EDITORIAL NOTES.
Ford gets there in old Adair to
the tune of 700 majority.
Old Adair isn't ready to join the
Bourbons yet awhile.
The readers of the GRAPHIC will
be served with the very best literary
and home reading hereafter with very
little politics till the next campaign.
We elected the whole county
ticket anyhow.
1T will take the official count in
New York to determine the result.
Vest may get back to the Sen
ate, but we gave him good scare at
all events.
ALL honor to the gallant Irish.
man. Hon. Nicholas Ford, for his
noble canvass and splendid race. We
will make it next time.
Even the democrats will not
feel jubilant over the election of Mar
maduke.
Anti Bourbonism is a growing
power in the state of Missouri.
The Prohibitionists have thrown
cold water on the result in New York.
How do those Temperance"
men who worked against J. H. Nov
niger fancy their jug.handle allies.
Some of Risdon's opponents
got too full to vote on election day
Don't tell US whisky isn't a good thing
occasionally.
The jug played an important
but Intellectual part in the election
Tuesday.
The GRAPHIC comedies nothing
till the full vote is counted.
There are grave doubts, yet,
whether Mr.. Marmaduke will occupy
the Governors chair.
Ford made a splendid race and
won hundreds of warm friends over the
state.
The total cost of the Missouri
Anti-Bourbon campaign figures up
only $500. We got splendid re-
turn on the investment.
The campaign in Adair must
have cost the democracy nearly thou.
sand dollars. They haven't much to
show for 1t.
SHAW and Linder were the
nurses Morrow and Cohen prescrib-
ed for the dear little bantllng, but it
died. Oldham and Ellison pronounced
the eulogy and the republicans buried
It away out of sight.
Whisky flowed like water Tues
day. and as usual its influence was on
the side Of democracy.
The species of 'jug-glery" en-
gagged in by portion of the Democat-
ic-Bourbon nominees ought to forever
damn them before the people here
after.
Jas. H. Novinger "got there"
all the same and did not have to de-
bauch the voter with whisky to do ii.
The GRAPHIC was one of the
first papers in the west to hoist the
name of James G. Blaine.
The GRAPHIC is happy this
week. 1t Is not often the lot of a
newspaper to come SO near getting its
choice from President down to con-
stable.
We congratulate republicans OF
Adair on their staunch and manly
stand for Blaine, Ford and the county
ticket.
The democrats Away cackle
before the egg is laid. A good sensi-
bic hen knows better.
Those Republicans-.weak
brothers-who traded their vote for a
drink of whisky have nothing to show
forit but sick headache and horri-
BILE bad taste.
We would rather have pulled
]. H. Novinger through by reduced
majority, than to have it said that he
resorted to the "whisky argument" SO
feely used by his opponents.
The fact that the Brooks men
spent so much printers INK to be-
smirch Ford, and their use of columns
that should have given support to the
republican ticket, doesn't seem to have
affected much with the voters of Adair
county. They went cunning after
