COVINGTON NEWS.


following is the result of the election day
before yesterday, so far as the city is con-
cerned. The county has given Coombs from
GOO to 700 majority, and Roberts is elected
Sheriff. The official count will not be pro-
claimed till Thursday. By the figures below,
it will be observed that Mr.. Foley is elected
by two majority, but it is the intention, we
learn, to contest the election. One man,
named Geo. Leonard, has already plead
guilty to the charge of illegal voting and been
held over for his appearance at the next term
of the Circuit Court, and another has been
arrested, and will be examined to-day. Should
the Commonwealth establish the charge in
this latter case, the vote will be a tie although
Mr.. Foleys friends contend that they can
point out illegal votes for Goodson.
