The Election in Hartford.
The Democrats Again Victorious.
ANOTHER MARINE DISASTER.

ANU DlhhlNE IL.
The beneficial effects ofthe law prohibiting
the sale of liquor on election day, was agar
out the county on Tuesday. The entire mum
Der of votes polled amounted to 400, being
an increase of 210 over the vote at the gener
al election in 1871 The Democratic vote OF
Tuesday was 2451, and the Republican vote
1892 In 1877 the Democrats polled 244(
votes and the Republicans ,473. The Demo
cratic increase over 1877, amounts to II
votes, while the Republican vote is increased
119. The Democratic majority in 1877 OF
the State ticket was 900. This year il is 7SS
on the State ticket, being decrease of 202
On the county ticket the Democrats have ma
jorities ranging from 7S0 to 800.
A great amount ofapathy existed among the
Democrats, who regarded the election of theil
candidates as certain, and therefore did not
take the trouble to vote This is apparent
from the fact that at the Democratic primary
1850 votes were polled in the county, sc
more than were cast ON Tuesday. Some OF
the voters who assisted at the Democratic
primaries may have violated their pledges to
support the Democratic ticket, and voted the
Republican ticket on Tuesday, but we do moi
believe the number is great.
The Republicans made short canvass, hay.
ing delayed their nominations to await the
result of the taxpayers movement. Not
withstanding, they made an active campaign
especially among the colored voters, who re,
sponded once more to the call and voted
as solidly as ever for the Republicans.
Considerable dissatisfaction was caused
through the carelessncss of some of the Regis
tiers in emitting from the poll books the names
= of qualified voters. In some cases men who
have voted at every election for more than
forty years and known to the judges as legal
voters could not vote because their names
had not been transferred from the registry
list to the poll books. More than twenty vo-
tiers, the most of whom were Democrats, were
thus disfranchised in Bel Air precinct A
thorough revision of the lists is necessary, and
it is doubtfol if correct registration list can
be made without new registration.
The Republican tickets used in this county
were sent here by the State Committee The
nlmc of James II. Ball, candidate for Judge
OF the Orphans Court was printed James
Fl. Bull" The error was discovered and cor
rected in some of the districts, but in others
the tickets were voted as they were received.
In consequence of this error no votes were
counted for Mr.. Ball in the second and sixth
districts and the error was only corrected on
fifteen Republican tickets out of 1914 at
Dublin.
The votes cast and counted for ".Iamcs III
Bull" were as follows: Halls X Roads, 243;
Jarrettsvile, 10; Dublin, 119; Stearns', 90 ;
Havre de Grace, 1880. Total G55. The num-
Ball." was $50. Together they maks sos,
which is the full Republican vote intended,
no doubt, to be cast for Mr. Ball
The Greenbackers made poor showing.
In Havre de Grace, Howard Meeks, for Gov
ernor; b. e. Smith, for Comptroller; L.
Swlnncy, for Attorney General, and e. j.
Simpson, for Clerk of the Court of Appeals,
received each eleven votes.
