The result in Carroll on the county
ticket is q surprise 10 all, Those who were
parties 70 the well-laid plan to defeat the
Democratic and elect the Republican ticket
are surprised at their own failure. Demo
Gratis who were unconscious Of the scheme
are amazed at the result. Democrats who
heard off, at the eleventh hour, are equally
amazed at the Democratic triumph.
The plan Of treachery and fraud was
carefully considered, and contemplated a
defeat Of the whole Democratic ticket ex-
ccpt State officers BY means Of fraudu.
lent tickets and money Democratic con-
spirators, combined with Republican,
hoped for, aud were confident Of, victory.
They had prepared to do in every district
what was done in Woolery's. Had they
succeeded elsewhere as well as they. did
there, victory would have crowned their
efforts, but fraud would have been written
al over them as il marks the present ex-
ccutiye at the national capitol.
We are not in possession Of all the facts
concerning the bargain and sale between
the sham Democrats aud inscriptions Re
publicans, nor are all the parties to il pos
itiycly known. We know, however, that
some 800 or more fraudulent Democratic
tickets we're circulated, and some Of them
were voted. They contained the names
Of the State Democratic nominees, with
the deceptive device of jackson and
Liberty on ii, and the entire Republican
county ticket We know, too, that money
was lavishIy spout in order to get them
voted, and much more was offered but re.
fused. The traitors on the one side and
abettors of fraud on the other, however,
missed their mark. Devoid Of manliness
and houor, they measured others by their
own standard, and approached those who
not only scorDed the offer but gave warn
ing of the plot The warning was only
received at the eleventh hour, but it was
speedily needed and steps taken to thwart
the scheme and save the ticket.
We know not 10 what terms to eharac-
teri1e such pcrfdy. Language scarcely
contains words equal to the occasion. To
say it was base ingratitude and a lack Of
honor and principle on one side, aud a
disgraeeIul bargain and intent to deceive
on the other, would not adequately express
the honest sentiments Of honest men.
The means used by the conspirators,
and the cOnspirators themselves, will not
long remain in secrcsy. All will come to
light, aud the perpetrators of the foul
scheme to thwart the will Of the people
win be held up to the public gaze that
they may be despised and scorned BY all
honest men. Some are known, and sns-
picion points with almost uuerring Ger
tainty to others.

Among the prominent workers at the polls
we noticed DIR. J. W. Steele, Judge Manro,
Frank Shipley, JOS. W. Berret and Chas. r.
Favour, whose whole effort appeared to be
TO carry the entire ticket. A profound sen.
sation was produced by the publication Of
Col James Fenner Lee as a traitor TO the
party. Some we're willing to doubt the asser
ton, but when they saw such names as Rob
erts, Henning and Norment, signed to the
papers, all doubt was dispeled. But two
tickets, gotten up by Lee and his Republican
friends, were presented here, and were traced
to package brought by Lewis II. Knox,
Candidate for House of Delegates on the Re.
publican ticket.

Review Of the Election.


The battle is fought, the victory Won,
and the smoke of the contest having clear
cd AWAY We may now take asursoy o. the
Geld In many respects the late can.
vaxs was the most remarkable one ever
known ia this county. It was intensely
active aud intensely personal, as far as it
could be made so, and the most extraordi-
nary means we're resOrted to by our oppO-
nents to compass their ends. Il is not
necessary for US to recount them, the
public are as familiar with them as we
are. Money was used without stint, and
its effects were seen aud felt in the meagre
majoriiies Of several of our candidates.
We entered the race, also, heavily handi-
capped, in several respects, but these dis
advantages are but temporary. 10 addi-
ton to the unusual weight the party had
to carry, it was assailed by the basest
treachery among some Of those who bad
co-operated with it and received
its honors and emoluments, And yet, out
of it all We have emerged with the loss Of
but one man, man who made most gal
liant fight in his own district, but was
stricken down in the house Of his friends.
The sentiment Of the party is that there is
yet in store for him less adverse fate.
The Democratic party is not insensible of
its obligations to its tried aud trusty ad-
herents The hand Of fortune will yet
open to him the largess Of success. Let
US close up the ranks, repair the breach,
and again present serried aud unbrOken
front to the foe. The great battle Of 1880
approaches. Let every Democrat grid on
his armor for the conflict.

referred to was an editorial in the Demo-

editor, dcnouncing the conduct of certain
"Keicrmers who participated IN the re-
form movement of 1875. What were our
honest, ou,spoken convictions and opinions
then, are the same now. The republica-

last six or eight weeks, designed to pre-
judice the writer Of it, who was candi-
date Cor the State Senate at the election
just closed, has been answered at the polls
BY the Democracy of Carroll, by MAORI
y about equal to the average majority in
the county for the last twelve years. But
for the base per6dy perpctratod towards
the county ticket in Woolerys district,
the majority would have been quite up to
that Of former years. Do you ask "How
is it now ?" neighbor? We nnswer-just
as it has always been. Honest, intelli-
