The Jeffersonian Democrat

The Union Executive Committee of this State have issued an address to the Union voters, in which they announce the gratifying result of the recent election. Although full official returns have not yet been received, and little is known as to the vote of the soldiers still in the field, the Committee are already enabled to state that the Union State ticket has been elected by a majority ranging from 28,000 to 30,000, without the soldiers' vote. This gives to the State a Union Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Treasurer, two Supreme Judges, Attorney General, School Commissioner, Member Board of Public Works, Clerk of the Supreme Court. The Legislature stands as follows: Of the 37 members of the Senate, 35 are Union, and of the 105 members of the House, 68 are Union, and the election of at least two more by the soldiers' vote is confidently expected, making 70 Union members in the House, and giving the Union party two-thirds in each branch, and a majority on joint ballot of 48.
