rnK Town ELECTION

Last Thursday the annual cleo
ton for town officers took place,
and as we indicated last week, the
ring bad entire charge OF the mat
ter. The Democrats refused to get
out any ticket or pay any attention
to the matter. The Republican
Ring ticket was elected as follows !:
Mayor. j. Guseman, 81 votes.
Recorder-H. S. Whctsell, 60.
Councilmen--N. J. Fortney, Ca:
l.. NJ. Albright, "a; W. II. Haney.
So; George a. Williams G7, ond }
w. Flynn 81.
The only other ticket was IL
cense ticket gotten out by the Lime
Kiln Club for a joke, but it scared
the Ring badly anyhow. and made
them hustle around all day and get
their gang out. The license ticket
had nobody behind 1t and no one
TO work for it, aud there was hardly
man on it who would have served
il he had been elected. None Of
them were consulted or knew they
were on the ticket till it was ont,
and then most Of them disowned
1t and declared they would not
serve il elected, and this Of course
hurt the ticket and lost it votes.
but still it came near pulling
through, and would have carried
had the vote all been out. Most Of
the Democrats did not vote or paw
any attention to it. Owing to the
bad condition of the towns affairs,
no one would take hold except the
Ring, End they are in the same po-
sltion MS the man who had the bear
by the till. Here is the Lime KIN
KIub ticket and the vote OH it:
Mayor-C. NJ. Bishop, 46.
Recorder. Il. Murdoch, DO.
Councilmen John II. Brown,
43; Felix Elliott, Jr., 40; P. j..
Orogan, A; Francis lIeermans 81,
and Robert b. Brown 81.
For License 3S, and against LII
cense 10 votes.
The sentiment of the town is
now undoubtedly in favor Of IL
cense, and a special election should
be held to vote on that and moth
ing else, and have fair and square
test of The matter. rhe Commits
sioners who held the election were
Elisha Thomas, G. W. Fawcett and
Joseph jackson, and the Clerks
were J NJ. Crane and w. A. Stone.
