18TH Upoa The Field OF Battle,
Mother"
The Spectacle Revealed When the Smoke
Cleared Away-Scott for Senator, Jacob
for Judge, Woods, Stifei, Doyener,
and Burt for the House.

The fight Is over. The battle of the bal
lots has been fought and both sides have
counted their slain. Both sides had them
to count, though the Democrats suffered
severely, and lost their leader. Over in
Ohio they are singing their peahs
over Democratic victory; here
they are mourning over a DEM
ocratic defeat. The smoke, has cleared
away from the field and the result begins
to appear more certainly. In Ohio county
the returns, signed and sealed, are piled up
in the Commissioners Office and will be Of
Totally canySssed on Monday next. &
The complete returns from this county,
with the exception Of Adams school
house precinct, in Richie district, will be
found elsewhere. This district gave, in
1880, an average Republican majority of 5.
Il cannot be much changed, and will
therefore make little difference in the re-
suit, which is given without regard to ii.
FOR CONGRESS-
The change in the Fourth ward, the
heavy majority in Madison and the sell in
Richland did the work in the county for
Good. The general falling of, would have
greatly reduced his vote, but the causes
given above produced COTS majority Of
III. The HubbeI fund got in its work
vigorously and the workers it paid had q
very perceptible effect. The official figures
may change this majority very slightly,
but not materially affect il. Ohio county
certsinly went back on Good.
Judge Snyder carried the county by IL.
The main cause of this small majority is
found in the fact that on the labor tickets
the Republicans name was first. When
the ticket was not scratched, the Repnbli-
can was counted.
STATE SENATOR.
SCOTS majority In the county is so, and
in the district win reach upwards Of l50
This is somewhat of surprise. A promi-
nent Republican said yesterday that Scott
was put on the ticket because no one else
could be thought OF. He is new
man." said he, (which was in
his favor" Scott has made q brilliant
record in, say Council, and his friends ex'
pect something great OF him. Inc Ter
mans say he is pledged against prohioition,
come what will. A long residence in this
county and fond familiarity with the
wants of the State and neighborhood will
make him of peculiar value in the con-
sentative branch Of the Legislature. He
must have been in the State at least three
years. -

Caldwell this time. When Gov. Jackson

yer, and is very popular with his friends.
The objection urged against him was his
positiyism and the fact that he and judge
Boyd were brOthers-in-law.
THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
Honors are easy on the legislative ticket.
Messrs. Woods, St'fe,. Dovene- and Burt
will represent the county in the next
House Of Delegates. Burt ran like wild
buck ana carried the heaviest vote. He
was on the Labor ticket aud was
hOnored by the Republican NOM
ination. DOVener received very
handsome vote, he and Woods running
along together, with Stifel a little ahead.
Yesterday morning, the vote Of Richland
made some few fear Woods was defeated,
but the fear was groundless. Myles was
closed behind. but lacked the few neces-
sary to an election. The labor ticket polled
j very respectable vote.

change. Instead of being tie, the pOliti-
cal complexion will be Democrats and
