Never in the history Of the county has
an election produced one half the excite
ment, or been so holly contested as the
present. The republicans, aided by every
possible outside influence have made the
most desperate efforts TO elect their ticket.
The democrats though late in getting TO

aroused nor so well organized. Every
mothers son Of them has thrown his whole
soul into this fight, But their organization
was made within the last week. The repub-
licans have been hard at work for two
months. All sorts OF stories are in circula-
ton as TO the amounts Of money in the
hands of both parties. The republicans

indeed been a disgrace, deep and lasting, TO
he county and have shown conclusively
hat our people instead of improving In
