PEOPLES VICTORY
Over Ring Rule.
COUNTY ELECTION,

The election in Dickinson county
passed off very quietly, and heavy
vote was polled. The result was not a
matter of surprise to those who looked
at the situation free from party preJu-
dice. but it is safe to assume that such
large majorities were unexpected. The
maioritieS evidence one conclusive fact,
however. The sovereign people of this
county are independent and intelligent,
and their action at the polls on Tues
day was a decisive rebuke to party
bossism and ring rule. The victory is
more than a democratic victory
it is peoples victorv-and as
such the REFLECTOR records it. II
the Republican bosses have not learned
a lesson from Tuesdays election, 1t
will be because there is no virtue left
in them. The country people, the bone
and sinew of the nation, can be relied
on every time to right all wrongs even
if they have to sacrifice irreproachable
candidates to reach the root Of the evil.
And this is pre-eminently true OF
county so intelligent and independent
as Dickinson.
Below we give the unofficial and in
complete returns from the county. The
total vote polled was over 5000. The
vote in Abilene, sol, is the largest ever
cast at any election, and the county
vote is very heavy:
