Another meeting was called for last night. The democrats made decided gains in the town elections held last Monday. In our own vicinity Monon, Reynolds and Chalmers each elected the entire democratic ticket; Monticello divided about even as did Goodland, Kentland and Morocco ; Wolcott elected the entire democratic ticket with the exception of marshal and one councilman ; Remington turned up the greatest surprise of all, and elected the entire citizens' ticket, which was composed of all democrats. Wheatfield had but one ticket, republican, and of course it was elected. The democrats are in control in Kentland, Morocco, Remington and Wolcott.
