comfortable standing on some of our
corners. street aS we saw them doing,
buttonholing voters with the hUdable in
tenton of converting old CONSTITUENCIES
! into new ones. We are unable to youch
! for any conversion. The election was
very quiet for such a momentious qucs-
ton. The vote in this township was un-
usually light. amounting to only 92S,
while full vote ofthe township amounts
to some 1900. The constitution was
considerably behind and almost three to
one against license.
The result Of the election here Is rs
follows: $40 for license, 39S against; 2%7
for Constitution, go against; III minor
itv representation, $40 against; 20 for
railroad, 79G against. ...

| There were several cases of attempts To
pass counterfeit money in some Of orr

were made towards arrcSting such parties.
! The denominations were % and 80 cent
! scrip. Look out for it.
EVERYTHING is quiet in the reserve;
no police arrests made Yesterday. This
is very crcdtnble taking into considera-
/ ton that it was election day
