In 1878, Shanklin's (Democrat) plurality for Secretary of State, was 240. The prominent feature this year was the Greenback vote, which was 606, the largest they have ever polled in De Kalb County.
In the campaign of 1880, the contestants were the late James A. Garfield, representing the Republican party, and Winfield S. Hancock, nominated by the Democratic party. The Greenbackers placed in the field General Jaines C. Weaver, of Iowa. Garfield was elected, but De Kalb County gave a plurality of 141 for Han- cock. The eight townships giving Democratic majorities were Butler, twenty-seven; Jackson, sixty-one; Stafford, one; Union,

thirty-four; Richland, thirty-seven; Fairfield, 123; Smithfield, thirty-seven; Keyser, fifty. The Republicans carried five : Con- cord, eight; Newville, forty-six; Wilmington, 102; Franklin, thirty-three; Troy, forty.
In 1882 the Democratic plurality in this county for Myers, Secretary of State, was 268.
The campaign of 1884 was a hotly contested one, but resulted in an increased Democratic majority, Cleveland receiving in this county a plurality of 348. The Democrats also elected their county ticket throughout, although the Republicans had hoped to win one or two offices. The majorities ranged from 104 to 461. The six townships giving pluralities for Cleveland and Hendricks were Butler, seventy-two; Jackson, eighty-four; Richland, twenty-three; Fairfield, 130; Smithfield, eighty-seven; Keyser, 113. Seven town- ships gave pluralities for Blaine and Logan : Concord, five; New- ville, twenty-five; Stafford, twenty-three; Wilmington, 136; Union, seventy-seven; Franklin, twenty-three; Troy, twenty-seven.
Scanning the vote from 1860 to the present time, it is found that Jackson, Richland, Keyser, Fairfield and Smithfield have uniformly given Democratic majorities, while Newville, Wilmington and Troy have as steadily voted for Republican candidates. Butler was Republican in 1860, but Democratic ever since. Concord was Democratic in 1876, but Republican in other years, except 1864, when the vote was a tie, 132 votes being given for each party. Union has been Republican, except in 1880, Stafford the same, and Franklin has been rather "on the fence."
Following is a summary of the votes cast at every election since the organization of De Kalb County :
