MEADE COUNTY.

In 1883 the Republicans of this
county were 236 votes in the lead.
In 1890, out of 483 votes the Repub-
icans had 276; the Democrats, 112;
the Peoples party, 95. In 1891 there
were the Republican and Peoples
party tickets in the field, and the
Peoples party has elected commits
sioner. In a vote of 436 the candi-
date of the Peoples party for survey
or had 214; for county clerk, 1913; for
county treasurer, 1872; for sheriff and
coroner each 191; for register of
deeds, $50. The highest Republican
vote cast was for register of deeds
258-which is Is votes less than was
cast for William Higgins, secretary
of state, in 1890. Probably the en-
lightened and truthful Capital will
say that the Republicans have made
wonderful gains in Meade county.

the Peoples party was 945, which
was q loss of2O3.
Mr.. Knapp, the Peoples party cam
didate, withdrew from the race, bat
his party did not accept Of his de-
clination, and SO he was voted for on
the day Of election.
On the other six offices there was q
Republicrst fusion, and on the office
Of coroner the Demo Republican vote
was 1859, and the Peoples party
vote was 1167, an increase Of 10 over
last year.
On surveyor, the Republicrat vote
was 1852, the Peoples 1,277, thus
giving the Peoples candidate q ma
jority Of fifteen, and an increase Of
their vote over that Of last year Of 12O.
What a Republican victory.

WICHITA REPUBLICANISM OF THE USUAL
STANDARD. .N tt

The vote of the Peoples party in
1891 was greater than il was in 1890,
but Mr.. Hendee, secretary ofthe Sedg-
wick county People'sparty committee,
said:
The reason we did not win was because the
''Carey Democrats" OF Wichita, somewhere from
$50 to 500 voters, voted the Republican ticket.
And the campaign fund which the Joints" were
compelled to contribute, did help the Repubh-
cans to wage successful warfare against u.s.
Our party win come out of thiS contest stronger
than ever, for we are certainly here to stay.
Chairman Amldown, of, the Demo
cratic committee, said: N.
Every joint in the city was a Republican head
quarters, and the police compelled the joints to
contribute a large amount OF money with which
to corrupt our voters si
Chairman Morris, Of the Republi-
can committee, said:
A good many Democrats preferrlng the Re.
publican party to the Peoples party, they
voted the Republican ticket.
The Capital might be admonished
to give for the benefit Of its Coniding
readers, such Republican methods as
are furnished in the foregoing.

RILEY COUNTY.

In the hey-day of Republican
glory in this county the "grand old
party" was 1,108 votes in the lead.
In 1890 the Republican vote was
1888; the vote of the Peoples party
was 1,153; the Democratic vote, 434;
Prohibition, 21. In 1891 the Peoples
party elected their candidates for
county commissioner and surveyor,
while the Republicans elected the
rest Of the ticket. The Republican
candidate for sheriff had a majority
Of 345; for treasurer, 251. Their can
didste for register Of deeds is in q
minority of los in the popular vote,
and their candidate for county clerk,
276. And yet there ls great joy
among the jubilsting Republicans
over their overwhelming victory in
Riley county! Can il be- possible
that they know "a good thing when
they see itp What sort Of an i'm
petus can this give to their great

will be seen that the Republicans led

1891 the Republicans elect all of their
candidates for county officers; their
majority on register of deeds is 29O;
on treasurer 269; on county clerk 217;
on surveyor 200; on coroner 1873, and
on sheriff 78 votes.
The Peoples party vote is increased

PRATT COUNTY.

The Republicans Of this county
hsue been 465 votes in the ascendant.
But in 1890 the Peoples party led the
Republicans 80 votes, while the
Democratic vote was 1873. Now, in
1891, the Peoples party elect their
candidates for county clerk, sheriff,
coroner, surveyor and county COM
missioner.
The Republican candidate for regis
ter of deeds has a plurality of 21, yet
he is in a minority of 30. The Re-
publican candidate for county treas
urer was reelected by majority Of
81. The Republican nominee for
judge of the Twenty-eighth judicial
district, J.C. Ellis, from this county,
received S84 votes out of 1,777.
The vote of the county is 113 less
than it was last year, and the Peo-
ple's party vote fell of 121, while the
Republicans gained IA votes on the
sheriff. But will not this be one Of
the counties that the Republicans will

SHAWNRE COUNTY.

In 1883 the Republican electoral
ticket was 4,529 votes in the lead IN
the county Of Shawnee.
In 1890, on the Office Of secretary
Of state, the Republican vote was s.
073; the Democratic vote was 3,786
and the vote Of the Peoples party
was 1,255.
In 1891, on the vote cast Tor Coro-

WABAUNSEE COUNTY.

In the history Of Wsbaunsee coun-

glory lead Of 1,234 votes. In the
late election they save q county com
missioner, and their sheriff, U.'TE
Need, is reelected, having led the
Peoples party candidate seventy =
three votes.
The political marriage Of the Demo
Gratis to the Republicans is thus ex-
pressed by Mr.. Bion S. Hutchins Of
the Clay Center Dispatch.
Especially in the case of Sheriff Need, the Re-
publlcanS are under obligations to their friends
the Democrats, for very material aid. The Re.
publlcans reCiprocated by voting almost SOidly
and working hard for the election Of Mr.. Tousey
for surveyor, regretting very much his defeat.
Mr.. Tousey was eighty-seven votes
short of an election. In falling off
vote Of 1856 from last year, the Peo-
ple's party dropped down 300, which
is really no matter Of surprise in an
''off year." and especially with the
superhumsn efforts put forth by the
chsgrined Republicans over their
great tumble in Clay county in 1890.
This year they have fused with
their ancient, and, in their language,
"diabOllCal enemy" and yet are left
badly in the lurch. Poor success was

DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN ALLIES
NE IN DICKINSON.

