Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1880-11-06
TOWN TALK.

Turn out and rebuke us once more.
The crop of Republicans proved Tues
day to be an abundant one.
That was glorious rebuke. The Re-
publicans enjoy that kind. Do it some
more.
Oh, no, there was not a ghost of
show to elect the Republican county
ticket.
Adolph Gerisher, sent sheriff-elect
Mute boquet Tuesday, recognizing him
as the coming man.
Large quantities of fish are being
brought in and shipped from this port,
the greater portion being white fish.
The Democratic party made the late
campaign one of mud throwing. The
result shows how the people relish that
kind of work.
Messrs. Dobsons completed the repairs
upon the Cheboygan light house the first
of the week, and everything is now in
first class condition.
George P. Humphrey received his ap-
pointment as keeper of the range lights
Tuesday evening. He has had charge Of
the lights for about two weeks.
Notwithstanding neither Ford, Chan
der or Ramsay were around the polls
Tuesday, the "ants" seemed to have been
out in full force, and got in their work.
The large majority given the most of
the candidates on the Republican county
ticket shows that many Democrat had
become disguised with the ring" and
voted accordingly.
A number of our Democratic friends
came over Tuesday on the Van Raalte
from Mackinac to hear the election news.
they did not seem to extract very much
enjoyment from the returns.
The leaders of the ring promised
Tarsney 200 majority in this county, but
when they came to deliver them they
discovered the Republicans had corner
on votes, and they found themselves
short.
The result of Tuesdays election in
this county shows what a good ticket,
thorough organization and hard work
will accomplish. For the first time in
the history of the party in this county,
the Republicans were we'll organized
and worked with a determination to
win.
The citizens of the county evidently
appreciate Watts s. Humphreys serv-
ices as County Treasurer, and showed
that they thought he was the right man
in the right place by giving him the
largest vote of any candidate upon the
ticket, he receiving 745 votes and ma
jority. over both the other candidates, of
221. Who said he would not make a
good run.
Whilst the TRIBUNE did as much as pos
sible, under the circumstances, to secure
the election of the Republican county
ticket, and we believe that our labor was
not without effect, yet it is conceded
that the Democrat did more for the Re-
publicans than any other one thing, and
in behalf oft he Republicans, we would
thank the editor for accomplishing SO
much good.
The Democrat this week, stated that
the A. C. Van Raalte started before hel
lines were thrown off and pulled out hel
tow-post. This is as reliable as usual
for that paper, in fact there is not a
word of truth in it. The facts are, IL
was Canadian boat that struck her dur.
ing the night as she was laying at the
dock without steam, and instead of il
being her tOw-pOst that was pulled out
it was timberhead.
Thursday night man name Ambrois,
GagnOn, employed upon the Canadian
schooner Oliver Mowatt, bound from
Kingston to Chicago, fell from the mast
head, distance of fOrty-five feet, break
inghis thigh, arm and forearm. Capt
Beaupre sent in for a surgeon, and Dr.
Gerow went out to the vessel and di,
what could be done for the sufferer an,
brought him ashore. 1t is feared he ma,
have received internal injuries. Fall
ing that distance it is wonder he wa
not killed instantly. He has been deler
ious the greater part of the time sine
was brought in and fatal consequence
are apprehended. He is being cared TO
at Peter Spooners.
