Foote.- Chicago: The Lewis Publishing Company, 1888. THE first election for officers was held May, 1850, and the following were chosen:�J. W. Redmon, county judge. H. C. Melone, county clerk. J. T. Richardson, county recorder. John Yontz, county sheriff. John M. Murphy, county treasurer. J. H. Moore, county attorney. Charles E. Allen, county assessor. Another election was called for the first Wednesday in September of the same year, but as this day fell on the fourth of the month, and the State was not admitted until the ninth, the election was illegal and the old officers held over until 1851, when the following were elected:� H. C. Melone, clerk. Joseph Johnson, sheriff. F. G. Appleton, treasurer. J. M. Murphy, recorder. J. H. Moore, county attorney. W. Gallimore, assessor. There is no existing record of these two elections, and therefore we are unable to give the number of votes cast for each candidate. From this time, how�ever, the record is complete, and the following tables will show the names of each candidate, the number of votes received by each, and the party to which he belonged. The following abbreviations are used: W for Whig; D, Democrat ; DD, Douglas Democrat ; R, Republican; I, Independent; P, People's ; T, Temperance; WM, Workingmen's; NP, Non-partisan; KN, Knownothing; YM, Young Men's; A, American; Pn, Prohibition; G, Greenback. 1852State SenatorJacob Grewell (W)833 J.
