two with jubilant head lines. From every
quarter where an election was held on Tues
day the same story is borne on the wires
defeat, overwhelming defeat grccts the dis
mayed aud disordcrcd hosts of radical repub
Ilicansm, and the Opposition are jubuant,
In undertaking, however, to give the de
tails of this overwhelming and glorious vic
tory, we find ourselves somewhat IN the posi-
ton of Othello Bloss, of the Cincinnati En-
quirer. For the twelve preceding years Bloss
had at each recurring election, been obliged to
figure democratic victory out of palpable
defeat. When however, victory finally did
come last October, and the exhilerated dem
ocracy gathered around him and insisted that
he should put up his gayest roosters and
give BIZ splurgc, Bloss was found in tears.
Me friends" said he, $50 the Washington

effect For twelve years-twelve long
years, Alphonso-have | calculated victory
out of defeat And now comes victory, over
whelming victory; and oh. ms friend, the
figures remain the same That id non.

and me own reasoning 10 show that it should
have been Republican triumph
Elections were held in a large number of
States on Tuesday, and We can undertake to
give the result in brief and very general terms
only in each.
Beginning at home, the entire opposition
ticket was elecled in La Sale county except
he candidate for Sheriff, Mcintyre the re.
publican candidate, is the only one that es-
,aped the general smash. The dissatisfaction
which was manifested in certain quarters
Don after the nomination Of Mr. Plumb by
he opposition seemed to assure Corbus, the
cpubican nominee for state senator, an easy
rumph; but the friends of Plumb were ac-
I'VE, and having the "tidal wave" in their
avor, succeeded.
Hoffman and Armstrong, our candidates
for representatives, went through with flying
'olors.
In this congressional district, the election
# Campbell over Corwin is one Of the most
achievements Of tins remarkable
lection. Campbell's majority is not less than
600, IN district always reliably republican
eretofore:: by 1000. The result is not an en-.
orsement to that extent Of Campbells paper
money notions. II Is little else than an EN-
hatic expression of disgust at the increasing
of the republican party.
While Cook county gives an opposition ma.
GRITTY and sends Is opposition out of %
lembers TO the Legislature, Caulfield is the
My democrat that is certainly elected to !
ongress,--the result as to Lc Moync and
harrison still being in doubt.
In the entire state, Ettcr, for superintendent
i schools, who was voted for by both wings
# the opposition, is elected by some 10000,
ho"ing the opposition to be largely in the {
majority in the state. The senate is supposed
o stand % republicans, 30 democrats, and 3 ,,
The house will probably stand ,
Z republicans, CT democrats and % indepcn. |
