The political campaign which closes to-
day Will long be remembered as the quiet
est ever held in this county Since the
close OF the democratic primary election
and the nominating convention Of the re-
publicans, political affairs appear to have
been left to drift along in their own way
without any special attention from the
leaders. The bad feeling engendcred in the
democratic ranks by the alleged shady
practices OF the ring managers in sec IT,
ing the nominees on the legislative ticket
Is still supposed to exist in all parts of the
county, and as election day approaches this
feeling finds expression in ali quarters
That a bad feeling exists no one is left in
doubt, but how far this feeling will in
nuence the vote remains to be seen. That
some alarm Is felt among the leaders is evil
denced by the fact that during the Fast few
days large number of circular letters have
been sent out by the chairman Of the
democratic central committee to persons
In each district, urging them to assist in
getting out the party vote. The leaders Of
| that party. however, still appear to be san
gulne OF success, although some admit by
reduced majority. The meeting OF the re-
| publican leaders, held here few days
ago, has set at rest the rumor industrously
| circulated that there was division in the
party, and 1t Is now believed that the full
| republican vote will be boiled. At this
place, for some days past rumors have
been afoat that an effort was being made
10 Sp the republican voters Icy means
or brides and promises OF different kinds
| ana this matter has received some attsn-
ton from the republican leaders. Under
the Australian system Of voting it is pos
sible to purchase all the votes that may be
on the market but the difficulty lies in hav-
Ing them delivered according to contract
Moreover, any vote-buying scheme under
| the present sytem would amount to a con-
spi1acy, as 1t could not be successfully car
rled out without the connivance and as
sistance of election officials. The penalties
prescribed for such offenses are so severe
that 1t is doubtful whether even the bold
est and most reckless election manipula-
tors would undertake such a scheme.
