| LUZ SutCusU iUcs luuS sums UP the re-
suit Of the Of the brilliant Democratic vic.
tory st the election held In that city on
Tuesday of lost week:
The Republican National Convention will
be compelled to hold its session in q Dem.
ocratic city-unless il moves awsy from
Chicsgo.
The chief city Of Grants own State has
pro nounced against him.
Chicago is Democratic.
Al he election. the Democracy carried
the city by nine hundred andi majority
electing:
The Democratic candidate for Judge OF
Recorders Court, and
The Democratic candidate for Clerk Of
the Recorders Court; and
Gaining four A ldermsn.
This is great glory.
Last year, at the msyorsl,y election. the
Republican majority was 1858. Demo.
cratic gain, 4s48!
The Democracy have covered themselves
with hon or and triumph.
The Republicans have covered themselve
with confession and defeat.
Itis magnificent victory.
The people have spoken in a loud voice.
II great p'emonito'y symtom.
II 10 the handwriting on The wall.
1t mesns greenbacks.
1t means Pendleton.
II means revolution.
II means that the day Of reckoning with
the destructionists and spoilers is at hand.
II mes ms that civil liberty end the rights
Of the States are TO be re.estsblished oil over
the land, and military despotism crushed un.
der the heel Of the people.
Had there been perfectly free election,
tho Democratic msjority would have been
three or four thousand. It wss not . free
election, because. In the Democratic wards,
the voting wss obs,fucsed BY Republican
partisan election boards 10 every possible
way; while, 10 Republican wards Il YVES is.
cilitated IN every possible way.
But this scsndslo conduct Of Republi.
can partisan cleo tion boards mskes our vic.
tory greater. The Democracy succeeded
against every obstacle that could be thrown
against them.
Werepest, the Repub icsn National Con.
ve olion will be compelled 10 hold It's session
in Democratic ci,y-uniess i, moves away
from Chicago.
Chicago 10 Democratic.
The indianapolis Journal charges that the
Democracy carried the election in THAI city
BY fraud. Here 10 what the Chicago Repub.
licsn, an ultra adicaI paper, says Of the 60.
lection:
Our opponents have done their worst, and
cast their bottom vote. We do not believe
there was one Of their party il this city
who did not vote. Thanks 10 stringent,
wat chfulness at the polls. and the existence
Of the registery sys,em. there was probably
little fraudulent voting. The only mschin.
cry used against Republicans was one which
was only too effectusI-.iriug them out s'
tho polls. The very safeguard for the pur.
i,y OF elections made the polling tedious bs.
yond al preceden. In one of tho wards
less than seventy votes we're cast per hour
for the first four hours.
This 10 . fair ana square acknov ledge.
me mt that the Republicans we're beaten bs.
cause they fell short on the vote. and refu,es
the silly charge that the Democracy achiev.
ed their triumph BY fraud. All hail to the
galIan. Democracy Of Chicago for their glo.
sous victosy. II tisadditional evidence that
the revolution 10 moving fowsrd which will
hurl from power the destsuetionists and con.
