Rensselaer Republican, Volume 27, Number 37, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 May 1895 — THE TOWN ELECTION. [ARTICLE]

THE TOWN ELECTION.

Everything Goes Republican, Of Course. The town election was very quiet and uninteresting. Fully as much so as last year, when there was practically no opposition to the Republican ticket. The total vote cast was only 276. Last year it was 271, and the year before, with many less voters in town, it was 322 It would be safe to estimate that fully one third of our voters did not go to the polls at all Monday. The total vote by precincts is as follpws: West East. Total. Trustee, 3rd Ward. J. J. Eiglesbach, D. 34 48 82 E. D. Rhoades, R. 101 88 189 Rhoades’majority, 107 Trustee sth Ward. D.
