The lute i iser yesterday morning

"A StHwurt!” was the cry.
The tiiBt incident was the strata
gem of tli* Bojil and Powell forcea
in buying tha colored hand away
from Stewart afteg it had already
engaged to them. '1 his legitimate
piece of political tineas# caused tome
atotiu of word* and feeling, which
somewhat appeased when the white
band, all indent supporters of Staw
art, turned out for him.
From the start Stewart showed
grant strength und it wasthe general
impression during most of the day
that ha was ahead. The novelty ot
the contest drew m<«st of the inter
est away ftotu the uldenuaaic race,
and old candidates paused in the
fray to speculate on the fight between
the chiefs.
Boyd worked well, bo.t said that b e
would rather run against four old
men than one boy. The tactics of
the former he could understand and
offset and their objections ho coaid j
argue against; but when young men
got tlinir heads set it wits hard to j J
Lead theta off. It was something
like young David going out with his i
little sling lo meet the heavy armed
Goliath. The unexpectedness of tha j
m muer of attack was in itself para i
lyzing—not to mention the indai’i* i
of the proceeding.
The polls ware provided with the .
customary bandboxes (if anything a
little more dilapidated specimen*
than usual) for depositing the ballots,
which could have been knocked off the |
table ami the contents scattered by a
single blow. Among other improve j
aunts Griffin may someday have a !
regular locked ballot box, well made
of wood and having some
