and agreed to take no active part against

did not antagonizs George Spurrier for

for Spurricr would seem to give some
weight to this accusation, as he mallc the

little games carried through all the rest of
the rsform ticket by good najOrisies.

that the different parties stand on differ

as inspectors and Jake llollin.er AMI Jake
Price as clerks, havin. been settled upon
some weeks previOlis-their Tong expert
emce and wei! known ability ins,,ring IN
honest return. The leaders had made an
arrangement together by which the spOils
were divided and :. short ticket, made up
from both the rings, was run. A very
heavy vote WAS polle'l-Over aW-wlicl
is more by 80 or 60 than the Republican
voters in tho district, and this too when
three fourtl,s Of the OlOrcd men refused
to vote, having not boen &c properly in
formed" rs to the merits Of tho fight.
There was no disturbance during the day
although there was - good quantity "f
beer punished.
The polls were at TrcwitZ's old saloon
OH Locust street, although it was first an
nO;lnced to he ut lscichman's Seventh
ward house, and why it was changed ut
the last day is what Reichman is anxious
to find out. Bill Dean and Butch Miller
were credited with being the bankers "f
the ward funds, and from 81 t. $50 was
The market rate Tor votes.
The Eighth.
The s;ny,lcrs AMI their best workers ran
the Eighth ward. Everybody could vote
there who voted to suit them AMI about
600 votes were pOllcd ut least - Of them
being fraudulent. The ward wasbrOu.ht in
more than three -lOurths for the Er0nsineS
ticket, and they who were so we'll paid to
DO the work earned their money.
Tho Ninth.
The Ersminer boys cooked John I. Hart
mans S goose nj home. He was slated for
president Of. the return judges meeting
but Amos Cast beat him in his own ward,
and the buli,lOzcrs never lost the grip
which they gained early in the ii hit. They
carried thc:.ward.

over The ..phos, Dones;sls and Mt. Joy
wer, solid for the Eraminer but in the
Earls the RefOrmcrs got away with them
and even Scttley did not have i majority
in the thee E:lrls; the Lampctcrs and
Lc;,cOcks were handsomely cut in two
for Once-:snd throughout the lower end
the Examiner bulls were terribly .,Orcd,
except i'm Bart, where iIcilclr,ush pulled
the kready- Smith ticket through. In the
east end Cmble anl Reescr ran solid.
In Warwick township there was u very
large turnout Of Republican voters, there
being 4O6 votes poIled. This large vote
was largely due to ROebuck and friends
and Evans and his friends. ROcbuck has
al old grud.e against Evans and ho put in
some of his best licks to defeat Evans If
possible. For two weeks ROebuck and his
J. q. WeItincr, have been in
the field doing all they could asains:
Evans, inclu,lin. tho Sabbath day, when
both went to Lancaster to consult older
politicians how to proceed. Three years
ago Evans battlesl against ROebuck for
Congress and in January last Evans h:,d
toebuck or,stcd from the dictatorship OF
the LititZ national bank. IIOwevey, will,
