After the separate ballot had been
taken on assessor north of the creek,
Mr.. Waterhouse, the Democratic lead

become enlightened and would vote for
n motion to elect all the other officers
collectively.
Mr.. Bachmann retorted that he re-
served the right to vote as he pleased

same right.
Mr.. Waterhouse-I don't believe the
gentleman votes as he pleases-he votes
as he is dictated to vote. Cheers from
