Great Republican Victories in 81. Louis

THE PEOPLE ALL RIGHT!

Cincinnati speaks as she should speak
for the constitution and for freedom
against the National Democracy and its
courruptions. 1t is great triumph, that
of the Republicans on Monday last, on
the municipal election.
But great as is this triumph. the tri-
umph in St. Louis is greater still. There
is signifance, soul. in that. 1t is a mag
ni6ed protest, on slave soil, against the
aggressive policy of the slave power. It
is a manly asssveration on the part of free
white men, in behalf Of free " hite labor,
and its rights. 1t is a glorious denunci.
alton against fraud at the ballot box, and
glorious defence of justice and liberty in
the State and in the nation.
Then what majority How the voice
of the people of st. Louis concentrated
and pesled forth with all the command
ing majesty of power! 1882 majority
for Filley as Mayor of St. Louis on last
Monday. The morale Of that vote in
Missouri no man can measure-its effect
upon the emancipation feeling there, no
one can tell.
We give hearty cheers for this mighty
triumph in st Louis. We congratulate
the heroic men who won it. The whole
country will congratulate them-for its
heart-but will quicken over it

ELEcrToSs.-The Democratic tide seems
to be running lower and lower, every day.
New Hampshire led off in the Spring
elections. crushing Democracy nat Con-
necticut and Rhode Island. have recently
voted. and followed suit. In RboGe
Island, the Democracy had nothing to
lose, and have lost it. In Connecticut
they had two Doughface Congressmen
and government money was poured out
with lavish hand. to continue them In
their seats. But it was no go-they lost
everything, and have met with terrible
overthrow. New England will now have
not a single Democrat in either branch
of Congress and in the lower House.
there is now a clear, reliable majority
against them.
A number of Municipal elections have
also recently taken place. In 81. Louis

Portland, Springfield. Detroit, Cleveland
and other cities. the Democracy have
been badly whipped. The only city oil

"PEKcEFUL" NEBRAsKA.-Some of the
ruf6Ans who were driven out of Kansas,
have become wonderfully "stuck up"
since that time. The Peoples Press, at
Nebrasks City. recently gave 9 home
thrust to some of the gentry engaged in
the Surveyor Generals Office. One Gen.
Maclean. Of Kansas frauds, canile-box
and wood-pile notoriety. took it in high
dudgeou, and demanded of Mr. Irish, the
editor Of the Press. an explanation or re-
traction. Irish did not see proper to do
60, and Maclesn sent him q challenge.
Irish refused to dirty his hands with him,
and MAelssH posted him as q coward.
These WORTHLESS have been carrying their
bullyism to high pitch. and are upheld
BY . number of the Nebraska papers.
Irish. we believe. claims to be a Demo-
crEt, but refuses to sing ceaseless hosannss
to niggerism. He is therefore denounced

E% The District Court was in session
at Troy, last week-but very unsatis-
factory one it was, in consequence Of a
want Of accommodations in the town.
Since We have been throwing dirt with
the editor of the Democrat. some of our
readers may have thought that we exag-
gerated matters in that delectable place ;
but we have told only the truth, as far as
accommodations are concerned. AS poor
as they were year ago, it is said they
were infinitely better than at present. The
hotel was riddled out by the town rowdies,
and strangers were compelled to go the
country for board and lodgings. A num-
Der Of cases, at the instance of those con-
concerned. were put off until the next
Court, for no other reason than this mis-
cradle state Of things. The Democrat
may attempt to cover up this. by black
guarding us but too many persons have
recently experienced the truth of what we
have said, for him to effect anything by
his favori,c mode of argument

posrnAs Cousrr NEwsr.FERs.-The

DoxPHAS CoUSTY NEwsPAPERs.-The
Elwood Press has been discontinued. A
paper was first started there nearly two
years sgo since which time it mas borne
several names. been discontinued some
half dozen times. and changed hands
very frequently. Now it has some under
once more. We dislike to chronicle a
newspaper death; but the fact cannot be
denied, and we have often alluded to it,
that there are entirely too many papers
in this sparsely populated country. DOni-
phan County has had as high as six at
one time. This is running the thing to
death, and those who engage in such en-
terprises ought to be acute enough TO per-
ceive it.
Doniphan County has now two papers
left-the Chief and the Palermo Leader.
The Troy Democrat. perhaps, considers
itself alive but we believe it never issues
regularly three weeks in succession. For
several weeks 1t has boon issuing small
slips, for the purpose of fulfilling the re-
quirements of the law in regard to one or
two small legal advertisements. 1t claims
to be waiting the arrival of paper from St.
Louis. But it is published at a point which
cannot begin to give paper the shadow
of support, and is the organ Of party
which viii not keep it up. The Leader
aud the Chief, therefore. are the only two
regularly issued sheets in the County
one in the upper and the other in the low
er part. The people Of the County should
endeavor to give them such support as
will insure their continuance. Two pa
pers are amply sufficient for Doniphau
County; and if her people extend to them
such a support as they deserve, they will
get ont Of the notion that there ought to
be at least a dozen half-starved sheets in
the County.
