The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1870-11-17

As q whole, the November elections
must be gratifying to the foes Of Radical
ISM They show the steady, onward
march Of the Conservatives to the pos
session of the government and the sure
and unfailing decline of the'power of the
Radicals. Even in
MASSACHUSETTS,
Which gave nearly one hundred thousand
majority for Grant, John Quincy Adams,
the Democratic candidate, runs close
upon the heels Of his Republican OppO-
nent In 80
NEW YORK,
the Empire State, the interference of the
Administration in the election has been
rebuked. Hoffman, the Democratic
candidate for Governor has been elected
by an immense majority and the Democ-
racy claim a gain of several members of
Congress.
The West is gradually breaking away
from her Republican moorings. The
Conservative gains have been large in
MICHIGAN.
In that State among the results, We
note that Democrat (Sutherland) has
been elected to Congress in the 9th Dis
trict which at the previous election went
Radical by {, 300 majority.
ILLINOIS,
shows large and substantial reduction of
the Radical majority. Several districts
have discarded their Republican Repre-
sentatives. Among the rest, is that of
the 9Th, which is reported to have elected
Robinson, Democrat, in the face of Re
publican majority of $500 at the previ-
Gus election. Farnsworth, a prominent
Republican, who received IA, 418 majority
in 1868, has been defeated by Temper
ance and Free Trade candidate, who was
supported by the Democrats.
NEVADA,
for the first time, since she became State,
has elected a Democratic Governor
LITTLE DELAWARE,
is the game chicken, she always was.
The large fifteenth amendment addition
to her voting population, did not shake
her in her Democratic foundations
Notwithstanding the addition of 80, 900
by the same amendment to the suffragans
in
MARYLAND,
she is nevertheless reported to have gone
straight through for the conservatives.
Her people rose gloriously with the emer-
gency.
OLD VIRGINIA,
holds her own calamity, and stands along
side of her daughter, West Virginia, in
the ant-Radical column.
KENTUCKY,
is worthy to be honored as the State OF
Henry Clay, and of John c. Breckin-
ridge. 1t is reported that the conserva-
tives have made clean sweep.
TENNESSEE
looms up grandly in the Democratic col
umn by the side of Kentucky. The
friends of Hickory and of Harry of the
West have at last joined hands in com
mon cause.
Good news from
ARKANSAS
Large gains over the Radicals by whom
her people have been outraged beyond
endurance The Conservatives have
carried majority of, and possibly, the
entire Congressional Delegation.
| ALABAMA.
Reports indicate that she too is re-
dee med and disenthralled. The Conser-
vatives have certainly made substantial
gains. 1t is believed that the Democratic
majority in the Lower Branch of her Lee
gislature is so great that the Democrats
will have majority on joint ballot, and
will therefore elect Democratic United
! States Senator. There was no election
for State Senators.
FLORIDA,
another of the reconstructed States
has probably escaped from the rule of
her Mongrel oppressors. If not entirely
out of the wilderness, she is in sight of
the promised land.
MISSOURI.
The news is all that could be desired.
Grant threw the whole weight of his Ad-
nlinistration against the Liberals and
Conservatives, but they have come out
more than conqueror. They have car
ried their State Ticket by $4,000 major
ity, and gained in the Congressional dele
