Result Of the Late Elections

DEMOCRATIC GAINS THROUGHOUT NOR
r. GAN CoUNTY.-The work of Monday in
Morgan county, has resulted, somewhat to
+ the amazement of men of both political
parties, in showing that great political
change is heing effected here. From every
township from which we have received the
returns, there has been Democratic gain.
/. Morgan township, which has been accus-
toned to give Radical majority of from
80 to 100. has given Democratic majority
of from % to 35-electing the entire Demo-
cratic township ticket.
Bloom, Meigsville, and Deerfield town.
ships have each increased their Democratic
majorities. ~
Windsor township, heretofore Radical,
has elected the entire Democratic ticket by
majorities ranging from to 30.
These facts mGy be called nothing but
straws; but, if straws. they show the way
the political wind is blowing in old Nor
gan-I'he Conservative.
CLINTON TOWNSHIP PREDEEMED!-On Mon
day last, the Democratic ticket for town
ship officers of this (ClintOn) township,
was elected for the first time for fifteen or
twenty years, by an average of 90 majority.
Even the Borough of Sidney has become
revolutionized. The whole Borough Off
GERS. Democratic ticket with one excep-
tion, were elected. Glory enough for one
day. Inasmuch as 'Grant Club" have
been formed previous to the election, the
fate of his friends in Clinton township and
Borough may be looked upon as an index
of the popularity of the prospective candi-
date for President, on the Radical side.
We are happy to inform the Journal that
the people needed its advice and elected the
real sUnion" ticket, sure enough. All honor
to those conservative Republicans who
laid aside party for the good of the coun-
try. God grant that more OF them may
get their ewes open before next fall.-Shel-
by County Democrat.
Our LOCAL ELEcTIoN.-We have had
but meagre returns from the country town
ships. In Paxton township the Democrats
succeeded in electing their entire ticket
excepting one Trustee and Treasurer.
In Twin township the officers are pretty
equally divided, the Democrats having a
majority of one. We learn that for three
offices, the candidates are tied. These two
townships having until last fall, been the
stronghOlds of radicalism, a furious effort
was made to elect the Republican ticket,
and it was probably the closest contested
election ever held in them. -.s--..r..-,,.
In Green township, in consequence OF
local issue, regarding the removal of the
voting place, the Democrats were defeated.
In the city of Chillicothe and Scioto
township, the Radicals thought they could
do better on the .Independent dodge" and
made no regular nominations; Through
this means they succeeded in defeating that
big souled and deserving Democrat, Elijah
Stevenson, in the 1st ward. With that one
exception the entire Democratic township
and city ticket was elected.
Our candidate for Marshal, Mr.. Deuschle,
received the largest majority ever given to
q candidate in this city, $50.
The majority of Mr.. Wayland, in the
township, which was fair test of party
strength, was 434, heavy gain on last year.
The councilmen in the ID, Sd and 4Jh
Wards were elected by net gain OF 1913.
Colerain went Democratic by an in
creased majority over last fall, electipg the
entire ticket and the Mayor and Marshal OF
=Adelphi. Glorious.
The gallant Democracy of Deerfield went
to work with will, and elected their
ticket, excepting one Trustee, by good
majority. This has been radical strong
hold, and the victory is splendid one.
Union township, which has been strong
1y Republican, elected the full Democrat
ic ticket by large majority. Bully for
Union.
The Democracy of jefferson township
done nobly, electing their ticket by ma
jority of 80 to 40. This township has also
been Radical.
Struggled, huntingdon, Liberty, Frank
lin. have all done splendidly. The aggre-
gate majority in the county is fully one
thousand. How are you, Impeachment
g--Chillicothe Advertiser.
OUR LOCAL ELEcTIoN.-Our election on
Monday last, was in no sense test of party
strength. The Republicans, it is true, had
a regularly nominated ticket both for
townsbip and corporation. But they were
both Objectionable to the masses OF the
marty. and were voted for under protest.
The Democracy had a mixed corporation
ticket made on the eve of the election, and
composed of citizens who declared. almost
4without exception, that they would not
serve if elected. And the same is true of
the township ticket, except that it was
this was that the election was regarded as
a sort of burlesque, and conducted in that
spirit. With the single exception OF old
Martin Connell (who was very nolslly en-
thusiastic on the Republican side), nobody
of either party seemed to care snap how
things went. The vote, as q consequence,
was full third short. The Republican
majority on the corporation ticket was
aho,,t 106; on the township ticket, about
163. Wilson (Republican) beat Adams
