THE ELECTION IN BELMONT
COUNTY.

Monday was such a splendid day
for outdoor work, that the farming
community felt more interest general
iy in their spring crops of grain, ETC.,
than they did in the spring crop OF
small offices-so the poll books in the
various towns and townships show an
exceedingly light vote.
In Pease township the entire Repub-
lican ticket was elected except the JUS
tice Of the Peace, but owing 10 the fact
that there were three Republican cam
didates in the field for that Office, our
old friend John Crooks, Esq, the reg
ular nominee was defeated by Alex.
Darrah, Democrat. The following tick
ct was elected by msjorities ranging
from to 13l: Trustees-O. G. Parker,
S. B. Williams, b. McConnaughy;
Clerk. t. Haines; Treasurer-John
l.. Vanpelt; Assessor-J. B. Rowles;
Constahles-Robert Hays, Jas. McCon-
naughy.
In Warren township the contest was
spirited one owing to some local ques-
tions such as the location of a Town
ship House, &C., but the entire Repub-
lican ticket was elected except the can
didate for Clerk, Fl. w. Baker, who
was defeated by Col. Benjamin Mack
all. In the Borough election for Coun-
Gil DR.. Plumley was beaten by one vote
by II. Vance; and the high salary cam
didates for School Board Wm. Smith
and Ii. w. Baker were elected over
John Bradfield and Ii. r. Brown, who
were in favor of reducing school eX-
penses and selling site of town house.
In Democratic York Township, NJ.
NJ. Scott, Republican, received 40 ma
jority over his competitor for Justice OF
Peace; Peter Gitfen, Republican, had
81 majority for Clerk, and j. NJ. Stack
house, Republican, had majority for
Constable-the balance Democratic
ticket was elected.
IN Union as usual, the entire Demo-
cratic ticket was elected except for AS
SCISSOR, and our old friend James Nc
COnaughey walked over the course
with eight majority; two votes defeat
cd the Republican candidate, n. b.
Nichols, for j. p.
In Morristown the contest was chief
ly on the School Boards, and what is
denominated the "anti- Wood ring"
candidates were triumphant.
In Pultney tow nship the Republi-
cans elected their entire ticket except
one Trustee, Treasurer, ard one Con-
stable. In the city election the princi-
pal contest was over Justice of the
Peace, and Joel Strahl, Republican,
made home rum on the notorious
'Bolly Criswell.'
All in all, the Republicans have rea-
son to congratulate themselves on the
substantial victories in all parts of the
county.

OUR present Legislature has done
many things of which the people of
Ohio are not proud. 1t has left undone
every thing that could have redeemed
it. In all its du+ngs and misdoings, its
failures to do and its failures to not do,
it has a: least done one thing for which
Republicans can render unfeigned
thanks-it has made the very name Of
Democracy to stink in the nostril5 OF
the people. For that service much
thanks.
For months its best friends have been
beseecbing of it as the best service it
could do to the Democratic party, that
it would die. 1t has lived, in spite of
these entreaties, until it is a conun-
drum that no man can answer, whether
it can do most harm by dying with all
its sins on its head, or living Oh to fur
Their disgrace its parentage. If it dies
tomorrow it leaves everything undone
that could have excused its coming into
peing; if it lives Oh, it continues an in
tolerable burden On the finances Of the
State.
The people will fix the responsibility
where it belongs-with the entire DEM
ocratic State Administration. 1t is not
a supposable case that Governor Allen
did not have influence enough to con-
troll the Legislature-the supposition
would be an insult TO his popularity
and his capacity for moulding affairs.
We cannot read the record of the State
Administration in any other way, than
with one obvious rendering: 1t came
into power by a scratch, ami it deter
miped to make the most Of its acci-
dental opportunity, well knowing that
it would never have another cnance
The reckless disregard of the public
interests, and the contemptuous snub-
bing of public sentiment, can have no
other explanation. The Legislature
and the State Executive have pillaged
the State government as an army
might pillage a captured city or prov
ince which it did not expect to hold in
possession longer than to go through
it, The Democratic Executive was
forced to testify, on coming into power,
that after twenty years of undisturbed
possession by the Republican party, he
found no symptom of peculation or
fraud in the conduct of the business OF
the State. He was hardly warm in his
seat, before one of the offspring of the
Democratic administration, admins
tering one of the most delicate and re-
sponsible trusts under its charge, be-
came an object of suspicion and inves-
CATION, the result of which was that the
Orphans of our dead Soldiers and Sail
Ors, the peculiar wards of the State,
were shown to have been outraged and
insulted by the man set over them IN
loco PARENTS, and ii became necessary
to expel him from his office. Under
frivolous pretexts, based upon proies-
sional jealousies, the Trustees of one OF

nearly all who saw him thought his recovery
i'm possible. A council OF able physicians could
give US but the Ialhtest hope OF ms ever fally

THE ELECTIONS.
Cincinnati.

April 5.-The election to-day was
very exciting and the vote polled is the
heaviest ever known, There was con-
siderable turbulence at the polls, but
nothing of serious nature is reported

ceiving the heaviest vote. The official

turns from &c out of 81 precints have
been received. johnson, Democrat, for
Mayor, leads Robinson, citizens can
didate by $500 majority. The balance
of the Democratic ticket, except for PO-
lice Judge, has about 2,30O majority.
Lidermans, citizens candidate for PO-
lice Judge in the above mentioned pre-
cincts, has 1900 over Fitzgerald, DEM

The Best Evidence.

be read with interest by many physicians
also those suffering from the same disease as
afflicted the son OF the Rev, Il. 5. Best NOpeT-
son can doubt this testimony, as there is no
doubt about the curative power of NEGE-
TINE,
