Town meeting passed off quietly in
our village on Tuesday, and resulted in
the election Of the Democratic Ticket.
A Union Ticket was run, composed
Of Republicans and Democrats who were
opposed to the use Of money or other APP
planes 10 secure votes. This ticket
was very well sustained considering the
large number who usually receive com
pensation for voting, The principle OF
running individuals on their merits, in-
dependent of any influence fear or favor,
is a good one, and should be encouraged.
The effort here this Spring was entered
upon under unfavorable circumstances,
the impression prevailing that it was a
plan got up for the purpose of defeating
the Republican ticket, aud for ensuring
the success Of the Democrats. The result
was the Republicans ran no ticket and
those Of them who felt so disposed, voted
the Union Ticket The nominee for
Supervisor on this ticket, Mr.. Daniel A..
Rhodes received 1877 which was quite
aattering, considering he ran ON his mer-
its alone. Mr.. VIM. Il. Jones, the nomi-
nee for Supervisor on the Democratic
ticket, received $40 votes. Mr.. Alonzo
+. Hull, ayoung physician of promise
was the nominee for Town Clerk and re-
eeiyed 345 votes or a greater majority, by
50 than the Supervisor and more than
any other person on the ticket

money used freely, paying as high as slj
for votes, and but for the numerous illc-
gal votes rushed in regardless Of the con-
sequences the Republicans would have
carried the day. May they profit by the
