The Republicans never gained a more i'm
portani victory than that gained on the 2nd
inst. The country will settle to the con-
viction that the results Of war against re-

There have been Irregularities in the |
holding of the election in this county. Men |
have voted who should not have voted, and |
papers have not been properly made out
all of which must be reformed in the future,

test of election. Some one who may be
defeated by small majority will contest
the election, and that will straighten out
the respective election boards. The coun-

not properly filed out, were not inten-
tionally filed out as they are. The mistake
is the result of carelessness and ignorance,
but such work gives bad men a chance to
fuss, and agitate the ignorant and unsus-
pecting classes.

when the papers were looked for they were
not there. A railroad man found the papers
1t the head of the railroad yard and re-
urued them to the Dispatcher's office, and
hey were delivered to Thompsontown and
van-Wert by private conveyance on Thurs
lay. A detective might look in on the 329
