THR LAST TICKETS.
Shortly before midnight last night the
count OF the ballots voted in this county
on Tuesday last was concluded, the judges
in Madison district finishing their work to
their own great relief and the great
satisfaction Of q multitude Of anx-
inns inouirers who were waiting |
for their verdict. There was some
criticism over their slowness, but It
will be remembered In extenuation OF
ile DELAY that none OF them ever had any
experience as cashiers In circus ticktt
wagons. or as lightnit Z calculators in side
shows, and that they had their own BUSH
ness 10 attend 10 as well as the business
OF the public. When our lawmakers, In
their wisdom, see ct TO change the election
law so that the vote as 1t pro.
crosses shall be announced every
hour, the time may come when
the public will not be obliged to wait
until the third day after the election before
they can tell how the vote in one precinct
OF their own city has gone.
As 1t is, the revised tables and lists
which we publish in this mornings issue,
will show the result clearly enough for all
practical purposes, although some OF the
pIecinct returns on minor Offices are neces.
sarily omitted. Some OF the officers In
charge seemed TO have been imbued with
the idea that lie sentence in the Peni-
Tertiary awaited them unless they got the
lists and tally sheets 10 the boxes and
under seal before the ink on them was
drv, and acted on this idea, leaving the re-
porters 10 break open the boxes or get the
news from chance memoranda kept by the
clerks, ss they happened TO see fit. There
is no necessity for any such haste and .
decent regard for the convenience and
rights Of the public oughtto preventit.

With these remarks, the writing OF
which makes US feel a good deal better,
we furnish the results Of one Of the most
spirited and earnestly fought political con-
tests ever waged in this county. The vote
Ian the amendments. although not given
inlly. shows that both were carried by
large majorities in the county, as they
doubtless were carried throughout
the State. The vote on the State
ticket shows that the Democratic can.
ldidates for State Offices carried the county
by the usual majorities, Auditor Miller
apparently securing the highest. vote
Mr. Donehoos mHjority, taken In connec'
ton with his vote reported from BROOKE
and Hancock, makes him the next State
Senator from this Senatorial District, and
Judge Melvin seems TO have been re-
taiued in the First Judicial District
whether the Judicial amendment Is
adopted or not. Should the amendment
prevail, all the indications point TO the
selection OF Robert Mcdonnell, Esq., as
the other judge in this circuit.
In the contest for members OF the LIE.
gIsature, Mr.W. P. Hubbard seems at this
writing to have been plucked as brand
from the burning, the bulk Of the scratch
ing done by the Democrats having been
done in his favor TO the detriment OF Mr.
Morgan, the country candidate on the
Democratic legislative ticket. Dir. Brown
seems to lead the list Of msjorities attained
by the other nominees Of the last Demo-
ctatic county convention, and the district
officers are pretty equally divided between
Republicans and Democrats.
As iorthe Greenbackers, their organiza'
ltion in this county seems to have gone
Iplimmering on Tuesday last, as the high
est vote reached by any candidate on the
ticket will scarcely exceed hundred.
VIEWS ON THE RESULT.
The most general expressions concern
ling the result, were numerous howls from
both Democrats and Republicans over the
success OF the three successful Demo.
cratic candidates for the Legislature, and
regrets over the impiobability OF Judge
Boyd being promoted to Circuit judge.

| THE GENERAL FEELING.
Taking the situation as whole, last
night, the internal economy Of the Re-
publicans seemed to be in more com.
Portable condition than that OF the Demo-
cratic brethren. The former had the sat
isiaction OF ell cling the greater part OF
their county ticket, but 1t seemed to be
not much more OF qualification than

Some OF them had wasted their substance
by banking too heavily on the Registers

forced and unpleasant tussle with the win

brethren over the line, but the rain de.

on the Hempfeld completed their misery,
and compelled their retirement.
On the other hand, the Republicans,
encouraged by the outside advices, were
feeling az easy as an old shoe over the
home situation, and when the news came
that the Democratic Executive Committee

tour years, they came near having the pro-
