Oxford Courty.

One remarkable feature OF the late cleo
tion in,his County is, that while some towns
made very decided gains for the Republican
ticket,tbe Democrats gained As decidedly in
others. The reason OF this is doubtless the
superior organization OF the Democratic
party in those towns whore Democratic
gains were made, and rcmisSncss on the
part OF the Republicans. The following
analysis OF the vote IN Oxford County, will
be OF interes; rs showing to VIA, extent this
loss or gain to the Republican party over
last year exists. and indicating those towns
where the Republicans have not romc TO
time. Local causes doubtless operated to
some extent. in producing these results. bu,
they cannot all le accounted Tor in thar way,
for a a rule the same causes operated in all
places alike
Oxford County gained for the Republican
ticke; three hundred and city one votes
over last years vote in the following town.
