The Findlay Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Hancock County, Ohio) 1870-1881, 1875-10-15
RESULT IN THE COUNTY.

The official returns from this county,
which we publish elsewhere, will be found
interesting reading for Republicans. In
a hard-fought campaign, the Republl-
cans of Hancock have polled two hun
dred and thirteen more votes than ever
before cast in the county, reducing the
majority of four hundred and sixty-five,
for Allen, of two years ago, TO two hun
dred and seventy-four. In the achieve
ment of this result the townships of
Amanda, Portage, Pleasant and Della
ware deserve especial mention. The Re
publicans of other townships doubtless
did their duty as well as these, and, un-
der other circumstances, would likely
have achieved more substantial results.
The election of Alexander Phillips to
represent the county is result Of which
every citizen may be proud. The good
name of the county in our Legislative
halls will be safe in his hands. Mr..
Scott w. Preble, who is elected Clerk of
the Courts, comes highly recommended
from his own section. as will he seen by
an examination of the vote of Pleasant
and Portage townships. 1t is a matter
of sincere regret to Republicans general
ly that Mr.. w. NJ King. for Probate
Judge, was defeated by a few votes. He
made an excellent run, and may well he
proud of the vote be received.
The Republicans of Hancock have
done exceedingly well.

given from 5000 to 10000 majority for
Hayes and the Republican ticket, and

front of the battle for honest money and
free, unsectarian schools. and nobly has
sa.e done her duty The battle has been
Eirree, taxing all the energies and organ

effect upon our State politics was almost

vaDesd the standard OF honest govern
ent. Well done, Ohio.
