» « At7 o'clock on Tuesday morning last began one of the hardest }H>litieal fights ever known in this country. In our own town the fight was not lacking in • r ™

interest, and Olu pleasing feature of the contest was tke fhd tbat instead of the usual class of politicians #ho work at tbe polls the bast chitons of both parties turned-out and lent a helping hand. No liquor Was sold during the day, and the good order resulting from this rule was _be«y noticeable. Vfe> did not see a single MirNuil wko nlaf the appearance of being intoxicated. We •t# informe*! that a| the election in this R^yllufmll as high As fiBO.OO was I taid for a single* vote ; this time the I bar'ls Were low and but little was done iu tbe way of buying votee. About sixty men were seen standing on the comer of Ataiu and Mechanic streets for six hours, evidently waiting for bids, but towards night, we are informed, they became disgusted and offered to sell themselves for fifty cents. The Rei publican headquarters were open and, judging from the amount of running in and opt, there was considerable solid work being done. The Democratic headquarters were also alive % with "bueiaeea," In spite of the earnest work tfia 4ack of herd 'w ords was fo ha commended. Below we give the official vote of Gape May county ;
