The Republican vote is as large as il
ever was. It was just the same in June.
Tho Democratic vote has largely increas-
ed. This is accounted for, not BY per-
sons deserving tho Republican ranks. but
BY their drawing in large vote from the
country, which has heretofore gone to
Iowa Point. They made tremendous
efforts to poll large vote, and worked
night and day to accomplish that end.
Every voter that they could possibly per-
suade to come here. they had on hand /;
and they''even boosted. that they would
carry the precinct. On the other hand,
Republicans whose most convenient vo-
ting place is here, went to Iowa Point.
It all amounts to the same, however, in
the end. At ons.tims it looked as If the
Republican majority would be reduced
very low but the boys polled in towards
the close, and we came out better than an
ticipated. II the Democracy want to
carry this precinct, they must go beyond
Cedar Greek for their men.
BseIer runs u votes ahead of his tick
ct. This was caused by Democratic
votes, for which they deserve credit. We
hereby tender our thanks to the Iowa
Point Dispatch for this result. The su-
perhuman efforts of that sheet against
Beeler, had the effect to give him the
highest vote of any candidate on the Re-
publican ticket. Men did not vote for
him merely because he is White Cloud
man, but because an effort was made to
cry him down simply because he resides
near this place. Such will ever be the
effect, when the place of mans resi-
dence is urged as an objection against
him.
With the exception Of Besler, the De-
mocracy fought desperately against the
Republicans and got "whaled" in White
Cloud. The Republicans, were Adolf
tiouists, Disunionists and Insurrection-
lists. Poor. old, crazy John Brown, with
his dozen white fools and three or four
black allies, was q fruitful source of cap
ital. Had be been in White Cloud for
three or four days previously to the cleo
ton, he would have been tortured worse
by listening to the agony created on his
account, then be suffers from his wounds
and the anticipation Of his approaching
hanging. Especially was old Brown
preached up to Virginians. Every man
whose great grand father had been born
in Virginia, had old Brown wildly pic
tured of to him, as an inducement to
vote against the Black Republicans. We
have understood it has heen boosted that
all the Virginians voted together at this
election. This is s mistake :. for we
know Of q number who had not the fear
Of old Brown before their eyes, and vo-
ted, not to spite the said Brown, but to
give expression to their sentiments. We
no not approve Ofthis thing of men band
ing together for political purposes, upon
no other ground than that they were born
in the same State. If all would do so,
what sort Of "mux" would we have OF
il? Il would be sectionalism reduced to
vulgar fractions. It is not whit better
than religious denominations or members
offrAternities voting in . body, as such.
