Recent Elections.

kcr of elections have occurred in various
portions of the United States of greater
or less importance, but which in most
casas, seem to present something like a
CLEAN CT hope that the northern people
are be ginning 10 awake from the apathy
in which they have lain for six or seven
years past, and to realize tho rapidity with
which radical fanaticism has been hurrying
the country TO ruin.
We give below condensed statement
Of the result of the elections in various
parts of the country.
RuoDE ISLAND. In this State the radi-
cnls as usual were completely successful, bu
the State is mere appendage 70 Mnssa-
chus" it's andwe never expect nor hardly de-
sire her to vote otherwise.
Nav HAMpsuiRE. The democrats have
gained very largely in the recent elections
held in this State, the radicals having
lost several count les, several Senators. and
largely also ia the House Of Represe nta-
tivcs.
CoYNEcTIcUT This State rs we noticed
in our last has been gloriously redeemed.
The full returns for Governor are as fol
lows
English, Democrat 45. 1877
Hawley, Republican a.. .SQS
Democrat Majority 9T9
A Democratic gain of !. 526 since last
year.
The Senate stands II republicans and
10 democrats, and lhave alsol detected three ou
Of four members of congress.
WIscoNsIN-Various charter elections
were held throughout this State On the
End of April. The radicals were success
fil in Kenosha. and the democrats in
Madison and Milwaukee, electing their
municipal ticket in the latter city by 1900
majority.
Missouri radical candidate for
mayor Of St. Louis was elected by about
1900 majority. Mr.. Davis, con servative
was elected mayor of St. Josephs. In
this State it will be remembered that
large numbers of the citizens ere still dis
franchisod,, by the operation Of laws simil-
lar to those that recently prevailed in
Maryland. '''
MINNEsTA.-The democratic city ticket
/ in St. Paul was elected On April 2nd by
about 1000 majority. Several small
towns in TIE State gave republican major
tiles
OnIo-Atth the charter election in Clea-
vcland, held April End the democrats
elected their candidate for mayor, Ste
phen Bahrcr, by .tfve hundred majority, and
gained two members of the city council
from wards heretofore overwhelmingly
republican The Democratic gain over
the vote of last fall is about thirteen hun
dred. This is the first election Of dem
ocratic mayor in six years. The result
of this election in Cleaveland, a city in
tue centre of heretofore intensely radical
population is the most surprising AID
gratifying indication that We have seen
yet of change in public sentiment. 1t
shows that the po,ple of the great State of
Ohio and of the vest generally are be-
ginning to awaken to the fact that they
have been cheated and led by the nose long
enough by the puritaneial fanatics of Mas
sschpsctts, and that they are beginning
to think and act for themselves and their
own interests.
New YoRK. The charter election held
at Rome, April 2nd resulted in the elec-
tion of the entire democratic ticket, with
gain of two hundred over last year
james Bevans, tho democratic fcandidate
for president hes five hundred majority.
The democrats elect six out of nine trus-
tees. Another encouraging sign from
New York. Straws show vhick way the
wind blows !
