The Presidential Election has passed
and long will it be remembered in "Old
Cedar The contest was warm but
friendly, The Locofocos saw their fat.
but died hard. In this Township the
Board of Trustees was in the hands OF
the Locofocos and they kept it closely,
for they would not let US have an assist
ant clerk, neither would they allow a
Republican to 60 into the room with
them. They were dark Sc. and didn't
like to be exposed to The public gaze
The people, Che popular sorereiers, had
10 stand out of doors and hand their
tickets through a window to DO passed
down to the ballot box. Till 8 o'clock
Of cold night in November, were the
sorereigas who wished to see that there
was fair play, kept standing around the
window where they could occasionally
get peep at the judges and clerks in
their cosy quarters. Blu. after waiting
from Z O'Clock till 9, during which time
they drummcd uF four voters that voted
and by sending two or three of their
runners, succeeded in bringing in the
ffth, who after all didn't vote, they gra-
ciously opened the door, and let in, as
one Of them expressed it, "them fellers"
The votes had all been cast then or he
would have been more affable. The can
vassing began at Q o'clock p. NJ. and
continued, without intermission, except
to take their meals, and to console one
another in their defeat, which was made
manifest as the canvass progressed, (they
were all candidates for -election) till
6 p. N. Of the next day 1t was their
last chance and they made long job Of
it. They are paid By the day. Last
year the democrats carried this town
ship by 81 msjority, but this year We
carried it for "lIonest Old Abe of the
West by 81 majority and elected our
whole Township ticket excepting one
Justice and the Assessor. Glory enough
for one day. The Enlightened faces of
the, soon to be defunct officials can be
imagined but could not be measured with
any common surveyors chain. The

Republican, and should they do a
we'll as the rest Of the county or as We
