In our own county the result, We
are sorry to say, is not SO favorable.
The Republicans in this county have
had more to contend with than any
other portion Of the State. The rail
road bonds question, though it really
has nothing to do with present issues
between the two partiess has beel
made to de work for "Tilden aud re.
form" and has carried the town Of
Bennington and lessened the Repub
lican majority in other towns. Th
Democrats have made very thorough
canvass, even Iammauy politician,
from New York actively helping for
ward the work with their peculiar
tactics, which, by the way, is not very
well calculated to win honest, inteli
gent voters, and will never operate to
any very great extent in this State =
Among the means used was a scurril

late to make any public refutation OF
the charges before election, and the
issuing Of it at that time was only
worthy cf the great party Of reform.
1t is sufficient for the present to say
that the accusations contained ia that
circular are nearly all without a shadow
