O'Clock, and before II a great
many reports, unofficial, though far
the most part reliable, were receiv-
ed. Scores of kilograms were sent
here from the railroad towns in the
county, but every bit of news that
came tended to mix the result
rather than settle it in any direc-
ton.
The returns were greeted with
shouts of approval, first by the
friends of one candidate, then by
those of another, so, when at last
the crowd dispersed, no concessions
had been made, so close was the
contest OF the day, and each parti-
cular candidate and his friends
were hopeful of success.
Delegates from the various vot-
ing precincts began to arrive early
Monday and the count was
commenced at the Office of Sec.
rotary Steele, ofthe County Central
Committee. The count progressed
throughout the day and was COM
pleted that afternoon a! $50.
