This gubernatorial election settles a po-
lticai feud of long standing. In 1879
Joseph Simon, ex-chairman of the Repnb-
hcan state central committee, was the regu-
lar Republican candidate for mayor.
ID. p. Thompson, who ran for
governor, came out as an int.e-
pendent candidate. When the returns
were counted Simon had a majority OF
nine, but il was afterwards discovered that
ten votes had been overlooked. ard when
they were counted Thompson had a major
ity OF one. Thompson was mayor OF the city
at that time, but Simon beat him in the
convention tor denomination. Simon al
ways had it in" for Thompson for defeat
ing him for mayor. and has at last had his
revenge Thompson defeated him in the
primaries recently and got the gubernator-
ial nomination.
Simon promised to support him, but did
not keep his word. On election day he
and his Hebrew friends came out with an
independent Republican ticket headed by
Pennoyer, and swung 1900 votes from
Thompson. These went long way to
defeat Thompson. Simon has at last had
his revenge.
Mr.. Thompson in an interview tonight
attributed his defeat to sentiment PEN
noyer stood upon the non-taxabse bond is
sue He rays It took like hot cakes with
farmers and workingmen. and he says the
Union and Independent tickets cost him
$500 votes. be said there was no doubt
but the Democrats had sold out every thing
for Penncyer.
The whole Republicans state ticket Is
elected. Congressman Hermann will
have between s.00o and l0.0o0 majority.
Chairman Goldsmith comedies the defeat
OF State Treasurer Webb by from 500 to
500. but Metschan's majority win be fully
coo.

governor. are altogether local and personal
The Prohibition party, the state grange
and labor unions cast their solid vote for
