constable, and c. F. Acker, republican
nominee for the same Office F'itzpat-
rick received the democratic nomina-
ton without trouble but his friends
were not satisfied with that, and those
who were republicans wrote in his
name as the republican nominee. The
result is that he received 124 votes for
the republican nomination, and Acker

feet on the fight waged by Robinson

curing majority of only about 700
votes. That Cook was able to mar
shall nearly 1900 votes was looked on
