Hurrah for Sclota, rs Republican major

Hurrah for Sciota, rs Republican majorit,
for the state ticket.
The results in the townships were quite
favorable to the republicans, but through
personal fights enough Supervisors were LOST
to give the democrats control of the Board
Of Supervisors.
We congratulate the voters of Caledonia
on the decisive majority given to Duane c.
Cooper. If the republicans of that town
ship keep OH it will soon be found one OF
the solid republican towns.
Only 101 majority in Rush for supervisor
Crane, chairman of the Board. The town.
ship should get the law amended so that Mr.,
G. can be put in for life; he will yet t1i6Ye
every time any way.
Most heartily did the republicans of Perry
and Shiawassee endorse their present super
.yisors, Messrs. C. t. Wing and Rudolph
Colby. In Fairfield matters of personal
strife brought about the result OH supervis-
or.
The election in the city OH Monday was q
very tame affair, the contest not being as
lively as usual. AS a consequence very
light vote was polled. The republicans
captured all of the city ticket and both con.
stables in the districts.
The municipal elections around the state
have been quite favorable to the republi-
cans. The republicans scored big victories
in Grand Rapids, Port Huron and Lansing
the latter city electing Hon. Jas. M. Turner
for Mayor. Charlotte, Big Rapids, Pontiac
Bay City, Kalamazoo, Adrian, Ypsilanti
Codwater, Mt Pleasant, Negaumee, Grand
Haven, Battle Creek, Greenville, ST. Clair
and Ishpemlng all elect republican mayors
while Niles, Jackson, East Saginaw, Sag.
NAV City, Ann Arbor, Flint, Manistee
Hastings, Monroe, Muskegon, Albion and
Marshal elect democratic mayors.
The result of the state election is mos
satisfactory to every Republican. That the
majority would be large, in proportion II
the vote cast, we did not for moment
doubt, but that it would exceed that giver
