A Supervisor of Elections Needed in a
Somerset County Town.

Somerset County Town.
AUGUSTA, Sept. 16.-Returns of the legisla-
tive election have been received from all the
Senatorial districts and from all the Represen-
tative districts except one, and the results are
as follows: In the Senate the Republicans
have chosen 10 members, the Democrats and
Greenbackers combined have chosen II. In
the House of Representatives the Republicans
have chosen 80 members the Democrats and
Greenbackers combined have chosen 60, and in
one district the result is in doubt.
The Republican majority on joint ballot will
be 81. Under the Constitution the Legislature
on Joint ballot chooses the executive councillors
and all other state officers.
1t is reported that in the town of Canaan III
Somerset county, the vote returned is % in ex-
cess of the legal number of voters as shown by
the poll list. The town gave large Demo-
cratic majority, and should its entire vote be
vitiated it would make the Senatorial vote very
close in Somerset county, and possibly add
to the Republican majority in the Senate.
