TIE .ELECTFOF.

Well, eve have met the enemy, and
we are theirs at least so far as the
State is concerned, how it was accom-
plished, we will not argue; that we
have been defeated, fair or foul, is en-
ough Tor us to know.
We wish to have as little political
matter in our paper as possible, cow
that the election is over, yet we cannot
relrain from congratulatin2 the Democ.
racy of " Little Elk on the splendid
victory achieved by them on the 9th
inst. They have the proud conscious
uess of knowing that hcy did all they
could to prevent the dire results which
will surely follow the triumph of the
Radicals.
Let no Democrat be discouraged -
There will yet be work to do. Your
party has been defeated, but it does not
follow that it will be extinct. To our
mind, it is but triumph Of might over
right. BE steadfast, for
"Truth crushed to earth shall rise again,
"The eternal years of God are hers"
Then, fellow Democrats, take courage,
and when the time comes, up and at
them again, as you did on last Tuesday

the Cholera and took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out OF
