THE REsuLr-0UR TRIUMPH.

In Inc e2nTa-s luSl ClO-eu tne IOMHcTttd
directed the whole force OF its opposition
against this re election OF Col. W. A. Phil
lips. 1t announced in the beginning that
it could not approve Of his public career,
and promised TO employ all honorable means
within its power TO defeat Lim.-Ccm,ae,'-
cial.
A large amount OF blowing is Oft times
done upon very small capital. Let us Tor
. moment look at the comparative strength
OF O-born, Cusey, Philips and Parrot, found
In the election returns. at the home Of Osborn
and Parrott.
The average majorities on the opposition
ticket for State officers, except Governor and
Auditor, are about 2o0. The opposition ma
jorities for county officials range from 81 to
l,s62-averaging 500 opposition majority.
Osborn, Republican,, for Governor, at
his home, receives 1873 majority over
Cusey, or 1929 ahead of his ticket.
Parrot, opposition candidate for Congress,
at his home receives s73 majority over
Phillips, or only 1878 more than the average
majority on his tioket
This is fair, plain statement, from the
Official returns Of the vote in the county of
Leavenxo1th.
Osborn runs atead Of Parrott $50 votes
in this county.
Considering the fact that every man
opposed to the appointment of d. K. An
thony q, Postmaster; that every temperance
man-two hundred in number, who voted
for Grcen-that every man who allowed his
preiudices in favor of "Leavenworth man"
to govern his vote: that every man who sym
pathized with the Great and Good Deacon
Houston; that every man who was prejudiced
by the Commercial against Phillips, whom that
shee. could influence, voted for either Par
rott or Green; that, with all the above
above influences combined, Parrott ran only
1873 votes ahead Of his ticket, while Osborn
runs 2, 20 ahead. We submit that there is no
room Tor any grea. amount Of rejoicing. II
the Good Deacon can find any satisfaction
In these election returns, he would enjoy a
dinner of husks
The well known disposition Of our people
to vote ior home man would, under ordi-
nary circumstances, have given PARROT ] 500
or 1900 majority, but his well known bad
habits; his chronic disease Of laziness; his
known association with only the aristocratic
portion OF our people, and his entire lack OF
q rpathy with the hard-working, industrial
classes were not calculated to create en-
Shusiasm in his favor Yet hundreds in thi
county voted for him solely for the reason
tia. he a,ived in Learenrorta."
This disposition to vote for home man
is no; confined TO Leavenworth. In Doug
las county, Watson (opposition) received
. majority OF 2,l62 over Lappin (Republi-
cam, gain over his party vote Of :, 100.
We note with pleasure the fact that To-
paka gives Brown Republican, 500 ma
jority over Hudson (opposition), who re-
a les in ropeka-an example well worthy
of imitation-that We should vote upon
principle, and not for local preferences.
In order to show the power of "the Thole
jorcs Of It's THE Commercials opposition We
call attention to the vote of few of the
counties outside Of Leavenworth.
In Osborne county, Osborn has $50 ma
jority; Phillips z6S. Riley county gives
Osborn "A majority; Phillips, AS. In
Russell county Ph Hips runs ahead OF the
ticket. In Clay county Osborn has $40 ma
joritv; Phillips, 900. In Davis county os-
born has ESQ majority; Phillips, 800. In
Dickiuson county, Osborn has 442; Phil
lips SO. With the exception of two or
three counties, Phillips runs ahead of his
ticket in every county in the district.
Again, the falling of from the Republican
najorities Of two years ago, is not as great
a Phillips IS it is on all the rest Of the Re
publican candidates.
The results Of the election, therefore, show
clearly that the "rAols Jorcs" of the CONNER
Gals effort to @defsaf' Phillips only tended
10 increase his vote. Surely, if the Com
~seiai is grati6ed At the result The TINES
nsst he and will most devoutly join with
the Good Deacon in singing "Glory, glory
hallelujah,' for the glorious vic DRY achieved
on the Sd of the present mouth in the FRS.
