The Election YestcrA Az

The election of school directors at the
Eleventh street school house yesterday,
was very animated. The balloting was
spirited throughout the day,and until the
polls were closed and the ballots counted,
no one was willing to invest much on the
result. The vote was large. though 1t
lacked about one hundred and twenty
five ballots of being up to that of last
year. The following is the result of the
days voting, which shows that though
Messrs. Stafford and Stratton were the
gentlemen chosen by the people, they
gained the day, as the saying is, by the
skin of their teeth
