RADIcALIsM ROUTED THUNDER ALL,
ROUND THE SKY.-O Oregon, Ohio, Balti-
more. That loag-defsrred tidal-wave, that
sweeping ground-swell is coming. Ten
thousand Democratic majority in Balti-
more Garry the news to Creswell.
The american Of Thursday thus sums up
theresult The Municipal election yester-
day resulted, as was anticipated, in the
recollection Of Mayor Vansant by an in
creased majority, and tho success of the
entire Democratic Council ticket, with the
exception Of the Councilman from the
First ward, the Reform nominee there
being elected, though the ward gave a
Democratic majority for Mayor. The total
vote east was 81, 40s, ofwhich Mr.. Vansant
received %, 751, and Mr.. Carson 1861.
As compared with the municipal election
ID 1871, Mr.. Vansant received an increased
vote Of 1884, aud an increased majority
Of 2,e40 Mr.. Carson receives ], z 4 more
votes than were given for Mr.. Dunlap, the
Reform candidate at that election, but is
beaten BY larger proportionate majority.
At the Presidential election last year the
total vote Of the city was A, 213, as against
35,408 yesterday. The total vote at the
Governors election in 1871 was 81 ,636, as

Governor White received %, S74, a surplus
Of l23 votes over the number polled yes
terday for Mr.. Vansant.
The Gazetis says We have foughtthe
enemy and beaten him so signally, that
for many year hereafter, if he fight at
all, he mnst be content to fight losing
battle We have shown what the Demo
crats Of this city can do when they close
up their ranks, and, animated BY their
ancient spirit, work theoretically. The
Republicans, who fought under cover du-
ring the whole eanvass--not daring to
come out into the open under their own
leaders, are now-fguratiyely, at least
sitting sorrowfally by the waters Of Salt
River, twanging to disconsolate airs their
harps Of thousand strings sob, carry
the news to Creswell,r is the melancholy
burden Of their song. They resorted to
all kinds of devices. They disguised
themselves as Reformers they spouted
Temperance speeches; they kept the negro
in the background; they manipulated the
ward nominations; they brought the infu-
enee Of the Custom House and the Post
Office, backed by the powcs Of the Federal
Government, to bear upon reluctant voters
Of their own party; they cajoled or bought
others; distributed thousands Of spurious
tickets with Democratic headings and a
mixture Of Republican and Democratic
names, and yet, in spite Of all their tricks
and articles, their coquetting with dissen-
tients, and their bullying OF weakened
brethren, they have been beaten by ma
iority offs, 958. And now, on the morn
ing after their signal triumph, the Demo-
Gratis and Conservatives Of Baltimore send
greeting 10 their friends in the counties.
They have shown them the way to victory.
They exhort them, for the sake Of the
party and the good Of the State they love
so well, to put aside all trivial grievances,
and BY energetic work now, and unity of
effort at the November election, prove to
our sister States that, though lying in the
cold shadow of Washington, Maryland is
Democratic to the core, and intends to
remain go. s ss. LA rs
