SHGT ALL TO PIECES.
Fate of the Excellent Democratic
Ticket in the County.
Looks Mighty Like a Clean Sweep
for the Republicans.
Still a Chance for Martin to be His
Own Successor.

So far as Cheyenne is concerned there
isn't SO much as a Democratic constable
in the county of Laramie. Every nomi-
nee of the party Is defeated by from
twenty-five to over 600. The closest i'm
portant contest was between Martin and
Kelley for sheriff. There is still a small
hope for Martin. Judge Lee had a
rather narrow escape, being closely pur-
sued by Wilson, who Jared much better
than the average Democrat in the first
district.
Democratic headquarters were closed
about 2 p. m, utter serving as a cave of
gloom for an hour or SO. At Republican
headquarters the hilarity was unre-
strained, and the faithful swarmed to the
place to celebrate the land slide, clean
sweep, snow storm or soup festival. They
sang and danced and shouted until weary,
and chafed every democrat who ap-
peared.
The counting was a heap more of a job
than had been anticipated. In the tenn
porary polling places it was as cold as out
doors. A stove was brought into the
shack opposite the cathedral, and they
finished early at Evans and Sixteenth,
but at Themes and Sixteenth it was a reg
ular game of freezeout, and owing to de-
lays on this account the tally sheets we're
not furnished till , O'Clock this morn
ing, At the Clark hose house they we're
4 bit slow.
Some Of the precinct results were sur
prising. Several candidates rather ran
behind in their own neigbborhoods and
developed strength in unexpected quar-
tiers. Atkinson who was supposed to be
the weakest nominee. ran like a scared
wolf, greatly to the astonishment of even
many of his friends. Jones gave Stable
4 chase.
The South Side, being precinct l OF
ward l. was a corker in its way. The re-
turns from there arc a surprising and
bitter disappointment to many.
Warren's majority in town will be
something a tnle over 300 and the
county will break about even. The gov
ernor was skunked at Arcola, Baxter get
ting every vote there. The latter has a
ranch near Arcola, and the news from
that place may cause the Sun to rescind
its standing statement tha mo man can
work for Baxter and vote for him."
Martin gained at Iron Mountain and
several other precincts where unscrupu-
lous opponents had made a special effort
against him.
AT 2 o'clock this morning the count
in the second precinct of the first district,
Sixteenth and Themes, was finished.
Warren, 81 majority; Martin 10, Freden-
dal. 80, Davidson /. This was the last
city polling place to return.
Fort Laramie, Hartville, Lagrange,
Hecla and several other good sized places
are yet to come in. The Cheyenne &
Northern train will bring some figures
this afternoon. Here arc the latest
county returns
