Except County Court Clerk, are elected
by handsome majorities.
Our gallant candidate for Circuit Court
Clerk, John W Wolf, has carried the county
by 200 or over The majority for the new
Constitution will be about 200.
The Radicals made desperate struggle,
and they die hard death.
l must not omit to mention the fact that
great credit is due to the colored people of
our county for coming up boldly to the
ballot-box and casting their suffrage for the
new Constitution and for the ConSerVa-
tives.
Perfect order and good feeling reigned
throughout the whole county.
Our county is Overwhelmingly opposed
to reconstruction indeed there are very
few persons who advocate it, and they are
composed of Radical office holders and
office-seekers.
The Republican Comfy Court Clerk
elect, Joseph r. Armstrong, Esq, is openly
opposed to reconstruction.
