The election here Monday passed off
very quietly there hardly being interest
enough manifested to get the voters out,
surely not enough to get anything like a
full vote from any party. The Republic
cans threw 1877 against 242 in 1896 and
the Democrats 66 against 104 at tho last
election. There were IL Prohibitionists
while in 1895 they numbered "a, and the
Peoples Party which threw II votes two
years ago were reduced TO @ voters last
Monday and one vote was thrown for
the National Democratic party. There
were Is votes lost by imperfect marking
"a greater number than at any previous
Australian ballot.
