Wings have suffered a partial defeat-
we lose our Sheriff and Commissioner
LoeuE is elected contrary to expectation
when our paper went to press last week.
The following are the names of those
elected:
Representatives. LoeuE, whig.
Sherif-D. H. RosE, Democrat.
Treasurer-I. R. CALoHAS, whig.
Pros. Attorneys A. NASH, whig.
Commissioner-JAcKsoS T. Smith,
Democrat.
Coroner-D. c. RArHBuRS, whig.
The whole number of votes cast in
the county, was about FIVE hundred less
than at the Presidential election last
year, when Scott received 1867, Pierce
iIOs and Hale 1856. By comparing the
votes of the two years one cannot fail to
perceive that very large majority of
the votes not polled in the county were
Wing, while with the large vote polled
for LEWIS, Free Soil. leaves but small
majority for the Wing State ticket
The defeat of FISHER and GRAHAM, for
Sheriff and Commissioner, was owing
to the fact that each was opposed by
two Independent Wings.
OF the election of ANDERSON, Demo
'crat, over SrrMses, Wing. in this Sena-
torial district, there is no doubt, al
though we have not the official majority
before US, yet we believe that Anderson
receives a majority in every county.
House, Democrat, also beats Horror,
Wing, as member of the Board of
Equalization. We have collected below
the returns from different parts of.the
State.
Meigs county has elected the entire
Democratic ticket, including Campbell,
for Representative, by an average ma
jority of about seventy.
The following gives the result in
Lawrence:
IRoNroN, ONO, Oct IA, 1853.
DEAR SIR:-Our official vote has
lust been received, and we (Whigs) are
badly heated. Barrere's majority is
but31. Stimson is beaten-Anderson's
majority being IA; and Johnson, Demo
crat, is elected over Mcdowell, Wing,
by % votes. The Wing county officers
are all elected.
Jackson county gives Evans, Wing,
for Representative over ESQ majority,
which is supposed Vinton cannot over
come.
Athens county elects a Democratic
Representative, ard the balance of the
county ticket Wing. Washington coun-
ty elects the Whig ticket. Ross county
gives Medill a majority but elects two
Wing Representatives. In Cincinnati
the Times says:
twill be seen by our table Of returns
that the Democrats have given every
candidate on their ticket decided ma
jority in the city-larger than they
have ever before obtained, notwithstand-
ing nearly full vote has been polled.
1t is now generally admitted that hum
dreds of Wings must have voted the
entire Democratic ticket, on account Of
their opposition to the Maine Law
ticket We notice that in the First,
Fifth and Fifteenth, strong Wing
Wards, Medill, Democrat, has majori-
ties for Governor.
This proves conclusively that the
Democratic party of Hamilton county
is nearly unanimous in their opposition
to the Maine Law, while the Wings are
about equally divided on the question.
The result in Hamilton county is but an
index of the vote throughout the State
several of the strongest Wing coun-
ties having elected Democrats to the
Legislature on the liquor question.
In regard to the result in Franklin
county, the Columbus Journal says:
"In this county it is tolerably certain
that the entire Locofoco ticket is elected,
with the possible exception of Sheriff.
The townships are not all reported, but
such appears to be the result. Our
candidates for Representatives are
beaten by several hundred majority
The anti-temperance majority is decided
in this county"
No doubt Medill is elected by $4,000
to 10000 majority over Barrere. as
many thousand Wings have voted for
Lewis on the temperance question.
The entire Democratic ticket appears
to be elected with a Legislature largely
of the same faith over Wings and Tenn
perance men.
Scioto county, it is reported, has
elected the Democratic ticket Frank
lin do. Muskingum do, and others too
numerous to mention. We shall give a
list of the members elected as we can
get it. The State Journal of Friday
says:
The north has gone almost unani-
mously Maine law. The south anti
