The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1888-03-15

THE ELEcTIoNs:-As was expected
there were two tickets in the field on cleo
ton day in this village, and the respec-
tive friends of the candidates did some
heavy work. One pleasant feature of the
day was that there was not adiscordant
jar from morning until night. What
work was done was in quiet, unobtru-
sive way, every one showing DISPOSE
ton to avoid unpleasantness. The total
vote was 322, or about fifty less than the
maximum number ever cast. The oppo-
sition ticket to that named in caucus, as
given elsewhere, had but two changes
]. A. Dubois against w. S. Dean for pres
ident, and ]. A. Gilman against ]. M.
Thomson for one of the trustees, other
wise they were identical. With such
names as were presented the voters felt
assured of the fact that whichever side
won the village was certain of a first
class board. The defeat of Mr.. Dean,
even by the narrow majority, was felt to
be a mistake, as he had proved valua-
bic member of the council, enterprising
and efficient, and not afraid to give his
personal assistance in cases of emergency
as was shown by the promptness with
which he acted after the late blizzard.
But for the feeling which was aroused
over meeting held the evening before
the caucus, he would have been elected,
and yet that meeting was in no sense
secret 'conclave, but an informal gather
ing for the purpose of discussing the mer-
its proposed candidates; nevertheless it
determined the election, and that ad-
versely to Messrs. Dean and Thomson.
The following is the vote in detail: Presi-
dent, ]. A. Dubois, 166, w. S. Dean, 1855;
trustees, w. D. Townsend, 293, Chas
Fish, 200, ]. A. Gilman, 1856, J. M.
Thomson, 1853; Recorder, w. P. Lam
bert, $40; treasurer, L. Kells, 800; jus
tees of the peace, ]. D. Carr, 3Os, VIM.
Boulton, 3O1, D. R. Jackson, II; consta-
bles, H. S. Doty, 800, B. F. Carr, 312.
The three trustees and the two justices
receiving the highest number of votes
were elected. Both constables named
were elected without opposition.
SAUK CENTRE TowN.-There was con-
siderable feeling at the township election,
