over last year only being about six or seven
thousand. while it is fifty thousand short of
that cast at the last Presidential election.
On Liutenant Governor the vote stands
thus:
Ford, Fusionist, 169.439
Myers, Democrat, 133, ,485
Ford's majority, 35,954
The net Democratic gain since last year
is, therefore, forty-one thousand. The Dem
ocratic vote, which was only one hundred
and nine thousand in 1854, has increased
to one hundred and thirty three thousand
in 1855 while the Fusion vote has fallen of
from one bundled and eighy-six thousand
to one hundred sixty nine thousand. Our
vote is only fourteen thousand less than it
was in 1853, when Medill was elected by
eleven thousand majority over all This
Shows that an inconsiderable number of our
men have deserted to the enemy, and that
our organization retains nine-tenth Of its
original strength. The fact that our vote
shoul have increased twenty-four thousand
within the past year, and the Fusionists"
diminished seventeen thousand, is most
gratifying indication of the healthy reaction
in public sentiment which has been and
is still going on,
Twenty counties gave democratic ma
jorites for Myres over Ford, eleuen being
redeemed since last year; included in the
latter being some OF the most important in
the State, such as Hamilton, Montgomery,
Fairfield and Wayne. Thirty one counties
now give Medill majorities over Chase
Thirty-two counties have been carried BY
the Fusionists by meager majorties Of from
one to less than five hundred each. The
most Of these latter will, next year, be found
'right side up" with Democratic maioriies
Wherever anything like full vote was
polled this year and contest made-such
for instance, as in the counties Of Hamilton,
Franklin and Montgomery-the result was
a substantial Democratic triumph. On the
contrary, the enemy obtained his majorties
in those regions of the State where only a.
bout two thirds Of the electors came to the
polls. The entire Fusion vote only equals
what Pierce, Democrat, received for Presi
dent in 1852, and there is no doabt that,
so perfect was their organization, nearly al
their electors were brought out. Even
