1t was an ideal day for an election
and big vote was polled. The Re
publicans made strenuous efforts in al
the wards of Morristown and in every
ward all the Republicans voters were
rounded up or accounted for. A large
amount of cutting was INDUCED in
making the count of the vote slow
and tedious procedure. The last dis
trict, that of the first district of the
first ward, was not completed until af
ter two o'clock.
The election returns were received
in several locations in Morristown but
the most popular was the Republican
headquarters on Washington street
where Robert Jolley was Installed
with his stereopticon and moving pic
ture machine. The street was packee
from curb To curb with those anxious
to know the result and the moving
pictures and views shown during the
intervals between the returns were
hugely enjoyed. The Young Mems
Christian association was another
place where the returns were dissem
mated, while stereopticon views, mu
sical numbers and refreshments helped
to pass the time.
The result from the county is
not complete, a number of the dis
tricts sending in only majorities anG
not the full vote, so that it is impossi
BILE to-day to present the complete re-
turns.
