over the defeat of Mr.. A. NJ. findlay,
Democratic candidate for District Attor
ney, and Bishop NJ. L. Lee, County Su-
perintendant OF Schools. 1t has been the
talk of the Mormons for the past year or
more that they held the balance OF
power and controlled the county. As the
Mormons wished, so went Lincoln
county. 1t was square up and up fight
between these candidates. Bishop Lee
made no canvass, but relied wholly on his
,aintly appearance, while his opponent
relied ON his extreme modesty. The can
didates for District Attorney did some
canvassing. Mr. Findlsy visited every
precinct in the county but two, and tax
ing with him, as a side show, number
of hungry candidates, whom he exh'b.
tied at Bunkerville, while his opponent
was confined to Phoebe and vicinity. |
The result of Tuesday is that Mr.. Findlay
is the worst defeated candidate on the
ticket, followed closely by Bishop Lee |
who, as the returns from the various pre- |
cincts show, did not Lose one Mormon |
vote. These two candidates, being nom |
church people being one-third oil the
voters in the small vote of this county,
they felt, perfectly secure, and the candi
late for District Attorney even went so
FAR as to examine dwelling houses. In
fact, we would like to have him and his
family come and dwell among us, and
,incerely hope his defeat will not in any
way change his mind, for he might then
he the means of doing good turn for the
county, and remove the objection that
the brethren advanced against the Re.
publican candidate for Superintendent OF
Schools being elected. We would en-
deavor then to desert bachelorhood.
