Holmes County Farmer---His Figures
are Worthy Of Careful Study, and are
Full OF Interest.
ED DNEws-DEMoCRAT:
As to the controversy between Senator
Howells and the Holmes County Farmer l
have nothing to say. But when the Far
mer says "that the Democrats Of Stark
county had better get out better vote for
the Democratic candidate for Governor
the coming fall than they did last fall"
consider that's reflection on the Democra-
cy of Stark county, and desire to call the
Farmers attention to q few iacts and fig.
ures. The Holmes County Farmer must
not forge the fact that Stark county cast
2G0 votes more for Congressman last fall
than the other three counties in the dis
trict combined.
However, desire to say that all the
counties in the district did well, under the
circumstances.
Take the official vote of the district as
found in the Secretary af States report,
and we find that Holmes county gave
Cromley, the Democratic candidate for Sec.
Congress 3,3V votes. Warwick re-
ceived 1lS votes less than Cromley. In
other words Warwick was cut So votes to
the hundred in Holmes county. Warwick
also received IL votes less than Cleveland
did in 1888, in Holmes county.
Z,EaN
votes, Warwick 2,139 votes, 100 less than
Cromley. Warwick was cut in Medina
county AZ votes 10 the hundred. Warwick
received AZ votes less than Cleveland did
in 1888, in Medina county.
In Wayne county, Gre m 'ey received 1924
votes, Warwick 4,793 votes, 13l votes less
than Cromley. Warwick was cut in Wayne
county 2A votes to the hundred. War
wick received 95 votes less than Cleveland
did in 1888 in Wayne county.
In Stark county, Cromley received 10040
votes, Warwick $3.50 votes, 290 votes less
than Cromley. Warwick was cut in Stark
| county 9-1O votes to the hundred. And
votes in Holmes, Medina and Wayne coun-
| ties than Cleveland did in 1888, while in
! Stark county Warwick received 656 votes
more than Cleveland did in 1888.
In the face of these facts the Holmes
County Farmer tries to make it appear
| that the Democrats of Stark county did
not get out their vote.
| From the above figures find that War
wick was cut the heaviest per hundred
votes in Medina, then comes Holmes, then
Stark, and the slightest cut was in Wayne
Let us see where Mckinley made his
largest gains. In Holmes county, Ryan.
the Republican candidate for Secretary of
State, received 1,225 votes, Mckinley re-
ceived 1886 votes, III votes more than
| Ryan. McKinley's gain over Ryan 14A
votes to the hundred, in Holmes county.
In Medina county Ryan received 9, 1863
votes, Mckinley 3,527 votes 152 votes more
than Ryan. McKinley's gain over Ryan
AZ votes TO the hundred in Medina county.
In Wayne county, Ryan received 4,08S
votes, Mckinley 4,407 votes, 322 votes
more than Ryan; McKinley's gain over
Ryan 78 votes to the hundred in Wayne
county.
In Stark county Ryan received 9,OS2
votes, Mckinley l0,427, a45 more votes
than Ryan. McKinley's gain over Ryan
$50 votes to the hundred in Stark conn
~.
The above figures show that Mckinley
made his largest gains in Holmes county,
and his smallest in Stark county. Nc
KInley's gain was a little over9 votes more
To the hundred Ia Holmes county than in
Stark county. Warwick was also cut Clio
OF a vote more in Holmes county than in
Stark county.
To sum the whole matter up II McKin-
ley had made the same gain in stark
county that he made in Holmes county, he
would have received 900 more votes in
Stark county than he did. III Warwick
had been cut in Stark county at the rate
Ne was cut in Holmes county, he would
have received 81 votes less than he did
and IL the Democrats of Stark county, in.
Il stead of giving Warwick 500 votes more
than they gave Cleveland 10 1888, had
done as Holmes county did, when she gave
Warwick IL votes less than she gave to
Cleveland in 1888, instead OF Warwick
being elected by 302 votes over Mckinley
Mckinley would have been elected by q
majority of l ,3l6 over Warwick.
