The only news we have from cleo
tions in the east we CLEAN from the
Hutchinson Nescs (Rep.) Of the 9Th. 1t
is as follows:
OHIo.-Meagre returns from Ohio
indicate democratic gains. Republicans
claim Foraker's election. Estimated
that Campbell will carry Hamilton
county by 1000. Democrats declare
with vigor that Campbell is elected,
from 5000 to $1,000 plurality. From
one-fifth of the state outside of Hamil-
ton county democrats show heavy gains.
PENNsYLvANIA.-M returns
show democratic gains in almost every
county in the state. No estimate as to
final result.
VIReINIA.-State gone democratic
by 20 900 to $4,000. ,Mahone arrested
at Petersburg for shooting man who
was shooting off fire works in front of
his, Mahone's house.

too indefinite to indicate result. Every
part Of the state heard from continues

places they amount TO q landslide.

The States Where There Are Suppressed
Votes"
1t is the habit of republican editors
and orators to declare that in several
states the privilege of voting is confined
to the privileged classes those who are
in political control of these states :
and the following showing of twenty
seven states is here given:
Georgia's vote of 1888 was 1S8, 499
less than the number of male adults in
1880; Massachusetts was 1873. 40 less,

O66, Mississippi's 122,175, Louisiana's

In Georgia, 1OO, 499 democratic votes
represented twelve electors, which is
an average of 1876 votes for presi-
Dental elector.
In Nevada, ,229 republican votes Sc
cured three electoral votes, which was
an average of 2, 41O votes for Harrison

JUDGE H.

Glorious work was done by thu
friends Of the democratic candidates
and it counted, and 1t counted right
The old republican bosses have indeed
petered out and the young men in poll.
tics have taken a stand for democracy
that administers a scathing rebuke to
the republican schemers and manipu-
lators. The fact that all the old county
officers are reelected and by good ma
jorities indicates that the people of
Barton county, at least the great ma
jority of them, are not political fan
atics, but men who vote for MEN.
The success of J. II. Bailey, indepen-
dent candidate for judge, will be her
aided with joy through the entire dis
trict. In Barton county he will I'M
doubtedly have from 175 to 200 major
ity over J. W. Rose, the republican
candidate. Word has been received
that Bailey carries Rice county by 100
majority and Stafford county, the home
Of Rose, by 200 majority! Nimicks,
Rose s. Co. have got a black eye they
will never get over.
We this week give the returns Of all
townships from which we could get
them up to the time of going to press.
From the figures furnished it will be
seen that the mojorities given by such
returns are as follows: Krause 1874,
Jones 10S, Strothman 1873, i}son 172,
Markey 40, Connect IL, Coughlin n,
and Bailey 1913. There are still eight
townships to be heard from. We have
the majorities given in such townships
but not the total vote OH each candi-
date. In such townships the demo-
cratic ticket will gam 100 majority and
the republican Is, which would leave
an average democratic increased
majority of S5. Add IS to the majori-
ties given above and you have:
Strothman 26s. Wilson 257, Krause
219, Jones 1872, Markey 155, McIlvaine
70, Coughlin about 100, and Judge
Bailey 213. These majoritles will prob
ably vary some, more or less, but we
think they will be pretty near the final
footing up. We hope to give the re-
turns complete next week.
A hard fight it was, and long one,
but the merits of good officers could not
help but make these gentlemen popular,
and, while we knew that there was not
a single candidate ON the democratic
ticket who was not superior as an
officer to his opponent, we were at nc
time certain of electing the entire tick
ct. But, We got there, just the same
Hurrah for the boys who would not
be whipped into line by the old bosses
Hurrah for the sturdy farmers who
showed their loyaltyi And hurrah TO,
