| Election Notes.
1t will continue to be necessary to keep
| the heating apparatus at the State House full
| ly in repair. In the lower branch there will
| be six feet of Snow, and perhaps the cold
| North winds will elbow" occasionally.
Vassalboro' is so thoroughly ashamed of its
vote last Monday, that it is very dliatory in
| sending it in.
| Nathaniel Kent of West Mount Vernon,
| deposited in the ballot-box on Monday, his
whig party lived, and on its death became
| republican, and has ever since voted the re-
publican ticket. Amasa Porter OF the same
town, is S4 years old and seems to possess all
his youthful enthusiasm, if aroused fully
when political contest comes on Both these
gentlemen were soldiers of the war of 1872.
The democrats of Vassalboro' fred guns
over their temporary victory in that repre-
sentative district. We understand that re-
publicans employed by corporation in town,
fearful of losing their situations, voted the
democratic ticket. Mr.. Taylor. the repre-
sentative elect, formerly lived ir Vassalboro
and received many of the votes of his former
townsmen, regardless of party. These eau
ses, added to the inactivity of the republicans,
| produced the result OF Monday.
DIR. SHOWS clique got completely 'cleaned
| out" in Winthrop, MI. Wheeler, the republi-
| can nominee for representative, receiving a
majority of 50 in Winthrop alone. Well done,
| old Winthrop. The staid old town that has
| celebrated its hundreth birthday, refuses to be
longer dosed by the doctors blue pills.
| Neal II. Moody, democrat, has been elec-
ted representative from New Portland, Som
erset county.
Somerset county republicans should be
proud of their record on Monday. The
| local questions that in a measure have caused
ruptures in the party are driven to oblivion,
| and the full republican ticket is chosen the
| first time for three years.
Charles G. Crosby, republican, at Arrowsc,
was elected Representative by 80 majority in
a very close district, which was represented
| last year by Timothy Bowker, democrat.
