Hurrah for Fennimore! Gradually
she acquires the elements of corporate
greatness, like Milwaukee. Chicago and
her other compeers. Heretofore we
have been as one household, having
our little discussions but managing to
smooth them over and jog along with
some degree of unanimity ia our local
affairs. But change has come over
the spirit of our peaceful dream. A
middle wall of partition has been set
up and this is how it happened: A eau
Gus for the nomination OF village Off
GERS was held last Friday evening. The
aggressive attitude of temperance peo-
pie for some time past in agitating the
liquor question has alarmed our half
dozen saloon-keepers and they came in
to the caucus a solid body panoplied
and prepared to vote down any and ev-
cry man not in sympathy with their in
terests. By skillful and active manipu-
lation before and at the caucus the tick
ct prepared by them was carried by a
considerable majority, the temper ance
element receiving no recognition what
ever in the choice of their candidates on
the ticket. Hence ensued the split.
The temperance advocates next day
made up ticket of their own, and now
the two forces have locked horns and
taken issue which will probably stand
as the main factor in our village poll
tics for an Indefinite time to come. The
liquor mems ticket was carried with
clean sweep except Village Justice,
which the opposition gain. Following
is the result: For President, G.. Wehrle,
76; H. III. Hampton, AZ. For Trustees,
Geo. w. Parker, rs; John Sneider, rs;

yer, 4S. For Treasurer, l.. A. Powers,
II; Chas. A. Wilson. 81. For Police
Justice, Milton Shearer, 20; Sigmund
