The Election I'm Austin.

The day was pleasant, and lots Of work
was done by p oliticians, especially by
the candidates and agents of the "Union
Reform" ticket. They worked with q
vim, for their lives, for their bread and
butter, or for anything else you choose to
call it. Austin has no whiskey shops
oh, no!-yet whiskey seemed to have
even more than ordinary Influence. There
were several lively little "scrimmages''
about the polling places, and somebody's
noses were just little bruised. Not.
withstanding all the excitement and
hard work put into the canvass, there
was a much lighter vote polled than
usual. The greenback dodge carried
many votes, and Neighen goes out of the
city with four majority. Gibson (Dr)
for senator has majority Goodsell (Rep)
for representative, has 80 majority over
Gaskill, and Allen (Rep) IS majority
over Gibson: Wyckoff, (Gr) for county
auditor, 81 majority; Howe (Gr) for Re-
gister of Deeds, majority; Cox, Orr
for sheriff, 40 majority; Cameron, Ond
for Judge OF Probate, . majority; Kins
man (Rep.) for county attorney, led all
the candidates, with 70 majority; DR..
Strock, (Rep.) for coroner, Al majority =;
q: H Allen, (Rep) for county surveyor,
20 majority. So it will be seen the vot-
ing here was pretty badly mixed.
As for the bond settlemen! proposition,
We have yet to hear of single vote be
ing cast in the city in favor Of the same.
