not as great in this District as some of the
Republican gains in certain districts in ln-

majority of the next Illinois delegation in

The Republicans throughout the entire

greatly cheered since the late elections have
rendered Lincoln's success apparent.
The Democracy are discouraged, heart
broken. and no longer "unterri6ed." Brag-
ring and betting have been their special
games, but as so many of them have been
made to feel the pecuniary effects since last
