The Spring Election

Xever before has more difficulty been experienced in getting the electiou returns of the county. The Argus is the flrst paper to make any attempt at giving the complete returns of the county and we confess that our table is sadly deficiënt. We have been forced to estimate the majorities on the state ticket in Salem, Scio and York, but relieve that our estimates will be found nearly correct, in which case Judge Durand receives about 635 maiority in this county. Hooker carries Ann Arbor city by 12. Judge Kinne's majority for circuit judge in this county is 1,461 and in the district something over 1,200. The unfortunate religious phase of the judicial campatgn operated in Monroe as here and the majority on the state ticket there being exeedingly liglit, it is reported that Mr. ïilday's naajority in Monroe is under 00. The total vote in Washtenaw county s about 8,000. There were more balots than this in the boxes, as from all uarters caaie tales of unmarked lots founcl iiieh could not be counted, as for instance 20 in the first ward, 80 ín the second, 37 in the third and 30 in the fifth ward of Ann Arbor city, 37 in Salem, 29 in Lodi, 38 in Scio and so on throughout the county. This being considered, it will be seen that the hot flght in the circuit judgeship brought out a heavy vote for the spring election. A large niajority is given against ie various constitutional amendments. reaching, probably, about 1,200 in the county. In four wards and 12 towns the amendment relative to the highways received 432 votes in its favor and 1,145 against is. The towns went uniformily against the amendments excepting that Freedom gave a majority in favor of the amendment relating to interna! improvements.
