TIE ELECTION.
Complete Returns From the City and Nuuber
OF Townships heard from-A Light Vote
and Many Vest Pocket Tickets.

The election passed off quietly yester-
day. there being very small vote out;
much less than expected, the total being
about $500, while the registration is sug-
gestive of double that amount The di-
vlding of the city into seventeen precincts
was quite an inconvenience to many, not
having been able to find out where they
should vote, and after making one or two
attempts some would quit hunting for the
polls. There was less working at the polls
than usual, no crowds around to inspire
courage and no one to see. Carriages had
difficulty IN getting any one to fill them.
going around vacant. It seemed impos-
sible to get the voters out. Often men
were called up. and would not take time
to ride to the polls and vote.
One most noticeable feature was the
great number of vest pocket tickets. Men
would come to the polls and while passing
along they would be offered a
ticket. but would reply they
had one and by the time they
reached the judges would relieve an inside
pocket of ticket and leave it in the poll
box. This was one of the striking features
and had tendency to set at sea those who
had been accustomed to make reasonably
correct estimates on the result of an cleo
ton.
The fellows in the mutual business at
the Monarch were quite numerous. At the
close the combination Doran, j. r. Brown
aud L. Brown was ahead with close sec
ond in the straight Republican ticket.
During the day Republicans GOULD not
find enough money three to two for Brown
sheriff, but after the count commenced to
bets on Brown. For some time it was
three to two on Doran end that changed.
The Republicans early in the morning had
not quit thinking Doran would be elected,
but it was u little close to
bet. 1t is believed, however. his
vote in the county will overcome the
two hundred and one votes against him in
the city. Syl Duncan will be elected by
clever majority while it is thought there
is little doubt about Henderson, and
Clark.
From the information gained concern
ing townships it was estimated that Tom
Randall had been elected in the Third COM
missioner district. The vote from Greedy
when read at Republican headquarters
was responded to with loud yells. 1t was
one of the few of the evening. The Re-
publcans were just little blue; it did not
go exactly to suit them but when the Dem
ocrat gangs would come around they
would make the best Of the situation and
take it in good humor.
The returns from the city were in short
ly before midnight. The result complete
can be found in table given.
