Fusion County Ticket
elected by from IS to
200 votes.
ALL ELSE is WELL

The election, last Monday, resulted
in a great surprise to the fusionists Of
Maine With a majority of $1,000
last year, the combined opposition Ia d
no doubt of a victory in this contest.
1t was known by them, however. that
the Republicans would putforth strong
efforts to defeat them. Therefore
they strained every nerve to conquer
The insignificant result Of their ef-
fort shows that the people DO not
appreciate the efforts made so kindly
u Their behalf The Republicans have
gained control of both Senate and
House. while at this writing, it is prob
able that they have elected Davis Gov
ernor by the people Weare certain
of Is Senator's out Of 81. and proba
bly, have 10. In the House we shall
probably have 50 TO Ga good work
ing majority Is certain
While the result in Maine is so en-
couraging, the vote in Oxford County
particularly partakes of the same char
acter, though the result here Is not SO
satisfactory. IN tins county the OPP
position majority last year was ia
This year the combined majority on
Governor is but $50 with one town.
Upton, TO be heard from. Thus the
majority has been reduced over one
half during single campaign.
Our county ticket shows even bet
ter than this. Judge Walker Is de
feated by only about so votes, and the
other candidates range from that up TO
175. The whole Republican County
ticket is thus defeated
Our returns, last week, indicated a
small Republican majority. All prom
ised additions were made to our
strength. but the reserve force Of the
opposition was larger than our canvass
showed
On the Representative ticket, we
have lost two districts, by fusion Our
delegation stands to 3 Last year
it was Z tol One Of the most salts
factory results Is the defeat of Dr.
0. y. Bradbury and the New Religion
crowd, by Just votes. One Of the
deepest causes of regret Is the cleo
ton Of Moses Chesley from the Ok
ford district. The fusion has notmuch
to be proud Of, in several of their
officers.
Oxford seems to be the banner town,
having changed its vote from PCS
fusion and 136 Republican, last year,
to l91 Republican and 1S9 fusion, this
year, a gain of "a on the Governor
vote.
There is not time to publish other
special town gains, in this extra paper.
We may mention them next week.

ELI ICES CASE.

Mr.. Editor
suppose the days are gone by when
people are ready to say to our President
las King David's servants said TO HIM
"thou art worth ten thousand of us, but
are more inclined to say, one man is as
good as another. In the eye of the law 1t
is so; but if the judiciary OF the State OF
West Virginia or any other State should
arrest our President, and put him in prison
for life, or hang him, rs they would have
the same right TO do, should we be as UNI
concerned about it as we are in reference
to Eli Ice-the ex-Union soldier who is
now incarcerated for doing his duty, while
showing his patriotism, by exposing his
life, that we may enjoy the blessings of
peace and prosperity with which we are
now surrounded Can it be that as peo-
pie or government, we are willing to let
the nations of the earth know that we al
low such an outrage to go unpuuished'
Would we allow il in any other people on
the face of the globe? Should we not be
called TO arms to avenge such an outrage'
There are many of us who were so situated
during the war that we could not go to the
front to help save the country from de-
struction, that would now be willing to
shoulder the musket, and punish this in
sulting outrage. PATRIOT
