The presidential election passed off all
| quietly here, in fact one of the most quiet
election ever held, and every one voted,
we hope, according to the dictates of con-
science. We poled the sma lest vote than
for many years-the total vote being only
l42, about one half of the voters in town.
A good many went to Mt Tabor from the
east eide of the town. The vote has indi-
Gated that the republicans and democrats
held their own, and that there hal been no
change of sentiment in reference to the two
great political parties since the state cleo
ton. The certainty of how this state
would go, was the cause of the light vote,
and no excitement. ]. O. W.
