BLooMNGToN, H., April 2O.-The great
est triumph for the democracy was achieved
in the city Of Bloomington, to day, by the
election of John NJ Stillwell, as mayor, that
has ever gladdened the heart of democrat
since the incorporation of Bloomington as a
CITY. The democracy turned out en- ntdsse,
and with the assistance of the anti-puritans,
nti-prcscriptionists, and the conservative
republicans, rolled up the handsome majority
of 235.
Bloomington has heretofore been the hot
bed of radicalism the nursery of woman
suffrage and negro equality principles the
nest OF pnritanism, in which has been hatch
ed all the foul istns which so happily return
to plague their inventors and recoh upon
them with such deadening effect. Every
effort was made by the radicals 70 carry the
election. A procession of $50 women
marched from poll TO poll, electioneering
enthusiastically in the cause OF prescription,
prohibition, and pro-women, oil OF which
had the desired effect OF disgusting those who
might have voted the republican ticket, and
causing them to vote clean democratic bal
lot. a MAYOR Auu tHicc aAISEmeu out % ~
is triumph of which we are justly proed,
and tonight we are celebrating our VIC
tory by the firing Of cannon, bontires, and
music. ... -.
The German and Irish elements came to
the help of the democracy with firm and
unfinching determination to assist that par
ty which will not prohibit nor prescribe any
Of their rights. The democracy of Bloom
ingtou trust that their great triumph here is
but the faint rumbling of the thunders of
victories that shall greet US from Chicago
and all parts Of the state. es QffS
