TABLES ARE TURNED.
"A Peculiar Precinct in Saltwater
Prison City Notes.

The late election in Washington
county was apparently fiZZle from be-
ginning TO end, as shown by the re-
count of votes. Nearly every precinct
in the county has shown a gain or loss
when the ballots have been counted.
One of the worst errors made was dis
covered yesterday when the ballots of
the. First ward were counted in the
Durant-Daly legislative contest. In
counting the ballots of the First pre-
einetof the First ward the result showed
a gain of forty votes for DAILY. This is
a mistake which can hardly be account
ed for. ID. l.. Birmingham, one of the
clerks of election, when seen yesterday
by GLoRE representative, stated that
he was positive beyond all doubt that
the. ballots were counted correctly on
the night after election, and that the
mistake must have occurred in copying
the figures frou the tally sheet on
to the returns. The original fig
ures gave Daily Sc. while the recount
gives him 96, or a gain of 40 votes
in one precinct. The ballots were de-
livered to City Clerk Hopkins on the
day after election, when they were
strung on strings, sealed and placed in
the vault. The vault is provided with
an inner Yale lock and also a combina-
ton lock, so 1t is unreasonable to sup
pose that the ballots could have been
tampered with. And as further pre-
caution Mr.. Hopkins placed the pack
ages face to face, so that if. they had
| been handled in any manner it could
| easily be detected. Before this mis-
take was discovered Mr. Durant had a
| majority of few votes, but the tables
are turned now and DAILY has majority
of about thirty-five. The case was adj
journed until Friday.

CLEVELAND LEADS.
Farmers of the Northwest Voice
Their Political Preferences.


SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. 22.-An
elaborately p.anned canvass to ascer-
tain the opinions of farmers through
out the country on certain practical.
economic and political questions has
been conducted on an extensive scale
for the past three months by the agri :
cultural press of Springfield. The vot-
ing was not confined to subscribers of
these journals, and nearly 10000 cards
were received answering these cues
tiOns:
/. Is the siIo system worthy of general
adoption?
2. What is the greatest need in the dairy?
ton?
4. In sheep husbandry. what advice most
needs to be followed?
D.. What change or Improvement is most
needed in horse breeding?
(A). Is federal and to agricultural col
leges and experiment stations wise policy?
OBJ. Should the rudinents of the agricult-
ural SCIENCE be taught in the public schools9
7(A). Will the new tariff help American
farming as i whole?
(Bl. viii the proposed reciprocity with
South America benefit our farmers?
(C). Will reciprocity with Canada help the
farmers of the United States?
s. Would it be wise to suspend the home
stead and pre-emption laws, withdrawing
from sale or occupancy all public lands Tor
agricultural and grazing purposes, for a
period of years, in the hope that population
and consumption might catch up with pro
duction, and thus relieve agricultural depres-
sion?
9(A). Should government own and oper-
ate the telegraph?
OBJ. should government own the rail-
roads?
10. Who should be the Republican and
Democratic nominees for the presidency in
1882? Note that the question is, who should
be- not who viii be. our idea being to draw
out the farmers views as TO the best men for
the presidency, rather than to guess who the
politicians will try to put up
In reference to the vote for presideli-
tial candidates it is explained that the
Journals Interested interpreted the No
vembpr elections as meaning that the
farmers were weary OF old tavorites and
old measures ana demanded new men
and new issues. These journals there
fore advocated j. M. Rusk, of Wiscon-
sin, the secretary of agriculture, and
Congressman William II. Hatch. of
Missouri, ex-chairman of the house COM
mittee on agriculture. as the proper Re-
publican and Democratic standard
bearers for 1892. In spite of this influ-
ence, however, the farmers expressed
their preferences for presidential can
didates in the following manner:

CHANCES FOR CHICANERY.

The coming Illinois legislature will
be theater of the most varied and in
geniouS eXpedientS on both sides for
control. The Democrats have q small
majority in the house and the ReDub-
iicans in the senate, and those denied
seats by one party in one house will be
offset by the other party in the other
branch, where any preteXt can be had.
1t has been found III two or three cases
that the member-elect has not had quite
the needful residence in the state. In
one such, in strong Republican dis
trict, the governor has concluded that
the man is ineligible, and ordered
special election. The Democrats raise
the nice point that the right of the party
to the seat is a matter for the legislature
10 determine, and hot the governor.
Theywlll ignore this oflicious course OF
the executive i'll accepting 4 reSigna-
ton from a man who had nothing
to resign, and ordering a special cleo
ton. The house will decide the original
party Ineligible, and that vacancy ex-
lists, for which the governor will be re-
queSted to order an election. This will
leave the Republicans one vote short in
the senatorial vote, and they will at
tempt to break quorum and fail, un-
less they can induce the three farmers
men to go with them, which is improba-
bic. The sharp trick played on the
democrats six years ago induces sus-
piciOns on both sides. The legislature
was tie, and Democratic member
died. The district was so strongly DEM
ocratic that the Republicans pretended
not to have candidate, but by con-
certed arrarg cement had their voters all
over the district rush to the polls at the
last hour, which they did, and elected
their man, sending JOHN A. LOGAN to
he senate. 1t was rare exhibition of
practical politics. This time the Demo-
Gratis do not mean to be caught in any
trap, and, it is believed. will be able to
elect PALMER. if there is any election.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS

P. Eichmann, the cigar manufacturer of
Glencoe, was registered at the Clarendon
Yesterday. The presence of MIR, Eichmann in
the city and his account of the wonderful
growth of his business in the last year serve
to present most interesting fact to the pub
lie. 1t is simply this, that in number of the
smaller towns such industries as cigar
making are being taken hold of and
made very great benefits. From a small
beginning two or three years aso, klr. EIch-
mann has gone on until now he employs
more than a score of men in his factory and
number of statesmen Oh the road. And this
is exactly what Alex Van Praag has done at
Fergus Falls. such men as these are en-
titled to the gratitude of their towns. and TO
some of the bonuses so frequently voted
away to outside spectators who never in
tend to do anything for the towns who do
this. Mr. Eichmann returned home last
evening.
