PENDLETON'S ELECTION . j No town west of tho Mississippi is like Pendleton. She has a distinctive swing all her own. Yesterday we happened to be in Pendleton during the city election at which time Johnnie Montgomery and Dr. Rest were contesting for the mayorship, and it was o heated event. iammany never had a better or ganization that each of these candi dates had.

The usual amount of betting which Pendleton is always accredited with and bad government under any form. "For forms of government let fools contest; : ' That which is the best administered is best."
