ELECEION.

streets that we were to nave lively
election. The judges and clerks were
on hand early and at eight o'clock, the
hour appointed by law, Sheriff Pascoe
declared the polls open, The va
rious candidates, anticipating close
vote, were alive to the exigencies Of
the case, and with their friends worked
hard for their respective interests.
Vehicles of every description were
kept going all day bringing voters to
the polls. Many an honest citizen
thought, when he reached the vicinity
of the polls, that he had fallen into the
hands of the Philistines and felt re-
lieved when he had successfully run
the gauntlet and saw his ballot safely
deposited in the box.
Inside the polls everything went
smoothly. The election officers were
familiar with their duties and the on
ly delays were occasioned by voters
not knowing their register numbers.
Only two challenges were made dur
ing the day, one would not stick and
the other was withdrawn and the
voters were permitted to deposit their
ballots. Votes came in rapidly for
some time after the opening of the
polls and also for a short time after
the noon recess and the clerks had all
they could do for while. Promptly
at the hour of sunset the polls were
closed and it was found that 455 votes
had been cast-a larger number than
was expected for the Globe precinct.
After hasty supper the counting
of the ballots was begun and prog
ressed rapidly. The closest runs were
between Bailey and Reed, candidates
for the council; Pascoe and Lowther,
opponents for the shrievalty and Swa-
sey and Fox, seeking the Office Of Pro-
bate Judge. Each of the candidates
mentioned were at sometime during
the count In the lead, which made it
interesting until the finish, and the
space in the room set aside for specta-
tors was crowded all night with eager
faces. At 3:45 a. m. the last ballot
was read and the agony was over.
The tally sheets were then arranged
and signed, the ballot box sealed and
at few minutes to four o'clock the
arduous work of the election officers
was finished. Their work was done
expeditiously and well. The officers
were E. o. Kennedy, Inspector; Thos.
Lonergan and J. H. Hamill, Judges;
John w. Palmer and Frank Liver
more, clerks. The following is the
