The elections last Tuesday have result
ed even better than the democrats expect
ed, and instead Of losing ground, the de-
mocracy Of the four states have gained
twelve and perhaps thirteen congressman.
In Ohio, the republican managers flooded
the state with money, thousands Of dol
lars being sent there by Gorhap, the
chairman of the republican campaign com
mittee. Besides this, every national bank
in the state was assessed by the radicals
and tersely invited to chip in to help along
the party Of moral ideas. In Indiana
bitter fight was made all along the line,
money being squandered by the republi-
cans by the hogshead, but to no purpose,
the people voted to sustain democracy and
did it handsomely too.
In West Virginia the democrats remain
steadfast, and although a strong effort was
made by the republicans, the democracy
made clean sweep.
Even in Iowa, where the republicans
generally haYs 10000 majority, their ma
iority, if any, will not exceed 5000, and the
latest dispatches state that Judge
Campbell, chairman of the democratic
state committee claims the state for the
democrats by small majority. The
democrats also elect two and perhaps
three congressman.
The democrats have gained four con
gressmen in Ohio, with one district il
doubt which may make Eve. In Indiana
the democrats carry the legislature with Q
clear majority of six on joint ballot, which
re-elects Voorhees, to the senate. Besides
the democrats gain two and perhaps thre'
congressman.
The nationals show heavy decrease il
their vote, losing thousands in Ohio AMI
Indiana, even in Toledo, the city that CAV
the party birth, the vote falls far short Q
their expectation. The democracy hav
good reason to feel encourage
at the result of the election
Just held and it should stimulate ever
democrat to work hard tor the stralgh
ticket. One thing has been conclusivel
proven, that natioDalism is only tail I
the republican kite. the republicans in tb
new party, invariably deserving il on election
day. leaving the democrats in it to vot
deludedly and help elect republicans. LIE
every democrat go to work at once for thu
ticket; see that every vote is polled oil
election day and vote straight. DO this
and the success of democracy in IllinOi
in November is an assured fact. Bot
houses of the next congress are now as
suredly democratic, and the next presiden
will be democrat, and he will b. seate,
too. 1t will not be safe to try fraud again
