The Reporter of yesterday is very ju-
bilant oVef2ths. resulG of Tuesday's
election. The majority is estimated at
from 800 to 500 for the Union ticket. In
rematking upon the vote polled, the
Reporter says:
b Though the day was a most propitious
one, the. vote In the county Will no
doubt fall considerably belp that poll
ed last year, yet the decrease Will not
be so great MS was supposed. Owing to
thesa Thy that seemed to~peFyade thc
ranll8 nfiboth- patA65, many predlGted
a very light vote, and consequently hut
few were willing to venture any conf
dent predictions 0S to the result. The
sequel shows, however, that the people
throughout the country have felt n
deeper iutc crest In tila contest than most
of us were led to believe. The returns
have come In slowly, and though we
have heard from only u comparatively
smalt portto ion. OF the county, enough Is
known to warrant us In saying thnt
