There were no drunEen men on the
.treet. no disputes nor fights, and the /
citizens Of Orrnsi,y can be congratulated
on the fact that n more orderly election
never took place here.
Tbe various candidates were out early
rustling for dear life and the voters were
brought III from the hills and valleys IN
all sorts Of ~conveyances to get them t"
the ballot box. Some of the voters came
as far as OvertOn, in NeNad Cou,ity
california TO vote. being men VINO hao
only gone to work recently and had not
lost their residence.
1t was generally understood at the
close of the fight that the Republicans
had traded their ticket off to get Sheriff
the County Commissioners ana the iegls-
lative ticket.
In the afternoon there were a good
many scalping knives out and there was
general individual scramble for place.
There were no signs of money being
used on either side, and the sell-out con-
tingent. who waited until a late hour for
Doodle, got badly left.
1t was plain to see that about 3 O'Clock
the Republicans had lost their nip and
had been practically fought to a stand
still. were out-worked and out-generaid-
ed and their coluns going to pieces.
Ahout 4 O'Clock the special edition of
the News that was looked for with such
anxiety to bring the fiogging spirit OF
the G.. o. P. people came out and when it
was read another layer Of gloom settled

publican columns made another houn-
dering charge atth prllS.
At Empire the election was as quiet as
sunny sabbath day, Sam L~ongahaugh,
James Virgins and Janes Woodbury.
were the main political navigators in the
field and the voters who went to the
pools, asa rule, said they were voting
silver straight.
The attempted f1op-doodle scheme of
the Republicans to arrest Edmund
James on the charge of bribery was not
regarded seriously by he voters. 1t was
the old scheme that had been so often
worked by the Republicans that no ONT
seriously considered it.
There was a hot contest between Briggs
and Kinney and between Cowing anc
Tyrrell.
The fight over the District Attorney
ship WAS also IA warm one and It the time
the pools closed the friends of eac!
cl.imed the victory.
THE COUNT.
After the ballot boxes were opened an
the snap shot tall!es taken of the leailn
offices on the ticke, the word went do"
the line like a cold shudIer aud the Re
publicans realized that they were beatel
at least, for the principal places on tn
ticket with a slim nance Of gettin
ever the minor Offices. 1t was a tr'
mendous astonisher for they We're n
prepared for such a hard stroke.
By 10 O'Clock they hal given up all Ii
and a. the count progressed their fac
elongated and thew gradually disappea
ed from the polling places. 1t locke
for all the world like the scenes that we
witnessed in Ormsby six years ago.
