received letter from very prominent

Well, now, thisis news. surely. The very

of the township, personally interviewed

Morgan-eighteen republicans and three
democrats. Well. the ARGUS will not
dispute that, perhaps Morgan will get
twenty,one votes in Carbon Cliff. Ac-
cording to the vote cast for president IN
1884 ,Silvis would thus receive 156, on the
supposilion that the prohibition csndi
