The First Municipal Election
of the town, we will trace the history of the campaign back a week or two before the election in order to show the people of to-day a little of the "spleen" and "backbone" that the politicians of those days exhibited.
We are indebted to the Manning MONITOR, dated March 2, 1882, for the following :

POLITICS IN MANNING.
The Strife For Power .- Two Nominations Made For Town Officers .- "The Makepeace Party Try to Steal a March" and are Set Back by a Mass Convention.
Immediately upon the settlement of the question of incorporation, the people of Manning began to cast about to see who would serve them best in the capacity of town officials. On the day of the election for in- corporation it was very generally agreed that a convention should be held on last Saturday evening to select a ticket, but long before that date a few choice spirits got together in Lawyer Makepeace's office and made up a slate and appointed last Thursday evening to hold a caucus. It could not be kept a secret, of course, but when the time came those best informed rushed together and in less than ten minutes the nominations were made and the hall was cleared. By diligent inquiry it was learn- ed that one George Washington (?) Makepeace !! was put at the head of the ticket and a number of very excellent citizens were made to "play second fiddle" to boost him into office. To say that many if not all of them were ashamed of the position in which they had been placed, is drawing it mild. Nor are they all responsible for being in bad company; but some are, and sought to be put there. The people quietly talked the matter over and on Saturday evening came together to the number of one hundred or more and deliberately set about the formation of a ticket that should command the respect and confidence of the community. S. L. Wilson called the meeting to order and nominated Seth Smith, chair- man, and J. B. Ingledue was chosen secretary. The following resolu- tion was adopted by the convention, viz :
RESOLVED, That all persons who take part in these proceedings hereby bind themselves honestly and faithfully to support the nominees of this convention.
Notwithstanding this resolution, nearly all the nominees of the former caucus persisted in voting in this mass convention for themselves as they were not fully satisfied with their former nominations and sought to strengthen it a little.
THE CLIMAX.
Another Caucus held by the Makepeace-Gestenberg Party, on Sun- day ! ! !- The Fine-Haired-Head-Piece-Knocked-off and Mr. J. R. Benson Placed at the Top, while one of the Managers, who was Crowded off in the First Draw, Turns a Lucky Card in the New Deal.
The principal part of last Sunday was consumed by the sore-heads, who were so badly cleaned out at the Saturday night convention, in gathering their demoralized forces from the bush, and reorganizing the fight. The signal for a new conclave was the loud tones of anguish and cries of desperation which were heard from one of the defeated, as he
11
raved and tore his hair and smacked his clenched fists, and swore. The gathering was not large but very loud. After long deliberation it was the unanimous voice of the caucus that the exalted Curly Head of the ticket was responsible for the unpleasant aroma which drove good peo- ple from its support, and with many regrets from Gestenberg, that de- voted head was placed under the guillotine and the fatal blade dropped. While the lifeless carcass of George Washington Makefuss was yet warm, the name of a new candidate was proposed and, amidst great re- joicings, Mr. Benson was declared to be the original, unanimous and final choice of the invincibles. The caucus then selected several com- mittees to see that every thing was done that should be done to secure success. Three parties were appointed to get tickets printed. The lifeless body of G. "Wash." was reanimated by his selection to go to Council Bluffs to negotiate for the printing of 500 tickets on tinted pa- per. Spear was dispatched to Carroll to have 500 for immediate dis- tribution, and another committee was to go to Des Moines to take some notes on how they run elections in that city, and get some more tickets.
A few of the personal letters of the candidates might be of interest, but the lack of space prohibits their publication. We give below the pole at the above election as it appears in the court docket. This list contains-with but very few exceptions-every eligible voter in the town at that time.

Town Council.
As we have traced the various town councils and officers through the history of Manning, we will give the report of the first meeting, in which is vested the law and order making body of our little city.
Dated March 6, 1882.
"On Saturday evening last the council elect of Manning met at the office of the Monitor, all being present except recorder Smith. S. L. Wilson, notary public, administered the oath of office and mayor Callamore called the council to order. The trustees then began to cast lots for the length of term that each should serve, which resulted in Turner and McQuaid for three years, Wilson and Hoffmann for two years and Emery and Tidd for one year. Turner, Wilson and Emery were appointed a committee on town ordinances, with power to employ assistance in drafting the same. McQuaid and Tidd were named as a committe to procure a book for the use of the council, and Tidd and Hoffmann a committee to secure a place of meeting and mayor's office. The council took an informal ballot on the amount of liscense to be paid by saloons, which showed the average opinion to be $293, so liscense was fixed at $300, to be paid semi-annually in advance, and the bond of the saloon keeper fixed at $1000 for the non-violation of law."
For the benefit and enlightenment of the public we give a syllabus of all the ordinances up to date, that no one may be ignorant of the laws of the town. We give the various subjects covered by these ordinances, so that should any one be especially interested in any one ordinance, they can easly determine by the heading whether they are brought in contact with the same, and can easly obtain information by applying to the mayor for the ordinance book and reading the law in question.
