REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
We Lose the Governor but
Binger Hermann's Majority
Unprecedented.
The County Ticket Divided,
But Principally Republican.

Monday morning found the solid
men of both parties, the demagogues,
wire pullers and rabble, all astir bright
and early to- battle over the American
citizen as he exercised his royal pre-
rogative on that day. Earnest work
was. done in every precinct of the
county. The great democratic war
cry was "Pennoyer" and their watch
word "Mackay" and Notwithstanding
the extraordinary efforts of Mackay's
friends Mr.. Jolly made good race
and would have b cen elected had he
carried his party vote in Lower Alsea
and Newport. The outlying and
coast precincts slaughtered Holgate
with vengeance while his own local
i.y gave better indications of it's appre-
citation of his work, Of public improve
ments, in handsome maiorities. The
two Corvallis precincts polled over
six hundred votes while some other
points developed a considerable in
ere ase in voters. Generally, however,
the vote polled throughout the county,
with the exception of two or three
places springing rapidly into notice,
was not materially different from that
given two years ago.
The legislative ticket is republican,
both our representatives having been
elected as was also the republican COM
missioner. Considerable rejoicing was
had in the democratic ranks when the
approximate returns indicated that
Hinton, democratic commissioners, had
been the unfortunate victor; but the
official count, which was terminated
| Wednesday night at one o'clock, gave
the majority to Chambers. Wherever
the democratic surveyor ran ahead of
his ticket the republican judge got a
phenomenal vote. Porter's majority
was about 40.
In Philomath precinct Bryan cut
Wilson's usually large majority down
to 7 votes while the republican sheriff
got l60 to Maekay's "a in the same
precinct. The union party averaged
about so votes in the county and their
candidate for county judge was also
defeated in Newport precinct for JUS
tice of the peace. Six or eight years
ago he was running on the republican
ticket for justice, last election pro-
hibitionist and on this occasion filed the
breach on both union and democratic
tickets as regular candidate for each.
consistency, thou art indeed jewell
Notwithstanding this record, Stout is
rare good and careful naan and is true
to his convictions, (only his conyic-
/ tions are more or less vacillating6 and
he would have been elected over less
popular candidate than Mr.. Acklom.
! Of course, tBush" was elected. He
got complimentary majority of over
800 votes and judging from the old
time ring in his hearty laugh the result
must have pleased him.
Crosno will qualify as senator from
Benton by a very fair majority but the
county cash will be handled for two
years by Telt Burnett, democratic
treasurer, and the taxpayers will soon
have a chance to avoid the visits Of
Mr. Skipton who pulled in with a
slight majority. After all the agitation
over the '1illeligibility'' of Miss Spencer
for superintendent, Prof. Yates got
there in great shape with plurality of
some 20 or 80 votes. So the county
will not have lawsuit on its hands to
contest this question, and the educa-
tional matters for this. county have
been placed in the hands Of a man who
will be able to reach every locality and
attend personally to the wants OF each
district and who is eminently well fitted
for the Office.
The state ticket in Benton gave Pen
noyer over 250 majority of 5000 in
the state at large. Dispatches In
Thursdays 0regonion tell that Mr..
Hermann was deeply moved by the
news from. the state He says that
such an overwhelming vote of con-
fidence in him by the people of Oregon
far exceeded his fondest expectations.
But he also showed soliciteus regard
on behalf of the other Candidates, on
the ticket.
The. balance Of the state republican
ticket received good majorities and
Oregon with one exceptionmay well be
prond of the achievement of last
Monday and the month immedia1 ely
preceding it.
