GENERAL ELECTION, OCTOBER 22, 1863.
There was an election held for both State and county of- fices, October 22, 1868. The following is a summary of this State election, as it stood in Tucker County :+
t The official returns from St. George are not included in this table. They would probably increase the majorities of the Democratic candidates to ss cach. Tucker County was now becoming decidedly Democratic. During the war, and shortly after the disfranchisement of so many voters, on account of supposed sympathy with the South, had allowed the Republicans to gain the rule. But, as soon as these war dis- qualifications were done away with, the Democrats returned to power stronger than ever. The tyranny of their opponents served to strengthen what it was meant to weaken, as it always does and always will do.

§ As a specimen of the tyranny and proscription existing as long after the close of the war as 1868, we give the oath that was required to be taken by the officers. It was not enough to have vanquished a brave enemy, but when he was powerless, the fires of persecution were kindled with more fury than ever. The following was the oath : "State of West Virginia, County of Tucker, SS .: 1, -- , Supervisor of Election, at - -, in said County, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this State, that I have never voluntarily borne arms against the United States, that I have vol- untarily given no aid or comfort to persons engaged In armed hostility thereto, by countenanceing, counseling or encouraging them in the same, that I have not sought, accepted or attempted to exerelse the functions of any office whatever, under any all- thority in hostility to the United States, that I have not yielded a voluntary support to any pretended Government Authority, Power or Constitution within the United States, hostile or inimical thereto, and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. And I further swear, that, in the election about to be held, I will faithfully and impartially discharge my duties to the best of my skill and judgment. So help me God."
