CANE FOR CLEVELAND.
A fine, gold-headed cane was voted
for in the usual way, ten cents per
ballot. The competitors were Har-
rison and Cleveland, the winner to
be presented with the cane. Owing
to the sheep men being busy with
their stock, and the farmers being
absorbed with examining the hay
seed, grasses and angora goat skins,
the democrats got away with the
election. The vote stood Cleveland
POP; Harrison 237. Perhaps the re-
publicans will open barl on n small
scale, and swamp the democrats
to-day.
