Prohibition 90
1873
u In the Non-Partisan ticket for
Nudge of the Superior court there
x were 1S0 votes cast, three persons
j failing to mark their ballot for a
T candidate. Cornelius Comegys, of
Lackawanna county, received near
ly half of the total number of votes
HAttorney Comegys ran ahead of the
ticket in Wayne county at ratio of
four to one.
Owing to the large number of can
didates for township offices, the vote
from some of the districts was long
counting. This was especially so in
Hawley borough where the election
officers were held up until late count
ing the vote. On the Washington
ticket there was one man named for
towo councilman and at the electino
fifteen or twenty names had been
written on the ballots and confused
the officers. 1t was the same on
other tickets.
Couldn't Convert the Burgess.
An amusing incident connected
when Burgess G. A. McCarty ap-
peared before the clerk at the polls.
Two ballo.s were placed before him.
The burgess took one and entered
the booth. Opening his ballot he
failed to locate the men of his choice,
: and glancing at the top of the ticket
discovered that he by mistake had
X picked up a Republican ticket in
stead of the one representing his
Aparty. Burgess McCarty returned
the ballot to the clerk, remarking
that he had voted the Democratic
ticket too long to make change
now.

tion for the office of Jury Commits
sioner on the Democratic ticket were

Despite the fact that there was no
contest on for State Committeeman
in the county the total vote for
each candidate was comparatively
large. The Democratic candidate,
w. j. Ferber, received a good vote.
c. H. Dorfinger, the Republican
nominee, was a close second and F.
S. Stephenson, the Washington par
r ty nominee, running third. The
! following is the total vote:
w. j. Ferber, ID ..62O
G. H. Dorfiinger, r 49,. 900

4 Not All District Returns Given.
On account of the large number OF
! candidates aspiring for nomination
at the primaries for township Off
ces throughout the county, we are
unable to publish all the returns fol
! all offices, and have taken the dis.
tricts that lie in the vicinity oi
Honesdale, only. 1t would be impos
sible to print the entire primary vote
by districts as it would undoubtedly
i crowd out all other news matter
