Full returns from elections held Tuesday
last, a week, give the State of OLdo to the
Democracy by a majority of 17,000 or 18, .
005, and a gain of seven Congressmen.
Indiana also elects the Democratic ticket
by 14,000 majority, and also a pleurality
vote, and makes a gain of five members of
Congress. Iowa and Nebraska voted
solidly for the Republican ticket, and
shows increased majorities. Arkansas
voted on her now Constitution, and for
State officers under its provisions. Repub
licans ignored the whole business, but it
seems that the Democracy have made the
returns all the same as if they had voted.
In fact, tho whole vole is larger than when
Ropublicans have participated in the elec
tions. West Virginia elects Democratic
Representatives.

No longer wo'll complain, in doleful rhymes
Of grievous taxes and distressful times,
Election dny though late is drawing neat
And candidates are lavishing their beer
So we may changj our wonted, dismal note
And cat nnd drink nil winter for vote.
After a season of starvation past.
Our turn to eat nnd drink has corneal latt.
In us, beholdthe aation's sure protector
Though starved, lmlf-clothcd, unwashed yet
still electors,
Of this-the greatest nation to bo found
On the "aerial or Telluric ground"
(What nil that means I've not tho faintest
glimmer
If you would know, gi ask the asi-ute
Wimmer,
Who, to Elucidate must needs "dispense
Bright fl owers of rhetoric devoid of sense"
And make tho whole ns clcai'ly understood
And transparent ns his native wood. )
Whom we'll elect we have not. yet decreed
But whether Hnysor Horton shall succeed,
Wimmer or Oyster, Osterhout or Scull
We'll bleed them all and get our pookels
full.
