COUNTY ELECTION RETURNS.

by unofficial reports. They are probably
reliable and in the main correct:
OTTAWA did gloriously, electing the en-
tire democratic ticket. Hon. r. w. Dun
can, supervisor, SO majority; Judge Lit
tlejohn, Ga. The result was more salts
factory than even the democracy antici-
pated. The election was quietly and well
conducted, strictly political in its charac-
ter. The republican ticket combined the
utmost strength and power of the party,
and no means were left untried that could
be thought Of or accomplished for its sue
cess. Last year, if We mistake not, the
entire republican ticket was elected BY a
fair majority-Mr. E. p. Ferry, supervi
or. 1t is the first time for several years

equality and aboltionism-though all
else perish.

Mr.. Benjamin Lille, democrat, supervi-

cal truth-democracy. She's comingl
GEORGETOWN has achieved n wonder
full and most crafty resulAgiying dem
