The Eleotion---The Result.

Inc eloCllOu uoT6 On MOuuey ""o ~"
Quoted in the most orderly and quiet man
ner-not an incident during the day occur
ring to cause even so much as ripple on the
political waters, for the mastery Of which,
the democratic and republican parties were
contending
Although compared with last, and one
or two preceding years, the vote was a
small one-so many of our citizens having
gone to the northern gold mines-yet in
the county a suficiency Of democratic votes
were cast to elect the entire ticket by ma
iorities varying from 60 to 90.
This result is the more gratifying from
the fact that the defeat Of portion Of the
ticket was confidently predicted BY many,
and the impression sought to be made that
there would be an unusual amount Of bol-
ing done-of cutting, scratching and trading
carried on, and to such an extent as to de-
feat portion Of the ticket-thereby de-
moraliElng and disrupting the party, and
through the division in our ranks, which
was sought to be made, secure an easy tri-
umph over the democracy at the next cleo
ton. The result but attests how illusive
were the hopes Of the opposition, and proves
that the democracy Of Thurston are too
firmly united to permit any innovation or
inroad to be made upon its ranks, to en-
danger the integrity of the party. The de-
mocraey Of ThurStOn, to-day. stands on a
6rmer basis, and in armor more impenetra-
bic than at any time in the past
An extraordinary interest was taken by
the opposition and few disaffected demo
Gratis, to defeat the election Of Mr. EDMUND
SYLVESTER, for representative, and Mr.
RICHARD LANE, for auditor and to accom-
plish which, a number of unfounded stories
were put In circulation to their prejudice.
Although these gentlemen run somewhat
behind the ticket, they both received hand
some majorlties. The average democratic
majorities show the most even, uniform vo-
ting that has ever taken place in the county.
The Independent candidate experiment,
was most signal failure. Although Mr..
s. D. RErSHART, the Independent candid
ate for representative, is good, exemplary
citizen, Of at least ordinary intelligence, aud
Of fair share Of good, practical
hard sense, he only received about rs votes
in the whole countyl This, we think, will
block, for the future, the Independent game
Mr.. R. received but very little sympathy
from even the republican party, as the vote
cast for him will bear testimony aa
About 26O votes we're polled in the coun-
y, and 10 Olympia precinct, Al straight
democratic votes we're cast a.
The official vote Of the county has not
yet been furnished us. We will endeaVOr
to publish it next week.
SAwAmsH CoUNTY.-An unfortunate d.
vision in the party has occurred in this
county, in consequence of which, we fear
that Mr.. DAVID SHELTON, the democratic
nominee for representative, has been de-
deated. The balance Of the ticket it is
reported has been elected. ...-.
~ Since the above was 10 type, we
learn that Mr.. Purdy was elected repre-
sentative.

Just arrived from Steilacom informs US that
Col. VIZ. Il. WALLACE, (rsp.,) has been
elected to the Council, from Pierce county

the elected county officers.
