Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 2, Number 27, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 October 1858 — THE STATE TICKET. [ARTICLE]

THE STATE TICKET.

Contrary to all expectations at the time of our last .issue, the Democratic State ticket has been elected by majorities ranging from 2,000 Hanna, run ahead-of the other officers considerably, a result attributable to the fact that the. Anti-Lecompton Democrats in some counties, particularly.in the “Pocket,” voted for three of the Judges—Worden, Perkins and Davisson —and for Rugg for School Superintendent, and rejected the rest of the Lecompton State ticket. The exact vote cannot be ascertained yet. The vote on Congressmen gives an AntiLecompton majority in the State of about 9,000; and as this was the vote first reported by telepraph, it gave rise to the belief that the State had gone Republican by about 10,000. The result shows that the Democrats, while they sustained their State ticket, have repudiated tiie National Administration. Buchanan received in 1856 about 7,000 which shows a Democratic loss in two years of about 4,000. Such a change in the next two,years will give us the State in 1860.
