Show (cncrnl lllcction. The election throughout tlie Territory, Terri-tory, yesterday, passed oil unusually quiet, and comparatively few votes were polled for the number of vok-rs there are. Of course the People's candidates are elected, there being no opposition ticket in the field, and few oppo-ition votes pulled. The returns which had been received by the County Coun-ty Clerk of Salt Luke county, last night, stood as follows: Salt Lake City First Precinct, -tlo; Second, 417; Third, ISoO; Fourth, SuH; Sugar House precinct, 01 ; Bri-hton, 111; Xorth Jordan, o:t. Messrs. E. D. Hoge, C. C- Wilson and Sydney Hudson Hud-son each received one vote for councilor coun-cilor to ihe Legislative assembly; 'and Messrs. 0. H. Kiggs and Warren Duscnberry, one each for commis sioners to loi ate l Diversity lands. With the above exceptions the People's ticket was unscratched. The complete com-plete returns for the county will probably prob-ably be in to-day. If there has been no more interest taken in the election in the other counties of the Territory than in this the number of votes cast will be less than at any other general election held for some years. From Little Coltonwoixl our special correspondent reports that there was no excitement; that Win, Gill Mills was undoubtedly electa! Justice of the Peace, and W. P. Rowc constable. Bingham was also rcpqrtcd quiet, with not a heavy vote polled. The Journal, of lost evening Bays,re-ferriug Bays,re-ferriug to the voting at the polling place of "the leading precinct in the Territory," the City Hall in this city: There were two persons, supposed to be officers of election, and certainly receiving and depositing the prepared ballots of men, women and children presenting themselves as voters. The insertion of the wort! "children" "child-ren" is a deliberate falsehood, of the usual kind that emanates from that source. |
