Our condition is not so alarming as
to Justify resort to such arbitrary,

The Elections.

There il nothing for the democrats to dcs
pair Of even il the three states which held
elections on Tuesday have gone against
them. The ms jorities at best must be small,
and they have been won By the radicals, If
won at all, only with the most strenuous et.
fort, backed by every possible appliance Of
corruption. The radical leaders realized
that they were facing fate itself; and to men
thus placed, with their past on trial and their
future unknown, the attempt to maintain
themselves secure was work almost of des
peration.

They have had no motive to labor and strive

well deserved it nay, their very defeat can
never be regarded as a fair and free expires
