THE ELECTION.

THE ELECTION.
! are now four days past the

S not known. This is owing
e great length of the ticket,
It's irregularity. On each tick
Ere siXty-four names, and, as
ted, there were between thirty

hism meant Railroad, while i'm
Der it meant Anti-Railroad.

meant Fence your Farms =

E controlled by ring, clique, or

Jet. The great question decid-
(by the election was whether
eRailroad Company or the Peo-
were the stronger power in

Imight well have been Monop
and Antl-Monopoly, as they
resent the old, Old principles of
higgery and Democracy. His
y repeats itself. The Demo-
pic principles of our Govern
pt still prevail, and the People
