Both Sides Claim Victory.

Another big trial before the county oommiaaionera ia in prospect, over the queation of aaloona in Rendselaer. The aaloona filed their withdrawals Thnraday night and the antia their remonatranoe Friday night. All told the aaloon men had 20 withdrawal*, «&d of theab two Were got baok again on the remodgtranoe, leaving 18 nominal withdrawals. If these are all held good and lfgal then the aaloon applioanta will win by 5 or 6 majority, If ai many are held illegal aa the' antia olaim. then the remonatranoea will win by about the aame margins or a little larger. It will all hinge on legal points, some of w hioh have never been deoided by the bigher courts. Heretofore, however, the oommiaaionera here have deoided theae same points, or soape of them at least, in favor' of the remonstrators. J. Michael, of Jordan township went to Orawfordaville yesterday, where he will spend several weeks in visiting relatives and friends. ‘
