For weeks past the Long Island town elections
have created unusual attention, owing To tho div
sions In the democratic ranks and tho harmony and
good will which peryaded tine republicans. A new
interest was added to the contest owing to the
reimbursement OF the negroes. The storm OF Moii-
day had the effect OF bringing out O large vote,
as the farmers and laDorcrs could not work.
The contest IN each town was bitter and
much hard feeling existed. especially in jamaica and
Newtown where there are rival rings. In Jamaica
there we're three stump candidates on the demo.
cratic side for Justice, Town Clerk and Collector,
as the discontents believed from q recount OF the
vote that they had been fraudulenty rejected. Tho
negroes turned out In force and pOed over 15O
votes The democratic peulers worked hard to
force them to vote on their side, and In sey-
era cases were successful One negro, VINO
had evidently Ilnbibed freely, went forward
