republican party had 2l4 of 285 votes in

after Mr.. Grant had run" his strong
government for eight years, the republican
party had l73 votes out of 1863. In other
words, the strength of the republican
party in the college was IS per cent. when

The following which we take from the

what we like to learn it gives information
of the contemplated action of our demo-
cratic friends in Henry county, and shows
they are fully alive to the Importance of
the contest and propose to engage in It in
the most thorough and efficient manner.
At the meeting of the democratic GEN.
trial committee of this county, held IN
Cambridge to-day, it was decided to make
a thorough canvass Of the county In the
interests of our ticket, The Galva district
will comprise the townships Of Galva. We'll
Ter, Clover and Oxford, and it is intended
to hold meetings in nearly every school
house 10 those districts before the close of
the campaign. The remainder OF the
county has been similarly districted and
the canvass throughout will probably be
the most thorough that has ever been
made by the democracy.
Our county is so situated as 10 be dis
tricted to especial advantage, LAT least
three districts could be formed where the
work Of the committees would be natural
and advantageous. Committee work to be
done effectively should DO performed BY
persons familiar with individual voters,
their political proclivities, and in places
where the necessary committee work car
be most advantageously applied.

work is worth while to be done at ali il 4
