but some Democrats conoede Kantner'i
election by 13.
On the Poor Directorship the election Of
Henry Becker, of Tamaqua, is conceded by 3
majority of anywhere from 1900 to 1900.
The figuring upon which the estimates
given are based was made chiefly by A. )
Shortall, former Clerk of the Courts. Al
the returns were in at noon to-day, and the
official vote will hardly change the result
The official board Will meet tomorrow, Al
uoon, and begin making the official count OF
the elections
THE EARLY HOURS.
Last evening Chairman Noonan, of tn,
Democratic Committee, conceded the election
of the entire Republican ticket, with the ex
ceptioh of Judge. That contest was never il
doubt from the time the first half dozen dis
tricts were received. To-day, however. th,
Democrats claim a majority of their nemi
nees as winner. Late this afternoon the.
conceded the Republicans the Clerk of Courts
Prothonotary, Treasurer by small majority
and the election of Reber and Kantner, tn
latter by 10 majority. opie, they say, re
eeives the highest vote.
The Pottsville Club, Republican organi
zation, received the returns. One of tn
most interested members as to the result wa
ex-Judge Koch, who appeared well please
with the success of Wadlinger, especially s
when the returns from district where th
ex-Judge exercises much influence Shove
large Wadlinger gains. Judge Koch, how
ever displayed much solicitude for the I,
mainder of the ticket.
Never in the history of the county Wa
there SO much cutting on both sides, but til
Democrats had shade the better of it. n,
in recent years have the politicians bee
more at sea than they were in the contel
just closed Even the expert returns maj
ipulators" were at their wits end in figurin
the result by comparison with the vote
previous years. Most of them gave up Ii
task in disgust and awaited the semi-otiici
count to-day,
