Thst the people Of Hampton are

ments WIS demonstrated again yes
terday. when the voters OF the city.
by a large majority in favor OF the
proposition, voted to issue bonds in
the sum Of 100000 for permanent i'm

The overwhelming victory Of the
supporters OF the bond issue was not
expected. although it was foregone
conclusion that the issue would be
successful. OF the total vote cas-,
1886, the vote in favor of the bonds
was 262. while IS persons voted
against the measure and nine ballots
were thrown cut.
At present there, is a total regis
tration in the city of 500 voters and
it will be seen that little more than
half of those entitled to vote upon
the matter of bonding the city to
the extent of 100000 failed to exer-
else their privilege. However. many
who favored the bond issue did not
vote. Had the vote been larger the
victory for the issue might have
been greater. The result shows that
for every man that opposed the Is
