The Election,

Nothing like the unruffled quiet of yesterday's election was ever seen in Carson City. The only excitement that was caused was by some parties who came into town with a two horse wagon under the impression that a large force of boodlers were to appear in the streets with a sack and that votes were to command $7 50 apiece. When they learned that nothing of the kind was going to happen and that votes were not even worth a glass of beer, they began hunting for the parties who fooled them, with blood in their eyes.

There was but one ticket in the field-the ticket mentioned last week in the APPEAL. The few cranks who had been predicting that some other ticket was to be sprung, were very much disappointed. Late in the afternoon a crank ticket made its appearance, but it only excited a smile on the street, and here and there a man would agree to vote it, "just for a guy."

The election resulted in the success of the regular ticket. The figures were as follows:

Bryson (at large), 138.
Klein,51.
Wooley, 85.
C. N. Harris, 1.
