Election passed off very quietly. The
vote for governor can be seen in another
column. Two ballots were required for
the election of a town representative.
The vote on the first ballot stood as fol-
lows: Seaver. go; Webster, 1873; Wright,
60; Prime, 20. Mr.. Webster Immediately
withdrew his name, after which second
ballot was taken. Out of POI votes Mr..
Seaver received 257, thus giving him the
election. Mr.. Seager is man who is held
in the highest respect by his associates
and as town representative will give care
full attention to the work entrusted to
him. Justices were elected as follows:
N. M. Scott, o. T. Willard, P. Guild, H..
T. Seaver, A. d. Mathews, G. H. Jones,
H. P. Cook, o. ID. Owen, o. g. Page, G. E.
Hamblet On account of decrease in our
republican vote our town will have one less
representative than it has had during the
past two years. Newport was able to
maintain its representation and as a
result leads this town by one representa-
tive, therefore giving it the largest repre-
sentation Of any town in the county.
Upon calling at the new Crystal Lake
: Hotel one day last week the reporter was
greeted by the affable young manager, Mr..
Frank w. Magoon, son of the proprietor,
who introduced US to the various attractive
improvements of the remodelled hostelry.
The neatness and symmetry of the struc-
. ture from the outside at once attract atten-
ton, but as matter of course the interior

main entrance, the principal feature OF
which is the beautiful counter made OF
curly birch by Gaylor of st. Johnsbury,
!. which corresponds in tint to the other
woodwork of the room. Adjoining on the
right is the check room, and the fact that
5 the use of this apartment is free to the
! guests is exceptional with the ordinary
: hotel. There are thirty one sleeping rooms,
each supplied with hot and cold water,
? steam heat, electric lights, bells, telephones,
' &c, and furnished with chamber suits in
/. oak and white enamel, French plate mir
