Election.

For some time past there has been
considerable excitement in regard to
the spring election in this locality, and
both parties have been up and doing.
There has been as much speculation
here as there generally is at
State or Presidential election. Men
that heretofore have paid but little at.
tention to politics, have gone into it
this season with a vigor that show
they are awake to the times aud they
have not left a stone unturned. On
Saturday the Band was brought out
aud, cnsconsed in sleigh containing
q huge banner, was driven through the |
streets, while sweet music was dis
courscd at the expense of the Rcpub-
lican party And yesterday these
dealers in music were again cm-
ployed by our Dem cratic candidates,
and under the various flags they were
thus employed nearly the whole day.
Each candidate was on hand with his I
best foot forward, worked with encr.
gy to secure the election.
When the polls closed the streets be- |
came more quiet, and the greater t
portion of the excitement seemed ?
passed. How anxiously each aspirant v
awaited the canvass Of the vots, that t
he might learn his fate. The time ar.
rived at last, with the following result
