day resulted in the choice OF ah sho isoPs
l;can nominees on small vote. with
majority ranging from 700 to 1000 against ,
ma but little else than defeat could be rea' i
sonably expected, or in fact was expected.
II WAS very confidently believed by some OF
Mr., Thomas friepds that he would be elect =
ed, though many Of them had no such hope
While there has been a lukewarmneS' Oh
the part Of both parties, the Dem0erA'''
vote has suffered more from this cause 'han
tho Republicau. This is probaniy que 10
the fact that the Republican majority IN Inc
.oon,v b., bars,otare been so heavy against
the Democrats that it discouraged them
from turning out. 1t is enough to say that
-. are beaten, and that the result is largely
dine to the failure Of our friends to 90 to the
polls. In this township and Auma partlcu'
larly. the party didn't poll 1.-THE OF It's
strength, while the vote Of the Republican
party was not greatly less than al previous
elections when q full average vote was poll
ed. Last year this township gave Chopper
GAS votes to Drury 4T3. At the same
election, Hodges, for Circuit Clerk
/ received 574 votes. AS compared with the
: vote for Sheriff then the Republican vote
= now is only about 90 less than the party
> strength; as compared with that for Circuit
Clerk only about 100, while the Democratic
!, vote AZ COMPARED with either of them, IS oV'
err fifty per cent. less than last year had
% our party polled its full strength in this and
a few other towns where the vote has been
a. short our ticket might have been chosen 10
"a tho surnrise Of ourselves and the chagrin OF
Y our opponents.
n Too much credit can not be awarded our
,er energetic candidate for Clerk, Charley fogg'
Had the whole ticket been composed OF such
nd workers, it would undoubtly have been elect
q ss- ed. In the upper towns in which ne II
ri. known and of which he has made thor
led ough canvass, the Republican ma critics are
Ar nearly everywhere cut down, and IN some
yes cases handsomely overcome. lie has done
YES nobly, and deserves the thanks OF the party
YES The defeat of Mr. Thomas will be sourc

d. possibly to the whole county hereafter. II

After fully reviewing the field and coun

doe, bring out our brood Of chickens, but W
vorv reserve them for some future occasion wht
Card fewer of our party friends are called up'
and to mourn. Indeed, to be candid and tell t
; the whole truth, two or three of our most las
J'o chanticleers have the gapes badly and cam

We give below the vote Of the Vario
