tor of taxes, two auditors, six grand

1t is expected that the vote at the
polls this year will be heavy, mas
much as the democrats are showing
fighting spirit for the first time in
several years. They have elected

ing been the custom for the past sew
era years to unite with the republic
cans on at Jeast one candidate.
1t is understood that the democrats
are also going to have a rally some
time this week. Nothing has been
heard regarding that lately.
