RESULT F to There is Glory Enough Around A LIGHT VOTE WAS POLLED Centre County Does Well— More Though Was Expected—Little Interest Was Shown—Democratic Ticket Wins Out Handsomely. Notwithstanding the favorable weath- er on Tuesday, a light vote was cast in Centre county, as well as in most parts of the state. As the local ticket small, and the only contest being on pro- thonotary with the republicans indiffer. ent, democrats generally were not arous- ed, and could not be gotten to the polls. The result is that the Democratic nomi- nee for Judge of Supreme Court carried the county by a majority of 1240.
