ELECTION INcrDESr.-Ithas not been
forgotten by the old residents of the
county, that in 1886, when Van Buren,
and Harrison were candidates for the
Presidency, the returns of that cleo
ton from Decker township were
thrown out by the board of canvassers
The causes that led to this result is
not so well known, and We believe
wiz be interesting to our readers
The election was held at Dicksburg in
somewhat dilapidated log school
house. The townships at that time
were without pcll-boxes in which to
deposit the ballots and the judges used
a hat for that purpose, covered with a
handkerchief. There were about one
hundred voters in the township, eigh-
ty of whom were strong Van Buren,
men, under the leadership of Mart
Anthis, or as he is Familiarity known,
Grizzly Bear" The Harrison men
were marshaled by Capt. Celwood, as
sisted by VIM. Madison, or as he was
called, "Bil Mat" Betting common
ced at an early part of the day, the
Van Buren, men stalking their "piles"
that Harrison would not receive TWEEN
ty-fve votes in the township. One of
the judges q. c. had invested all he
could raise on Van Buren,, and at the
same time had imbibed pretty freely
of cred eye" from flask he carried in
his pocket, thereby becoming fully
equal to take conspicuous part in
what followed. But we must permit
Capt. B. to tell the story in his own
way: "About O'Clock the boys got
warmed up and were doing some tall
fighting. / stayed inside and kept my
eye on ]. c., knowing the id rascal
would stuff the hat if he could. Pref
ty soon I saw him take up wad Of
about forty Van Buren, tickets and slip
them into the hat. 1 had my eye on
him, but concluded not to peach
Shortly after, when ]. c. was taking a
swig from a flask, l put into the ha.
about $50 for Harrison. The polls
closed, and counting commenced
Harrison, Harrison, Harrison, fell from
the lips of the Inspector, until twenty
FIVE tickets were counted. Then
commenced quietly raking in my bets
knowing the ID would be to pay be-
fore long. When they had counted
out thirty Harrison votes, "Old Griz-
ely" could stand it no longer. SAID
he: Boys, there's treachery some.
wharf, andbelieving FAC Trulack to be
the guilty party, he 'chawed' him up
in a little less than no time. This wa:
asignal for "a general free fight, and
the boys went in on their muscle il
fine style. But it wouldn't do any
coed; Harrison tickets still kept pour
ing out Of the old hat until the numbe
of ballots counted exceeded the mum
Der of votes cast by about sixty-five
At this stage of the proceedings som,
one suggested that the counting cease
as'there remained about fifty votes We
in the box, which suggestion being
acted upon, general rush was made
and hat, ballots and tally-papers wer
scattered in all directions" The Cap
tain concludes the history by addin!
that the returns could not be fixed u
and were thrown out in consequence.
But, says he: al cleaned them out tina
