LIMERICK, March II, 1868.
MzsRs EpIroRs Limerick Is all right.
Hurnh for victory! We have met the enemy
and they are ours-i. G., Aoss rho didnf run.
After one Of the hardest campaigns ever fought
here-partly owing to tic vote last fSll-the
following Republicans were chosen by majorities
ranging from ! to 70 viz: II. H. Burbank,
Moderator; Z W. Suasey, Clerk; J. N. Mason,
II. p. Green. b. A. Sawtelle, Selectmen and As
SCISSORS; J. L. Gould, Auditor; D. C. Eastman,
Treasurer; II. ii. Burbank. Agent; l. Boothby,
S. s. Committee, I. P. McCuslck, Constable s
Collector.
The cops. made desperate effort to get the
desk, but were driven back, and many bit the
dust. Then followed howl from their ranks,
such Us the citizens Of this quiet town never be-
fore heard, and familiar to only those present
who had heard rebel war cries and seen rebel
charges. No truer comparison could be made.
The shouts reached ears mile and half dis
tant from the scene. Desperation seized the
vanquishcd.
Under tho leadership Of one who, during the
war. oornselled peace, and whose past rcputa-
ton and discretion sh ould have countenanced
better things, they initiatcda miniature rebel
lion Free rum and cheap rhisky were power
full aids, Rebel shouts and eoPperhead Kisses
rent the air. These mobocrats strove to seize
the ballot-box from the moderator, to thrust him
from the desk. to pull one-armel soldiers and
decrepit old men from the polls, but all in vain.
Aner the lapse Of half an hour, orler was re
stored by the presiding officer, constable and 30
Der portion Of the people. Then came second
volley; but now their tactics were reversed.
Their muscle had failed them, their courage
had spent itself, their threats were hoarse from
believing. and now with shame upon their faces
and something like respect for their beiers, they
asked only the ballot, (no MoRE.) This time
they were completely routed and demoralilcd.
Decent Democrats joined our ranks, and vexed
ones vowed vengeance Oh such ieadersn'p' anu
