TOWNSHIP ELECTIONS-1882
CLARK COUNTY HERALD
11-APRIL-1882

The elections in the several townships of this county, held on Tuesday last, passed off 
quietly, though in most precincts the contests were hot and were fought desperately.   
Politics cut but a little figure in the races and was raised in but few of the townships, the 
opposition contending for or against some local issue.   In Auburn Township the question 
was upon the division of it, and from the overwhelming majority given Hurst, who 
opposed it, it is plainly evident that the people are satisfied with things remaining as they 
are.   The Board of Supervisors will now stand, 9 Democrats, 5 Republicans and one lost 
child, Bill Harris, of York.   Below we give the results of the various townships:
