place on Friday last put in nomination
some very good men from this part Of the
county. Mr.. $. J. Sanborn candidate for
Representative we have known for good
many years, and we can assure the peo
pie Of this county that in him they will
find man that will not bctray their trust
but will take pride in working for tllcil
interests.
Mr.. George Allen candidate for Commits
sioner, although not much known in tho
county, was the unanimous choice of tho
people of both parties in this township
lie is q close tiyurer in business matters
and has the reputation of au unblemishcd
character, is an independent republican
not taking sides with either faction
Quite an excitement prevailed here yes
1crday on account of special election
held to elect a village justice, which re
suited in the election of Mr.. Kellogg.
Rumors are afloat in the sorcheat
''ring," that the Hotch and Page faction
will hold a mass convention for the pur
pose OF putting in nomination another sc
Of candidates. They are waxing wrotl
because Mr.. Howe was not renominatcd
but that gentleman made his own tigll

though the whole city bad been alive
with people up to two o'clock in the
morning witnessing the illuminstlon'

sufficient for fresh strength to
continue aud see the great
events of to-day. BY seven
o'clock the streets were beginning to NIL
with people, all vending their way to-
ward the

The day opened finely, but as the Sun

the clouds began to gather so thick that
dire forbodings of the result were freely
expressed, and slight shower just before
the exercises began made the people very
uneasy, and prevented many, probably
from being present who otherwise would
