H. Our election passed Off with no
more than the bnsual excitement
There was an increased vote on both
sides. The Radicals polling nearly
their entire vote, while the Dem ocrats
had a reserve of fifteen, Of which six
were absent, three were unable to at
i tend election, Two paired and three
were Indifferent The Liberals poll
ed seven votes, and some who voted
the Republican ticket will not vote
for Grant. For several days before
the election it became apparent that
the liberal movement in this vicinity
could not materially reduce the Re-
publican majoritiessg andofor the most
absurd off reasonss / Last fall, Mr..
Greeley spoke to a large audience on
the fair grounds at Garrettsrille. The
South part of Geauga county, the
|, West part of Trumbull county, and
this vicinity, made up that audience.
| Mr.. Greeley's subject was ''Irrigation"
"a very learned and philosophical adj
dress; but probably tofYno-praeticaf
| benefit to this iInme ediate -kieihity-
I But strange and absurd as it may seem
"a large number of voters, heretofore
| of reputed intelligence, have got the
ridiculous idea into their heads, that
| if Mr.. Greeley should be elected Pres
ident, they will be compelled to sink
Wells and erect wind mills ito pump
water fpr irfigationss or that all the
I stfeaH1s in the cohitlN Willsbe da1hl
med For the same purpose. I kROW
Of several persons who are honest and
| sincere in that belief. Another argu-
ment of great weight in Geauga Co.,
(and for aught / know in other local
ities) is, in case Mr.. Greeley is elect
| ed, he will Fe-organizes the Supreme
!. Court in such a manner that the
amendments to the Constitution will
be declared unconstitutional. The
result of the election in that locality
demonstrates the idea, that the greater
! the humbug, the more sure tempo
rary success.
