The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1884-11-08
THE E,.tCtiUE.

The election is over, and all are glad of
- It was the most even and hardest
contested political struggle that has ever
taken place in the county, and as there
was not any money on either side for po-
litical purposes every candidate had to
rustic for himself. For about three
weeks prior to the election, most Of the
candidates were on the outside, most as
sduously pleading their cause with the
ranchers; but the last week before the
cleo ion the candidates devoted them
selves to Phoebe and vicinity. Meetings |
were held by both parties at Bristol, Pa.
naca and Phoebe, and the vehicles were
kept going to and fro from the valleys to
Phoebe. Every candidate was rustling
for his own bone, and left not stone
uuturned to advance his interests with
the voters. On the morning OF election
the candidates were all up early, and so
we're all the old bums-the former pull.
;ng for votes, anil the latter for a 'pull''
at the private bottles. Arrangements
had been made so that the voters in the
outside precincts should not grow thirsty,
neither should they lack for smoking
material. Ample supplies had been for
warded the day previous to election, and
all who grew thirsty quenched their
Ill no 20 oh 10
their time in smoke did SO. In Phoebe
the voting was slow. Many appeared to
hold back for some cause, but an hour
before time for closing the polls, all had
voted. The headquarters of tine two
parties soon closed, and many were happy
and gay, and still there were refresh
inents loft in the denijohns The count
ing of the votes in Ploche was completed
about II O'Clock that night, and while
the counting was going on returns from
the Mendha, Royal City, Bullionvlle and
Panaca were brought IN, and as the vote
for the different candidates were read
general satisfaction was showp by the
crowd Very few straight tickets were
cast, and one OF these was scratched from
top to bottom-not one name being on
it,
There will be about 463 votes cast in
this county. Full returns have been re-
ceived from all precincts but Bunker
vile, St. Thomas, Ell Dorado and Cave
Valley, aud partial returns have been re-.
lived from Cave Valley and st. Thomas.
At st. Tnoma, the head of the tickets
stand II to 5, in favor of the Democrats,
and the county ticket will be very near a
straight party vote. The vote in Cave
Valley is reported to be Democrats to
Republicans. Bunkerville, which
is vet to be heard from, will give %
solid Democratic votes, from top to bot
tom of ticket, as commanded to do by the
the Mormon church. Ell Dodrado will
cast about 40 votes, giving the head Of
the ticket, in favor of the Republicans
about l6 majority. The indications are
by the returns from all precincts received
and careful estimate of precincts yet t.
hear from, that Cleveland and Hendricks
will carry the county by 63 majority
Cassidy, who received number OF lie
publican votes, and, by the grace OF Coo
and the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter
Day Saints, a solid Mormon vote, vii
get about 100 mai ,rity over Woodburn
for Congress. Seawell, for Suprem
Judge, run behind his ticket, and his ma
jority will be small.
On the county ticket, the Republican
elect Poujade to the State Senate an
Meyers to the Assembly, while the Dem
ocrats elect Henry Rice to the Assembly
The Democrats elect the Sheriff and lon
term Comm sioner The Republican
elect the District Attorney, Assessor
Public Administrator and Superntendei
of Schools. The result as to Treasure
Recorder, Clerk and short term Commi
sioner is yet in doubt The full return
throughout the county will likely be
i'll by Wednesday next.
