Democrats Did not Vote.

COLUMBUS Ohio, Nov. 25.--The official
vote of Ohio is about all in now, and this
vote shows that Mckinley is wrong when
he says that the the tariff gave the republi-
cans the victory. The figures show an
average falling off of 1928 votes in each
county for the democrats. As there are
eighty eight counties in Ohio, this foots up
2S,864. The republican vote fell off only
sixty-three to q county. making 5,544 in all.
Add these 5,544 votes to McKinley's 21,50O
plurality. and the great apostle of protec
tion would still have been beaten nearly
1000 votes by Gov. Campbell bad the latter
gentleman received the democratic vote.
The vote of few counties will illustrate.
Hardin county last ear gave Ryan (rep.)
3,154 votes and two republican majority;
this year it gives Mckinley 3, 154 votes, but
the republican majority Is AIS. Where did
the 4l6 democratic votes go? Into the peo-
ple's party, half of them, and the rest did
not vote at all,
Allen county (the homo Of Senator-elect
Brice) last year gave 1,4S9 democratic ma
jority; this year 1,056. Licking last year
came up smiling with 1,47I democratic ma
jority: this year 500.
Senator Thurman was right. 1t was the
silver question that beat the Ohio demo-
Gratis. Yes, it was silver, but not in the

-. = An,n., rcrvu election.


The town election held last Mon
day passed of quietly and little inter
est was manifested untilthe election
was in progress. The desire Of the
townspeople seemed TO be to get Q
Board which would do something ior
the streets and it Is now believed
their hopes have been realized. "nas
was known as the regular ticket con-
tanned the names of Henry Clayton,
DR.. T. II. Gilpin and M. Kumpei' u.
for commissioners John y. Croucn'
treasurer; Joseph G. Jolls or ". =.
Dunning for assessor and hicnaru
Ferguson for alderman.
When the hour for opening tne
polls had nearly arrived J. =. me-
Whorter and w. r. Reynolds were
announced as candidates, but tne
short time in which they had to WORK
handicapped the efforts OF tneT
friends in their behalf. Mr.. Reynolos
had virtually Withdrawn before tne
election and so informed the vosers.
The regular ticket was elected Dy tne
following vote: Clayton, 81; diipln'
81; Kumpel, 70. DR.. Gilpin's vote
was cut on account of the order Oh
the Board of Health, of which he was
a member, that no hog pens snouio
be allowed within the town MINUS )
this edict raised the ire Of those citl-
zens who were welded to the ldea
that the year is incomplete without
hog killin'," and the consequence
was that the Doctor received ten
votes less than Mr.. Clayton, VINO re-
ceived the highest vote for commis-
sioner.
The candidacy of the machine man
from Woppun also cut down Mr..
Kumpel's vote. Both Mr.. Kumpel
and Mr.. McWhorter are popular and
it caused their friends no little trou-
BILE to decide between them. but sucn
a decision was necessary as they both
reside on Main street in the eastern
end of the town and it was not DEEM
ed advisable to have two commission
ers from one section although it Is
believed that if all the town officers
should reside there for year or two
there would be chance for the bet
terment of the streets in that locality.
Mr.. John 8. Crouch was such favor
ite for treasurer that he had no oppo-
sition. His election is highly salts
factory to the people and ne VIII
make an excellent officer. For the
not very lucrative, but highly honor
able Office of alderman, Squire Fer
guson received every vote cast, viz:
iO7.
The ticket elected is satisfactory
During the election six
colored residents of Browntown pre-
sented themselves as voters, but the
Judges decided that as the town
charter declared that only free
WHITE male citizens Of the age OF
twenty-one years and having paid
tax shall be entitled to vote" those
not white had no right to vote. The
colored men retreated in good order.
They were said to be property own
ers and otherwise entitled to vote,
but the color was wrong. 1t would
raise question as to the validity OF
the election should these men ques-
ton the right of the town charter to
deny them certain rights given them
by the constitution Of the United
States. The new board OF commits
sioners will be inducted into Office
within a few dayE.
