News as to the number of votes in this town
ship, for the Prohibition ticket. that came
IRON the two great parties gentleman took
the trouble, day or two since, to recount the
ballots of last fall. Upon examination it was
found that Of the 9S ballots cast for Ludlow
7S had the name Of General Hurst for Senator
lO had the name of W. H. Reed for Senator
and 10 were blank for Senator. We therefore
infer that 20 Democrats of this township voted
for Mr.. Ludlow for Governor. Taking the
| state ticket of 1880 as the basis of a full Re
publican and Democratic vote, we find that the
70 Democratic Prohibitionists are about 10 per
cent. OF the entire number Of the Republicans.
