On the Sth inst, elections were

The result will assure democratic

These elections were held in Ohio,
Indiana, Iowa and West Virginia.
These four States have forty five
representatives in the present
house. In the present congress
Ohio has twelve republicans and
eight democrats, Indiana has nine
republicans and four democrats,
Iowa has nine republicans. and
West Virginia three democrats.

ed the last hope OF the republicans
to reverse the democratic control
of the next congress. With a net
loss of four aud probably six mem
bers in Ohio and Indiana, added to
the loss OF one in Oregon, one in

Zach Chandler has been too sick to

the national party will have only a
butterfly existence. A year of sue.

the cold, cold ground.

are having a good deal to say about
the democracy being swallowed up
by the greenbackers; but they would
be willing TO provide the dressing
it they could be swallowed up in
the same way.

In your last edition we noticed

to see that "VoXn has entered

confess, as mere looker-on, that
we cannot see why "Vox" should
be so angry. As we see it, Mr.. Ed

or utter "Liberty's" article was

mark you we'll, Mr.. "Vox," Glib

As proof that he must be right,
the honorable members of your So
cieJy have recOnsidered the dispo-
sal Of their funds, and in answer
to Ocean Springs call for help have
aided her with loving and gener-
Gus hands.
Now, not intending one word of
disparagement to the residents of
your little to rn, for there are many
dear to the writer there, we would
say "Liberty" was right. If the
funds were raised with the impress
sion and understanding that they
were to be nsed for the benefit of

charity God will bless them.
