will the result be-" is the foremost IN
cuirv bv all who have taken any promi'
men, part in politics. The campaign
bas been an unusually exciting one and
attended on one side especially by the
most unparalleled personal abuse ofthe
leaders of the Republican party. Find
lnQ that the Democratic party could
not consistently pose itself before the
people as a party of reform after having
maue no effort 10 reform in thirty years
o. rover, the tactics of personal Vitu'
narration and abuse of Republicans not
candida tes, were resorted to. This mooe
of electloneering has been productive
Of much acrimonious and bad feeling
INIT what effect it will have upon the
vote next Tuesday cannot be determined
until after the votes have been counted
No exception has been taken TO the
,,baraoter of the candidates of either

4be main with unusually able and good

an advantage. The Republicans have
had the advantage of beluR the earnest
advocates of several needed reforms
while they have suffered by the maIlg-

will no doubt suffer most from the stay

and the Presidential Republican tickt
left the county with "a majority onl!
while the county ticket had an aVerai
