According TO the election officials through
out the county, in the Eeighborhood OF 800
ballots were thrown out In this county at
the recent election because of improper
marking folding. OF this number about
$50 were republican tickets and 80 demo-
cratic tickets. This shows net loss of
100 to the republicans from this cause. If
every ticket cast had been counted It would
not have elected any additional republican
candidates.

An astonishing thing in connection with
the recent election in this county is the
fact that Mr. Blair Lee, who was chosen
to represent this county In the state senate,
and against whom 1t was generally under
stood there would be organized opposition
in his own party in every district of the
county, received the largest vote of any OF
the candidates on the democratic county
ticket. While he received a considerable
republican vote in Rockville, Wheaton and
Coesvile districts, it Is evident that the re-
ports as to what would be done to him by
members of his own party were greatly eX-
aggerated. 1t is probable that he would
have been elected without assistance from
the republicans.
