OF the Candidates had u
Close Shave.

Close shave.
Election day has come and gone,
md the candidates for the several
offices throughout the county breathe
easier. Those who were successful
are being congratulated, and those
who we're defeated are telling how
it happened. The day was beau
tiful election day, and the vote ID
most every election precinct in the
county was gotten out. In Laporte
borough the vote was very large-a
few more than at the fall election.
Cutting was INDUCED in throughout
the county, except in few OF the
precincts where a Union caucus was
held without opposition. This cuts
ting Of the ballots made it impossl-
ble to foretell the result. The fight
here was centered on school direc>
tors and was of more than ordinary
interest. There were two school
directors to be elected. The candl~
dates were: On the Democratic
ticket-Thos. Beahen and j. w.
Flynn. On the Union ticket. A.
Jordan and W. B. Hill. The vote
for these candidates were: Beahen,
As; Flynn, 81; Jordan, Al; and Hill,
~. This was very close margin
compared with the remainder OF the
Democratic ticket. The most popu-
lar men on the Democratic ticket,
were Robt. Stormont for j. p, and
Walter Spencer for Treasurer. The
voters of the I'd ward were conveyed
to the polls in private conveyances.
There are about 25 voters in the
Cd ward. One Of this number, Eras-
tus Yagle, was challenged on the
ground that his wife and family re-
side in Williamsport. But notwith-
standing the challenge the vote was
accepted by the election board. This
was considered rank 10y the on look
ers and it is barely possible that the
election will be contested because
of this move on the part Of the elec~
tion officers. 1t is very important
for the good of the public in general
that unprGjudiced men shall fll the
Office of Judge and Inspectors of
election. Walter Spencer was per-
haps one Of the fairest judges that
ever occupied this nosiLion on our
election board aud we have every
reason to believe that cur judges
elect, Chas. Landon will be equally
as popular.
