Election Notes.


gather from our various State ex-
changes and also list of the Repre-
sentatiyes elect Mr. Pages majority
is at least twenty Observation-Disclosures
l. largo, we imagine, for all practical
purposes.
Victor Atwood's majority over Brad
ley Barlow, one Of the regularly nom
mated Republican candidates for Sen
ators, is seven hundred and thirty
seven. Last week we gave Mr.. At
wood "a majority Of one hundred and
thirty-three in the town of Fletcher. 1t
should be ono hundred and eight
Otherwise the figures are the same MS
hitherto published in the TRANscRIpr J
The election of Mr.. Atwood can hard
ly be claimed as democratic victory.
1t is true he was nominated this year,
as well as last 10y the democrats, but
we never knew of his attending
democratic convention. Mr. Atwood
belonged to the wing party, while that
party had an existence. During the
war, in his capacity as selectman, he
did a great deal to ill the quota Of his
town, and zealously advocated liberal
town bounties.
From our corrected table Of the vote
for Judge of Probate, it will be seen
that Myron w Bailey is elected Judge
of Probate instead of Mr.. Samson as
announced last week. The small vote
for Judge of Probate in ST. Albans,
: compared with that for the rest of the
County ticket led 20 a re-examination
of the ballots and the official count,
which had been carefully preserved in
the Town Clerk safe. This examina-
ton was made on Wednesday by Sc
lectmen Victor Atwood and Daniel r,
Potter, Constable Mason, and Justices
Sherman and Gilman, when it was
found that there was an error Of 62 in
the footing of the vote, in favor of Mr..
Bailey; in other words, the votes were
correctly counted on election day, but
the clerk of the board, by mistake
gave Mr. Bailey 62 less than he was
fairly entitled to. These 90 votes adj
= ded to the number of votes Mr. Bailey
, was said to have received, reduces Mr.
o Samson's majority in St. Adams to "a
& consequently elects Mr.. Bailey, un
less there are changes in favor of Mr.
> Samson in other towns. Last week We
:, gave Mr.. Bailey majority of Sc il
Fletcher; we are informed that it i
80. Allowing the vote Of Fletcher
however, to remain the same as las
g week, Mr.. Bailey has eiecen majorit
. in the County over Judge Samson.
A. The full return of votes in Chitten
= den County gives Englesby, candidat
r, for States Attorney, plurality OF fly
e. hundred and two, and Mr. Hard car

n. hundred and eighteen. The demo
Gratis very generally voted for bot
Englesby and Hard.
