The Clarksburg Conservative says that
in Gilmer county, just previous to the
election, the Board of Registration met
and struck off the names of some eighty
voters. After again looking over their
books, being uncertain of the result of
the election, they met again and struck
off q number more, and the correctness
of their calculations was manifested by
the radicals carrying the county by some
ten or dozen majority. The "loyalty'
of the voters of Gilmer, as elsewhere,
was weighed by their Radicalism, and
as soon rs Radicalism predominated,
the monkey quit eating the cheese.
The Union Register learns that it is
the intention of some of the supervisors
of Monroe county, to take no notice of
the election held at the Court house of
that County on the 25th ult. In de-
scribing the mode of conducting that
election, the Register says:
"The law provides most explicitly
that where the Supervisor fails or refu
ses to hold an election, the registered
voters may take the matter in their
own hands, select the proper officials
and proceed with the election. The law
was fulfilled to the letter here on last
Tuesday week. 1t was read publicly
befote the people, before the polls We're
opened; the registered voters managed
the whole proceedings, the Recorder adj
ministered the oath, the Regular Super
visor was present at the ballot-box,
and gave directions. We defy the
most jealous investigation to dis
cover where the laws were violated,
The votes cast here will probably not
affect the election of some of the candi-
dates. As to the county officers, how
ever, the Union vote will turn the scale
completely, and we are glad to know
that if this vote is not counted by the
Supervisors, the matter will be most
strenuously contested by some of the
parties interested, and somebody will
have the costs to pay.
