The returns come in very slowly, but
enough is known. however, to assure
the success Of the entire Republican
State ticket. ~
The vote has been light the State over,
and while everywhere the Democrats
have made strong pull on the 'possunn
dodge, the Republicans have rested in
too easy confidence of success. Stones
will probably be about 10000.
Now that the election is over of course
the copperheads can show their hand.
Wherever there is a gain on the vote for
futile two years ago, they cry "Demo-
cratic GAIN" They are utterly regard
less OF Benton's repeated declaration
that he was not the Democratic candi-
date. The Cops, however, knew better
knew that he was.
Strange rs it may seem many have
been deceived by the dodge which the
adopted in running Ben
ton; still Stones majority on the rela-
tive vote of this year and years ago,
will not be materially reduced. This is
a discouraging fact for the Copper
heads, and one that speaks plainly of
the estimation the people have of Gov.
Stone, and of the incorruptible sound
ness of the State of Iowa. We are very
well satisiied with the result
