The entire township republican ticket and part of the democratic ticket was elected at Tuestay’s “election. The township being entitled to two justices and two constables caused no opposition to the offices as there was only one nominee for each party. The defeat of Mr. Drake for commissioner is to be regretted, and is a sad blow to Hanging Grove, a republican township, to turn down one of our own men, and evidently if those who scratched their ticket thus, had a Second chance they would walk into the booth and mark their ballot straight.
