November Elections T!
Republican Victory
EvERYwHERE
Republicans Carry New York by
10000 Majority.
The End Of Tammany Rule,
New Jersey, Illinois, wisconsiB,
Wichigan, Minnesota, Missis-.
sippi, Arkansas, and kan-
sas All Go Republican.
EVER YwHERE !

The October elections were attended
with the most gratifying results to the
Republicans, yet we had reason in ad-
vance to believe that the party that was
sailing under false colors would be
doomed at the polls. In this we were
not mistaken. Under tho guise Of q
new psrty'ruls the Democracy hoped to
gain tic ascendency in several States,
but the new departure vehicle was SO
ovor-burdened with Democratic odium
the hydra-head of the Democratic
monster Of old was 80 plainly visible
that no one was deceived by IL. II went
by the boards at one full swoop.
The November elections haye resulted
In Republican victories evsryw here.
Even New York, the homc Of the Tam.
many sachems, the chiefs OF the national
Democratic party, has gone Republican
this year by nearly forty thousand ma
Jority. The State Legislature is Repub-
lican by nearly two-thirds majority.
This grand result is OF itself enough
glory for one day, but the end is not yet.
Reliable Massachusetts rolls up q ma
jority Of $4,000 for Mr.. Washburn over
j. Q. Adams and the Legislature is
largely Republican.
The Republicans Of Wisconsin have
increased their majority this year be-
tween three aud four thousand. WASH
burn 10 elected Governor over Doolittle
and the Legislature IL Republican in
both branches.
Michigan is largely Republican, as
usual.
And the same can bo said OF Minneso-
to- The Republicans have increased
their msjorities in both States.
Mississippi sends greeting to her sis
ter Republican States, aud announces
an increased Republican majority. That
State can be set down a. on q sure Re-
publican foundation IN future.
The New Jersey Legislature is Re-
publican on joint Ballot, thus insuring
the election of Republican United
States Senator.
Gen. Beyeridge, the Republican eau
didate for Congressman at -lsrge in Iii.
noi'' is elected by nssyylly $4,000 major

Tho Virginia Legislature is conserva
tive.
In Arkansas the Republicans sweep
the field.
In Kansas, of course, the Legislature
lie largely Republican.
The Republican party in Maryland
has been gaining ground steadily but
surely. While the Democrats have
elected their State ticket the Republi-
cans haye made heavy gains in the State
Legislature.
All in all, the IA campaign has been
one OF continued Republican success.
Republicans in common everywher
have great reason to rejoice. The Oc-
tober and November elections are an in
dsx to the campaign OF 1872. Success
has been oLrs everywhere this year,
aud the Republican banners will be car
risd triunphantly through the coming
Presidential campaign.

THE RESULT IN ATCHISON
COUNTY.

The election for County Justice In our
county on the 7th, resulted in the elec-
tion OF Adolph Bertram, by q majority
OF ii votes over George Steck, the Re.
publican candidate.
We have met the enemy aud they are
not ours neither are we theirs. While
We very much regret the defeat Of CAPT
Steck, We do not admit that the elsction

thought to capture in large numbers,
spurned their propositions with con.

All haili to the Germans Of Atchison

to the great principles OF the Republican
karty, and cannot be induced 10 leays

those principles, no matter under what
garb, or political cover they place them
selves. They want no temporary affilia-
tions with Democracy, como Ia what
iorms II may, or from what source, as
they only tend TO the permanent defeat
OF the party Of their choice.
Several reasons can be given for the
defeat Of Capt. Stsck. We had a very
rainy, diaagr6eable day, that kept a
great many Republican voters at home,
but the principal reason for II was over
confidence In the strength of the party.
Many good Republicans cOnsOled them.
selves with the belief that their single
vote was not needed TO achieve victory,
and thus they permitted the election TO
go against us. Ths very small majority
got by Mr.. Bsrtram should impress
every Republican with the necessity of
greater vigilance In the future.
In entering upon his Judicial career,
we extend to Judge Bertram our best
wishes, and hopo he will devote his la
bors to building up the material inter
ests OF our county, and will in so doing
receive tho hearty cooperation of the
Republican party Of the county.
To the Republican party, we urge
harmony, thorough organization, and a
determination In the future 10 continue
Atchison on the roll of Republican
counties. Our interests demand that II

Our arrnor is gir,iled on for the great

now occupy. '" '

though many Of his Tammany collea.
CUES on the ticket suffered defeat. A
reporter Of tho N. Y. Sun, who was
present at political ward meeting the
Saturday preceding the election where
Tweed made a speech In which he spoke
Of his "experieheo" in public matters as
one reason for reelection. He said
"At the South, In anie-war times, II A
representative proved capable. they re-
tainsd him, and secured tho advantages
OF his Increase Of experience, as for in
stance the case Of Clay, and more es-
pecially that Of Benton"
Clay went for the United States Bank;
Benton went for hard money but Tweed
has gone for everything that no could

Carriages and nuseies.

Memphis is rapidly acquiring a repu-
tation for the manufacture Of the best
quality Of carriages, buggies and light
wagons. The time was when you had TO
send your orders TO New York, Phila-
delphia and Cincinnati for these things,
but now Memphis can successfully COM
pete with all Of them in fine work and
elegant vehicles, The largest manufac-
tory Of carriages and buggies in the city
is that Of s ss g US .-tl
Ut W. 8. BRUCE co., n
Nos. 81 and 80 Monroe street, between
Main and Second. This mammoth es-
Enlistment contains a large stock Of
the best and finest buggies, carriages
and light fancy wagons. The house Of
Bruce a Co. is six storiesin hight, and the
different branches Of carriage building
are carried on throughout the establish
ment. A large stock Of beautiful car
riages, buggies and light spring-wagons
are found on the ground floor In the
manufacture of these elegant vehicles,
the celebrated Sarvin patent wheel-a
Tennessee invention : is exclusively
used. This wheel has superseded all
others throughout the United States. It
contains eighteen spokes instead of
twelve and fourteen as used in the old
styles, and is remarkable for hghtness
and strength. Bruce q Co. have an i'm
mense stock Of carriage and buggy ma
terials, embracing everything that can
be used in their manufacture. Their
stock Of hardware is most complete and
extensive, containing materials Of every
description known to the carriage
building business. A complete assert
ment of varnishes, for retail business, is
constantly kept for sale. These var
nishes are of the purest and best quail
ity and warranted In the rear Of the
store, on the ground floor, is the iron
room, containing all kinds of iron Of
every length and shape, used in the
manufacture of carriages, buggies and
wagons. A hurried trip through the
establishment last evening warrants us
in saying that the house Of Bruce 4 Co.
has on hand a valuable and splendid
stock, and no Eastern work can excel
in beauty of finish, strength, or in ma
terial used, the vehicles built at this
establishment.
