1t iH curious that the aggregate vote for, Gov
cr1or varied 30 little from that two. yoars ago,
while the relative vote for tho opposing Tickets
WAS almost reversed. Tho vote this fall Was
43,6l5 loss than In tho last Presidential CAM
pagn, and 45,G08 less than In 1868. Tho oppo-
stion candidate tor President last yoar, and tho
Opposition candidate for Governor two years
ago. we're both distastofu1 to the Democracy,
and thousands Of them failed to vote, many Of
whom came out this year. ,
EXAMINING TIE VOTES ny COUNTIES,
it will DO soon that, in counties where thore WAS
largo proportionate German vote,-as in
Brown, Buffalo, Fond du Lac, Manitowoo, Alil-
waukeo, Outagamio, Racine, Sank, sheboygan,
Waukesha, aud Winnobago which consider
ablo number had heretofore voted tho Republican
ticket, thero WAS evidently q transfer Of large
number Of votes to the Opposition. In Eau
Olaire, Pierce, and one or two other counties,
thero was transfer Of yotes on local iBsues.' As
to most OF tho rest Of the State, the Republican
defeat WAS largely the result Of Republicans
staying at home. =
THE VOTE Fon DIFFERENT CANDIDATES
on the respective tickets shonB some singular
results. Gov. ,Washburn, generally pronounced
"tho best Governor the State ever had" IN Ex-
ecutiye of groat ability raro independence, and
who had. shown himself tho special friend
Of the people in their struggle against
monopolies, thoroughly known aud high
sly respected as . man, and IN officer,
receives leaa votes than any one olso Ho Ind
-.
The liquor interest was specially hostile to him,
OF tho Graham Temperance law and in tho
northwestern part OF the Stnto, his supposed
friendship for the West Wisconsin Hallway, anil
his refusal to joopurdzo the interests Of tic Bt,
therein, in order to accommodate the Chippewa
Valley intereat incurred eniuity. MIR. Baker, for
lleutonant- Governor, WHO was by many regarl-
cd tho weakest candidate on tho Republican
ticket was vol taken caro- Of by tho railroad in-
publican ticket, excopt friaby, for ~ Attor- tor,
noy- General, who, by getting splendid homo
indorsemont IN tho strong Democratic counties
IN the nelghborhood Of lia residence, auceeadod
in running Mr.. Sloan, who was ono Of the ableat
men on the Reform tiokot. below any Of his as-
aociatos. Again My. Graham; who had travelled
posted on and identified with the publie-soioo1
intereHts OF tho State, and tho choice Of its
toachers, on whom the candidacy waa fairly
forced, and whoso opponent, though scholar
and estlmablo gentleman, was not public
school man, docs not run much better than the
average of his ticket. Col, johnson, wlioao
nomination WAS urged to propltiate tho Nor
wogians, and contributed largely to alionate tho
dermans. and who was atrongly objeused to as
candidate, ran we'll up with tho ticket. .
Il THE CHANGERS,
aB body, did not cast their strength on either
side. III aomo localtioH, as in tho vicinity Of
Mr. Taylor'a home, IN thia county, some local
.Graugea wont pretty solltlly for him In a few
,localiliea they voted almost unanimously for
GOV. WasAburn, but, for tho most part, tloy
lvotod thoir regular politics. Whilo tho liquor
finterost raised largo sum to defeat Gov. Wash-
burn, gotne Good-Tomplars voted and worked
tor Taylor because his vito was ono Of them,
