sOlate.

sOlate.
The few in York township who think
to keep and run matters in the family
line to their own advantage, by secret
night meetings and otherwise, will take
lesson from last Mondays election.
On that day a full-fledged Democratic
ticket was presented to the people for
their support-a ticket gotten up and
arranged under the personal dictation
of the "kingly few" But alas. what a
check The most valuable offices in the
township were given the Republicans,
and those of the Democrats who were
elected received majorlties of from 4 TO
10 votes, where it used to Inn from 80
to 100; one only received full vote.
If the honorable gentlemen leaders
fail to take the hint from this, they will
get more of it next time.
A few years since the Republicans of
Washington township, in like manner.
became so corrupt, the people arose in
their might, and elected a full board of
Democrats. After two or three years,
the noted clique learned that they too
were only men, quieted down, and mat>
ters turned in the old channel all right.
