l. There was little or nothing unusual in the recent
election which should bring the blush of shame int
any mans face 1t was the most peaceaby conducted
election the city has known for years, according u

were fewer knock downs and fewer disturbances thai

Democrats were "shot down. for u" hurrahng f
Buchanan or for anything else. The Indians
spoken Of were only twenty or thirty in number, al
they dispersed long before the opening of the pol
