also indulged in and tlie clicois for

Cleveland, democracy and good
government are in tho swim!
Hip, hip, hurrah!
Tlie Gazette foiled to get tho
vote of Berrien comity by districts.
Notwithstanding the exceeding un
favorable weather that prevailed dur
ing llie day the democracy of the
county did approximately their
whole duty, and again sustained Ber

the county is 937; Russell’s majority

tlie second congressional district is
not less than 7,000.' Hon. Henry
G, Turner has carried the eleventh
district by about 5,000 majority.
Georgia will be represented in the
fifty-third congress by eleven as
staunch democrat* as the country
cun produce. (Tborgist’s honored sou,
Chits. F. Crisp, will lie again elected
to preside over the deliberation* of
that body. Georgia is decidedly “iu

Georgia didn't give as large major
ity as in the state election but there
is no dark spot on her demoe ratio

According io the best information
obfuitiabie at the time of going to
press tiie tower branch of the house
of the. next congress will be composed
of 218 democrats,' 127 republicans
and 7«alljuncemen. .
Lutest advices lead us to believe
that the next United ‘States senate
will lie under democratic control.
The democrats will gain a senator
from New York in the place of His-
cocfc; one from Nebraska; one from
Wisconsin in.lion of Sawyer; Stewart
of Nevada, who will tie re-elected as
a, jHipulist will also act with the
democrats. Then ' the present popu

Tho Gazette desires to carry no
better news to its readers this week
