In Wiscenatn the Republicans carried the State by a majority of freth 6000 to £00°. Massachusetts want Republi«ua by from 10,000 to 16,000 majority, THE STRAIGHT REPUB- 1 CAN TICKET*?' . S* *' ' • . a Th« election in tbtstownon Tuesday oft in the most quiet manner, ^ ,?!jthere t#elng but 280 votes polled, but little over a half vote. The friends of the different candidates worked earn­ estly. and with one single exception with the best of feeling and good nature. The result was more than the im*£t sanguine could have hoped for, «nrf) {troves that the people are not to to humbugged into voting for sore- treads, ne matter by what name they :are called. Mr. Nickle, who came out as an Independent candidate for Coun­ ty Superintendent of Schools a few days before election, took the larger part of the Democratic vote, thus slaughtering the nominee on the Dem­ ocratic ticket where he had a right to expect superior strength. It is charged that this vote was obtained for Mr. Nickle through a trade, but we know nothing in relation to the matter.-- Suffice to say he received a majority of 66 votes over both candidates. The candidates on the Republican ticket for Judge, Clerk and Treasurer received majorities ranging from 71 to 90. Below we give the result of the vote in the different towns of the county, AS far as heard from* RILEY--Smith 6 majority. Avery 5 tmajority. Nish 23 majority. Young y majority.

We had hoped to get full returns be­ fore going to press but have &een un­ able to do so, but enough is shown above to ensure the election of the straight Republican ticket by a hand­ some majority. The majorities given above are the highest Candidate over both other competitors, and when figured as be­ tween the two highest candidates, as It properly will be, the majorities will be materially increased. The major­ ities for B.N. Smith, County Jndge. and James Nish Treasurer, will be over «>ne thousand, they having a majority In every town in the Connty. The "vote on Clerk and Superintendent is much closer, hut still Whitney and Toting are elected by small majorities, Nickle carrying five towns and Cumins but one. The opposition used every means in their power to defeat Whitney and Young; split tickets, "bobtail" tickets •ad mongrels el all kinds, being freely distributed, but the people would not be deceived. And this chicanery was attempted by men who pretend they want to "reform" the politics of the ^country! God save the reform. Although the cry now is "»ff year," thefeand writing on the wall is 8« plain that "he who runs may read,*' •ad we hope all soreheads w4U profit by the lesson, and learn that when fairly defeated in Convention they need not expect favors from the people by going over to the «jpp©siti©« or run­ ning Independent, and attempting to steal their way in by crovdisg their name on to regular tickets. The result in >4he county is gratify Jug to all lovers of right and justice -- • • • - ' < - • iQrTwo of our cotemporarles sieth to be much worried about what they term the **PLAINI>EALER'S Conun­ drum.*' AS they did not give us a chance to answer before election we shall defer our remarks until the ftill election returns are in, when they will hear from us. As the author of one of the articles in question was a candidate for Superintendent of schools we will show the public how much he possesses of that article of which he talks so much--principle. His blatant talk of buying and selling proves just the amount of brains he possesses. "Only this and nothing more." SENATOR MORTOBT. The news of the death of Senator Morton on Thursday afternoon is al­ ready known in every hamlet in the land, A great man has passed away. His greatness was achieved by his own efforts and talent. His lineage is traced back to the Earl of Throckmor­ ton in the reign of the English Queen Bess. His grandfather came from England ai.d settled in New Jersey about one hundred years ago. On leaving that State, the Senator's father dropped the firat syllable of the name, leaving it merely Morton. Senator Morton was a native "Hoosier,'* having1 been born in Indiana in 1823. He ac­ quired his education at district schools and Miami University. He entered upon the thorough study of law at twenty-two years of age. He was elected Circuit Judge in 1852 by the Democrats, but left that party in 1854 on the repeal of the Missouri Com­ promise. In 1861 the deceased Senator became Governor of Indiana by the election of Lane to the United States Senate, Morton being Lieut-Governor. His record as War Governor is well known. He was reelected in 1864 and in 1867 was elected to the United States Senate, and has continued a member of that body ever since de­ clining the offer of the English Mis­ sion tendered him by President Lin­ coln in 1870.--Elgin News. CO. ^fAVKDAlRT MARKETS. * WATKRTOWN, S. Y., NOV; Ml. Cheese.--On Saturday the attendance was very large. Salesmen manifested a great anxiety to sell, but buyers would not even give them a bid, and advised them to hold, and said that an­ other ten days would probably bring about a different state of things. There were 13 factories represented, offering 3,492 boxes. No sales. UTICA, N.Y., Nov. 8th. The market to-day was livelier than last week, although prices were lower. The offering was usually large, the large number held over last week being again placed upon the market. There were fully 11,600 boxes offered. Of these about 1,000 went forward on com­ mission. some receiving guratitee.-- From 4,500 to 5,000 boxes were sold directly. The lowest quotable price paid was 12Jc. The greater number of factories sold for 12 Jc. A bout half a dozen lots weut at 12|c. Four or five factories brought 12Jo. The latter figure was quite freely offered for flne September cheese, but may sellers pre­ ferred to hold over for another week, rather than tako less than 13c. LITTLE FAI,LB, N. Y., Nov. Jtth. CHEESE.--Although there was an ap­ parent advance of |c. in the market to­ day, it was by no mearft what might be called lively. The pleasant weather brought out a much larger number of salesmen than made their appearance last week, and there were upwards of 10,000 cheese offered for sale. But buy ers were steadfast in holding to their limit of 12fc., and as a consequence a large number of the offerings were not sold, the factory men still holding for 13c. FARM DAIRY.--About 500 boxes of dairy cheese (changed hands to-day, at prices ranging from lljc. to 13c. Two lots brought the former price, and eight lots the latter. The average price was about 12|c. BUTTER.--We quote 82 packages, the price of which varied from 20c. to 26Jc# The ruling price seemed to be about 27c it % -p: % • FOR SALE.

After a prolonged struggle of two mouths th« miners in the employ of the great coal companies of the Wyoming region, Penn., last week voted nearly unanimously to retarn to their work unconditionally. The mass of the workmen were so ready to give up the hopeless struggle that the question was decidcd by acclamation without waiting for the formality of a ballot. It is likely that the leaders of the disturbance will be weeded out and steady work be given to the better class of workmen. And so has elosed another chapter of protracted suffering and heartburnings on one hand, and of noe^less waste and destruction of prop­ erty on the other. It is to be hoped that the wholesome and costly lesions that both sides have learned will im­ press upou both the fact of mutual de- pendeuee And the need of mutual con­ sideration, - JOS.
