Democrats having carried at least two
townships in the county which have
heretofore gone Radical by large ma
iorities. In Monongalia county the
Democrats have not been idle. They
have made handsome inrOads upon their

township alone amounting to one hun
dred and twenty-five.
The Clarksburg Conservative says that

been entirely Radical with the excep-

ticket has been defeated in five out of
seven of the townships, nOtwithstand-

as they thought, enough voters in one
of the Democratic townships to give
