Litchfield has concluded To settle the
question. So II pOll-book has been
opened at the drug store of j. r. Bar
ton & Son, with the names of Tiiden,
Bayard, Hancock, Grant, Sherman and
Blaine, rs candidates, and the election
has proceeded quietly up to the present
time, and although we have no u. s.
Marshals, supervising, yet believe
there has been but little attempt at
"bull-dozing," though it is probable we
will have to have a returning board to
audit the vote. Mr.. Tilden has decided
