The Ofiicial Can vass.

Last Monday afternoon the beard of
canvassers, consisting of County Audi
tor Scattcrgood, Justice Leonard of this
city and Justice William Cory Of Gar
den City, met at the Auditors office at
one O'Clock to make an official canvass
of the votes cast in Blue Earth county
at the recent election, the figures of
which are presented in our tabulated
statement. In the county ticket there
occur several anomalies Mr.. VIM.
Jones, Republican, received 1913 MAORI
ty for Treasurer over Mr.. p. j. KTemer,
the Democratic nominee Mr.. w. c.
Durkee, Republican candidate for Clerk
of the Court, received 2l7 majority over
Mr.. W. B. Torrey, his opponent, while
Mr.. w. T. Matthews, Republican can
didate for Register of Deeds was beaten
by 35 majority by Mr.. Jacob Wagon,
Democratic, and Mr.. Geo. w. Monks,
Republican candidate for Sheriff, carried
off the henors by AZ majority.
AT the outset it was predicted by
many that Mr.. Monks would lead the
ticket by handsome majority, whereas
he received by far the smallest majority
OF any Republican elected. Again, it
was the general impression that Mr..
Durkee would be easily defeated, but
he comes to the front with q good
healthy majority. Mr.. Edwin Rogers,
for Superintendent, carried off the per.
simmons with only $50 majority II
can be easily observed that Mr.. Mat
thews was slain in his own camp, and
the same efforts were strenuously made
to put Monks in the same boat, but
fortunately the scheme failed in both
warp and filling. The majorities which
the whole Democratic ticket received
in this city were sufficient to encourage
the belief that its candidates were all
elected, but the reports from the rural
districts stcmmed the city tide and
turned an apparent defeat into positive
victory.
1t will be further observed by con-
sulting the table, that the whole Re-
publican State ticket was triumphant
by majorities ranging from 500 to 900,
which illustrates very forcibly that in
reality Blue Earth county can be classed
as thoroughly Republican, even in "ofi
years" and on light vote. The only
reason why the county ticket has been
so indiscriminately cut and slashed in
the past, is OH account of the guerilla
mode of warfare adopted by few NAL
contents who have endeavored to prey
upon the credulity of the average voter
in order to CRAFTY some petty personal
spite or ambition. The fact is, some
portions of this city possess too many
would-be great statesmen, who are in,
fatuated with the disgraceful idea that
they must either rule or ruin the party
to which they belong. This isn't Re.
publicanism or Democracy it is moth
ing but downright guerrillaism, and
while we never expect to behold polit-
ical millennium, with all things fair,
harmonious and progressing towards
immediate perfectibility, we do hope
TO see higher status in political as well
as moral reforms. and to that end our
! labors shall ever tend.
