The Conservative. (M'connelsville, Ohio) 1866-1871, 1870-10-14
THE ELECTIONS.

News throughout the State, at this
writing, Thursday morning, is very
meagre, but sufficien to indicate q com
plete victory for the Radicals. The
following, clipped from the Cincinnati
Ga-ete, of Wednesday morning, the
leading Radical paper Of Ohio, gives the
result from a Republican standpoint;
We have done well in Ohio. A year
ago we carried the State by q majority OF
but little over seven thousand. At the
hour we write-2 A. Nit looks ss il
the STATE was ours this year by q majority
OF fifteen thousand. Republicans every
whore ought TO be, will be, satisfied with
this result. Considering the fact that it is
tie of year, remembering that the cam
paign has been characterized by more apa>
thy and dullues- than is usual even in The
of year, Republicans may well rejoice over
their success. Ohio is still true to the
principles she stood by during The war.
and is as prepared to defend them now as
then. She gives her emphatic and power
full Endorsement 10 the administration OF
General Grant, and rebukos with a stern
ness none can fail to understand the plot
tings of the reyolutiO1ists who would re-
open all tie issues the war had settled.
Well done for tie old Commonwealth J
The result in TIE city is. in the highest
degree, gratifying. First of all, the First
District has been redeemed. Two years
ago thu Democrats carried it by a majOri>
ty Of Oil. Yesterday it uiDed to its old
faith. sending Mr.. Perry to represent it in
the mex Congress By q majority OF 6S2.-
The Second District hns done better than
the mos: sanguine Republican expected
Mr.. Stevenson will return to Congress
backed by a majority of over l 500 against
a majority OF less than 500 two years ago.
The whole Republican county ard Sta'e
ticket is also elected, the majorities rang
ing from that of Leininger, the candidate
for Auditor, to $50 for AR. Ampr, the
candidate for Prosecuting Attorney. Ii
las been a clean sweep. The Democrats
have not & single crumb OF comfort. A
more overwhelming defeat they have nuI
met with in years.
The result ir several Of the Cpneression>
al Districts is still in doubt. We have
carried the First. Second, Sixth, Seventh
Eighth, E.eTentb, Fourteenth. Seventeenth
Eighteentb and Nineteenth Distiic,s-in
all eleven. Tie Fourth, Ninth and Six
teeuth Districts are in doubt, with the chan
c-s in favor of the Republicans. The
Third District is badly mixed up. and it is
impossible to say whether Sebenck or
Campbell has the best of the race. The
Democrats have carried the Fifth and
Thirteenth. Iu the last Congress the Ohio
delegation stood Republicans, l3 Dem
ocrsts,6. In the next Congress the Re-
publicans have certainly IL, and probably
"a, with 8 bare chance OF Is. No signs OF
q reaction here. /
From Indiana the returns are very mea-
ger. We have probably carried the STATE
by d small majority. A dispatch from IN
diauapOlis says the political complexion OF
the next Congressional delegation is UNI
changed. |.
Pennsylvania, a dispatch from Philadel-
phia ssys, sends to Congress q delegation
divided about the same politically as the
present one-tha: is Is Republicans to 9 /,
Democrats,
Iowa, Of course, is all right. 1t is very :
doubtful if she could be anything e!se if she
tried. Her FIVE Congressman are all Re-
pubhcans.
F1om Nebraska we have no news. !
Summing up the general result in the ,
four States from which We have returns, 6
find that the Republicans have held
;beir own. We can not but regard this a. s
q great triumph, for the party went into !
The campaign expecting TO lose q Number 9
Of Congressman. They have lost nothing, ,
and the Democrats, who stsked everything :
IN these elections, have gained nothing 9
Now let the States that hold their elections 5
IN November DO as we'll as this, and Re- {
publicans can ask 20 more. {
Later Information, by telegraph, con-
cedes to the Democracy the election of
Campbell over Schenck in the Third 5
District. =
