Our friends of The Sidney Democrat
claim that the Democracy Of Shelby county
did 50 well at the late elections that they
are entitled to special commendation. They
say: Il,
"In Shelby county, having avotingpopu-
lation of but little over three thousand (both
parties included), the Democrats gained III
votes at the Presidential election, over their
majority on the l1th OF Octocef preceding
and at the October electien, they gained
l57 over their majority OF last year, on the
home Matchmaking clear gain in less than
thirteen months, of tiro hundred and eighty
four majority! A gain of about one to ev-
cry six Democratic voters. What other
county can boast of having done better in
proportion to the number OF voters? We
are not sure but Shelby is the banner coun-
ty of Ohio. What say you, friend Lay
MANI" s4 ,titr
Nearly all the counties did SO well, that 1t
is hard to determine which has earned the
banner. Shelby made glorious record for
herself and is entitled to lasting honors;
and large share of the credit is due to
MCGoNAGLE and LEWIS, editors of The
Democrat. In publishing list of counties
that gave heavy Democratic majorities, we
certainly did not intend to overlook Shelby
or any other county that did so well fol
Democracy. eeA
