the two propositions for bonding the town and
for purchasing lands for park purposes. Earn
est work was done during the entire day for

attention was paid to party matters. But there
was no occasion for men to be coaxed or reason
ed into voting yes the propositions. for never
in the history of the town was there such a
| unanimous sentiment in favor of matter sub
itted to popular approval. There was but one
mind in the issue, and when the ballots were
counted. even the most sanguine supporters of
the measures were surprised st the result for
it was thought that at least half hundred
opposition ballots would be cast. but on count
ing the contents of the two boxes, the alleged
dimensions of the hostile movement dwlndled
into Significance, and all apprehensions over
the m after faded into thin air.
