OFFICIAL VOTE OF ANDERSON. COUN-
TY FOR PRESIDENT.

The vote in Anderson County, which we
publish below, is a comparison of the Elec-
toral vote of 1880 with the gubernatorial
vote of 1876. The table is nearly if not
quite accurate, and shows Democratic
majority of 3041,. against majority for
Governor Hampton of 3031, and ma.
jority of 27s5 for the Tilden Electoral ticke
ct. twill, therefore, be seen that Ander-

THE ELECTION IN THIS COUNTY.

/ The election in Anderson County on
LAST Tuesday was generally quiet, though
q very intense interest perVaded the
voting at most precincts. There was lit
tie or no interest felt in the State or
/ County tickets, as there was no opposi-
ton to them, and every effort centered on
the Presidential race. The negroes were
more solid and inapproachable than they
have ever been, and for the most part
voted the Republican ticket. They came
to,the polls in large companies, and in
many cases, would not talk with any
white man until after they had voted.
They were insolent and defiant, and
showed a thorough drilling that was far
more perfect than It was in 1876 or 1878.
Ex-senator Cochran was appointed
County Chairman of the Republican
party about ten days before the election,
and did his work most effectively. It
was the hardest work possible to break
the solidity of the colored vote, though
by dint of persuasion and argument We
managed to indnce great many of them
to vote the Democratic ticket. In addi-
tion to this re had white ticket, an
exact fac simils of the Republican ticket,
and many negroes voted it, amounting to
probably two hundred in the County,
which increased our majority from three
to four hundred votes.
The election shows that the negro will
vote the Republican ticket whenever his
old leaders tell him to do SO, and that as
a class he has no more reason than a
mule. The election here was anything
but encouraging to those who hope to
see the negro improve in understanding
The duties of citizenship. He is controll-
ed mainly by opposition to the white man.
Thus he has drawn the color line, for the
purpose of following men whom he does
not know in preference TO those who be.
friend and assist him. Frankly, howev'
er, we do not blame the ignorant negro
as much as his intelligent leaders. The
vote in this County is slightly under the
vote of 1876, though ne have better
majority in proportion to the vote cast.
We hare not, however, done our full

duty as the whole white vote has not been
polled. This was no doubt due to feel

VIE ARE DEFEATED.

The election onalast Tuesday resulted
in q sweeping victory for the Repubii-
cans in the Presidential and Congress
ional elections. Garfield carries every
Northern and Western State except New
Jersey, California and Nevada, which
Hancock carries in addition to the solid
South, so that the Electoral vote will
stand, Garfield 219; and Hancock 156.
The House Of Representatives will prob.
ably be Rspubl blican, and the Democrats
win only retain the Senate by close
majority. The defeat is complete and
crashing, and Its effects cannot be pre-
dicted until the excitement and passions

The keystone Bandit.

The following particulars of the crime
for which the man English was arrested
we find in special telegram to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer from Bradford, Pa.
The telegram states that his crimes have
been numerous, and of most aggravated
character.
On the morning of April 18th last Dis
trict Attorney Wursel and officers VOll-
mer and Wainth, of st. Mary's, went to
the home of English, in the village of
Caledonian, Elk county, to arrest him
for forgery. They rushed into the house
and surprised English, who retreated to
a room upstairs and barred the door.
The officers attacked the door and were
warned by English to go away, but per-
sisted in the endeayOrs. Finally Eng
lish grabbed Winchester rife and fired
through the door, the shot killed Consta-
BILE Wainth. The officers then retreated
to the yard, when English shottVollmer
in the leg. English then rushed from
the house TO the woods.
As he was running Wursel shot him in
the calf of the leg, but he managed to
get to the woods, however, and though
hundreds of men secured the forest for
weeks afterward, he has eluded eyery
pursuit, until the present rewards of
81, &C were offered by the county COM
missiOners of Elk county; 5000 by the
commissioners of this county (McKean):
$1,000 by the citizens Of st, Mary's. Now
that he is captured, the people around
Caledonia will feel secure of their lives
and property. He will have the Justice
meted out to him that his many crimes
merit.

A Striking Contrast.

