80 states, and although our returns
are very meagre and incomplete
they are sufficiently encouraging te
warrant us in congratulating oul
democratic readers, which we &C
cordingly do, upon the promise Of
an early return Of the country to
democratic rule. From all of the
states holding elections, democratic
gains are reported, while in many
the gains are conceded to be very
large, and when it is remembered
that the wires are always made to
say the republicans have carried
every precinct from Maine to Cali
fornia, and from Florida to Alaska,
for at least three days after gen.
eral election, the fact that the
election of Congressman and Gov
errors in Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets and Iowa, is conceded becomes
significant.

beating Gear, an old Iowa republi-

South Dakota is uncertain a
good omen for democrats. Wash
lngton is classed as doubtful. Con-
Connecticut, North Carolina, New
Mexico, all democratic. New Jer-
sey sends three democrats and two
republicans to Congress. Goodwin
is defeated in Utah. Florida, Ken
lucky, Texas and West Virginia,

other good things, did it. Hurrah

have a democratic majority of 65
