The REGISTER this morning publishes in
compact tabulattd form the complete vote
of Ohio county, from President to As
SCISSOR.

sheets, revised, and may be taken as ALSO,
luieiy correct, with tie single exception
Of Valley Grove precirc'.
In taking the vote for President, w. G.
Handlan was taken from among the Demo'
cratic ElseNors, and Augustus Pollock from
among the Republicans, as fairly indicating
the average votirg Of the several precincts
The various electors upon the tickets did
not vary more than half a dozen votes IN
any case, and in some precincts they ran
along wen clear through. Generally, the
variation was about three votss, sometimes
upon one name ard sgsiu upon others.
In Valley Grove precinct tie figures are
not from the tally sheet direct, which II
still locked up in the vault in the office OF
the Board of Commissioners, awaiting CIR
rscsop, but is from what purports to be q
cory of that tally sheet, taken before Mr..
Jordan took charge oft. There is little rea
SON to doubt the correctness of the figures
given for the precinct, but it is we'll enough
to make the explanation.

This is q magnificent record. Bo:dle
had no charms for the people Of Wheeling,
and they stood up for the right in q man
ner which entities them to all praize.
Now that the excitement is blowing over,
q dozen instances of the use Of mcnsy to
corrupt voters have come to light, but 10
every case the Democrats, whom 1t was
attempted to corrupt. stood firm and voted
the ticket straight. Here the most
despei ate attempts were made by the Re-
publicaus, to get in their work" by fair
means or foul, but the voters refused to
be controlled. They had studied up the
situation, knew what was right, and what
was best for their Interests, and they
determined to maiutsin the Democratic
standard in it's accustomed place, at al
hazards. This they have done. Th'
| REGISTER yesterday pointed out some o
the districts where the Democracy die
noble work. There are Others which weri
not enumerated. Centre is ore of them
and Webster is another. In each OF thes,
precincts the usual msjorities were yer,
largely increased, and the enemy routed
horse foot and dragons. 1t was 10 tn
splendid organic alton of those district
that much of the credit is due, but alta
all, the intelligence Of the people and thti
recognition that the Democratic eau e wa
the right ons, was the chief factor IN roll
ing up the msj,Iities.
Hurrah for glorious cid Ohio county ant
her sturdy Democracy.
