TIE ELECTION ON MONDAY.

Al the election held in this county on
Monday last, in the Davenport precinct
Mr.. Fulton received LIZ votes and Mr.
Summers 81, in the LIE Claire precinct MIR.
Summers received las votes and Mr. Full
Ton but z. A the parties are neariy owl
dad ia these two precincts, il will he expect
ed by many, no doubt, that We denounce
he people Of lie Claire for tho peculiar
course they have pursued in this election.
While we consider their course as i.npolitic
and think they take an entirely erroneous
view Of the benefits that must accrue 10
them and TO their town from the. extension
Of Railroad eastward from this place, we
still give them the crcdi, Of acting from
sense Of what they conceive to be 10 the
best interests Of their town. II we blame
nnv, "a We most assuredly do, for acting
blindly, inconsis,ently and in direct opposi-
lion TO what they not only conceive but
knor 10 be 10 the best interests Of their
town, il is the ninety-one Locofocos resi-
ding in this precinct who voted for Sum
ners. Those men should never again say
that they are in favor OF the Railroad, or
,ha, they regard the interests Of Davenport
as superior 10 party politics, their actions
will belle their words.
Two men are candidates for an Office in
which they can exercise vast amount Of
influence to the advantage or to the detri-
ment Of the town Of Davenport. One Of
these men is a citizen Of Davenport, the
most en,erprising man in Scott county. one
who al acknowledge has done more for the
town than any other and quite as much
according 10 his means for the Railroad
The other is resident Of an adjacent town,
ac,uated by petty jealousy, opposed to
the interests Of Davenport, pledged, il pos
rible, 10 defeat any measure that may re-
sui, to The advantage Of the Railroad.--
aud more If We chose g a utter It, -G ninety siy
one citizens Of Davenport and vicinity
have trnmpled upon their interests by vo'
ting for the man who is opposed 10 them in
all things, save politics.
Unless something intervene, there are seyera
subjects connected with party politics upon hich
we design gising few plain, truthful remarks a.
dapted 10 this meridian.
