THE LITTLE ELECTION-The
election yesterday for Inspector
and Assessor was the most quiet,
lazy affair we recollect to have
ever seen. During the morning
there were scarcely a dozen men at
/ the window at any time and the
unusual spectacle was presented of
the two window men seated on
either side in front in comfortable
arm chairs. BY the middle of the
afternoon it had somewhat the ap-
pearance of an election, but the
day closed without so much as a
contention. The result was a sur
prise to both parties, the Demo-
Gratis having usually a large ma
jority. The number of votes poll
ed was 529 the votes for the candi-
dates being as follows: For Inspec-
tor, J. 3. Evans, Rep, 263, DR.. z.
M. Cloak, Dem, 263. "A tie, the
latter, however, being elected by
the casting vote of the Inspector.
For Assessor, William G. Truax,
Rep, 27O; Peter p. Collins, Dem,
251; majority for Mr. Truax, 49,
Two years ago, 1880, the number
of votes polled at the Little Elec-
tion was 528, the Democratic ma
jority being 1873. In 1876 the vote
was 438 and the Democratic ma
jority 164, and in 1874 the vote was
SOB and the Democratic majority
35. In 1878 the Republicans made
no nominations. The vote polled at
the big election two years ago was
$50, the Democratic majority, 127
