The Election i'm Hartford.

The election on Tuesday passed off in a
quiet, orderly manner. The poll books pre-.
pared by the officers of registration were I'M
usually accurate, and very few persons were
deprived of their votes by reason of errors in
the registration or poll books.
The vote polled was 352 less than that cast
at the Presidential election last year and ITO
more than the vote of 1888, when Turner,
Democrat, for Comptroller, received 2991
and Mullikin, Republican, 1886 votes. Total
in 1888 $780, against 5,4S6 cast this year.

majority in Hartford was COG.

Democrat, has $3.50 votes, and Marine his
Republican opponent, received 2,4O4 votes.
Jones' majority, 6S5 Mr.. Marine ran about
100 votes ahead of his ticket, owing to the
fact, doubtless, that this county is his home
and he is personally popular.

cans upon Capt. A. Lingan Jarrett, the Dem,
ocratic candidate for Clerk of Court, but he
won by majority OF 3OO.

candidate for Sheriff, was made the object of
a combined attack by the Republicans and
the Temperance Alliance, but was elected by
415 me iorily. Mr.. Carman has had long ex-
perience as deputy sheriff, and will perform
his duties faithfully. No one need doubt his
determination to do everything required of
him by his oath of Office.

candidate for Register of Wills, leads the en-
tire ticket, He rolled up the splendid major
ity of 1,016, his vote being 3,257 against 2 2241
cast for Mr.. Darlington Hopes, Republican.
