The returns from the townships in Fountain
county are very encouraging to Republicans.
Six townships elect straight Republican trustees,
Fulton township elects a Greenback Republican,
and in Wayne township a Democrat is elected
by Republican support, leaving only three
straight Democratic trustees in the county. The
vote is not indicative of the relative strength of
the parties, but it strongly indicates that the
Republican party will be a lively factor in the
coming campaign. Reports from Mill Creek
township are conflicting; one report gives it to
the Republicans by two majority. and another
makes 1t Democratic by one majority. Should
1t prove to be Republican, it will reduce the
number of Democratic trustees to only two in
the county, counting Wabash independent.
