Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 3, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 October 1859 — THE ELECTION. [ARTICLE]

THE ELECTION.

Wo have heard from six or seven townships only, but the returns so far indicate that our whole ticket is elected by majorities ranging from one hundred to one hundred *&d eighty. . C&Mering the desperate efforts of tome Detnocrats, to defeat our ticket, by tickets and other frauds, the victory io one that should make every Republican rejoice. We do not believe that the Democratic candidates had any knowledge of the spurious ticket scheme, until they were printed; but when they did discover if, it seems to us that they ought to have publicly denounced it and its authors.