Hon. James Ralph Burton, Of Abb
lene, in the county Of Dickinson, is
now counted as one of the most bright
and shining lights in the ranks OF
Kansas Republicanism. Mr.. Burton
was q vehement supporter Of the
Democratic James Humphrey, Of
junction City, for judge of the dis
trict court in the Eighth judicial dis
trlct At his own home the vote Of
the Peoples party has increased 176
from the vote of 1890; while the COM
bined vote in Abilene is twenty-five
less than it was q year ago. The re-
fecting Reflector Abilene says il con-
graduates Judge Humphrey on his
election. And yet in its issue Of No
vember 13, 1890, is this:
What have the Republicans gained by this
union with the enemies Of every polite principle
they have heret0fore cherished? A universal
shout Of victory by the old Bourbon Democracy
from one end Of the land to the other. That is
al.
Now, such blessed Republicans as
the oratorical Burton, and the poetic

EARLY DISSOLUTION OF THE AMALGA-
MATED TRIUMPH.


The Sslins INe1cs of November 5,
in referring to the fusion Of the Dem
ocrsts with the Republicans in Saline
county, said:
There were no spolls for US. We were left
without an incentive other than that principle of
freedom that characterized our fOrefathers.
1t was enough to make whOleSOuled Demo-
crat drop tear to see the mlddle-sged and gray
haired old Democratic war horse deposit his first
ballot for another than his own party.
To our Republican friends, the enemy, we say
we will yet meet you in the political battle, and
we shall be able to outvote you even In Kansas.
We say to Republicans do not crow too much
over the present, for the battle will be fought
again on higher grounds. Under the tariff Issues
you must one day 60 down, or else renOunce
your theories Of taxation. The poor man must,
and shall by the grace Of Democratic votes, have
an equal right with the rich In this fair land,
bought with the blood Of our fathers.
Once more we urge the young Democracy Of
Saline county to get together and let US mean
business
Isn't the foregoing a most cheering
sslutation from the left wing Of the
forced consolidation of the political
conservatives of the county Of Saline?

QUICKSILVER AND GOLD.

Precious Metals Said to Be Found
on the San Joaquin Ranch.
The Santa Ana Blade contains an ac-
count of a discovery which may be OF
very great value to this section. This is
nothing less than the finding OF quick
silver in the red butte or mound just
north Of the new San Joaquin ranch
house. 1t seems that the mineral was
discovered over a year ago by a gentle
man who was looking for building stone
on the San Joaquin ranch and
was attracted to the butte by the
peculiar color and large size of its out
cropping boulders. In breaking open
some Of these boulders he found a
peculiar mineral which a skillful assayer
pronounced to be quicksilver. Nothing
has been done toward developing the
lead until quite recently. Now two
men employed by one of the owners OF
the ranch are running drift into the
face of the hin with good results, as
some of the specimens taken out run as
high as "a per cent. quicksilver. Ex-
pert miners believe that gold in paying
quantities will be found in the same
locality.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
A Great Tide of Emigration Setting in
Toward Los Angeles.

The following extract from letter
from Mr.. John Sharp, of Chicago, to a
friend in this city, is worth publication,
as it is the observation of a gentleman
who has made the Southern California
question study, and who by long res
idence in both this section and Chicago,
is familiar with the situation. Mr..
Sharp removed from this city to Chicago
last summer, where he holds good po-
sition, but in the letter referred to, he
declares his intention of returning with
his family to Los Angeles, in the spring
His experience is that of hundreds of
others who returned to the east after
the collapse of the so-called boom. Mr.
Sharp's observations on the Chicago
exhibit and what should be done at the
worlds fair, are well worth perusing.
81 think that from this on there will
be constant increase of emigration to
Southern California. You would be
surprised at the number of people who
are making preparations to go there.
1t is common remark that immediately
after the worlds fair there will be a
rush for your section. The cheapness
of railroad fares to Florida and series

with the idea which many have that
living is very high in Los Angeles, have
kept many from going there. But the
fact is that living is one-third cheaper
in your city than here, and wages are
higher as general thing. l
think that the Florida boom is
waning, for many who have gone
there have returned, and those who
have remained in that state over a
summer. invariably say they have had
enough Of it. On the contrary those
who have passed year or more in
Southern California always long to re-
turn, no matter how anxious they
were to come east. The uniform ex-
cellence OF your climate comes 80 much
as matter of course that it is not ap-
preciated until contrasted with the vari-
ableness of the weather here. One ad-
vantage which Florida now enjoys is the
fact that the railroads leading south are
spending vast sums in advertising the
country, and give low rates OF fare. Per-
haps the time will soon come when the
western roads will pursue a similar
policy.
''The exhibit at the Rialto is doing
good work, but preparations should be
made to expand and magnify the work
from this on until after the fair. The
benefits which will result to California
from the exposition will be incalculable,
and Southern California should not rely
on or be content with being part Of
