POLITICAL NOTES.


majority in Iowa about 40, 900.
F Hon. d. W. Voorhees, looms up as a can.
didate for United States Senator from Indi.
ana
The Springfield Union is convinced that
} prohibition beat the Republicans in Massa-
chusetts, and third term did the business in
New York
The Pennsylvania Senate will stand %
Republicans to twenty-five Democrats but
the House will have ten to twelve Demo-
cratic majority, making the Legislature
Democratic on joint ballot.
Minnesota elects all three Republicans to
Congress, instead of two Republicans and
one Democrat, as heretofore reported.
The latest advices give the Florida Leg
lslature to the Democrats. The RepubG-
cans elected both Members Of Congress.
The Tennessee Legislature stands: Sem
ate twenty-three Democrats and two Re-
publicans, with seven Republicans in the
Lower House.
Massachusetts has not elected a Demo-
cratic Governor before since 1889. 1t that
year it elected Marcus Morton. Democrat
over Edward Everett, Whig by two ma
jority.
The prohibitory Liquor law, in the opin-
ion OF the Detroit Tribune, is doomed in
Michigan.
The Illinois Legislature will stand as fol-
lows: House-66 Republicans, 65 Demo
Gratis, % Independents Senate-24 Re
puDlIcans, 70 Democrats, 4 Independents.
The Democratic majority in Alabama is
not less than 12,000
The fact that Andy johnson has been
elected to the Z. S. Senate from Tennessee
is sufficient to show the extreme demorali |
zation OF political affairs in that State.
This is the Minority Report of the Brain
erd (Minn.) Tribune
In general way, things seem to have |
busted. That is, the States that held elec-
tions on Tuesday have gone differently.
Massachusetts has gone Democratic.
New York has gone to the devil by the
same route.
Ben. Butler has gone Democratic
And some twenty other States also cot
the tremens, and resulted DemocraticallV to
fs tf5ttlseotIs extent.
We could stand some reverses politically
say, lose three or four States q day-and
keep our feet
But the returns from Tuesdays business
have completely inverted us.
This is the iiJst minority report " that
we have been called upon to write for many
years, and we do it very awkwardly.
The practice, that we shall probably have
III the future, however: will enable us TO do
it better after awhile
We should name all the States that went
Democratic on Tuesday, only we have not
room, unless we should issue a supplement: ,
and that would entail too much expense for
q one-horse Republican paper to stand-un-
der the circumstances.
ANY one asking us on the streetif we have |
heafd from the election, runs great risk of
retiring from this vale Of tears; men having
arge lamllles to support, unless they have
! policy in good company, should not take ]
5he chances. /
We are not to blame for The way it turn
ed out ,
Neither is the Republican party proper +
10 blame.
It's GFant-him an Fred and Mrs. Sore }
lis hold. He commenced by in9trry 1r1gg 1nro
! monarchy, and then wanteda third term,
md that is what was the matter with Han l
nah, on Tuesday.
We have dozen Democratic papers ly- !,
ng before us; they are completely plastered l
WIN iooStefs, IidSS, eagles, pl5 ueda uHeS,
lugags and whangdoodles. 1t is specta-
lie truly awful to behold-that is for a Re- |
publican editor to gaze at. G
If ever we did do any such o thing, we {
should go right out and take an awful big /
walk, for our health, and see if it would {
lot ''drown our sorroW," but Us we never c
' walk we decline. :
Correspondents writing to this paper in t
he future are are requested to confne a
themselves strictly to agriculture : don't S
wen mention poultry; because that seems q
o be mixed up with politics, judging from s
he illustrations before US. /
Next week we shall try to make room for i
! condensed list OF the States that went
Democratic last Tuesday, and also brief !
statement relative to the health Of the :
9rant family.
