other Features of the Election Here.
Yesterday was splendid day for the
workers in this section, and every one of
hem took advantage of it. Rain had been
alling the greater part of Monday night,
out yesterday morning broke clear and
,loudless.

were quietly talking to whoever would

been so propitious. However, both the
republican and democratic workers were
warmly commended by the respective
party leaders for the work done.
