No Prohibition 70 Nebraska.

No Prohibition 70 Nebraska.
Glad indeed are we to announce that
democratic ideas are being adopted by
the people; that democratic argument
is reaching home to the honest voters
of the land, and that wave of progress
sive and independent thought is sweep
ing over the land from east to west,
from north and south, with a resistless
force. that is burying in oblivion the
party of trusts, monopolies and high
tariffs.
In our limited space we can best give
an idea of the extent of the great land
slide by giving, briefly, the dispatches
of today, the 9Th:
Columbus, Ohio.-The republican
state committee has conceded the de-
feat of Poorman in the 18th district,
Lewis in the 18th, Brigham in the 9Th,
Foster in the 7th and Mckinley in the
18th. If so, theme Ohio delegation
in the house will stand IA democrats
and z republicans.
Philadelphia, Pa.-Returns from IS
of the 81 counties in the state give Pat
tison, democrat, for governor 1872 plu
rality. The election of Pattison by
over 5000 plurality is conceded by all
republican leaders and journals. The
democrats have certainly gained two
congressman and the figures are so close
in three other districts that official COM
putat;On may show at least one adj
ditional democratic member in the del
egation and possibly democratic gain
of four or five.
New York Sun:-The New York
democracy is unshaken. 1t has elected
its candidates by a majority which
shows that at the next great canvass,
when it's enemies will no longer be left
with any cover of deception, its strength
will be as pregnant of victory as the
national democracy could desire.
Boston, Mass.-The Journal, repub-
lican, says this morning: The election
is Massachusetts yesterday resulted in
the choice of Hon. w. E. Russell, the
democratic candidate, for governor.
Milwaukee, Wis.-The democrats
claim the election of the state ticket by
5000 majority. Both branches of the
legislature are democratic and three,
if not more, congressman. 1t is the
greatest victory for the democratic
party ever known in the state:
Chicago, Ill.-Of the twenty congress
sional districts in Illinois, the indica-
tions point to the undoubted election
of ten republican and six democratic
congressman with four districts still in
doubt.
Observation-Disclosures has gone demo-
cratic by 10000, and one democratic
congressman has been gained. At mid
night Chairman Jewett of the demo-
cratic state committee said: 1--WE have
carried the state by 10000 and elected
the legislature and eleven of the thir-
teen congressman.
Arkansas Breckenridge is again
elected to congress, and this time will
not be ousted by set of unprincipled
party manipulators.
Minnesota.-Indicati are that the
democrats have gained two congress
men and the governor.
Detroit, Mich.-Present indications
are that the democrats have carried the
1st, End, 5th, eth, 9Th and 10th congress
sional districts with possibilities IN the
9Th, 9th and 4th.
Col0rado.-At the democratic head
quarters everyone is jubilent and Chair
man Arbuckle claims the election of
the entire ticket by 5000 on the basis
that SO per cent. of the registered vote
has been cast.
Omaha, Neb.-Informatio received
from the bankers and business mems
association Of Nebraska estimates the
majority against the prohibitory
amendment at $4,000. Returns from
over the state are too few to base posi-
tive assertion on, but indicates the
election of Boyd, D., for governor, the
choice of three democratic congress
men and the defeat of prohibition. The
majority against the latter will be from
1900 to 10000.
