tJoCindra Nath Bose in Times Democrat
Nowadays few educated young Indians
are seen to accept Christianity. Since the
year 1854, when Hindoo Theism acquired O
new strength from the accession Of the late
celebrated Keshuh Caunier Sen into its
ranks, christianity has been losing all
charm for the educated Indians. The mis-
sionaries are busy preaching the doctrines
of christianity all over India, but fe ex-
Cept poor and illiterate men are sssn to DO

COUNTY ELECTION
A Clean Sweep With the Old
Style of Broom.
The Atmosphere Exceedingly Chilly
for Democrats in Old Sedgwick.
The Returns from Each Township lr
creases the Majority.
Democrats are Welcome to all the Com
fort They Can Get From the
Figures in the Table.

Notwithstanding every sharp practice
familiar in politics was resorted 10 by the
Democrats, not single nominee of that
party got smell, no matter if they did cal
| themselves Liberals" and the peoples can
didates, there were not nearly enough OF
that stamp in the county, even if the in
mates of the Jail ard poor house were
brought out, to elect one man on the ticket
The candidates in this city cut loose from
those living in the country and slaughtered
them without mercy. Then they cut loose
from each other and every fellow run on his
own hook, and was willing to assassinate
his colleague if he could get there himself
but the whole crowd got left.
The Republicans made an honorable fight
and SO faithfully did they stick to thier col
league in the county that Hays came near
beating Fisher at his own home, notwith-
standing that the combined batteries Of the
enemy were pointed at him, and that the
prohibition racket was sprung on him, and
that his opponent made the most he could
of the circumstance that he was an old sol
der, and that Mr.. Hays staid at home and
'planted corn" as they expressed it. With
all these influences combined against him.
ard his opponent being by far the most pop
ular Democrat in the county, Mr.Hays may
well feel proud Of his victory.
The view of the political situation Of the
county taken by d. NJ. Dale, chair
man of the Democratic convention,
is proven to be erroneous. Mr.. Dale said
that great many new settlers had come in
to the county since there had been square
political test and that the moral influence OF
Democratic National administration
would draw large vote OF those who wish
ed to be on the winning side regardless of
politics, to the party in power; SO that no
one could tell the political complexion of
the county at this election.
The result shows the usual Republican
majority and establishes the political COM
plection of the county beyond doubt.
The foregoing table shows the returns as
far as received before going to press. Some
of the townships are only given in part, the
complete returns not being in.
The table as it stands shows the follow
ing Republican majorties.
Walters 5O4, Ford 1856, Heiserman l,l66,
Hays 2OI, Wingard 1,l29, Luttrell $50,
Alley 50.
Only three townships remain to be heard
from and these taken collectively gave
Click majority of seven over Martin last
year. Assuming that they go the same this
year, we have the following Republican ma
jorities:
Walters 497, Ford 929, Heiserman 1859,
Hays 1917, Wingard l,122, Luttrell sSS, and
Alley 80, which is an average Republican
majority on the county ticket of 1881. How
is that for high?

POTATOES.

A reporter was shown some fine potatoes
of the early Ohio variety yesterday, raised
by Mr.. Peacock on the Cowskin. They
were equal TO the best Iowa or Wisconsin
potatoes ever brought to this market, and
the yield is convincing proof that Sedgwick
county need depend on no other section OF
the country for this staple vegetable. Mr..
Peabody planted FIVE bushels of seed, which
is the quantity generally allotted to one
fourth of an acre. The yield was $50 bush
els of good potatoes, besides some small
ones, which is COO bushels per acre. 1t will
readily be seen that this is more profitable
crop than wheat or corn.
