The Gran6est Demonstration ever Known in the His-
 tory of our Town.
Powder Burned by the Barrel.
The r People arc Glad and Re- .jOice Because of the Tri-
 umph of Right.

Of all the jollificatlons we have ever seen in small town, we nev CT witnessed more enthusiastic out-pouring of joyful feeling than that which took place in our town on last Friday night. Although the dispatches given in the DEMO GRAF Thursday morning, were sufficient to convince those of strong faith, and to fill them with joy and good cheer, it was deem- ed best to wait until there was undoubted and fuller returns from some of the doubtful states before giving vent to any public demon stration. Therefore the more Jealous ones who would have jol- lified Thursday night were induc- ed to wait one more day.
 Friday brought the good tid- ings. Dispatch after dispatch brought a confirmation of not on. ly Tilden's election, but also of Craven's triumph over Mcclure in the Third District. This fill ed the cup to overhowing, and af- ter supper our oyeuoyed citizens gathered on the public square and

HOLLY BEND TOWNSHIP,
 November, 8th, 1876.


 To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 The election passed off yester- day at the new precinct in Holly Bend township peaceably, and in order. There were 73 votes poll ed which were all cast for Tilden and Gunter. If there were any Hayes or Cooper men in this township they failed to be at the polls. Consequently as far as Folly Bend has anything to say in the matter Samuel J. Tilden is declared unanimously elected President.
 The only irregularity in the matter, was no election of town ship officers. There seemed to be some misunderstanding at the polls where the order should come from. Ii the "Act to provide for filling township offices," &c., acts 1S74-5, page I52 dld not give the County Court power to order said election for township officers, then will some man of the law please rise and explain in what cases said acts do refer to?
 Agreeable to the votes cast on the license small majority thought it would be best to have there goes it'' shop. Yours,
