Notwithstanding the unfavorab,c circUm-
stances Of the campaign-no opposition to
the county ticket, general apathy among the
people, ard the fact that almost every farmer
was busy with his Fall work on election day
we have carried the county by an increased
majority over the October election of last
year, and have four townships voting unani-
mously for the right. In Democratic Gene
see VIC have a majority of 10 when it IS gen
orally that much the other way. Roulette,
headquarters Of the Iatter-day Saints and
grand nucleus for Deserters, We have reduced

Democratic Abbott goes from 2I Democratic
minority to l Republican this year. And SO
it is all over the county-those who did vote
generally voted right, and we lead them 3 to
l. We say, well done Potter and fear no
comparison with any county in the State.
Living among the hills, some of the voters
having to go many miles to the place OF
election, we feel that they have done nobly
and we heartily thank one and all of our
friends for the hearty and unanimous support
they have accorded the cause Of Right.

tied, owing to Democratic preponder-
ance of hold overs.
Newark Is the home of the rival eau
didates for Governor, Marcus L. Ward
and Gen. Runyon, the latter being her
retiring Mayor. Hers Gen. Fitzpatrick
and Hon. A. Jackson Rogers have been
heard in discussion. There is of course
some change since last year; but this
result is mainly effected by the soldiers, to
whom successive Democratic Legislatures
have denied the Right of suffrage while
in the field, bat who, having come home,
are now paying off the score.

ggF The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has under consideration the building of a
large depot at Harrisburg. It has often been
n subject of surprise that with the care and
ability displayed in the management of that
road and the beautiful and spacious depots
at other points on the route, so little attention
should have been paid to an important centre
like Harrisburg where trains are arriving and
departing every hour in the day and night.
We hope it may be done, for of all mean
places to get off or on the cars Harrisburg is
the meancst. Thieves, news-boys, "apples,
peanuts, pies" woman and men, gray hairs
and inantiIe locks, black and white, with
bargae. express, and mail wagons, omnibuss-
cs and private carriages, their drivers bel
lowing, cursing and crowding, make a "con-
fusion worse confouuded,' p and are all heaped
together without the slightest regard for the
comfort or safety Of travellers. After they
have erected the depot we do hope a COM
mittee will be appointed to find man who
will tell strangers whether q certain train
on particular track runs to Philadelphia
or Pittsburg, Baltimore or Elmira, or whether
it is expected 10 run at all. We have never
been able to find the man who would tell
unless, fortunately ne was not an employee
