THE town was quite animated on last
Saturday, on account of the primary cleo
ton. The streets were crowded from ear.
ly morn till the wee sma' hours. Candi'
dates and their supporters were every.
where. Greek met Greek and the battle
waged fercely till the close OF the polls,
They commenced counting the votes at an
early hour at the township poll, and the
result gas announced about six O'Clock.
Checks that were flushed but an hour be,
fore were blanched with fear and expec-
fancy as the vote was announced. The
candidates all worked like beavers, and nc
election for a number of years has been sc
holly contested. As night dropped heI
sable curtain, and the returns from the va
rious districts commenced 10 come in, little
knots of men gathered on the street cor
ners and discussed them in an excited
manner. About one O'Clock the GROVE
had dispersed and quiet once more reigned.
Monday morning there was considerable
excitement, but on the announcement o
the full official result, the defeated candi
dates accepted the situation with all the
good grace imaginable.
