With yesterday's Election Day now over, it somehow seems appropriate on the Historic Pelham Blog to provide the election results from Pelham's Town election held in March 1875.  Of the sixteen Town officials elected on that occasion, 15 were Democrats.  Below are pertinent excerpts of an article that appeared in The New York Times.

"WESTCHESTER TOWN ELECTIONS.
