SOUTHPORT, WIS, OCTOBER -, 1912.

The official canvass OF the election show. the re
suit to be different from what was first stated II,
paper. The entire wing ticket is not elected L.
will be perceived that according to the official re-
turns one democratic member of the colnclis cleo
ted; it is reported however, that mistake was
| made IN one of the towns by the board of Town
Canvassers, in the statement of votes given, and
that the official canvass does not exhibit the actual
result We shall not stop to discuss the matter or
the technicaties connected with it; whatever is
| fair and honorable in the case, will meet with our
approval; none need apprehend any just cause for
dissatisfaction to grow out of the present condition
of things.
AS we stated last week, John T. Trowbridge is
elected to the House of Representatives, he has
majority of Is over Ella, the lowest candidate on
the wing ticket for that office
Cary has majority Of 49, for the office of coun
ty Treasurer, over Smith Kellogg's majority for
the Office OF Coroner, over Parmeee is 6l Lo-
throp is elected to the office of Surveyor by ma
jority of over 200
1t is probably well understood in the county, how
1t came to pass that the greater portion of our tick
ct was defeated at the late election, and by what
means part of it was elected. The disorganizing
faction IN the democratic party, who had resolved
to defeat our ticket, were aware that thew couId
not accomplish the object by fair and honest means
For the purpose therefore, of being better able to
practice dupicity and deception, they assembled in
secret cOnclaye, and determined to make ont =
ticket for the benefit of the Wing partv-retaininr
upon 1t few democratic names, that they might
tho, -FT !
true OBJECT Accordingly they placed upon the
Legislative ticket four of the Wing candidates. and
one OF the democratic; on the county ticket thew
placed a few democratic names for the least i'm
portant Offices. With an eflrontery peculiar to men
wiling to beray their party, and desert their
proto s5ed principles for the sake of the ioaves and
fishes which Doty bestows they headed this ticket
democratic" Having thus perfected their I'M
hallowed scheme for running the Democratic cause,
accompanied by unprincpled and deceptive agen-
ces they succeeded in bringing about the result of
the late canvass
These dsorganizers have no particular rartialitv
for the democrats whose names they placed on tAcir
tlcket-they compelled as a matter of neces-
sity to a few democratic names in order to car
ry on more successfully the game ofdeception, and
to defeat the principal portion of the democratic
ticket. John T. Trowbridge is too high minded
man to acknowledge any Indebtedness to the men
who used his name in connection with the Wing
candidates merely for the purpose ofdefeatng four
out of the five democratic candidates for the Leg
islature.
The result of the election is claimed by the organ
of the Wing party in this village as a 1chg tumph
it is echoed through the Territory as Wing ri-
umph. Democrats of Racine county, is this so:-
If such be the fact, is it not we'll to enquire who
aided the Wing party to obtain the triumph? Was
it obtained by the vote of those only who have
hitherto been identified with the Wings? No can
did review the events of the late election
and say such is the case. Have not men who as
sumo to be democrats openly boosted since the
election that they accomplished the defeat of our
ticket? Were not some of the most scurrilous
hand bills, viiying and raducing the character of
the democratic candidates, got up by pr0fessed
democrats! Did not these same handbills iaud the
character of the whig candidates, and appeal to the
electors Of the county to give them their support?
We do not complain that the wings are disposed to
proclaim the result of the late election as Wing
triumph we only wish to refer our democratic
friends to this assertion, that they may properly es-
innate class of men who helped the wings TO OBJ
tain the triumph, and through whose agency the
democratic ticket was defeated.
