The Plain Dealer gives the following
count of the recent railroad election there:
The railroad election last Tuesday was one
of the most stubbornly contested elections
ever held in this township. The vote was
very large-fully equal to the last
presidential vote-and the result most
glorious TO all who feel an interest
| in the future growth and prosperity of our
| city. A total of sos votes were polled, of
which 9S9 were for the railroad, against 6l9
opposed, leaving clear maj ority of only
| $40. This result has astonished the friends
of the railroad as much as its opponents.
Its most sangulne advocates would have
been abundantly satisfied had the majority
been less than 100, and many of them were
quite respondent as to their ability to give
| even a bare majority. Bets were freely Of
/ fered against the road, with but few takers,
and things looked generally gloomy Tues
day morning.
