BELMONT COUNTY.
Republican sheriff and Survey OF
Elected.

We present below the official summary of
the vote in Belmont county, showing Re-
publican gain over last year of 25S votes, COM
pairing with the vote on Supreme Judge, or
S12 on that of Secretary of State, and the
election ora Republican Sheriff by small
majority, and surveyor.
Although the Republicans did not succeed
in the election of all their candidates, they are
gratified with the favorable result so far as il
goes, and have reason to be proud Of the gall
lant fight they made for good local officers
and sound money. Especial pressure was
made against our candidate for Probate Judge
in the river townships, and the most disrepu.
table means were resorted to, to effect the
election of his opponent. The Bellaire City
Republican organization was headed by a
brother of the Democratic candidate, an ex.
Sheriff of the county. For the present We
| leave our readers TO draw their own conclu-
sions as to the advantages gained for the
Democratic nominee in that important city,
through this position. Tallman, the Republi
can nominee, made gallant run at home, wi
ping out Democratic majority of 129 against
him, and securing 1873 majority in his favor
an endorsement OF which his friends may wei
feel proud. Without further comment We
give the following summary:
