
ton in Connecticut, in which we have
elected the whole State ticket, secured
both houses Of the Legislature, and the
four Congressman. The State Senate
stands two 10 one in favor of the Re
publicans, and in the House we have
thirty or forty majority. This is the
most complete triumph we have ever
achieved in Cincinnati The sham
Democracy are at length entirely wip-
ed out there.
Next comes the judicial election in
Michigan, which comes off on the 4th
inst, and in which George Martin, the
Republican candidate for Chief Justice,
ofthe Supreme Court is elected by over
10000 majority. The hitherto Demo
cratic city Of Detroit give him over 200
majority. Sham Democracy is no
where in Michigan.
The Rhode Island State election was
held on the same day, and resulted in
the election of the Republican Govern
or, Secretary of State and Attorney
General. There was no choice Of Lieu
tenant Governor and General Treasur-
er. In one Congressional district there
is no choice, there being three candi-
dates, and in the other Republican is
elected. The legislature is Republican
by an overwhelming majority.
The judicial election in Wisconsin
was held on the 5th inst. and this also
resulted in a complete Republican VIC
tory. The vote is overwhelmingly in
their favor, and beyond all their antici-
patlons. Paine is elected Chief Justice
OF the Supreme Court Of the State by
1000 or 5000 over Lynde, and this in
the face of late personal events which
were eninently calculated to prejudice
Pam S chances, though they were not
personal to his own character, but only
affected that Of the man who was main
~ instrumental in securing his selec-
ton as the candidate Of the Republic
ans. But no personal matters were al
lowed by the electors Of Wisconsin to
stand between them and their devo-
tons to Freedom, as the result very
satisfactorily demonstrates.
Next comes glorious St. Louis-the
noble standard bearer of Freedom
rights in the fortress Of slavery. The
municipal election was held in that city
on the 5th, and the Republicans elect
their Mayor by nearly 5000 majority,
their entire city ticket, and large ma
Ijority of the City Council.
The judicial election in Chicago, for
Judges and Clerks of the Superior
Court was also held last Tuesday, and
the Republican candidates were sue
cessful by an acreage majority of
1000.
The Cincinnati municipal election
was held on the 4th inst, and the op-
position elected their entire city ticket
by an average majority of 900, and
ten out of the sixteen Councilmen.
The Cleveland municipal election
on the 4th inst, resulted in the election
OF the Republican Mayor and their en-
tire city ticket.
The Schenectady charter election re-
suited in the election of the Republican
candidate for Mayor, and how much
more we don't know.
In Portland, Maine, the Republicans
elect their Mayor, Judge of the NUM-
cipal Court, and FIVE Of the seven. Al
dermen.
The keokuk, Iowa, election, held on
he 4th inst, resulted in the success of
the Republican Mayor, and a majority
Of the republican City Councilman.
In Davenport, Iowa, the Republi-
cans have elected their entire citv tick
ct and two-thirds of the Aldermen.
In indianapolis, Ind, the Rcpubli
cans elect their city ticket by hand
some majority.
In Carondoet, Missouri, the Repub-
licans their Mayor; and also in St. Fer
dinand, i'll the same State.
Racine, Wis, elects the Republican
city ticket by $50 majority.
Springfield, Missouri, heretofore
strongly Democratic, elects a Republi-
can Mayor.
Against this Republican spring ava
lanche the Democrats have only the
following very few and comparatively
unlmportant elections to oppose,
The municipal election in BROOKLYN,
n. Y, by 5000 majority.
Dubuque, Iowa, municipal election,
has gone Democratic, though the Re
Ipubilcans secure their Recorder.
The Freeport municipal election,
which they have carried by hand
some majority.
The Lyons, Iowa, municipal election,
but Republican Recorder.
This is all we can find for them, and
what beggarlv account it is. Not
worth neutrality-suspicious. Demo-
crdt.
