THE IOWA ELECTION.

Sufficient results have been received to
show that the Union voters swept everything
before them at the recent election. We have
elected our entire State ticket, six Congress
men, being therfnli delegation. nearly an the
District Judges, District Attorneys, and have
elected the county officers in nearly all the
counties Of the State. This is the result OF
allowing our noble and patriotic soldiery the
right Of suffrage. Would that the same
right had been secured to the soldiers of
our sister States. Over the result in this
Judicial District there has bsor little doubt
but it is now csrrain that Burt (Rsp.) is
elected N Black Hawk Burt gets 36l major
ity, in Grundy l13, in Buchanan 121 and
in Delaware ale, making total Of 9l4. In
Dubuque county Wilson gsts 1867 majority,
-lsaving q majority in favsr Of the latter Of
743., To overcsme this We have the soldiers
vote. Returns from Ill the regiments have
not yet bsea received, but We give the vote
az far as heard from. The following figures
are naajorities for Burt: .2lst regiment 2s6 !;
S2nd, CO.; 18th, 90; eth, l19; 31st,' 1903 !
9Th, 81 I; Hayaen's Battery, 70. Total s92.
This sdded to Burts majority given, above
gives him 1905, against Wilson's 1851 Nov.
in addition to the above W. have majorlties
in thcsd, 18th, 18th, in the regiments
1t Helena, in the cavalry service, and
from the soldiers in different Hospitals. in al
amounting to not less than l5or majority,
and probably it will exceed shis, II ispera
fectly safe to claim Burt's election by 100
majority. II. av5g =.
Desperate efforts we're made to. elect Viii

were perpetrstedin Dubuque county to gain

elections in Ohio and Indiana. The former
has gone Democratic by almost 12.oo0, and
the latter by from 5000 to 6, 600 majority =
The cause Of this is easily explained. Ohio
has sent 100, 900 voters into the Unisn army,
and Of this number full ~, 900 are Republi

voted against the bogus Democracy had they
been at home. Indiana has sent $4,000 vo,
