The Morning New8 says: "The cleo
tiOn yesterday has resulted, so far as
can be learned from the very meagre
reports, with the usual Democratic vic
tory. The vote was very light, not
more than about 90 per pentum of the
total. One-fOurth of the Republicans
in the State were DISTINGUISHED
and not more than half the rest turned
out in this city and in most of the hun
dreds. There was much Democratic
apathy in Wilmington, but there were
many among the Lore followers who
were also disfranchised. There was not
much " cutting" as had been predicted
but less in this county than in Kent
and Sussex"
In Blackbird hundred the maiorities
were for Biggs, 81; Pennington, 10Y:
the Legislative branch 119 and John A.
Latta, Temperance Reform candidate
for Levy Court, IA majority.
In Appoquinimink hundred Biggs
had 100 majority Pennington, 1856;
Legislative branch 149 and Geo. c.
Rothwell, Levy Court, lib. Mr.. Roth
wells majority in the two lower hun
dreds is 90.
At Middletown the poll was 100
short, all the Republicans except the
Temperance men staying away. The
majority for Biggs was 128; Penning-
ton, 107 and for the Legislative ticket
1875, The vote for sheriff was Lamb
son, 22S; Chambers, 8 Hukill 151.
In Little Creek hundred Biggs' ma
jority is 1877. The number of Demo-
cratic tickets voted were 1911 ; Temper
ance Reform, SO; combination, 20.
The Republicans largely staid away.
Kenton hundred gave Biggs Ill ma
jority.
Milford hundred, 80 Democratic.
South Mqrderkill gave a Democratic
majority of 295.
We have no definite information
from Dover, North Murderkill and
MispilliOn hundreds, but the under
standing is that like all the rest thev
have gone largely Democratic. We had
arranged for telegraphic dispatches
from Georgetown and Wilmington
a despatch received at 2.3O gives the
following returns from Sussex county:
SMYRNA TIMES, Smyrna, Del.-Dem-
ocratic majority for Biggs Broadkiln,
80; Little Creek, 300; Dagsboro, 113:
Georgetown, 80; Broad Creek, 100:
GumbOrO, 103; Indian River, "a for
HOffecker. Democratic Legislative
ticket gets about half their majority.
Republicans In few hundreds worked
faithfully for Reform ticket but in
others they were hands off because In
depents would not fight openly.
