Of course only such Democrats were allowed to Vote that would vote the way ' Bev. wanted them. If the.poll book, is shown* it will be found that thereweremany votes from the Democratic par­ ty. But then this should not cut much of a figure when there was a candidate oh. the primary ticket that has beena life long -Democrat, bom and nourished in the Democratic faith. Politics is often forgotten in factional strifes. The Editor of the Herald went in to cast his vote but was informed that it would be challenged. The.balIotWS$marked ’ When Jamea H.

Nerved on probably by the pain of the broken rib "SunnyJim” pulled andhauled Brownuntil both the brothers Were on him. Marshal Grindle and John Spencer, colored, took a hand and out Brown went. The third round was the funniest of all. TheMg "Judge” and hislittlebrother, "Sunny Jim” saw thehappiest timein all their life in getting a,chance at their old time friend, K, P.
