A Glorious Result!

A Glorious ResuItI
The election in this place, on Friday
last, resulted in the overwhelming sue
cess of the Democratic ticket. For this
auspiciOus result, we are indebted to
the faithfulness of the borough DemOc-
racy, and to the praiseworthy conduct
of considerable number Of cOnserva-
tive and sensible Republicans, who
find it necessary, in selfdefence, to vote
with the Democrats. Over such we do
not triumph, for they helped us to gain
the victory. The vote was as follows :
Judge of Election.
Y. J. Lyons, D., II. A. J. Middleton, R., 50.
Inspector.
Jonathan Brightbill, D., 1877. J. L. Lessg r., 90.

EDITOR GAZETTE: AS the election
fOrtOWnship officers came of yesterday,
L have thought you would be anxious
to know the result in this township,
aud L concluded L would give you a
few items for your satisfaction. In the
first place each party had ticket COM
posed of good men, and it was thought,
under the existing circumstances OF
the township, that it would make a
close run, but the old Democracy became
aroused, and, after they heard of the
expression of your towns gas bdg,"
Geetie Johnny Cessna, that Sin Napier
the Democracy had become 50 rotten
that he would defy them to elect a
Democratic School Director" they
pitched in with heart and soul in the
good work and elected their whole
ticket, with the exception Of one super
visor, giving the largest majority that
several years. Our School Directions,
that young and faithful Democrat
James a. Sill, and that old veteran
war-horse, WIN. Rock, sea-, being cleo
ted by large majorities, Sill having
the same ao the Judge. Rock being Il
"nO bounty" man was cut some. There
was not a full vote pOlled, but if there
had been, our majority would have
been increased instead of diminished.
/ consider that john Cessna is doing
much more good now for the cause of
Democracy than he ever did when he
belonged to the party, for whenever he
attempts to pile up IA Republican ma
jOrity he is certain to pW il d0rR.-
We will have an election board, next
fall, that will do honor to the township,
three against two, and the ''Republi-
can" Inspector, that standing candi-
date for Sheriff. 4. b. Dennison, may
make use of all the gas he contains
and it will have no effect upon the
other officers Of the board, John A
Burns, as Judge, and William Crisman
as Inspector.
Yours, truly, q, IN THE CORNER.
