Election Echoes.
The independent voter made himself very
numerous last Monday.
1t would be an excellent plan TO have n
young meYs republican club formed in this
village. v
The republican caucus last Thursday even
ing was freq from any indications of states
or rings. y
II looks as though the temperance men
made singular selection for some of their
candidates.
Two hundred and eighty three men
thought they could improve the work of the
caucuses 10y splitting their tickets.
A munster of the gospel has Just as good
a right TO he a candidate for Office as ANY,
body else, and no good reason can he alleged
TO the contrary.
. The temperance ticket, with the exception
of the candidates for Recorder, one Trustee
and one Assessor, was simply repetition OF
the fusion ticket.
=. III. Jones proved To he too good q re-
Publican for the fusion ticket, and 80 their
committee Knocked him off and substituted
Eli Wise in his stead
The union temperance meeting at the
Disciple church on Sunday evening was
largely attended. and the proceedings were
decidedly interesting.
- straight republican. - straight union.
and - straight temperance tickets found
their way into the ballot box last Monday.
1t was good day for splits.
The following persons were appointed as
a republican village committee at the caucus
last Thursday evening: O. w. Rowlank j.
f. Showerrnan and NJ. L. Richardson.
Everybody who was not registered at the
last general election must be registered this
spring or lose their votes. Registration
| prior TO the last election is of no avail.
The greenbackers kick because Clapp. a
democrat, ran ahead while Wise. green
hacker, was defeated. They say the demo-
Gratis didn't play fair. 1t does look that way
1t wasn't good day for republicans to
run, but Alb. Showerman got there, and he
didn't have tn have his name on anything
but the straight republican tickett TO do it.
But lie is "alone III his glory"
The fact that the combined republican
and temperance vote of this village is Just
about equal to the straight republican vote.
when there IL 10 temperance ticket in the
field, indicates quite clearly who are the
temperance voters. There was no apparent
| deIninution of the fusion ticket.
When they came to ballot for candidate
for President in the Temperance caucus, the
greenbackers and democrats were a little
more numerous than the republicans and DIR.
Maynard, the union candidate came in a few
votes ahead of Warner, the republican can
didate.
