The heaviest vote polled last Monday
was in the county Judges race, as follows;
Lair Rep 964: Wallin Dem 753. Liars
majority, 2ll. Out Of the wreck, the Dem
ocrats saved only the Coroner. The vote
was a. follows: Jerry Firth (Dem.) 737;
McNobb (Rep } Pop; Gentry (Rep) $40
Frith's msj 90. The new set of Magistrates
consist Of nine republicans and Eve demo-
Gratis. Jim Ham CdemocraD saved his ba.
con by being re elected Constable in The
Glades district. 1t was a regular Waterloo
IL was almost a water-haul for the demo-
Gratis Republicans are warned against in
dulging in any such remarks as that our
having elected the Coroner, he should pro-
coed at once to hold an inquest over the
rest Of us. Do not drive us to desperation.
Mr.. Isaac Stuart did not vote although he
was at the polls all day. The result is due
entirely to apathy and detection among men
who have always claimed to be democrats.
The democrats scratched badly. The re-
publicans scratched very little except,in the
jailer's race. Houk (rep.) for jailer has
a majority of l04. This il the smallest re-
publican majority. There we're plenty Of
democrats who did not vote. The next
time they will probably do better. NJ. G.
Miller, ST., for County Clerk, ran consider
ably ahead Of his ticket. His candidacy
helped the ticket not less than 100 votes
The official vote is as follows: Richards,
1852; Henry, 672; Jacob; 500; Luck, 62; for
the school tax, ,l29; against school tax;
342. The republican county ticket, ex-
cept Coroner, has an average majority OF
225. Only one republican in the county
voted for Richards. Henry ran about so
votes behind the democratic ticket, and Ja-
cob about the same number behind the re-
publican ticket.
The fight over and the battle lost, a
few words explanatory Of how it all hap
pened may not be out of place. The re-
suit of last Mondays election may have
surprised few democrats,ib but to the closely
observant, it was not unexpected. The
democrats in 1876, had good majority in
this county, but the chickering's which be-
gan with the "bolt" from the party conven-
ton in 1878, followed by the internal dis
sensions since, and the woful lack Of organ
ization in the late campaign, have assisted
the republicans to place the majority on
their side. The republicans made their
organization and named their candidate
early last spring. There was not "hitch'
in their plan OF operations. More perfect
discipline has rarely been seen. Their
candidates began their work early and kept
at it till the polls were closed. In the
mean time, the democrats were divided,
irresolute and purposeless. They were
kept busy settling differences between can
lidates. No less than four men wished TO
run for County Judge. For each Of the 9TH
,r Offices there were two or three aspirants
The party, through its organization, made
no effort to nominate candidates and unite
its forces IL /. doubtful il any action the
,arty could have taken, through its com
nittee, would have been satisfactory. There
vas much senseless talk Obout the "tOwn-
ique," and consequently the "town-clique"
lad nothing to do, as a clique" with
