AT ELIZABETH AND sHosHoNE.
But it was at Elizabeth and Sho
shone that the Democratic ticket re-
ceived its quietus, as over 700 votes
were polled at this place, of which
over 600 were straight Republican.
w. I. Riley, Dave and Ike Bingham,
P. NJ. Bruner, and a dozen other
prominent Republicans had gone
down there to look after Republican
interests. They were at the poll
bright and early, their pockets full OF
tickets, but not single Democratic
worker nor ticket could be found.
What had become Of them no one
seemed to know. The Hon. George
Ainslie had left Bellevue for Eliza
beth (Billingsley's) early on Monday,
with thousands of tickets, but on leav-
ing Bellevue he started out on the
Blackfoot road, and did not find out
his mistake until he had gone about
six miles. He then drove across
country to the kelton road, but had
to pass through the soft loan of the
Spring Creek country, got mired two
or three times, spilled out once with
his tickets, lost his bottles ofss''ready
t relief" and never reached Billings
ley's until noon on the day Of election.
Then he had but very few tickets.
Any electioneer can appreciate the
value of the boon thus granted the
Republicans. There they were, in
full possession of the poll for half a
! day, in precinct where were over
: 700 alien voters, who did not know
, one candidate from another, and many
: of whom could not even read. In
5 case some Of these aliens wished to
/ vote the Democratic ticket they could
. not get one to vote. The Republi-
cans, it is unnecessary to state, made
e the most Of their opportunity, and
:. when Democratic tickets arrived in
: possession Of the single, solitary Dem
t ocratic '.worker," (sicD nearly SOC
Il votes had been polled, and not a voter
!. was in sight, the Republicans, accord.

c damning their luck in being unable te

d and proposing to each other to g
v home at once. Mr.. Ainslie though
IS they might as well do SO, and, as HI
+ was exceedingly tired, went to bee
IS and remained there until the election
was over.
l. The returns from that precinc
@ have not been received, but it is be
r. lieved that the Republican majority
If obtained there will carry the tlcke
tt through, from top to bottom. II an,
is candidate on that ticket is left at tina
