The Democratic landslide in this State
was the particular topic discussed yester-
day afternoon by small groups OF men
on every street corner. Here and there
could be noticed small groups OF poll
ticians who were telling show it hap
pened," and it is safe to say that not
one was right in arriving at the true con-

o'clock, the prothonotary will present
the certificates from the respective dis
tricts to tile Court, which shall there
upon, with the aid of its officers and such
sworn assistants as it shall appoint, pub

throughout the county and in the re-
spective election districts.
