1t will he seen that the Democrats
elect their Clerk by 2l7 majority,
and Recorder by majority Of five
votes, and also elect Capt. Blain as
Supervisor. We elect Mr. Gose and
Mr.. Collins as Supervisors by ii to
% over Davis and Fisher. In pur-
suance of law, the new Supervisors
elect drew lots OH Tuesday afternOo
for length Of terms, and Mr.. Cos .
urew the one-yenr term, Mr.. Cosiir $
the two-year term, and Capt. Blain
the three-year ternL
While heartily glad that out of the
wreck We have saved. two of the Su-
pervisors, even by so small ln:j.ri-
ties, we cannot but feel that the
general result is q Waterloo defeat
for the Republican party in this
County. But the ballot decides, and
whatever their feelings, all must
submit to its ruling. The Democrats
are jubiiant, Of course; and their
organ, though not SO abusive rs we
had expected, crows over Us loudly.
The immediate cnuses of our de-
feat this year are, plainly enough,
that Republicans didn't turn out to
the polls, while the Democrats did,
and were aided by u good deal of
Republican scratching. The Interior
causes Of this are several, but we are
hardly in the mood to discuss them
now. The result If ono we were not
prepared for, and 1t surprises us ev-
eryway. 1t consoles ms, however, to
reflect that we laborcl in nll honest
and to the best Of our
ability for Republican triumph;
and the fault OF the defeat Is not ours.
To be beaten by Democrats we could
stand in all good heart; but to see
the Republican ticket, composed a.
OF good, solid men rs II was, "a zen
as it was.by Republican az ..thy and
Republican scratching. IS. to say tho
least, decidedly depr .ssiLg.
But the prip -lpl<s remain The
same, and We shall still remain filth
full to thP.n, giving always hereafter,
as he. .tciore, our best endeavOrs for
ttcir success. f.nd We must stiP.
cherish the hope that the disaste'. Of
this year will he remciDberei. Ms n
lesson, and Q stimulus With shall
urge. the Republican po:ty In this
County on to full and glorious vic
tory in 1871.
