NO TROUBLE AT ALL.

TO ELECT THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN TOWN TICKET. The town election Monday was a quiet and unexciting affair, although our Democratic brethren made a strong but quiet effort to elect s#me of their candidates. Their efforts did not succeed a little bit, as the figures below will show- A pretty large vote was polled, namely 322, but even that number lacks from 50 to 75 of being a full vote. Last year" the total vote was 2C5. The vote by precincts is here given. -'■ ~’ / ~~ West East Total. Trustee 3rd Ward. J. J. Eiglesbach, D... —55 66 121 G.

Jordan, D.. .. 53 64 117 Thos. McGowan, R.. 109 88 197 McGowan’s majority 80 The average majority is 79. Last year it was 78, or just 1 less. . People have got pretty well “on to” the Australian voting business and very few vote's were spoiled by mistakes of the voter, In the west precinct there was only one wholly lost. That was stamped on the title “Democratic Ticket” instead of inside the rooster square. Several votes, however, on both sides, were stamped only for the first man on the ticket, and, of course, the vote was lost except for that one candidate. This accounts for the fact that the total vote for the trustees for the third ward is 9 more than the total for any other office.
