Yesterday morning the Board of
County Commissioners resumed the
work of tabulating the vote Of the
county and it was completed yester-
day afternoon about four o'clock, ex-
cept making the additions. which is
purely clerical work.
The table of returns published by the
Register the second morning after the
election was compared with the Off
cial figures yesterday after the Board
of Commissioners adjourned, with the
aid Of Commissioners Menkemeuer and
Robinson, and the publication was
found to have been very accurately
made in the first instance-much more
so than the InteHigencer's figures. This
morning the corrected table is repub-
lished for future reference. and all in
terested in Ohio county politics should
file away a copy. Extra copies may be
had at this Office.
In the complete returns Of the coun-
ty there are Il scattered votes for the
Prohibition ticket, which do not ap-
pear in the table Adding together the
votes cast for the three Presidential
candidates and the II Prohibition
votes, a total of 1855 is reached. In
addition there was at least one defec-
tive ballot in each of the fifty-fve pre-
clncts of the county. which brings the
total number of men who went TO the
polls in this county up 10 1870. and
TO this must still be added the men who
presented themselves as voters. but
who We're challenged and rejected.
Adding these to the others a grand
total of just about 1900 is reached.
Mckinley has a majority of 1,704
over Bryan. DOvener a majority Of

tor the faith that is in them All this is
natural enough. Men desire things to go
their way, and cling tcnaciously to the
idea that they will do so as long rs a YES
tige of hope remains. Thus each side, in
the present political controversy, has its
enthusiasts vehemently opposed to the
election of Mckinley or Bryan, rs the
case may he. What Il man wishes does
not always happen, however, rs too many
find TO their sorrow; hence it is in
the election next Tuesday, as little preju-
dice and partisanship as possible should
be allowed to enter into them. Republic
can leaders claim that Mckinley will re-
ccive at least 272 electoral.votes, aud the
Democratic managers are just as sure
that Bryan, and not the Republican nom
inee, will receive that number or more.
When estimates are so widely apart as
these it is evident that one sidessat least
has not fully digested the situation, and
that when the vote is finally counted sur
prises will be i'll order. That the Repub
licans will be the people surprised there
is every reason to believe; for while the
result will be somewhat close, cool calcu-
lation and II clear, unprecedented estimate
of the situation lead to the belief that
Bryan will receive the electoral--vot of
the following States: Alabama, H.;
Arkansas, s. California, % Colorado, a.
Florida, 4 Georgia, 49, Idaho,3;. Kansas,
10; Kentucky, 10; Louisiana, s; NIissis
sipp, 9; Missouri, II; Montana, 3;
Nebraska, 5; Nevada, 3; North Carolina,

South Dakota, 4; Tennessee, -; Texas
10; Utah, 3: Virginia, 10; Washington.
i; Wyoming, 3; West Virginia, 6:.,Min-
nesota, 8. This would insure him pa
votes, and as 22i will elect, ..eithcr NIichi-
gan, with II Indiana, with 15,or.Iliinois,
with n votes, all of which can Justly be
called doubtful States, would give him
the requisite number or more Beside the
States above mentioned, the Democrats
have Il fighting chance also in Maryland
and Ohio; but while it can with truth he
said that should the Democrats carry
Illinois they will elect Bryan President,
the same success on the part,,of the Re
publicans (the carrying of Illinois, would

THE SITUATION IN TURKEY.

n Constantinople dispatch says the sit
uation throughout the Turkish empire is
very grave. The sultan is nreparing".to
increase the strength of his army, and to
all inquiries of the great powers as to his
motive for so doing returns cvasive an
swers. 1t is believed in some quarters
that the increase of the Turkish army
means that the first attempt at coercion
on the part of the powers will BE followed
by IL wholesale slaughter of Christians
throughout the Ottoman empire. Since
the visit of the ear TO England and
France it is believed that an understand
ing has been reached between these two
powers and Russia, by which a summary
check will be given to any further bar
barities on the part of the Turks, and it
is supposed the latter will resist any such
attempt to the utmost, even to the extent
of massacreing all Christians in the en-
pire. Such Il course on the part of Tur
key would bring about the complete over
throw of the sultan's power and the dis
membcrmcnt of his domnions; but in the
"i"u' to"''o'i vi MS ciicCV9 " Scicr"I Euro-
pean quarrel is likely to cn,ue, followed
by Il war greater than any which has
afflicted Europe since the bloody days of
the great Napoleon. 1t is only the dread
OF such IA war that is holding.up the sui
tan's tottering throne but as such war
is inevitable sooner or later, there is
general feeling that it is better. TO. hasten
may follow. The Turks sccm'dctcrmined
to kill all Christians in the empire, and
unless checked in their murderous pro-
srcss will do so very soon hence the end
cannot long be avoided, however much
the outcome may DE dreaded by. the Chris
tian nations OF the world.

the West and South will have great
deal Of both to sell, the United States
ought To be able to reap great profit by
the unhappy condition of affairs in the
British possessions of the East. While
su Gering humanity, whether white, brown
or black, deserves sympathy and help, it
cannot he forgotten that Great Britain
has used India and Egypt in every way
possible to defeat the agricultural suprc-
macy OF this country, and in the ordinary
course of events it is no more than lust
for us to have turn of prosperity while
the mother county is seeking monopoly
of everything that help, her people in

When Bryan shall have lcen elected
and England c,n no longer use American
