have lost New Jersey.
The VoTE OF THE STATE.-Nr Lyon s
majoriiy in the state is about 900. We
will give TIE vote of the counties as soon
as we get them officially.
The L. S. SENAToR.-.The Wings
have & majority in the state Senate and
f in the House of Delegates; majority
of II on Joint ballot, which ensures
ihem the I. s. Senator, IN place of Mr..
Prarce, who more than likely will be
h)r. Pearce himself.
THIS CONGRESSIONAL D!srR lcr.-The
majority for Doct Shower over Mr..
Wethered in this congressional district
is not far from 500. We will publish
the official vote when it comes to hand
The Docter,.it will be perceived, got
q much larger majority in this county
than the last Democratic candidate. On
this occasion both candidates lived out
of the county; then both resided here.
DISTRESSING Casualty. We learn
that Mr.. James B. Smack, son of Capt
Smack Of Bohemia Manor, Young man
soi - years, was accident Y shot while
cunning with Mr.. Job Wharton, on
Thursday last. They had been shooting
ducks on the Bohemia, and, it appears
had taken round in the fields in pur-
suit Of cartridges. Mr.. Wharton states
that hearing The report Of Smack's gun
he went Ia the spot and found him shot
through the back and in dying cond.
taon. He survived bat few minutes.
[C5-A much larger vote was cast in
this county this year than on any pre-
yious occasion. The vote for Governor
from ISL til! 1893 inclusive, stands as
follows:
al, Thomas, 1907; johnson, 1885, total 2lS5;
IA, Carroll, l5S5; Pratt, 1921; total 2lO9:
al, Thomas, li67; GnItIsh'h, 1856; 2S33;
80, Lowe, HIS; Clarke, HIP; $3.50;
'53, Liaon, 1858; Bowie. 1928; " 32lI;
This year 72S more votes were cast for
Governor than in 1911, but only l02
more than in 1874; that was the
year of the contest, however, between
Clay and Polk, and there was an I'M
usually full attendance at the POLLS.
37S more votes are pollpd this year than
in lSi7 and 2G1 more than for Lowe
and Clarke in 1880.
Although the vote this year is SEEM
ingly SO heavy, we have good data for
estimating that fall 300 voters were not
out, winch would make the voters of
Cecil exceed $500 in number. She is
indeed growing in population as well
as in wealth and prosperity; tho, un-
luckily. the voting on the general ticket
shows that the democrats are increasing
fastrr than the wings. In this Ohe 3rd,)
district the democratic gain has lately
been large, but we hope their present
majority may not be permanent
As regards our comty candidates,
Hyland proved himself strong in some
localities but was badly treated in
Others; the 9Th failed him and Waims.
% Icy made great lnroads here. The vote
rcceivedby AIR. McCauley usually elects;
Ricketts, was elected two years ago by
Two votes less. McCaulev had to bear
nearly all the cutting in most parts of
the county, it being conceded that he
was our strongest man, and hence ne
ccssary that he should be kept down.
Our commissioners were very strong
aud made great inroads into the other
barty, in their respective districts. The
tide sat in their favor, also, and they
were well sustained throughout the
county. In the 9Th district, ia which
none OF them reside, they ran consider
ably ahead Of the whig ticket.

not take place at the time Of State
election. A fair expression of opinion
can scarcely be had on state and county
tickets, when the voters are beset with
so many local candidates So, Also is
there less chance to get good district
officers when party politics have SO
much to DO with an election. We hope
the legislature will change the time ri
