THE REsULT.

The town election In Gold Hill yes
terday. resulted In the reelection Of
the old or present Board OF Trustees,
with the exception Of Mr.. Virgins,
who did not care to serve any longer;
therefore, o. c. Mundsll was elected
In his place. Mr.. Mundsll isa gentle
man Of unsxceptionsbls worth and
integrity, and will provo 4 very &C
ceptabls acquisition to the circle Of
town dads. Tho reelection Of the old
Board by such q decided vote, IL a
very emphatic and complimentary In
dorsement Of their pastdolngs, as well
as an expression Of confidence In what
they may do In the future. As we
have before stated, the old Board have
done we'll. During their frat year In
Office they reduced the town debt even
moro than the excellent Board which
preceded than, but they ono mlzed
things q little too we'll !; therefore,
during their second year they incurred
heavy expenses in public improve
msnts, which nearly went back on, or
compensated fer what they saved
during tho first year. In other
words, they only succeeded In
actually reducing the town debt
during their two years In office about
fifteen dollars. They however re-
ported ever eight thousand dollars In
tho town treasury OH the Goth OF last
month. Since that zine they have re-
deemed some three thousand dsllars Of
the town bonds, and are prepared to
still further rsducs the debt. The Fire
Department Is vol fitted out and pro-
vided for In every respect, the streets

held water, everything will be In
pretty good shape, and the Trustees
will DO able to make a very gratifying
reduction OF the town debt between
now aud next year at this time. We are
glad to see them have the opportunity
to do so, and hope they will Improve
II to the best advantage, not neglect
Ing. however, any proper. reasonable
and advantageous expenditure Of the
public funds In whatever improve
ments are required for the benefit Of
the town and the community at large.
As to the other officers reelected.
Town Marshal Kelly aud Treasurer
Wade, we have already given them
due credit rs true, faithful and ell
cisnt officers. No one has 4 word Of
fault to find with their official record
during the past year. aud IL they do
~ well Ia the future rs they have In
the past they will do well enough.
The contest yesterday was a lively
one, and each candidate did good work.
All, however, could not well be elect
ell, yet those who wsre defeated were
COED and true men, who would have
done :heir duty satisfactorily had they
been chosen. They have tho consola-
ton Of knowing that they made a good
fight and rot a very complimentary
vote, but the majority Of their fellow
citizens preferred those who are elect
ell. Tho successful ones can pride
themselves upon the fact that they had
no scrubs to beat. In 70 lively . Con-
test between rival candidates OF .rch
merit, each with 10 many friens' 1t
was but natsral that much lying. mis-
representation and injustice should be
INDUCED In ; we happen to know that
there was, in fact paid for knowing 1t,
yet, that Is all over, and nobody
need care. "All's we'll that ends
we'll"
