show that the entire Republican ticket
was elected yesterday. Not man seems
to be missed The Republican candidates
for county commissioners in the city dis.
trict appear to have received majorities
varying from 1000 to l4,000. Mr.. Eek
hart, Republican candidate for drainage

other candidate for that office.
The only Democrat elected was Lyman d.
Cooley, drainage trustee, who comes in as
the minority representative. 1t is one of
the most sweeping Republican victories
ever known III Cook county and is largely
due to continued dissensions in the Dem
ocratic ranks. A significant feature OF the
election is that nearly every man endorsed

KANSAS CRY. Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE election
returns from Kansas are coming in very
slow. Nothing has been heard from any
of the counties in the western part Of the
state. Almost all of the counties III the
eastern portion have made partial re-
turns Such returns as have been returned
would indicate that the Peoples party has
lost its prestige.
Out Of 50 counties from which returns
have been received six will probably elect
a Peoples Party ticket, and these, with the
exceptions of Marshall and zingman, at
greatly reduced plurality. These counties
show gains of 300 and 200, respectively
The other counties will elect straight Re
publican or fused Republican and Demo
cratic tickets.
OF the 10 district judges to be elected the
Republicans have probably elected eight

A Hot Struggle hut the Result is Not

OMAHA. NEB., Nov. BIN spite of the
fact that light vote has been polled, the
election to-day has been the most holly
contested of any struggle ever witnessed in
Nebraska. The light vote is due partly to
the weather and to the Australian ballot
system. 1t required from 10 to % minutes
for voters to properly mark the ballots,
and as consequence of the delay many
men deserted the polling places after re-
naming in line an hour without being
able to reach the election booths.
Owing to these drawbacks no definite re-
suits will be known for days. The offices
contested for supreme court judge and
regents of the State University.

all over the state say the weather has been
wretched, a drizzling mist falling all day,
and a raw wind blowing. The vote was
very light everywhere Besides the light
vote the only noticeable feature of the
polling is the failure Of the sub-Aliances

Governor Boies and the success of the
Entire Democratic State Ticket.
Dies MONIES, Ia, Nov. Sat this hour
every indication points to the election of
the entire Democratic ticket by hand
some majority
Dispatches from all over the state show
slightly increased pluralities for Boies over
his vote of two years ago. In seven out of
the 10 precincts in Pottawattamie county
Boies shows a net gain of 1863.
Dubuque City shows an increased vote
of more than 1000, which, as that city is
overwhelmingly Democratic, means an in
creased plurality for Boies Burlington
reports an increased plurality for Boies Of
200. Red Oak gives Boies a plurality of 81,
an increase of $50 over two wears ago. The
town Of Wapello, which has always been
Republican, cast u total of 4S2 votes, out Of
which Wheeler only has u majority of 80.
-Four precincts in johnson county out
side of Iowa City give Boies an increased
majority of 123. liz Algona Boies gets an
increased majority Of 3D. In only four OF
five precincts from which reports have
been received have gains been made by
Wheeler over the vote of 1889.
Chairman FELTON, now claims the cleo
ton Of Boies by good round majority.
AT Republican headquarters they are
claiming Wheeler's election, but not so
confidently as earlier in the evening. Re-
turns from the outside districts are coming
in slowly.
There seems to be no question that
Horace Boies is reelected governor Of
Iowa by an increased majority. Returns
are slow in coming in, but the tenor Of
those that have been received leaves no
reason to doubt that such is the result.
The strong Democratic maiorities of
Dubuque, scott. Dies Moines, Lee. johnson
and Pottawattamie counties were quite
unexpected by the Democrats themselves,
while the returns from the interior are OF
the same character. The returns arc from
widcly-separated points, and indicate that
the Democrats have not been disappointed
in their expectations Of large gains among
the farmers.
The First precinct of the Sixth ward.
Des Moines, shows net Democratic gain
of ITO. The vote cast was very large and
will probably overreach 400, 900.

LOOKING AHEAD.

An Eastern Democratic paper is discuss
ing the question whether if Cleveland should
be elected in 1892 TIE third term idea would
bar him out in 1895? 1t is contended that
as Democrats can do nothing in the first
four-year term on account Of the Senate,
which is likely to remain Republican, the
party should have a second term in which
to effect needed reforms. 1t is intimated
also that as Cleveland was retired for one
term after his first the third term idea
cannot apply until 1860 The third term
idea is what the people choose to make it.
1t has prevented the consideration Of any
President for third consecutive term since
Washington. The only man who has been
thought Of for a third term was General
Grant who voluntarily retired at the close
of his second term. The feeling against the
third term was not so much that the PTeSi-
dent might use the power of his Office to per-
petuate his rule, as that third or fourth
term was Tepugnant TO the general character
of our institutions If Cleveland should be
elected in 1892, the period from March 4,
1885, to March 4, 1897, VIII constitute his sec
omd term. Any argument which might
justify his continuance in Office third term
on the ground that he has acquired expert
ence and fitness would apply 10 life tenure
of office. None of our Presidents have
found the duties of the Office so difficult that
a term Of apprenticeship was necessary.
There are scores of men in both parties
reasonably well equipped for the Presiden-
tial office
