The election Of "a Democratic Rep
resentative in this Congressional
District, where a Democratic Repre-
sentative has not been elected for
twenty-two years, has made the
Democrats almost delirious with de-
light; and when they see their vic
tory here accompanied with victories
in Ohio and Indiana, they gorge
their souls with the most glowing
anticipations, even predicting a Dem
ocratic majority in the next House
of Representatives. The Chicago
Inter- Ocean publishes n tabular
statement Of the members of the
next House already elected, conpar-
ed with the members elected two
years ago, and an estimate of the re-
suit in States yet to hold their cleo
tons, compared with the members
elected two years ago-making the
estimate as liberal to the Democracy
as any probable contingency will
warrant. Arkansas is yielded entire
ly to the Democracy, as the ex-rebels
have full sway there. In Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana, the Dis
trict in which the While Lcagucrs
are engaged by assassination and
other violence in intimidating Re
publicans SO as to keep them from the
polls, are yielded to the Democracy.
And in the other States, wherever
the Republican majority of the pres
ent incumbent is small and at NIL
likely to be overcome, it is given to
the Democracy. 1t is quite Ms posi-
BILE that some Of the States will i,ni-
tate the example of Iowa, Nebraska
and Kansas, which have largely IN
creased their Republican majorities,
as that all vii follow in the wake OF
Ohio and Indiana; but Of this proba-
biiity no account is taken. So there
is no probability, and scarcely pos
sibility, that the result will be more
unfavorable to the Republicans than
is shown by the following:

turns from 80 counties, which give
Young, for Secretary of State, "a, 1886
majority, a gain of 1000 over Car
penter's vote last year. The remain
ing counties gave Carpenter $500
majority, and probably will swell
Young's majority to full 10000
Sherman, for Auditor, expected te
have at least 1900 more. Only II
counties thus far furnish Anti Monol
majorities, and the aggregate of these
is less than 5000.

Of his labors in the late campaign.
Marion County the home of the
'Swamp-landcr, which has been Dem
ocratic for 10, these many years, gave
last week a majority of 200 for the
Republican State Ticket, and 800 for
Sampson, Republican Candidate for
Congress. This is Republican
gain of 700 since last wear,

The Conservative speaking of the
election of a Democratic Congress-

accomplished 'by the the united eff

would not be quite polite for our
neighbor TO tell what few of these
people were oyer-burdened with.

Weart's Joke On Hoberling and Its
Sequel

Our readers will remember the
correspondence which took place be-
tween Mr.. Hebcrling and Mr.. Weart
chairmen, respectively of the Repub'
lican and Anti-Monoply State Cen
trail Committees; over an obscure
postmaster somewhere, who, refusing
to contribute the sum of $1.lO to de-
fray the expenses of the campaign,
on invitation of the Republican
Committee, was by Chairman Heb
elling turned over to Mr.. Weart, as
new Anti-Monopoly recruit, with a
request that the latter give a receipt
for him. This gave Weart q chance
to do little political blowing, which
he embraced. He published Heber-
ling's note and his own reply in
which he assumed that perfect
stampede of Republicans was setting
toward the Autobiography ranks,
and gave this rs his reason for de-
declining to receipt for Republican
recruits, closing with the remark
tina this "time was too fully occupied
to assume the additional burden OF
receipting for all the recruits to the
Autobiography army:"
This was pretty sharp, and our
Autobiography friends boosted with
some reason that the joke was
on Heberling. But the increase of
10000 to $4,000 i'll the Republi-
can majority in the State, gave Heb
erlins the chance to get even, SO, on
Thursday of last week, he sent Mr.
Weart the following telegram,
which efiicually pays off the score:
The compliments of these headquarters
to ]. NJ. Weart, enquiring after his health
and hoping that Mr.. w. will soon recover
from his exhaustion occasiOned by receiv-
ing new recruits.
We arc happy to announce that
our friend Weart is recuperating
rapidly.

JAIL REPORT. ..
To the Honorable Board Of Supsr0isors

10 TIE Honorable Board OF SuperOtS0rs:
We, the Committee to whom was rs.
signed the duty of repairing the Jail. beg
leave to submit the following report
One or more of us visited Waterloo,
Elkader and Dubuque to examine the Jail
at each of said places so as to be able to
decide ON the best plan to make our Jail
secure; and after said examination we
adopted plan of our own, as follows:
to put down an iron floor inch thick,
composed of sheets Aka feet and securely
riveted together so as to make the whole
floor nearly equal to one entire sheet.
We have also put in an iron door frame
in each doorway, completely encasing the
JOINTS and firmly riveted together so as to
make one entire and complete frame in
each doorway, The doors are made of 3
plates, each 4-inch thick, securely riveted
together, and secured by two locks on
each door. The old crate doors were
also repaired and fitted into the frames so
that we now have two iron doors in each
doorway. We have also made the win
dows additionally secure by putting in
additional CRATES, made of 14-inch rods.
We ale now confident that the Jail is now
80 strong and complete that, if reasonable
diligence is practised on the part of the
officer in charge, no more prisoners will
escape. The total expense of said repairs
is 81 ,S95.12 Bills of items of the whole
expense are on file in the Auditors Office
All of which is respectfully submitted.
