The Town Election.


The annual corporation election
was held on Monday, and there being
but one ticket in the field, the event
passed off quietly and resulted in the
election of the present council without
opposition. The council is composed
of Robert G Miller, mayor Samuel
J. Hodges, recorder Joseph L Cook
us, Henry c. Reynolds, B. F. Harri-
son, S. P Humrickhouse, Jr., and NJ
E Spohn, councllmeu.
The question of license or no license
to sell liquor was voted upon, and
the "wets" won by 40, the largest
majority they have had in years The
vote was 132 for license and SO
against license. The managers of the
liquor advocates had paid up the
taxes of all those who usually vote
wet, while the temperance people
made no campaign beyond voting
their sentiments. The total vote cast
was 900.
The colored brother was in his
glory on Monday. 1t was the day
when he had the glorious privilege Of
exercising the franchise of the free
American citizen, and he exulted in
it. With great pride he cast his bal.
lot, and while he wasn't bothered
much about candidates, he manifested
the deepest interest in the issue Of
license or no license. 1t is perhaps
safe to say that 40 out of every 80
voted to throw the saloons wide open,
and their unanimity in this respect
has made the town good and wet.

duties of the office to me while he con-

of the whole cloth, having no founda-
ton whatever, and is great injustice