Hon. William Mckinley, member of
Congress from the Canton, Ohio district
draws the following striking contrast
between twenty years of Democratic rule
and twenty years of Republican rule i'm
managing the affairs of the nation. We
would ask careful perusal by all think
ing men and then would have them can
didly decide upon the merits of the case
which party, from its record, would be
most likely to promote the welfare of
our country and which of the two par
ties is most worthy of being trusted
with the reins of government:
In 1860, after twenty years of Demo-
cratic rule, Government six per cent.
bond sold for eighty-nine cents.
In 1880, after twenty years of Repub-
llcan rule, a Government four per cent.
bond sold for $1.0S.
In 1860, after twenty years of Demo-
cratic rule, a loan of $1S,OC0,C % exhaust
ed the market for six months.
At the end of twenty years of Repub-
lican rule loan of $780, 10000 was taken
in single day.
In twenty years Of Republican rule we
find:
An increase of population of fifty per
cent,
An increase of general agricultural
exports of 600 per cent.
An increase in exports of bread and
bread-stuffs of $50 per cent.
An increase of exports of manufactur-
ed articles 225 per cent.
An increase of railway mileage Of 1877
per cent.
In 1860 after twenty years of Demo-
cratic rule, Congress authorized loan
of $25,C0o,COO to pay current expenses.
In 1880, after twenty years of Repub-
lican rule, the Secretary of the Treasury
pays $85,000.Cc1 of debt contracted for
war brought on by solid Democratic
South, which now wants power again so
as to stop the waving of the bloody shirt,
the wearing of which is HancOck's chief
glory and his whole available stock as
candidate for Presidency.
In 1860, after twenty years of Demo-
cratic rule. the balance of trade against
the country was over $20,OC0OCo.
On May 81, 1880, after twenty years
of Republican rule, the balance of trade
was over $l62,00lOOO in favor of the
country.

In Tuscarora, july 18th $780, Mr.. Hui

Wright with two of his neighbors in at
tempting to throw large hemlOck tree
against dead stub with view Ofpush-
ing it over, met with the terrible fate OF
of being crushed to death in an instant
if time. The stub receiving but a slight
stroke from the tree, started suddenly
back where the choppers were standing.
Mr.. Wright not observing it in time to
make good calculations for escape, ran
lengthwise of the tree too much, and
was caught by large limb striking him
on the back his head, crushing it in.
breaking his neck, back, and one leg,
causing instant death.
Mr.. Wright came to this county lit
tie over two years ago, had homestead
here and like most of US had nothing to
help himself with except his hands.
Having large family, wife and six
children, he could do but little more
than supply the necessary wants OF the
family; working away from home most
of the time, was good worker and al
was found ready employment.
He was a member of the Methodist

Shall Cheboygan County BE Repre-
sented at the State Fair.

LII ChebOygan county is to be repre-
sented at the State Fair this fall it is
time that something was being done.
Last year the County Agricultural
society took the matter in hand and the
display made was gatheredby commit
tee appointed by the President of the
society. The exhibition, while credit
able to our county so far as it went, was
not what it should have been. This was
not the fault of the committee, the men,
bers of which devoted considerable time
gratultOuSly i'm their endeavOrs to secure
good showing. Our neighbOring cOun-
ties are already moving in the matter.
The Boards of Supervisors of some of the
counties have made an appropriation of
500 to aid their respective counties in
securing goOd showing. ChebOygan
is equal to the best for agricultural pur-
poses and in some respects offers adyan-
tages that other counties do no possess.
but if we lack enterprise and fail to take
advantage of opportunities offered for
making these advantages and the pro-
ductiveness of the soil known and allow
more enterprising counties around us to
get ahead of us in the matter of adver-
tising, it must:be expected that they will
uo duy SuDtIlOI
advantages our county may possess over
them. Tr1 ef
If an exhibition of the products of our
county is to be made 1T the fair, now is
the time to get the matter started. The
farmers should he solicited to carefully
select and preserve with care samples of
grain and grass. These should be done
up in bundles six or eight inches i'm
diameter and firmly bound with bands
ever few inches to keep them i'm good
shape and avoid danger from handling.
We would suggest that the Agricultural
society again take the matter in hand,
and that meeting of the Board of
Directors be called to appoint a COM
mittee to take charge of the matter. We
know that the society is not i'm cOndi-
ton, financially, to bear the expense of
this but we believe there is enterprise
and liberality enough among our citi-
zens to sustain them i'm anything they
would undertake looking to securing a
good showing for our county at the COM
ing fair. In our opinion this is an i'm
portant matter and should be attended
to at once.
