No doubt, ere this, you have heard the result of our
elections in Norfolk county; which have, contrary to
the expectations of the Democrats, resulted the
lection OF two Eederallsls-nnd this WAS done by i'm
porting waters from different Countless and by other base
means have heard, that in some instances, persons
voted receipt for taxes when their were not
on the commissioners boaks. The whole matter will
be investigated, and would not be surprised if Young
and Talem were elected. The Democrats of the old
Federal Borough turned out msnfuy and reduced the
Federal minority of 1910 of 23l down TO 1873, and in
November will reduce it still lower; and believe if
the vote for President to take place tomorrow,
Norfolk county would give Democratic majority.
OHIO-l Def.
WHEELING, April 25.
The news from Brooke renders Vt most probable that
tho stern ind unfallering Democrat John Miller, is
elected over his Democratic competitor Nathan Rves.
No Wing on that track.
In Ohio, Daniel Nj. Edgington, an Independen;
Wing, running against The dictallon OF Clique, il
elected by majority of 49, over his opponent. There
is this popularity of the Wing Party and this differ
ence from the Democracy The latter has always agreed
in and submitted to the arbrament of Conve nton,
10 settle political differences between members OF that
party, but the Wings resort TO this measure
cept in cases where faction having planned their
movements ind set their SPRINGS, prepare the des,uc
ton OF individual With Us, Conventions have ar
ways been recognized a natural and friendly trbu-
nai-a trial by an impartial jury-with the Wings, it
is the arbitrary decree Of Star Chamber Court where
an independent man is 10 be vlctImzad.

an instrument of fraud md suffrage is becoming some

there between the destruction of people sovereignty

have been between the fate of unfortunate Poland had

array of armed men: Marshall county, as q county,
should be sovereign, and foreign influence there
any where else should not dIshonor the soil, nor dis
