THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY TMOROUGAA
SCOOPED OUT!
THE ENTIRE PEOPLES TICKET TRIUMPHANT!

- - ASAv = - - = NV 1ShS ~
There was an election in Scott county
yesterday ! The People held that election
They had their candidates in
lhe field and every man they nominated for
office WAS elected to Office. Not BY bare
majoritiss by the 'skin oftheir teeth"
hut BY good rousins agurss-eight hundred
or more, and Che republicans took them>
selves " their dens, and to-day the mourn
srs 30 bowling about the streets.
Yesterday the people in their strength
met the enemy and captured him-csptur>
I'd him bod. He was entrsnched behind
. abreaatwork Of last years majority Of about
seventeen hundred strong. Tho people
battered down that bsrricads and routed
him completely. strewing the field With the
slain.
We eengrstulate the Peoples Party men
Of Scott county most cordially. They have
covered themselves oil over with glory and
given the Pu.itanical republican party q
blow that il will nos socn forget-nor re-
cover from in the next ten years. Last
year they had nearly seventeen hundred
majority. This year they find themselves
full eight hundred in the minority-sn un.
paralle.ed change OF not lCss than tro
thousand .fce hundred votes lin the short
space Of twelve months Were ever the
guilty moro severely punished /; were the
unsodly ever more completely cast down;
We need no, spend time just now to
speak Of the many causes that have wrough;
out this severe punishment, aud brought
the proud republican party SO sud
denly down from the b gh: OF its power
into the mire # defeat We need not re-
mind the fallen how they grossly abused
the trust that hsd been in them so co1fid-
ingly reposed how they sought to opprsss,
domineer over aud cns!avc the people, and
by the most unfair means - dsprive them
of their inalienabls rights. These things
ass All fresh in the minds Of the people and
the guilty political culp1its that have never
their sentence know i. else
Weighed in the balance aud found wants
ing; tried by the stand nd and found un>
worthy, is the ver'ie. Of tue People. A
most righteous one i: is, and now let us
greet our friends abro,t; ni,, the clad til
ings.
At this writing the ea.i-e returns Of the
county have not arrived, but sufficiently to
enable US to say We are oil right. The vote
for Davenport Township is yet uncsnvass,
ed, but ws know the result al the same
The vote in Davenport Township, was
light-full one thousand less than 1t would
have boon had al come out who arc entitled
to vote. That lose falls upon the peop,a's
Ticket principally. It's friends were SO COM
fident Of its complete success that they sta;d
away. This Was not right, but i. can't be
helped now. The republicans rallied 10
their might, determined to push back the
People and keep them from asserting their
rights, but it was Of no avail. On they
csus-and though hundreds s.aid behind
they had plenty to NEE. the full forces Of
the republican party and overwhelIu them
in defeat. "7old you so''
There IS . strong probability that the
State democratic ticket will have about $50
maioriAv IN tho rouctv
DAVENPORT rowNsHlr
will give an average Peoples majority ol
700, the votes not being fully canvassed 4,
time Of going TO press.
The following are the returns ~ f.r :,
we have received .hem. BY to>,norrow We
hope to DO able to give them complete
