The Election

Apathy was a marked character
istic of Tuesdays election in High
land. In spite of the fact that
friends of the two candidates tor
Congress were more or less active,
only a small vote was polled in the
county. The vote at Monterey
precinct alone fell short of its full
strength something like 100, and
the proportion was much the same
at all the precincts.
In these latter days HIGH and
has departed from the dlsorderly
scenes and partisan feeling that
formerly characterized election oc-
casions, and public sentiment has
long since put its foot on the use
of booze as a vote 'getter.
1t is to be regretted that any
among well-meaning electorate
should lose their votes by careless
or hasty marking. At this precinct
on Tuesday seventeen ballots
could not be counted on this &C
count.
Highland was the only county
in the district carried by Rever-
comb. Rockbridge gave Flood
500 majority, Bath 1873, Botetourt
$50. SIemp was elected in the
min tn.
The following is the result by
precincts as reported, though'the

DEPEW NOW EXPECTS
STRIKE SETTLEMENT
Arbitration Board Reopens
Case and Militia Pitches
Tents for Long Stay.

Depew. n. Y, March 25.-Ehorts to
bring about a settlement Of the strike al
the Gould coupler works will be re-
sumed tomorrow through the state
Board Of Arbitration. Manager c. w
Hayden, for the company. made an APP
pointment to meet Patrick J. Downey and
James McManus. of the state board. and
the striking moulders and core-makers
clothed their committee with full power
TO take up the negotiations with the COM
pany.
The success OF the state officials in re-
opening the case and statements by other
officials of the company that they would
give the medators all possible help en-
couraged the belief that settlement Of
the strike is not improbable.
Aside from the firing OF a few shots in
the early morning, there were no serious
disturbances during the day. Many of
the men, il is said, had given up hope Of
reaching an agreement with the company
and had left the city. The military au-
thorities, however, extended the zone
under military control. the patrols were
increased, and orders were issued to sem
tries to act promptly in enforcing order.
4 permanent camp was established for
part OF the troops on the borders of the
coupler works grounds to-day.
The plant was operated under half a
force, according TO Manager Hayden, the
men being brought to Depew and back TO
Buffalo on a special train guarded by de-
tails from the 74th Regiment.
Sheriff Frederick G. Becker was so we'll
satisfied with the peaceful aspect OF
things to-day that he reduced the num-
Der of deputies on duty. He said. how
ever. that he would not dispense with
military protection for some time.
