Election Results.

The next state senate will have two
Petersons S. D. from this district
and J. w. Peterson, of Goodhue
county.
The official cotint of Brown county
gives S. D. Peterson 1886 votes, w. 3.
Baker 1872, and \. d. Stewart 766 votes
for senator. The total vote in the dis
trict stands 22O9 for Peterson, 1271 for
w. E. Baker, and 1873 for A. D.
Stewart.
Merriah's election is now pretty
well assured, the democrats generally
conceding it. His plurality over Will
son will be not far from two thousand.
The balance of the Republican state
ticket is elected. Boblcter, for State
Treasurer, will have a plurality of
nearly 1000.
Mike Dooner made splendid ruin
for county commissioner, and only
lacked 20 votes Of tying Mr.. Schandcra,
who was the candidate of both the
Republican and Alliance parties.
Lamborton naturally felt entitled to
representation on the county board,
and has sent one Ct her best business
men. All the same, we shall miss Mike
boomers good -natured face at the
county council board.
So far as heard from, the defeated
candidates III this Vicinity take their
medicine good naturally, and have
resumed their various avocations very
much as though nothing had hap
pened.. When you investigate the mat
ter, it is very apparent that the man
who is a servant of the dear people at
the court house is not half SO indie
| pendent, and often not 50 well paid, as
tn. man who is his own servant and
master in other pursuits. A county
office is not a pritsse "snap" by any
means ;:fsst.
For q change, Brown county Repub-
licans elected most of their candidates
on the county ticket this year, but lost
the Legislature, Ahlness defeating Ball.
We regret to learn, however, that At
torney Thompson, Of Sleepy Eye, was
defeated for county attorney by Rob-
inson of Springfield, democrat. For
senator, S. d. Peterson got a plurality
of over 700 votes, and lacked only five
votes of having majority over both
Baker and Stewart which demon
strates Peterson's qualities as vote
getter, as we'll as the utter hopeless
ness of ever electing a Redwood coun-
ty man by Brown county votes.
Tho funniest episode Of the official
canvass Of votes in this county, finished
last Tuesday, is the discovery that J.
L. Holts only missed having MAORI
ty of three votes over G. V. Everett,
for surveyor by an irregularity. Thirty
votes were cast for Christian Holts in
Kintire, instead OF for j. L. Hollis. The
Gazette will make any of its readers a
present of a years subscription to
Farm, Stock and Home, who will send
in full specifications, with diagram, Of
the relative bearing of this joke on the
democratic party, which nominated
Hollis, and has the satisfaction of find
ing that the only man on their ticket
who came near being counted in
would have been unable to qualify
owing to previous engagement OF ali
imperative nature; on the alliance
party, which endorsed him on Holts
who was almost presented with an Of
fee which he could not accept or quail
ify for; and upon Surveyor Everett
and the Republican ticket, thus almost
knocked ont from making a clear
: sweep of the county by a candidate
who was incarcerated in jail:
Renville county elected a set Of Of
fcers somewhat mixed politically
though there appears to be very few
Republicans in the mixture. Borchar
! is elected senator, Peterson represen
tative, Depue auditor, and everybody
friend Billy MCGOWAN walked in tt
; the tune of about 1900 plurality. JOIN
Clarity was elected judge of probate
| R. T. Daily county attorney, and &C
cording to latest returns, Greene de
feated Ericsson for county superintend
ent, though the vote was close.
