The Republicans of this city and
county made a gallant fight yesterday
and deserved to succeed. But the DEM
Ocrats made correspondingly desperate
exertions and have carried the. county.
by slightly increased majority. Both
parties made great efforts and brought
out very nearly their full vote.-
The vote is the largest ever cast. We
present our readers this morning, for
the first time. we believe, in the history
Of Wheeling Journalism, the vots Of
every township in the county the morn
ing after the election. The majority
against us is 1856 more than in 1856,
and 43 more than on the 22d ult. The
Democrats claimed yesterday morning
they would carry the county by a
msjority of25o. wehoped they would
n'tearry 1t at all; and they Wouldn't II
we had had votes enough to.preyent 1t.
To our Ohio county friends We would
say, you have given the enemy,a taste
ofyour quulity, and have earned their
very high respect. We shall hear no:
more bluster about big msj sjorities here.
That little delnsion is dispelied. We
are not to give Il Up So. We have but
to go on steadily and firmly, keeping
our organization intact, informing our
people and exposing the expressions

taskmasters and tax-nastors here 70
