A Dry Cui in miner writing of the election in Tooele on Monday, s iy: I moved down to Sfo.-klo.i and found myself in tho midst of llaga, whisky, loud words, violent gesticulations gesticula-tions and all tiie eulhuaiasm ot a metropolitan me-tropolitan election. There were three ticLU iu the field, but tho only ono which 1 saw voted at Stockton was iho no-ealled "liberal ticket," and il hp and loud talk could be taken as evidence in lavor of its excellence it certainly iH a good one. The average enlightened vuur was brought up lo thu polls with Ihe aid of a couple of red-eyed whippcrs-in, and leaned up against the window sill. Whilst his locomotive aids supported him iu an oreel position he delivered bin vote., and was immediately lugged ofl by the aforesaid red-eye lo receive the promised quantum of tanglefoot in remuneration for the exercise of his unbiased franchise The order for the whisky, it is said, was sometimes some-times given by the judge of election, and in one case where the quantity was not considered sullicient, the voter made a luiilo attempt to shoot iho judge. Although at this liuio nothing definite defi-nite is known, yet tho election uf the men on the "Liberal ticket" is a foro gone conclusion, and it is at the rx-penna rx-penna of their every principle cf honor and manhood, an 1 prominent men of the parly who were watching the polls, were lorced lo turn away lu hide their blushes at the fdiarneluss manner in which ihe repeating was dune by their pariizaus. |
