ELECTION.


OoamoeEGt1o ~ Good ~h4a3Or1ttes.
The result Of the election in Canton city
and township is quite gratifying To- Dem
ocrats, showing a good majority in both
city and township, notwithstanding the
c~rOss-fring on a few candidates for ward
positions. r. ~
The Democratic township ticket was all
elected by rousing majorities, except one
constable. Watson Wise, who lost his night
arm two or three years ago in coupling
cars. 1t viii be seen by referring TO our
table, that Abram Sponsellsr, was elected

proper to say, Mr.. Sponseller didnot want
the Justieeship, and his name was placed
on the ticket without his knowledge. he
resides i've miles from town, and Mr..
Wyant living in town ~electionesred him
self and had others working for him. and
thus ran ahead of his ticket. t-l0loa
In the city things are somewhat mixed
owing to the foolish and badmanagenent.
We elect but one of the four members to
the city council, instead of thres as one,
year ago. Mr.. Leopold Biechele in the
4Ih ward is the only Democrat ielected to
the council. He got III nsjOrityl over D.

been twice elected from that Democratic
stronghold, and was anxious for . third
