Democracy for Justice of the Peace, lO4

votes: EN
In Liberty township, on the other hand,
one of the strongest Republicans townships
in the county, the Democrats elected a
Mayor, Justice of the Peace and two or
three other officers. So in Rushcreek, the
Democrats carried nearly everything be-
fore them. But in those townships, as in
this, there was no real test made of party
strength. At the same time, it is worthy
of remark as one of the signs of the times
-as an indication of the softening of the
Shell of Republican prejudice-that the
election of simon pure Democrats in such
townships as Rushcreek and Liberty, has
become possible of accomplishments.
Upon the whole, we take pleasure In as
suring the Democracy of the State that we
are entirely satisfied, not only with the re-
suit of last Mondays voting, but with the
evidences we have of the increase of our
local Democratic strength on the leading
issues of the great campaign before us.
Mark what we say, Logan county will
come in for an honorable share of the glory
of the grand and universal triumph next
fall.-Loqan Gazette.
DEMoCRATIc GAINS IN THE TOWNSHIP
ELECTIoNs-The Radicals are trying to
break the force of their defeat on the Con-
stitntiOn, by assuming that in the local
elections, in the towns OF the State, they
have fully maintained their former strength
and predominance. This is far from being
the fact. In controverting it we point to
che result in the different cities in the State.
Flint, Adrian, Pontiac, Port Huron, WAN
lotte, East Saginaw, Ypsilanti, and Hol-
land, all Radical last year, now elect DEM
ocratic Mayors. We lose Grand Rapids
upon local question, and the Mayor
in Monroe from similar difficult
Ey. In the returns thus far received
from the interior towns we find net
Democratic gain of some forty one Supervi-
s0rs, while in the popular vote gains are
reported everywhere. The gain in East
saginaw is over LOCO. 1t is nearly 200 in
Port Huron, and over 500 in Adrian. In
Eaton county we elect majority. OF the
Board of Supervisors, for the first time, we
believe, since the organization of the
county. In Lapeer the political complex
ion OF the Board is just reversed, as COM
pared with last year. Then the Board stood
twelve Radicals and five Democrats. Now,
twelve Democrats and five Radicals. In
Kalamazoo county the Board of Supervis-
ors stood, last year, twelve Republicans to
four Democrats. This year stands, eleven
Democrats to five Republicans. In Wayne
county we have made nearly or quite a
clean sweep-the Radicals having but three
supervisors this year, as against eight last
year. In Livingston county we gain four
supervisors, and the same number in WASH
tenaw. We have no doubt but full return
from the State will show strong and de-
cisive Democratic gain everywhere. The
Democracy of the State have worked well
and truly for the good old cause. and for
their local candidates, and the people every
where will thank them for their fidelity
and devotion, and for their undertaking
courage in the cause of the right.--Detroit
