REPORTS FROM LYNN AND BRoCKwAN
SHOW DEMOCRATIC GAINS.

Election-day began and continued
throughout with Il great deal of eX-
citement. Still an impartial observer
might readily have discovered which
way the wind blew. The forces on
one side were well marshaled and
under good leadership. On the other
side there was only confusion. Certain
candidates were putting forth at the
time good efforts; but they were ut hap
hazard and were not directed to Il
common end.
1he result verified the fears of the
most sanguine. The whole Union
ticket was elected 10y flattering ma
iorities. This ticket was made up of
| Patrons, Democrats, Prohibitionists,
and Republicans. 1t included some of
the strongest men from all the parties
1t was surely 4 strong ticket. The
ticket, which opposed it was entirely
| Republican. Yet it was not framed
evidently with sufficient foresight. Ii
naturally divided the Republican
forces, while those of the opposite
narty stood firm supported also by
dis.a tished Republicans.
The vote pOlled was = good one, be-
ing 446 out of 4S2 enrolled. The whole
! of the town was we'll represented.
BrOckway in particular sent up Il good
! rerresentation. he following is Il
