The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1886-11-05

The Republicans of Shiawassee
county have every reason TO be proud
of the victory won on Tuesday.
They went into the contest with an
adverse majority of 33o on the Gov.
ernor vote in 1884, (43o on balance
of State ticket and came out with
majority for Luce over Yaple OF IS6.
Two years ago both Representatives
in the Legislature were confusion
nominees, now both are Republican
w. II. Chapel in the Ist by 4o8,
and Frank H. Watson in the ed by
4S6. Two years ago this county gave
Pulver plurality of 800, and now
the honest citizen farmer of Ingham
county SHOWS him under to the tune
of ITO. Two years ago Bogus But
ter Tarsney carried the county by
462 over Roswell G.. Horr-this year
Horr annihilates him by 163, a gain
of 6,5, and it was not much of day
for Horr at that. Two years ago the
opposition hadthc Sheriff, Treasurer,
one Circuit Court Commissioner, the
Surveyor, and the Coroners. This
year they have to be content with a
Sheriff, elected by few boiling Re-
publicans, and one Coroner, elected
because the Republicans would not
vote for candidate who was boiling
other Republican nominees. The
Republican majority for I'll the sue.
cessful candidates has doubled and
in some cases thribbled that of two
years ago. Surely Heaven smiled on
the Republican efforts in Shiawassee
county this year.

The House probably Republican by a
small majority
The Senate prObably4S to 50 Republican!
EXIT GROVER CLEVELAND

The result Of the election held on
Tuesday, in this State, is surprise
to the opposition, and a wonderful
victory for the cause of Justice, the
dignity of labor, and the pure admin
istration of the business of a great
commonwealth. Farmer Luce prac-
tically annihilates Lawyer Yaple.
The people by some 10, 900 majority
affirm their devotion to the interests
Of the producing classes Of America,
as against the destruction of our in
dustries in the Interest of the pauper,
half paid labor of Europe; a victory,
the importance of which, to our wage
earners, cannot be expressed in words.
1t is more than that, it commits with
certainty the working classes to the,
Republican policy of protection, as
against the heresy OF ga tariff for
revenue only" as the platform on
which, in the great National contest
of 1883, the laboring classes of Mich
igan will stand. 1t takes Michigan
out of the list of doubtful States, and
places her name high up among the
list of States which never falter in the
devotion to the principles and policy
of the Republican party, the party of
equality, liberty, temperance and
progress. And it is yet more than
that even, it seals the fate of an
unholy fusion, formed for the sole
purpose of controlling the offices and
dividing the spoils between parties
who have not in common a single
principle, and do not even pretend
to have.
The result in detail shows the cleo
ton OF Edward p. Allen in the I'D
congressional district by about 1900
plurality over Salisbury, Democrat; /;
James O'Donnell in the sd by 4,7oo
plurality over Hankerd, Democrat;
Julius c. Burrows in the 4th by about
1900 over Harvey c. Sherwood,
Democrat; Mark S. Brewer in the
9th over Fedcwa, Democrat, by 1900;
Byron M. Cutcheon In the 9th by
about $500 over L. G. Mason, Dem
ocrat; Seth c. Moffatt in the nth
over Powers, Democrat, by about
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1886-11-05

$500. In the 5th, Ford, fusionist, is
elected over Mcbride by los; in the
18th, Whiting, iusionist, is elected
over Sanborn by some 500; in the
9Th, Bogus Butter Tarsney is elected
over Roswell G. Horr by about 500;
in the 1st, Chipman, Democrat, is
elected over Robinson, Labor-Re-
publican, by about 1900; and at this
writing the contest in the 10th is in
doubt between Fisher, Democrat,
and Loud, Republican.
The Republican State ticket has a
plurality of about 10000, and the
Legislature is largely Republican
the Senate apparently "a to 8, and
the House 10 to IS, with 5 IN doubt.
In contested election it would
be scarcely possible to score more
perfect victory, though the strange
result in the 9Th congressional dis.
trict is, deeply regretted by every true
friend of industrial America from
ocean to ocean. The result in the
several counties on county officers is
equally gratifying, and though as ye,
no perfect list is at hand we Think il
is safe to say that thirds of the
officers elected are Republicans, and
that the gains in many places have
been as unexpected as they are graft
flying to The Republicans by whose
answering devotion to principle,
aided by lots of hard work, they have
been achieved.

IN MEMORiAM.

ookhaven Lodge, No PAL, at its stated
meeting held on this, the 9th day of Au-
gust, A. ID. 1886, performs q sad but sa-
cred duty in placing upon its records an
expression of the great, the irrcparable
loss sustained by it in the death Of our
beloved brother, Past Master II. +. JOHN
SON, who entered into his eternal rest ut
sixteen minutes after FIVE o'clock, on the
afternoon of August I, 1886. AT that
moment his freed spirit, purified and
glorified by life of labor and of love to
God and to his fellow men, took its flight
to realms Of bliss and peace. The
transition was heavens gain, but earth's
great loss. From the organization of this
Lodge, in 1859, to the present time, there
has been no member who 80 fully exempli-
fed in his daily life these great tencts of
our craft. Brotherly Love, Relief and
Truth. lie was our pillar OF Strength
and Beauty-Our wise AMI trusted coun.
sellOr-our guide, who
"Allured TO brighter worlds, aud led the way"
Affiliating with the Lodge in lT7l, he mt
once becatue its Master, and he discharg-
ed the duties of that station with charac
teristic fidelity and zenl. In 1877 hr war
elected Chaplain Of the Grand Lodge.
The many other pressing demands upon
regular attendance upon our meeting,
did not diminish his love for the Order,
" hich he recognized as great power for
good in the world. He esteemed it u
privilege to be identified with craft so
ancient and honorable; he squared his ac-
tions by its precepts, and preached the
gospel of the golden rule" by kind deeds
aud loving words. OF him it may, with
truth be said,
His life was gentle; and the elements
NO mixed In him, that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world. This wasia man !"
His great achievements as an educator,
his usefulness and eminence rs a minister
of the gospel, his public spirit as citizen,
are all matters of not merely local fame,
of which appropriate record will be made
by the several assemblies with which he
was 30 prominently identified. But it WAS
our privilege to know him rs a friend and
brother and if
ITO live in hearts we leave behind
Ii not to die"
Then shall he live with us while time
shall last and then,
''God grant. that wnen this life Is DER
In the life TO come we II meet once more"
To his stricken wife and children, we
tender our hearty sympathy; and may fle
always wise and Just, and who doth tom
per the winds to the shorn lambs. give
them, in tins their great sorrow, "thc oil
of joy for mourning, and the garments OF

which distinguished him tor whom they
