The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1874-11-11

Igress, but was disgraced by three
iRaaicals in the present Congress.
Her Democracy have made a. ten
|strike and full Democratic delega-
ttion is the score. There Democratic
victories are so many, general and
1scattering that we next stumble on
to little
zss,s DELAWARE.
Here we have our Bayard, whose
family escutcheon is emblazoned with
Democracy, but whose State had the
infection of one Member of Congress
of the two to which she was entitled,
but Democracy has kicked that con-
ceit to Kingdom come and a pure,
unsullied Democracy of two fills the
bill for the next Congress! We now
in the grand Democratic shower, for
q moment get out Of the wet, and
tpapse on the confines Of sold glory"
1which never tires, old
VIRGINIA,
and record that she. too joins in the
jubilee and gains for the nation four
Democratic Members of Congress,
leaving only one Radical on hand.
Whilst reverently blessing the 'smoth-
fer of States" for her share of the
feontribution, we.hurriedly pass to the
"old bloody ground
il t.i KENTUCKY, Il:
and simply place her wreath of De-
mocracy firmly on her brow-a clean
Democratic Delegation in Congress
no radicalism in hers! And now
comes the State, whose Carpenteris
desperately bad off,
WISCONSIN.
Here too the electric shock of the
"old corpse" has been wildly felt
and gain ofone Member Of Congress
is her share of the contribution to the
Democrat basket, which next we hand
around to
r.., ..,s ALABAMA, y'
manacled, ironclad Alabama. Here,
though like Louisiana she was pois-
oned by Bayonets and U. S. Marshals,
her unterrifed, unsubdued Democra-
cy never faltered, but only struck the
blow the harder and dashed her chains
clean back into Mrs. Williams lap!
The election of her State ticket by
10000 majority, a Democratic Legis-
lature and six out Of eight Members
of Congress, where she only had three
before; these are her pious and Dem
ocraticregards to Grant, thus encum-
bering with Democratic weight the
basket as it is passed around to the
Sucker State, a sr
ILLINOIS.
This State has in the present Con-
gross IA Radicals and 5 Democrats.
She too has come back on the old
track and few hard. Democratic
kicks gives her and our cause a gain
of five Members of Congress. And
our poor, lacerated, robbed, Empower
ished, once bright jewel among the
Southern galaxy,
SOUTH CAROLINA,
she too has made giant efforts and
has succeeded somewhat with a gain
of two Members of Congress, which
is at once answered by dear little
FLORIDA Z. -
in the gain and election of one Mem
Der of Congress, which certainly is
her share, her Democratic mite, as
she reaches over the heavy basket to
NEW JERSEY, a.
who completely upsets and turns it
over with Democratic gems, whose
diamond gatherings glare blind the
swollen eyes Of Radicalism! A Dem
ocratic Governor by $4,000 majority,
a sound Democratic Legislature, and,
the Congressional Delegation stands
four Democrats to three Rad icals; in
Che present Congress it stands one
Democrat, six Radicals. How is that
for high, Democratic high, as wei
salute 81 "
.jat. to.l MISSOURI Do
This grand, glorious and giant
State Stat Of the Southwest has too made
new shuttle, a clean deal, and sends
l5- Democrats to Congress, instead
as before only four. to nine Radicals;
a perfect upsetting Of the tables--wet
have the Legislature and carry the
State byIover 10000 majority, all of
which is reverberaicd in true anti
radical style by little
NEVADA, s.s7-ss..
which joins in the glorious galaxy Of
reaemptienists!Sf. She;hass thrown off
the incubus of the infamy and is now
