Panius Powell 325, VIM. L. Goesin 10; Pwcll's
majority 255. For House OF Delegates, George
Pannell. Jr., l05-no opposition. This is The
largest Democratic majority We have ever given,
and il is larger than we had The right 10 expec;
Tor there was no county opposition and many Of
our voters went into the adjoining counties oi
AlbemaTle and Madison, where there were warm
county contests, and The Wings made desperate
struggle here. Mr. Goegin addressed The people
in the Western part OF the county the day before
The election, and at SanardsvIe on the morning
OF The election. Mr.. Powell was not pfeseGt a.
either place. The Democrats OF this county have
done their whole duty. II they have done The
same in Inc other counties al his DisIficr, Powell
is elected beyond doubt. Yours, in haste.

KlNo GEORGE, April %, le49
Gentlemen After manly struggle Of three
days, although we verify believe We have honest
Iy and fairly carried the election for this coun-
", and will content for the seat n line Le.isa
ture; yet by the influence Of foreign votes, and
other appliances and mean, 10 bot which
will appear in the invc legation, We have been
deprived of the return:
..our numbered, not ont bravrd, We SIN oppose
Despair 10 daring, and n front 10 foes :"
Our triumph, however, ~ great one From
miserable little minority Of 81 votes. all told
IN 1896 we have, BY the force of truth and
Underwriting perseverance, IN n Just cause, al
tanned our present strength On the first day,
when the polls were oeued, We asked an earl,
decision on the propriety OF Closing them al
sunset and we're refused. The Attendance was
as full as usual, and We beat them three woes
The second Jay closed with SIX ma jorIty IN our
favor Throughout the third, iii half past
O'Clock in the evening with the exception 81 a
moments interval, when the foreign vote, and
men having no record title TO vote, were Hooded
and s,oorn in upon US from other cnuuilcs, we
led from two to seven votes. We gave way be-
fore such means and such odds, as The return
exhibits. il. nevertheless, shows that the De
mocra,s who composed the meeting, confirming
Mr.. Holidays nomination, and winch has
given SO much food for criticism 10 the Wings,
have faithfully redeemed their pledge, and il is
hoped il will fully pain 10 the obfusca led ia
cui,ies OF the Richmond Wing, and its all a!rd
crew, what was meant by d ing more than
casting one vote for a. X. Holiday" Perhaps,
100, the WING candidate can determine wheth-i
il is the weakness and viola ed pledges OF tie
TAYLOR Administration, or the force Of his c!aste
and anecdorcal style of argument, winch has
won for him 50 much fame, and thrown him
forty three votes behind his party since the Pre-
siten,iaI Election in the Fall
For Holiday, Democrat, l50

We have always been OPP osed 10 Conven-
,ion-we now make it The "wach word for The
fight" with universal suffrage based upon a re-
sideuce Of twelve months and a registry law;
single voting; courts organized according to
Mr.. Jeferson's plan; and all officers elected by
The people; for | would rather trust my lber-
ties TO Western cupidity and the ignorance Of
the populace,' than TO the justice o. Wings
