Douglas Co. 400 Republican
Excuse These Tears, but the
Returns are 50 Jolly.
" Glory, Glory, Hallelujah "

Once more have we met tie enemy
in Douglas county and this time he fr
ours, not general nor a drummer boy
escaping. For more than thirty years
have the Democrats held undated
sway in this county, until they had
come to believe themselves the rulers
IN our affairs by right Of Inheritance.
-Four years ago hard fight was made
by few determined Republicans to
do something toward redeeming the
county and giving it a new record, and
for the first time in its history, Doug
las county went Republican, giving
James g. Blaine 25 majority, Gov.
Rusk l majority, and electing two or
three county officials. This year the
Republicans determined tomake a still
better showing, and they selected the
best general they had, Mr.. S. Z. Tubbs
and put him in full command, with
full authority TO select his own subor-
dnate commanders Mr.. Tubbs took
upon himself the ardorous and thank
less task. From the start his first OBJ
iect was, rs far as possible, to harmon
iZe al factions and then to insist upon
unity OF action. When he advanced
the east end Of his line the west end
and the center c9lGmn also moved for
ward. Were any found who were dis
posed to compromise with the enemy,
such a move was discouraged at once.
When any one in the ranks stopped to
kick, the column behind marched over
the PROSTATE kicker, and left him to
kick at the air in the dosolate wilder
ness. Never was a campaign better
handled than was The one just closed
Ill Douglas county, and IS d result the
entire Republican ticket is elected by
majoriJies ranging from $50 to $50.
Never was the saying that in union
there is strength'' been better illustrat-
rated, and it is largely to NJ. TubbS
positive refusal to enter into any trade
or combination, even for his own bene-
fit that the glorious results must be
credited.
Because The Republicans held to-
getheT so frmIy-there were but half
dozen weak kneed llckers-the Demo
Gratis had TO standup to their nominees
50 that the ight was 4 clean party con
test, both parties trying its best to win
a victory. OF course there were some
fayorites on both tickets for local plac-
es, and also some knitting done in both
parties. Moran, Sunderland, LaBlanc
and one or two others did what they
could do to slaughter Nj. Tubbs, while
members of the Democratic party did
slaughter Nh Keaough most shame
fully, and this comprised all the slaUgh-
tering done last Tuesday and it was
disgraceful alike to both parties.
The battle has been fought and no
longer need It be uestioned how Doug
las county stands politically. 1t is
Republican henceforth and forever
