THE ELECTION. Mondays election passed
off very quietly in this city. There was no
unusual commotion in the streets and that
was belev ed to indicate a light vote, but when
the ballots were counted it was found that the
vote was little short of the average. At sup
per time, when the returns from the cities had
+ been received, and kennebec was reported as
giving big Democratic majority and Somer-
set as offsetting the 400 or more Republican
majority in Waldo county, Pattangall's cleo
ton was generally conceded. Later reports,
however, gave assurance of Republican VIC
| tory. 1t was practice night for the Belfast
| band and they were about to go home, when
; they were notified of Peters election and came
! out and gave few lively airs in front of the
Old Corner Drug Store Then bonfire was
started, with tar barrel to give it impetus,
| and horns were blown and other manifesto
| lions of enthusiasm shown. Later the Uolta-
/ rian church bell was rung, and then majority
! of the people of Belfast went to bed happy
