publican National ComB.ittee.

DuOttcuH AUttOHut C0IlnlluCe.
In few brief paragraphs, ex-Sena-
tor Stephen W. Dorsey, Secretary OF
the Republican National Committee,
on behalf of that body, sums up in the
following address the results of the
glorious victory won on November 3
/ Disregarding or making light on the
whimperngs of the Democrats. the
address promised that Garfield and
Arthur, with 2l3 Electoral votes, and
a popular majority in the Northern
States OF $40, ,000 will be inaugurated
on March 4, 1881. Resting upon the
emphatic majority by which the Re-
publicans elected their candidates, the
committee feel justified in making the
announcement which will be issued to-
day and is given here:
The Republican National Commit
tee presents to the country resume of
the sweeping victory won by our par
ty on Tuesday, November 2, which
has been SO cheerfuly accepted by all
thoughtful and patriotic men, and by
the great business and commercial in
terests of the nation
Garfield aud Arthur have received
2l3 electoral votes, and will be inaug-
urated President and Vice President
March 4, 1881.
The actual result in New jersey,
California and Nevada is so close that
| it cannot be ascertaiacd uatil the Off
cial count is made, but we have reason
to believe that at least one, and per-
haps two, of these States have given
their electoral vote to our candidates.
The popular majority for Garfield
and Arthur will not fall short of $40,
900 in the Northern States.
The majority of General Hanck in
the Northern States will hardly reach
800.
If the Republicans of the South had
been permitted to vote as they wished,
and have their votes counted as they
were cast, T" at least six of these States
would have recorded majorities rang
ing from 5000 to 10000 for our tick
ct.
The majorities therefore, claimed by
our adversaries in most of the South
ern States we regard unworthy of con-
sideration We have carried the Leg
islature Of every Northern State except
Nevada, where a straightout Demo-
crat will be elected to succeed Mr..
Sharon.
After the 4th of March next the
United States Senate will stand 81
Republicans, 81 Democrats and 2 In
dependents.
Two Southern States given to the
Democrats in the above estimate are
yet to elect Senators, and it is not
unlikely that we shall secure one Of
them.
In the lower house Of Congress we
have not less than II majority.
No officer of the present Congress
can reduce or imperi this majority ex-
cept by a revolutionary act. Garfield
and Arthur have been elected by un-
paralleled popular majorities in that
portion Of the country where tke right
of every citizen is recognized TO vote
as he pleased and have his vote honest
" counted.
This result of the intelligent and free
North is a chaste and loud answer to
the indecent manner in which our adj
versaries have waged the whole of the
campaign.
Republicans may be assured that no
af,erthought of two or three mortified
/ and desperate leaders oil the minority,
writhing under party censure, will be
allowed to tri1e with this mighty ver-
diet or prevent the organization of the
Government on the appointed day by
the resolute men chosen to admin
lister it. 5. w. Dorsey. Sec'y.
