Although our whole ticket is beaten,
this is glorious result, as the usual ma
jority of the Opposition in this Township
is about lao. The Union men did we'll,
and aCiH 40 better the nerI time. We bave
about one hundred Union votes from this
Township in the army. taua#
Union Township has done gloriously.-
The quasi Secesh of that Township calcu-
lated confidently on elccting their entire
ticket. IusteHd of that, the entire Union
ticket is elected by lnrge mnjorities. Fox,
for Assessor, has 81 majority Simpson,
Clerk, 3s; LiPpihcott, Treasurer, 81. The
majority on Trustees is from 80 to 40. The
Sham Democracy did their best, but
couldn't win. The Union cause prospers
gloriOusly in Old Union. gtz
