ECHOES OF THE ELECTION AT ELMIRA.

| prMocRArIc TnEAciIERY TO "JERRY" MGUIRE-
THE GovERxoRs OPPOSITION TO PEcKHAM.
| Eru,p. Nov 6-Thc result OF the election In this
county and Congressional District surprised the De-
mocracy who had their faith pinned on Governor hili
and believed that all the old batchets had been buried
| But alas TOR their hopes! David proved to be the
David of the past and the usual underhand slashing
and cutting took place. As stated in The TRIBUNE
before the election Jerryn Mcclure the football
of revenge and the many kicks that he received from
the Governors hcelers show the spirit that controls
! Democratic leaders when they want revenge, partic
ularly when IL @ candidate 20 be slaughtered is Irish
| or of Irish descent. "Jerry" Mcclure is a of
Irish and ran in district carried last fall by
1,0O6 for Governor Hill. Thomas s. Flood is of
the late DR. Patrick II. Flood and therefore the
nationality question the same in each case.
Mct;ure defeated by 2,406, running 3,4l2 be-
hind Governors of last year. Thus while the
Republican party disregards and color the Dem
ocrats draw the race and color lines, and prove treac
erous to their candidates.
There was another instance of Democratic hatred of
the Irish :he late election The Democrats carried
the entire county ticket except Superintendent of the
Poor and Justice of Sessions For superintendent of
the Poor Thomas S. Disney traded oil tor Bush Tor
member Of Assembly, and defeated. The Gazette.
Hills organ, professed undying love for the foreigners
before election. but now dumb as an oyster IN
regard to the treachery toward them. The Irish Dem
oocrats and many of them have determined on
revenge 80
The election of Dr. Bush to the Assembly by 122
plurality brought about by every means known to
the Democracy, particularly by the Lavish use OF
districts were deluged by documents against the
Republican candidates for the Assembly, but both
ds riots carried by the Republicans by handsome
majortes. Seneca County. heretofore Democratic
elects Republican member of Assembly and gives
Daniels and Flood each 1O4 majority. In Seneca az
well as in Steuben Schuyler and Tompkins, the same
tactics observed By the Democratic leaders and
their lieutenants, and the result their complete
defeat prominent Democrat said " 1t was a |
complete rout aud Governor Hill has lost grip"
Governor Hills opposition to Judge Peckham, as |
published before election, has been made clear by the |
majority while Hill carried the county last tall by
1885 "The Gazette" has tried to hide the treachery
to peckham by publishing the false statement that |
Peckham has a majority of 422 in the county Judge
Peckhams friends angry at the treatment OF their
candidate and express themselves in uncertain
language
Supervisor Morgan s. Manning of the town of |
Chemung. has been appointed Deputy Collector of |
Internal Revenue for this district and is accordingly
happy while the city Democratic politicians, partIc-
uary the members OF the Excelsior Club. are corre-
spondingly depressed and there is a renewal OF the
kicking of few months ago-this time against the
National Administration.
