A Complication.

It looks now as if the old justices of the peace in Union township, Squire Lamoine and Squire Wiseman, will hold their offices until another election. Union township is only entitled to two justices of the peace and the clerk’s call only called for two, but through some one’s error three candidates were nominated and three names went on the ticket, the three Republican candidates being elected. The attorney general has given the opinion that this invalidates the election so far as the justices of the peace are concerned, which would let the present Democratic justices hold over.
