yADIZ, OHIO,
FOR NEXT GOVERNOR OF OHIO,
DAVID TOD.
Harrison County OhfciaI.

We publish in to-day's paper an official abstract
Of the votes polled in this county, at the late
election, carefully made out for US by Mr.. DEARY,
the Deputy Clerk. The result is really curios-
ity. BY glance at the vote of the different
townships, it will be seen that there has been
great deal of swapping names and splitting tick
ets The whole number of votes polle,! for Re-
preventative is 1925; last year the vote for Go
vernon in this county was 4Ol3. The democratic
loss since last year has been l53, while the whg
loss has been only 81. In nearly every township
MIR. Milligan runs behind the rest of the ticket
Those who live abroad, and know Mr.. Milligan,
will doubtless be astonished at this, but the peo-
pie of this county, who are familiar with all the
circumstances connected with his defeat, looked
for nothing else. Asa man and citizen no person
In the county or out of it stands higher than
Mr.. Mllligap. His unassumig manners, good
ness of heart, and proverbal honesty, have all en-
deared him to the citizens of Harrison county,
After being nominated his election was looked
upon as thing certain, even by many of the
wings themselves. Against his private character
not word could be breathed by the wings; and
therefore to get up an excitement that would op-
crate upon him, they addressed him letter to
obtain his views on banking, and with that frank
ness Characteristic of the man, he did not hesi-
tate TO give his sentiments openly and unreserv-
edly. But these opinions did not suit the Bank
aristocracy of this town, and hence, they had Mr..
MS letter published and circulated over the
county, in glaring hand-bi form, with an infa-
mously false commentary thereon, and in many
places this commentary was read to the people
as Mr.. MtiHgan'S sentiments and acrit!en declu-
TGtions" The ridiculous mad dog cry of ''hard
money,""bank destructon," &C., SC, was i'm
mediately circulated throughout the county, and
every talsehood that lying tongues could invent
was spread on the wings of the wind far and near.
The pictures of the swindng red dog banks
WHICH have just gone into operation were shown
to the people by sharpers and Shyocks, and ter
libly alarming pictures of poverty and wretched-
ness were laid before a certain kind of democrats

their principles. The abolition vote for Repre-
sentative is also smaller than for any of the other
offices, which proves conclusiveIy that large
number Of the third party men have more love
for dollars than they have for the negroes!
But there is no use for saying more-we are
beaten, but it can't be helped now. There is
one consolation, however, that the democrats in
this county are not half so badly beaten as in ma
ny other parts of the state. The dissensions in
our ranks all over the State, in regard to the cur
rency question have operated very much against
the democracy, and kept large number in each
township away from theFolls. How long these
difficulties will last, We arc Al loss to know
The federalists invariably take advantage of the
slightest breach which may exist amongst the
democracy, and by brow-beatingand threats they
manage to keep their own party together.
