The Republicans, Populisis and Prohibi.
tionists also had tickets in the field, but the
returns show victory for the Democratic party
by majority of 90, 900. The Populists and
Republicans will together possibly have II oil

about so per cent. The Democrats have
elected county officers in several counties
which heretofore have been Popuistic.
The only issue was the question of holding
constitutional convention which will elimin
ate the negro from politics. 1t was carried by
large vote, the Democrats being almost
solidly in favor of the convention.
The Legislature which meets in December

For a Bridpe Over Alloways Greek,

A committee consisting of Messrs. Verley
J. Clousher, George Weant, Geo. j. Shriner,
Edw. P. Myers, David J. Clousher and
James Eckenrode, all of Taneytown district,
called upon the County Commissioners on
Monday last aud presented a petition signed
by more than eighty of the heaviest tax-pay-
ers of that district, asking that bridge be
erected over Alloways Creek, on the public
road leading from Piney Creek Presbyterian
Church to the Two Taverns, on the Gettys-
'bnrg and Baltimore turnpike. The crossing
of Aloways on this road at best is difficult,
and in the spring and winter positively danger
ons.
In presenting the petition twas promised that
all the hauling of every kind necessary 10 the
construction of the bridge, would be done by
the farmers in the vicinity without charge to
the county, and that careful estimate had
been made. and the cost thereof mould not
exceed $780, Aside from the necessity which
exists to remedy the evil complained of, and
the qualification it would give to the people in
the neighborhood, this road is by several
miles the shortest and easiest route to Get
tysburg, and the one that would be most used
if the bridge is erected, in going to and from
that historic battlefield.
