Result Of the Election.

Below we give lie figures 0. tie EIec-
ton in this county, by which it will be
seen that the Democratic party has been
routed - horse. foot, and dragoons.' We
might give reasons for the overthrow, but
vii! defer them fol another occasion, suf
fee it to say now that tie Ianitowoc
Uerald, the party organ, the pail organ,
has since the nomination Of Judge DoUG
LAS, opposed his election, and the editor
and his friends have let no opportunity
pass without at least prcjudicing him and
his party in the minds of Democrats
Hence, men, rather than vote for BRECK-
I<EIpGE, made clean jump over TO Re
pubIicanism. While we regret the defeat
of several Of our candidates, We cannot
torbear TO rema, K that the party has been
taught a lesson Of wisdom. No party,
however strong, can sustain corruption
long, for the people will, as they have now,
take matters in their own bands. No
Democrat will now deny that the name Of
CHAs. a. REUTER- Las killed the ticket and
the party in this county. The party has
learned a lesson and we trust will profit by
it. The town Of Eaton is not included in
the figures. It probably give at least
100 Democratic majority.
