                <text>The polls are in, and the city has spoken. The conservatives have resoundingly won in the polls. The conservative mayoral candidate, Mr. Keiley, as well as ten other conservatives can claim a victory in the elections. What this means for the city, no one knows just yet. While the Conservatives are rejoicing in their successes, Radicals are both surprised and outraged. All of the effort that the Radicals and the government exerted - sending the army down on election day, stationing soldiers at the ballot locations to "keep the peace" - has failed. In the wake of their victory in the polls, the Conservatives have but one thing on their minds: continuing the push back against the Radicals. The Conservatives seem to think that all signs are pointing their way toward completely taking back the power from the Radicals. With their wins in the polls, all they need to do now is to take the congressional candidate.</text>

            <text>We can elect Keiley and the ticket he heads by a decided vote. We have the registered strength to do it. Then, we shall be faithless to ourselves and the city not to do so We can rid ourselves of Porter and send to Congress Colonel Ordway if we will but vote our strength in this district. Porter is even abominated in the Republican party. Colonel Ordway is a courteous and intelligent gentleman - one who has cast his slot with us and proved his readiness to share hare our fortunes. He has been on the liberal side in the policy towards the South, and has bitterly opposed all disfranchisements and pains and penalties. He is with us and for us, an enterprising, liberal, and loyal gentleman - loyal to the people he lives amongst, and loyal to the public interests. What a grand victory that will be which defeats Porter and elects Ordway! It can be done. Discharge your duty, voters, and it is done. Gentlemen of the city and the district, a united and faithful effort to-morrow gives us the victory. Victory here will be of inestimable value in its influence upon the political  condition of the State, and upon the credit and contentment of the Commonwealth.</text>
