r, uutChInsOn'S Vote In the District.
oar friend Morris, Of the Richie Gazette,
,igclingL to get in his work on the INTEL.
,se,cgE, and hold it responsible for Mr..
g,;chiasoa defeat. We cannot say that
:. ar. surprised at this exhibition OF feel.
s,or the past Of the Ga:eiI, knowing az
:. i5the state of the editors mind to-
,udi this paper for some time past. The
g,yamea of his charge is the laundering
,ley We pursued toward the Greenback-
..olthe district. l. seems that we ex-
osrI them to return "every man, O. Is.
MEL to your own tents," and forsake the
jeenback organization. This was the
nl appeal ,ha. did the business. This
.,s.ed item, as it were, to leave Bassell
nl comblue On Wilson. At least it would
,prelr so from what Mr.. Morris, OF the
,i!at says. lie produces no figures to
,..Aiu his opiaion, but like all writer's OF
sc.on exercises the license OF sub
s.,u.uy his imagination for the facts.
I,a,much as the lSTELLIoENcER is
more given to dealing with
bets than ligh! literature, we propose to
all brother Morris respectful attention to
nme figures that bear upon the case.
Asl u we have something to say in re.
t'srce to the vote OF this immediate por-
ton OF toe Congressional district. 1t
esus according to the Garstts that "Mr.
HUTCHINSON did not make the gain an.
tapI.ed in such counties as Ohio,
4Igh4ll, Brooke and Hancock" We are
puswha. at loss to know what sort OF o
ann is thus referred to. Mr.. Hutcbin-
% certainly made large gain in this
a1aty upOa any Republican vote ever
s,Iote pol,ed IN it. He got exactly 3,796
rl.es, which was AL votes more than
!ah1 K. Hubbard received two years be-
he-auI Mr.. Hubbard received the
41est vote up to that time that any Re-
publican candidate for Congress ever re-
ceived in the county. Was there any
os then in this county, or any failure to
pile up large gain?
True, Mr. Hubbard had q msiority in
this county, and Mr.. Hutchinson did not.
bat just lo>k a: the aggregate vote. Two
laars ago Col. Wilson only received ISIS
votes in this county, while this time he re-
es.gel 1 $50. He fell to 2,S7S from the
9f!G votes cas-. lor!him in 1876, while Mr..
Hubbard oaly gained bare five votes on
shs vote for Scott in 1876. The year 1876
Es Presidential year, like this one, and
l,5s was not, and this fact made a world
aiiGereace in the aggregate vote cast and
u tue division OF it.
AThe foregoing exhibit is fact number
Ols for brother Morris attention. The
asE. fact is that tho .Greenback vote for
Congress in this county in 1878 was go,
All this time it was 1875. Now how much
0! i. did Mr.. Hutchinson lose and Mr..
wilson gain? I.fell of just 9l, and who
viii say that Mr.. Hutchinson did not got
bis full SHARE OF it? The Greenbackers
asresbouts were not il love with Colonel
wilson this year, aud sny one who doubts
te fact has only to consul. the head men
oltte organization here, At least one oil
hem could un!o.d n tale on this point thai
night be Of interest to brother Morris.
Next, take Brooke county. There Mr..
Hubbard received in 1878 just 3i5 votes
While this year Mr.. Hutchinson received
"a yote,. Col. Wilson's vote in that yesl
vas $50, against G0s this year. In otheI
yords, Mr.. Hutchinson gained 2lg while
COL Wilson gained 1853. Bassell's vote IT
Brooke two years ago was 2lG, and this yesl
It,wSiGl, a fall, off Of 1855. Now who gottht
most Of tina. detection? Mr.. Hutchinson
gt the lArges. Republican vote ever
c1N in Brooke. Scott. who was born and
1sed in Brooke, got 5l5 in 1876, and Mr..
Hutchinson beats his vote By -. Wilson
got 6!l votes that year, whereas this yeaI
he fell Of to Cos.
Again, take Hancock county. Two year,
aio Nj. Hubbard got 423 votes there
lgaiRst All for Wilson aud Il for Basssll
This year Hutchinson got 500, Wilson 4Sl
aad DAssell6. In other words, Mr.. Hut
Crimson gained lG7 votes, while Wilson
sained only ii, and BasselI lost IS. Who
gained or lost by the Greenback detection
IL Hancock? Hutchinson or Wilson, Ir
iha;cOunty, aIso, Hutchinson received the
largest Republican vote ever cast in the
eorUty. Scott had 5?4 in 1873, and Wilson
4!l. 10 other words, Hutchinson gained
t6snd Wilson only 10. How Is that for
gain?
Next take Marshall couEty. There Mr.
Hubbard had / 400 votes in 1878, Wilson
l,O47 and Bassell n. This year Mr.
hutchinson had 2,l95, Wilson 1891 aut
slssell Is. In other words, Hutchinson
EAEed 795 votes, Wilson 544, while BAs
lell iost o. Who rainad or lost by thI
