limited States Courts and many OF the Coun-
ty Courts. They have had the help OF the
State government, from the Governor
down, and all have been forward in giving
assistance TO the nominees and supporters
of the faction wherever needed. They
have used the colored vote TO the fullest eX-
tent possible, and through I'LL means IN

and financial.
They have not succeeded. Indications

off of the treasury only that they might
ret their hands in. That they have pre-
vented the PAYMENT OF taxes in coupons,

The Downfall of the Boss.
The result of our recent local elections
has opened the eyes OF the stalwart sup
porterS OF the Boss i'm the North as well n
his leaders i'm our own State to the fact thai
their Napoleon OF political corruption has
met his Waterloo. MahOnc's followers in
this section were wont to look upon him rs
invulnerable. They booted the idea OF his
being defeated, and his oflice-holders be-
lieyed rs long rs their Boss lived he could
protect them and himself from any and all
odds that might oppose. The result OF the
canvass of last Thursday totally dispels that
illusion, and shows how easy il Is TO over
throw tyrant at the ballot-boX when the
voters unite for that purpose. Malone
cannot recover from this defeat ii his oI'-
Donents exercise ordinary caution and IN
feligent foresight. We trust. now that
the bottom has been knocked out OF Ma
honerv. that the people, especially Of the
Second district, will allow the Boss no OPP
portunity to repair damages or again be-
tray them: but that wise cOunSels will
everywhere prevail, and in November next
we shall bury Mahonesm and its cOrrup.

Victory.
We salute the Democracy OF Pittsy,yania
with the glad tidings OF glorious victory.
For the first time in all the annals OF pOlit.
ical warfare our enemy refused to confront
us in the open field, and denied until the
very day OF battle that they intended to en-
Ter the lists against our champions. The
whole Conseryatiye-D Democratic ticket has
been triumphantly elected by unprecedent-
ed majOrites. The nominees OF the Con-
vention-Whitehead, OVerbey, Rison,
Tompkins, Woody, Norman, and Cole
man-haye been endorsed by the people
at the polls. The organization OF our party
has been maintained. and the power OF the
Democracy in this county Is supreme

Glorious! That IS the word; nothing
else would express it. The Democracy
haze won a splendid victory. And that
almost without organization. The State
Committee decided some months ago to
make no fight, but the people took it up on
their own account, and, without leaders,
have won a noble triumph From nearly
every portion OF the State come the notes OF
victory. In Norfolk county, where the Boss
make such desperate fight, he is "left =
| by a thousand majority. We name this
county specially because it was made 80
conspicuous by Mahone'S personal eXer-
lions and outrageous assessments. Many
other counties could be named.
| 1t is evident that had there been or
gmiZed effort by the Conservatives Ma
honeism would have been almost swept ont
OF existence. 1t is equally evident that
snch will be the case next fall, when tho
army OF Democracy. under its chosen cap
tains, will 90 forth to conquer. Let tho
people be brave and buoyant, for their de-
! liverance is near at hand. Glorious =
