The Local Elections.
Source: Wellsboro Agitator -  February 1875

[Note from Joyce: We are working from a very unclear image of this article. So, you may find names that you know are not quite right.  In the areas of the county that I personally know well, I am able to figure them out accurately. I am not familiar with the names in all the townships, so some inaccuracies may appear here. If you can identify any with absolute certainty, please politely notify me.]

The local elections last Tuesday passed off very quietly in this county, the issues being mainly of a personal rather than of a political character.  In this borough the tickets had been made up by private consultation, no public caucus having been called.  There were several kinds of printed ballots in the field, and many voters exercised the inalienable right of scratching and making up tickets to suit themselves.  The issue here was made by the firemen, who succeeded in electing their candidates for Burgess and Councilmen.  Lucius Truman was elected Burgess by 243 votes over C. L. Willcox, who received 123.  The votes for the rest of the candidates are given below:

Councilmen. – Charles Toles, 229; George O. Derby, 237; Walter Sherwood, 281; E. J. Brown, 228; Pharez Houghton, 91; Robert Kelsey, 95.
