THE OFFICIAL VOTE OF THE
COUNTY.

official statement Of all the votes cast IN tins
county, at the recent election. The returns
from Buffalo Prairie, Edeington, Black
Hawk, Rock Island, Moline, Hampton, Port
Byron and Cordoya, we had previously pub
lished in detail as we should have published
those from every other town, if we could have |
procured them There is great negligence
(by those who count the votes IN cach town.
in sending the figures to the paper winch e''''
nublish them first They seem TO THINK no. .
BODY cares to hear from their town. yet ti'ey !
are very anxious to hear from every other
town. They therefore seal up the returns |
of their own town, neither keeping nor
sending us any returns, and OF course
we cannot get them until the oihc'al
canvass. We hope in future, that some one
in every town, will see to it that we have all
the figures without delay, so We can give
them to the public.
The figures, from every town, which we
publish in this paper, present some curious
results which will be studied with considerable
interest A majority Of the people it seems,
are still disposed to encourage the circulation
of an irresponsible currency, and, OF course
.;ro,,, ,ho U,i,od States hills and coin
Tho,. l,,o,r or .honld know that the ooorcst
currency will always keep the circulation,

rencv they will not yet good. But when they
refuse worthless trash, and insist on good,
then they are sure TO get it, Their votes show
that they are willing to be cheated awhile
longer. If they like It, we have nothing to
saw,
The majority against admitting negroes into
the state is only STA much smaller MAORI
~ than we expected, but still ii is enough
to claim that this is u white mans county.
Ii is too small however. To brag much
about. Ten hundred and seyenty.fvc men
voted that they were willing the county
should be settled with negroes,
The next proposition shows a more graft
fvinc result. There Is majority Of l&41
against allowing negroes to vote or hold Office.
Of the 1913 who were willing negroes should
COLOMBO the county, 4g4 went :" the whole
hog" giving the negro right to vote and
hold offce-in fact placing him upon perfect
equality, socially and politically with them
selves. They voted that they, themselves,
were no better than 81 negro.
