Over the result OF the elections in
Franklin county, the republicans are feeling
very proud. Two years ago the fusionists
had majority Of almost 800 that majority
has not only been wiped out, but the repub-
licans nov have the county by PIG majority,
a gain IN two years of over 500, We think
the largest relative gain IN the State. In
accomplishing this grand result too much
credit cannot be bestowed upon the Parm-
ington Chronicle which has made a uniform.
consistent, and able fight for honest money
and the principles of the republican party.
Capt. keyes. editor of the Chronicle. also
did very efficient work upon the stump dur
ing the State campaign, his speeches being
well received and highly complimented.-
