The Spring EIectiOns-Heavy
-ja Democratic Gains.

On account of the detention of railway
trains by the late storm we are without
our usual exchanges from the various
Western States, and consequently, are able
to present only few additional details of
the result of the local elections held on
Monday and Tuesday.
MISSOURI.
We have no further intelligence than
that contained in our telegraphic dis
patches, but enough has been received to
show that in st. Louis the Conservatives
have carried the general ticket by about
5000 majority, in q poll OF 14,OOO votes.
In Dubuque the election on the I'd passed
off very quietly. The Herald says:
"a very large vote was polled, much
larger than was anticipated, and consid-
erably in excess of any for several years.
The whole Democratic ticket WAS elected
by majorities ranging from 14S to 320,
the average being hard on to 250. The
Democrats have done more than well, and
are deserving of large praise. The Repub-
licans made big fight and spent large
sums of money. But it will do them no
good"
MICHIGAN.
The recent elections throughout the
State for local officers show the most graf
flying results. Cities and towns have gone
Democl attic which have heretofore been
claimed as belonging to the Radical fac
ton. In some places the Democratic ticket
was carried for the first time in many
years.
ILLINOIS.
The returns of the local elections in this
State which have reached us, all show un-
mistakable gains for the Democracy. In
Springfield the election resulted in most
decided triumph. The vote was the larg-
est ever pOlled in the township, being 2,lS4
against vote of 1,73S last spring. The
Democratic majorities range from $50 to
200. There is gain of about 400 since the
last election. All the townships in Sanga-
mon county exhibit the same evidences of
increased conservatism.
The election in Peoria resulted in a COM
plete triumph for the Democracy-the ell
tire ticket being carried by 200 majority.
The returns from Jacksonville are even
more gratifying. Last year the city cleo
tiOn was carried by the Republicans by a
majority of 600. Now the supporters Of
Andrew johnson elect their whole ticket
by majority of over 100-thus effecting a
change of over 700 votes within the past
year.
At the Ottawa charter election on the
10Th ult., the Democratic ticket was elected
bya very large majority, and the candi-
dates were run upon their political record
alone, for the Presidential policy and
against it.
MINNESOTA.
The city election in st. Paul, as was ex-
pected, resulted in the election of the entire
Democratic ticket by majority of about
400.
At St. Anthony and Hastings the Demo
cratic candidates were elected by increased
majorities over last year. These are the
only towns heard from.
INDIANA.
For the first time in five years the Demo
Gratis of indianapolis went to the polls on
Monday without fear of being mobbed, and
the result is indicated by Democratic gain
of 5l56. Although defeated by fraud o.
the present election, all feel that they have
the majority in that vicinity henceforth.
AT Evansville the test was distinct one
politically, between the friends of Presi'
dent johnson and the Radicals, and the
Conservatives have carried the entire ticket
by large majority.
Partial returns from other points show
large Democratic gains from the last elec'
tiOn
