Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1886-11-04

| the following estimated malorllles
will not lead you far astrsy:
Rusk and LaFollette each about
25o majority.
John Pengelly, sheriff, so.
Paulson, treasurer, 100.
Williams, county clerk, 500.
Tappins, clerk of court, 45o.
Bennett, register, 400.
Gillett, school supt., 275.
jerks, Dem dist. attorney, so.
Cox, assembly list dist, 3.
Bennett, assembly ID dist, So
The fact that we are to publish
the official vote of the county next
week withholds us from preparing
any tabular statement this week. 1t
could scarcely be based on other
than estimates, anyhow, and what is
here given is equivalent thereto.
So far as can be ascertained, the
Prohibition vote in Iowa county
will be in the neighborhood of from
450 to 500.
Tue fact that only one position
left blank on the Prohibition ticket
district attorney and that the Dem
ocratic candidate was elected in
consequence, suggests the idea that
had the Prohibition ticket been
printed in blank form the entire
Democratic ticket would have been
victorious. Pulverizing process
TUE Democrats now say to us,
"You did well," frankly admitting
that they had forty men specially
engaged to work for Smith, their
candidate for assembly. Specially
engaged That means paid-bought
up. Whose turn is it how to prate
about the barrel of some fellow who
wants to 20 to the U. S. Senate, or
about the salary of some public
officer whose money goes to aid in
elections, while the taxpayers actu-
ally foot the bill. Villas is drawer
from the public till and he wants to
be Senator, and he was going to
have it if money could buy it. The
insinuating sheet across the way
should be more cautious with its
hewl next time, lest it rebound with
crushing effect as it did in this case.
IL any scoring is to be done the
scratching Republicans of this city
should not be forgotten a glance
at the result ought TO shame them to
a desire to seek hiding place. No
Republican could conscientiousl
vote on assemblyman as did q multi
tpde in this city. The tribune
bushes and views the result with
humiliation and disgust. There is
no sense in or excuse for so voting.
From a political standpoint it was
just as essential that you voted for
George @. Cox as Jeremiah NJ,
Rusk, and those who do not think
SO are not Republicans. 70 those
who We're faithful great praise is
due.
WHEREIN are the Republicans
justified who so generously boosted
Mr.. Curry for county treasurer at
the expense and almost defeat Of
one Of the best men ever placed
before the people. Although not
known in any part of the county
better than his opponent, the hearty
support Mr.. Paulson received where
he was known at al must serve as a
test of his worth and esteem in
which he is held. lie is one of the
cleanest and most level-headed men
ever placed upon Republican
ticket.
Il. /. JOINER and family were a
few days ago called upon to mourn
the loss of one of their number,
Grandfather Joiner who has been
i'll for several months. He died on
Friday evening, and was buried on
Sunday, the services being conduct
ed by Rev. Jonathan Jones, the
minister Of our Congregational
church The family have, in this
sad afiiiction, the sympathy of the
