While the Republican county, ticket was elected entire in Jasper j county, also their district and state ticket, the Democrats got the trustees in Barkley, Milroy, Union and Wheatfield, and elected a few township assessors, but by reason of the fact that the township vote is canvassed in the townships themselves, we are unable to give the number of assessors elected. i In Milroy a Democrat trustee was elected by 6, but the Republicans elected the assessor.
