The Straight (s) Republican Ticket
Elected Entire.
The election passed of quietly. 1t was
not in fact as lively as was expected. The
day was fair and nearly full vote was
polled. Those who did not vote either
had no interest in the matter or else were
afraid to on account of homesteads which
they had not yet proved up on. There
was no opposition to the Peoples ticket
to speak of. Mr.. Bragg was placed ON
the opposition ticket while absent and
Mr.. Stripe and HolIem back did not know
they were running until the morning OF
election. Several on the Independent
ticket had already withdrawn and those
who remained considered it useless to
run and the withdrawing matter OF little
consequence. The only real opposition
to the straight ticket was for marshal
and city justice. Mike Mclean made a
hard fight but finally succumbed to the
inevitable. He had no good workers at
either the second or third wards. In the
first ward where he stationed himself he
came out with Al majority, but his defeat
was overwhelming in the other two.
David Stewart thought he could at least
stand defea, and so braved the battle.

In the evening the cannon was brought
forth in honor of the "commi'tec OF five"
and large bonfire was started Oh Fourth
street. This-was considered dan ngcrOus as
the wind was blowing the sparks III every
direction aud Marshal Mclear put a dam
per on it. This aroused the patriotism OF

the proceedings as villainous. Il am
