The first precinct heard from was South Hartford, the farthest away’ from here, while the last was Washington, the nearest precinct. South Hartford camo at 6:30 and was quickly followed by’ north and south St. Marys and north Hartford. Then came the others rapidly and by’ eleven o'clock all were in but three {precincts. At this time the results were known, but the crowd remained to hear the last one, which arrived at one o’clock. The crowd in this office were good natured and patient and we are glad you were with us. A big vote was brought out, the auditors battle showing that 3317 ballots were cast. A short history of the life of each nominee follows: John W. Tyndall, the nominee for joint senator, is an Adams county’ product, being born in Blue Creek township, October 30, 1861.
