The result of the election in this
town, with the complete vote, We
give elsewhere. After the announce
ment of the 9TH ballot for representa-
tive, Major Stafford withdrew from
the contest in favor of any good Re
publican the people might select. I'm
,nediately boom was started for G
IL. Page, and he was elected on tn
second ballot following. 1t woul'
seem that the Greenback vote, durini
the day included many Republicans, 10
it fell upon the last ballot to the modes
sum of 80. Mirage has neld the offic

he would support all measures amin
to strict enforcement of the presen
listing law, and having voluntariI
taken this position, the public can re
ly upon his sticking to the text. Pag
will register as a farmer. 1t is bl
