The result Of tho recent election in this State
|. proves one thing, at least, coucluBivo]y: TINT
she people do not favor salary-grnbbers, and
that they arc becoming disgustod with the pres;
ent corrupt rule. and arc determined, at no dis
tant day. to place men In positions Of trust who
arc worthy Of their confidence. 4
Tho above is not a more assertion that has no
. foundation in fact, but 1t can DO subHthntiatod
by referring to returns Of this falls election.
Although tho roturns go far arc rather incom-
plete owing to the closonoss Of the vote, wo can

AZ, 900; this year Lo receives less than 10000
