We give below the returns Of the G

like AN enact conclusion can be drawn
from the returns so far II, received, ~

nominees # the party Tor Senators,
Judges. and Sheriff, Of the county, we
find an opposition manifested to other
nominations Of the party too marked
aud too decided to be passed unno,ced.
We find that an attempted change for
he office Of Probate Judge III the west
rrn district has met with IL most dcci-
,lc.l rrbukc from the voters Of the dis
met, and that the nomination Of candi-
latcs for States attorney is met with Il

ow Of u wrong either in the one dircc
ton or the o,hrr.-At the time of the
present writing we regard the success o.
either candidate for this Office as alto
yeiher uncertain and whatever may
NOR be the result, the fact is apparent
that the convention either made il mis-
take in their nomination or that the vo
tiers OF the County are far less ready
l than usual to exhibit that appreciation
+ Of merit heretofore SO readily given
1t will be useless, for gentlemen to al
tempt to throw the blame in this mat

these differences, which have too lon
