The Daily Texarkanian., 1896-05-17
A LARGE VOTE P0LLED.

=
which could be worked easily as the
various carriages deposited the
voters at the different voting boxes,
The ticket contained some twenty
or thirty names and every candi-
date had from one to two carriages
with banners flying from the sides
announcing the name and for what
office sought after. It-was an aus
picious day for the Miller county
Democracy.
The reporter visited every box IN
the city, but the silent ballot box
system and it legalized kept the clerk
from even giving out a hint-if
they had any, as to what candidates
were leading in the race.
The reporter getting no satisfac-
tion of the above kind, busted hlm-
self with getting the names of the
gentlemen holding the election.
Ward One, Mr.. George Reed, j.
7. Murphy and John Berry were the
Judges and W. H. Booth and John
Buchanan the clerks.
Ward Two, Geo. W. Treher, ].
H. Arnold and Eugene Schuster
we're the judges and E. c. Smither,
J. B. Williams the clerks.
Ward Three, A. j. Mathews, A.
]. Kregg and r. A, Munson were
the judges and Charles Phillips and
Ira Higgs the clerks.
Ward Four, W. D. Hobgood, G,
W. Barrow, G. G. Brashear the
Judges and S. E. Templeton and ].
p. Hudkius the clerks.
Garland township box, B. B.,
Moore, W. W. Magee and Will
Owens the judges and Monroe
Sowards0 and Henry Kelley the
clerks.
The votes at the various boxes
were largely in excess of what it
was two years ago at the primary,
which shows the people are paying
their poll taxes better and taking
more interest in politics or rather
who shall officer our county.
UNOFFICIAL VOTE.
We held our forms opel until
after midnight, and are thus en-"
abled to give the unofficial vote
from all of the city, and some of
the country boxes, as shown below
Garter carried every box, by from
10 to 80 to his opponents one vote,
hence we do not give it, and we
have not time or space to give
county offices not contested for.
But here is the vote, as best we
could get it, and we think it rea-
sonably accurate:
