The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1860-04-05
Election in Cass County!

Election in Cass County I!
Below we give as far as heard from,
the returns from the different towns in
this County, and although they are too
meagre to allow US to Judge in regard
to the entire ticket, we are happy to
state that the Republicans have elected
amajority ofthe Supervisors; and that,
too, by increased majorities. The Re-
publicans have every where done no.
bly,, and although we have lost our SUI
pervisor in Pokagon, it will, we trust,
have the effect of bringing the luke
warm Republicans to sense oftheir du-
ty, and we shall hope to record glo-
rious victory in this town next fall.
4 Silver Creek has, as usual, elected
the entire Republican ticket. The
average majority is 100!
In Wayne the entire Republican
ticket is elected, by from to 20 ma
jority
In Pokagon,. We regret to say that
we have lost our Supervisor, Town
Clerk and one Constable. We feel
this more deeply because we believe
that when, the Republicans pull straight
we have at least 90 majority in this
town., Mitchell Robinson,- the demo-
cratic candidate for Supervisor, was
elected by one majority.
La Grange, has, as usual, gone dem
ocratic, by about 100 majority. This
increase over last year is owing to the
fact that, By actual count, there were
over AZ Republicans whose names are
upon the Register, who did not vote ;
and we learn that there were probably
as many more who were not registered
at all, the board in this town having re-
fused to register the name of Repub-
lican unless upon personal application
while at the same time they were
receiving and registering democrats by
the dozen whose names were present
ed by their friends and neighbors, thus
virtually violating the provisions of the
act, which plainly says, ''that no name
shall be registered after the year 1859,
unless upon personal application to the
Clerk or to the Board"
In Penn, the entire Republican tick
ct was elected by majorities ranging
from 81 to SO.
Newberg has elected B. F. Rudd
Rep.) Supervisor by majority. We
have not learned as regards the rest of
the ticket.
Ontwa, REFLECTS Charles Hanna,
Dem.) Supervisor by 7 majority.
Calvin probably elects the entire Re-
publican ticket. James Oren, Rep.)
is elected Supervisor by 40 majority.
Jefferson elects the entire Democratic
ticket with the exception of Justice OF
the Peace, by from to majority.
In Milton the Republican ticket is
elected, with the exception of one JUS
sice. We have not learned the majority.
Porter has elected Lucius Keller,
(Rep.l Supervisor, and the balance OF
the ticket is about equally divided.
In Mason the entire Republican ticket
is elected by a small majority, except
Road Commissioner and one Constable.
yolinia is reported Republican by q
small majority.
This leaves Howard, which has
probably gone democratic. and Mar
eellus, where the Republicans will
doubtless elect their Supervisor, to hear
from. This gives nine Republican
Supervisors TO FIVE democrats, and with
an equal chance in Porter, we think
the Republicans have no cause to com,
plain with the days work.
The returns from the State although
~ yet too meagre to enable us to form
any conclusion in regard TO the result,
the indications are that the Republi.
cans have gained largely in every
quarter. In another column we give
such returns az have come to hand up
