Handsome Increase In lIer Republican
rotc-Democrnts Make n,Smnll Showing.
PrstoH County Journal.
In 1880, Preston county, Gen. Garfield
received 2,SlS votes, and Gen. Hancock
received 1885 votes Gafiield's majority,
l,0l3.
In 1854, Blaine received 1925 votes,
and Cleveland received 1916 votes
Blaine's majority, 1910.
But in 1851, tho fight in Preston coun.
ty on the Republican side was made at
the State election in October, and the
majority Of the Republican candidate
ior Governor was 1891.
In lSSS, Harrison received 1905 votea,
and Cleveland l,i0l votes; Harrison's
majority, 1896.
Thus, in eight years the, Republican
majority increased from 1,0l3 to 1854,
or nearly GO per cent. Butthe increase
in population in these eight years was
only about 5 per cent. (for the whole
decade the increase is only % per cent.
The total vote Of the county, in these
eight years, increased from ssh to 4,4S9.
In this period, the Republican vote
increased from 2,SlS to 1905, or oyer
27l per cent. The Democratic vote in
creased from 1885 to l,l0l, Or n little
over 9 per cent only.
We suppose that no other county in
the State has increased its Republican
majority, in proportion to the increase
in population, as has the old Banner
county.
