The march Of Freedom continues steadily
onward Within the last year the freemen o
the North, regardless of the threats of ih,
Southern ssUnion Discovers, and their North

! their intention next year to wfest the Naiiona
Government from the hands of our present
o-slayeIy Locofeco rulers. The election,
held in the States north of Mason and Dixon's
! line, since the commencement Of the present
year, have resulted in succession of Oppo.
sition victories the most brilliant in The politi-
cal history of this country.
Maine rolls up Republican majority of r..
600. This is gain Of four thousand over
last year. The Senate consists Cf 80 Repub
licans and one Democrat The House con-
sists OF 1l9 Republicans and 30 Democrats
Main is worthy Of her motto -"Dvigo''--s'I
show the way -
New Hampshire givesa Republican majority
of 1924, eleeting Republican Governor,
Republican State Officers, and Republican
Legislature. The Granite State stands firm as
its own mountains
Vermont re-elects Republican Governor
by $4,000 majority, and Legislature in which
dougb-faces are few and far between. It was
supposed that Vermont could not be more
thoroughly Republican than il had proved itself
in preceding elections, but the contrary is shown
by an actual increase over the overwhelming
Republican vote Of last year.
Rhode Island gives, out Of vote of eleven
thousand, 1904 Republican majority-a ma
iority bigger than the whole Democratic vote
10 the State.
Connecticut was sorely besiegad By the
emissa.ies of the Democratic Administra:i sion,
lying exposed as it does to convenient assault
from their stronghold in the city of New York
Nevertheless, the Gland of Steady Habits
proves its steadness by recording Republican
majority of 1900. carrying Governor, Lagis-
lature and State officers.
Pennsylvania, the hardest fought battle field
in nearly all Presidential contests the Key
Stone deemed essential to success, you'd have
been saved to Democracy if money, patronage
aud work, both legitimate and fraudaIent could
do it. The Key Stone drops into the Peoples
arch with round majority of 1900!
Ohio's place is naturally on the side Of
Freedom, and 10 spite Of the efforts made
there TO save Democratic Senator. she seconds
the crushing blow dealt by Penn sylvania with
another like sort. $4,000 ia her mark at the
least.
Iowa, SO long stronghold OF Democracy,
has taken her stand for Republican principles,
and will maintain it. $500 majority attests
her determination TO completely purge her OWE
Capital and her seats in tbs Capital at Wash
ineton of all traces OF Dough-face Democracy
Minnesota Here at least the Democrats
thought themselves secure. With unrivalled
opportunities For fraud in the back settlements,
and at The Governments Indian Agencies
opportunities which have been zealously i'm
proved, thfy counted on Minnesota as certain,
But the People proved too strong Tor the Ad-
ninistration, backed by al the Indians aud
bogus white men it could muster. Minnesota
decides by majority Of 1900 to have a Re-
publican Governor, Republican Legislature,
Congressman, and RePntlican United States
Senator.
Oregon and Nebraska. although naw commit
nuni,ies, open to all tho appliances of Execu-
tive interference. are also Republican. By
reckless misuse of their power, the Democrats
deny certificates OF election TO the chosen Rep
resentatiyes. But Congress will do them JUS
tice, OF il 1t does not, Oregon and Nebraska
will roll up Republican majorisies next year
that Democracy will not dare to even try to
smother.
New York in this State the Democrats
calculated largely upon the effect of the recent
insurrection at Harper's Ferry, and flooded
every county With letters and pretended reve-
lations, from the South, duplicating the Re-
publican party in that silly movement. But
the old Brown dodge signaly failed, and not
withstanding the Americans refused to endorse
half the Republican ticket, the whole of it is
elected, portion OF it by not less than 30,-
600! The Republicans have also large major
tiles in both branches of the Legislature, and
have elected three fourths of the County off.
GERS in the State.
Massachusetts, the gallant sold Bay State"
he's covered herself with glory, as usual. The
election was for Governor, flor which there were
three candidates- Republican, Wing and Dem
ocratic,l Members of the Legislature and local
officers. The plurality for Banks, the Repub-
lioan candidate, over the Democratic nominee,
is % ,25S. The Senate stands 81 Republicans
4 Democrats and doubtful. The House 1872
Republicans, so Democrats and opposition.
The entire Republican State ticae. is elected
Randall, the Republican candidate for Congress,
is re elected. Good for Massachusetts,
New Jersey has done we'll, under the crcum-
stones. Mr.. Olden, the Peoples candidate for
Governor, is elected by 2, ,12l majority, and the
probability is that there will be an Opposition
majority in the Assembly and on joint ballot
Wisconsin also stands firm, the Opposition
electing their State ticket by handsome ma
jority, and refining their assendancy in the
Legislature.
