Election passed OFF very quietly last
Tuesday. AS compared with the vote cast
two years ago the vote this year was light,
but compared with the average off year it
was favora bic. The vote for representative
stood 246 for 0. D. Owen and IA for Mr..
Cook, the Democratic nominee. Col Smith
received PSF votes for governor, while the
Democratic nominee, Mr.. MolOney, receiv-
ed %. Gen. Circuit polled 292 votes for
Representative to Congress. The small
vote cast this year will reduce the number
of state and county delegates which the
town at present has, but we shall still have
the lead over any town in the county.
Francis Jewell returned from the G. A.
r. Encampment at Cincinnati Saturday
afternoon. He reports that one of the
most taking features of the parade was a
visitor who dressed to represent 'tUncIe
SAM and who marched at the head of the
Vermont brigade carrying a banner which
bore the inscription "Dewey Did It." AS
the Vermonters passed the reviewing stand
its occupants rose and cheered SO loudly
that they drowned to music of the band.
The best judges at the Encampment placed
the LyndonvilIe band fourth on the list
in point of excellency. There We're 81
bands in the parade, a Cincinnati band of
100 pieces being considered the best.
