HOME GUARD ELECTIONS.--We found considerable trouble, last evening, in obtaining the result of the vote for Field Officers of the Home Guards, in consequence of some of the companies closing their polls at a very early hour for a street parade, and leaving behind them no record of their vote. Others, again, kept their polls open until a very late hour before the count was commenced. It was midnight before the general vote could be obtained. The following, although imperfect in a few instances, will, we believe, give a fair idea of the relative positions of the contending candidates:--
VOTE FOR COLONEL | ||||
Co.A-- | John M. Bickel.. | 2 | E. M. Gregory .... | 89 |
Co.B-- | John M. Bickel.. | 76 | .. | .. |
Co.C-- | John M. Bickel.. | 57 | .. | .. |
Co.D-- | John M. Bickel.. | 3 | E. M. Gregory.... | 67 |
Co.E-- | John M. Bickel.. | 114 | E. M. Gregory.... | 3 |
Co.F-- | John M. Bickel.. | 11 | E. M. Gregory.... | 68 |
Co.G-- | John M. Bickel.. | 50 | E. M. Gregory.... | 2 |
Co.H-- | John M. Bickel.. | 6 | E. M. Gregory.... | 51 |
Co.I-- | John M. Bickel.. | 39 | E. M. Gregory.... | 12 |
Co.K-- | John M. Bickel.. | 50 | E. M. Gregory.... | 5 |
Total | ........... | 408 | 297 |
From the above, it will be seen that JOHN M. BICKEL is elected Colonel; and that there is a strong probability of the election of S SNYDER LEIDY as Lieutenant-Colonel. Messrs. MYERS and FOUST are no doubt elected Majors.
