The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-11-15
Hurrah FOR 1854.
Tie Republican Party Must Go!

The elections held in the several
States on Tuesday of last week,
while not resulting in the over
whelming Democratic victories that
many Democrats hoped for but had
no reasons to expect, nevertheless
afford abundant reason for encour-
agement and congratulations to the
Democratic party at large. The
Democr is lost no States that they
had any reason for expecting to re-
tain. They have, in the face of
apathy, lack of interest, smallness of
vote and a variety of adverse circum-
stances, held their own States and
have wrested at least one from the
Republicans and made heavy gains
in others. The result may be SUNNI
ed up as follows:
New York is sure Democratic.
The Democratic ticket has been
elected by majorities from fifteen
to twenty Thousand, except Secretary
of State. The plurality for Gen.
Carr, Republican for Secretary of
State will be about $4,000. How
the Democrats elected their ticket
by any majority in the face of so
many adverse circumstances is sur
prising, and shows that they can
carry it next year in tho presidential
contest.
+ The result in New Jersey verified
the most sanguine Democratic pre-
dictions. The State has given q
handsome majority for Leon Albeit,
Democratic candidate for Governor,
and is certain to be found in the
Democratic column in The Presiden-
tial contest of 1884.
In Massachusetts, Butler is beat
ten about 10000, on the largest vote
ever polled in the State. We regard
the result as a genuine Democratic
gain and happy del~iverance for the
party. 1t settles his hash for Presi-
dent next year.
Pennsylvania has gone Republi-
can by from $4,000 to $4,000. No
sensible person looked for any thing
else. The State is naturally Repub-
lican, and rs the party was united
