Columbus Journal: The following COM
parison of votes cast on the 9Th inst. for
member of Congress. with the vote of
two years ago, will be found interesting.
In the First district, Saylor, Democrat,
has 2jI0s less votes than were given him
in October, 1876, and is beaten by But
terworth, Cwho has 6I8 votes less than
General Force, the former opponent of
Sayler. In the Second district Goss, DEM
ocrat, has 2,193 less votes than, his prede-
cessor, Banning, received, and is beaten
by General Young, Republican, who has
i, ,l44 less votes than were cast for Stanley
Matthew'S That is, the vote in the first
two districts shows a falling off of 6,063
on the Republican candidates. Nine hun
dred and seventy-nine votes were divided
in the'two districts between five irregular
candidates, leaving 5 ,094 voters of 1876 in
Hamilton. county who did not put in an
i appearance at the polls in 1873. In the
Nineteenth district, which remains un
changed by the gerrymander, except that
Portage county was taken off and Maho-
ming added, Gen. Garfield has a majority
this year of 8 9,613 against his mojority tive
years since of 8, ,66O-an increase of nearly
one thousand. The difference between
the majorfties given for the Republican
candidates for Congress in the two eOun-
ties of Portage and Mahoning last week
was only 169 votes, so that Garfield's gair
may be set down at a little over 800 over
, his majority two years ago:
