regularity. At some Of the voting precincts
there was that hardness which is always
observable when there is none Of the pro-
gress and fire that opposition brings out
About the middle Of the day it became
evident to Mr.. Jackson Guy that there was

a dOdgcr calling on the people TO resent
what he was pleased 10 call "this out
rageous conduct" and which he declared
was ''liable 10 be imposed upon any Of our
citizens who do rs have dOne-run indie

excitement at one Of the precincts IN Mon

passed without incident OF unusual sort.
