The Election In Johnston.
The election in Johnston was the
quietest for many years, and Is not to be
compared TO the exciting election of last
spring. when the contest was SO close as
to be no election.
The Democratic leaders say that while
they expected a Republican victory yes
terday, they expected a larger vote.
More than 300 voters did not exercise
their right of franchise and the Demo
Gratis say the majority of them were
Democrats. They say AS a reason for
this absence from the PAGES that they did
not have money sufficient to work with
and could not get it, and that in conse-
quepce necessary work by teams could
not be done.
The Democrats also account for Mr..
Capron's majority by the fact that a
great many OF their party, especially
those OF the country, who are personal
and boyhood acquaintances of Mir.
Capron, voted for him because of their
personal friendship.
General Notes.
The election returns from the country
were received by special wire in the
rooms of the Republican Club in Irons
block.
The large number of ballots which
Warden Phillips announced AS defective
ones are because that cert ain number of
voters were too ignorant or careless tn
place an X upon the ballot.

Mems Association to have been held las I
