y careful investigation will disclose
Inc fact that tie peoples party vote has
fallen off from 25O To 800 from the vote
of 1890 the average Of their vote in
the count: last year being 1850
IC will also be observed that there
were more former democrats remained
with the peoples party, in proportion To
those of last year, than there were
former republicans.
In Great Bend the peoples party did
not come up to the strength estimated
by the most conservative, showing but
little gain over the vote of 1890, when
some expected it to be nearly double
last years vote.
Taking the result as whole, there
are none OF the defeated candidates
who. need feel very badly over their
defeat. The men of all parties made
pretty square fight for their tickets,
and while there are peoples party men
who still make the charge that there
was combination between democrats
and republicans on the county candi-
dates the result will not bear them out
in the assertion.
There were, Of course, individuals
who worked against their party ticket
on both the democrat and republican
sides, as there always are in any cleo
tion. But the party which did not
sanction such wOrk-and we know the
democratic party did not cannot be
justly held responsible for the acts of
few individuals.

Some Kansas Counties.

The contest in Reno county was be-
tween the republicans and the peoples
party, the latter being supported main.
ly by the democrats. Approximately
complete returns from most of the
wards and precincts indicate the elec.
ton of the entire republican ticket by a
narrow plurality, though both sides
are claiming it.
The entire republican ticket in Riley
county is elected. Last year the peo-
ple's party elected every officer but that
of probate judge. The peoples party
lost in nearly every precinct.
Peoples party have probably elected
their Kingman county ticket though
republicans may possibly elect county
clerk and sheriff. w. o. Bashore, peo-
plies, is elected judge in the Twenty
eighth district.
Dickinson county shows alliance
losses, but incomplete returns indicate
partial alliance victory On county ticket.
In the eighth judicial district Hum
phrey is elected over Nicholson. In
Sedgwick county the republicans have
won, e!ectiBg their judge, with the
sheriff in doubt. The alliance was not
in it.
Leavenworth democrats won a
straight victory, while Atchinson went
republican.
The alliance carried Linn. Marshall
and Harper by reduced figures. Jewell
county is split. The alliance was
routed in Geary county, the home
of Congressman Davis. Dickinson
county is divided. Douglas county il
republican over fusion. Shawnee is
republican over both democrat and peo.
ple's party.
Pawnee county elected the peoples
candidate for surveyor; all the rest OF
the officers republican.
In Rice county the only report we
can get is that the republican county
ticket is elected.

THE REPUBLICANS I'm
1T" ON SHERIFF AND
TREASURER.
FRANK STROTHMAN SAVED, BUT
CLOSE BETWEEN KLEIN
AND TYPER.
THE PEOPLES PARTY GETS ONE OF
THE COMMISSIONERS
SIBLY TWO.

The Situation as it Now Appears.
AS we go to press the result appears
as follows:
Dick Bosse, republican candidate, is
elected treasurer by good round plur-
ality; Pleger being second and thinner
third.
Geo. Spencer, the republican, is
elected sheriff 10y over one hundred
plurality; Tom Mallory second and s..
5. Wilkinson third in the race.
Frank Strothman, democrat, is elected
Williams coming in close second and
John Strothman third.
For clerk, it is a close, neck and neck
and r. p. Typer, republican, with Jim
McCauley hustling up close to both of
them. The figures now in, as given in
the tabulated statement to be found
elsewhere, give Typer plurality OF
about twenty five, but the official
count will be necessary to determine
the exact plurality.
For coroner, DIR. Lash, the democrat
and people party candidate, wins by
something over five hundred votes.
For surveyor Sid Newcomb, the re-
publican candidate, ''gets there" while
Bernard Markey and Mr.. Chambers
follow pretty close to him.
Clayt Moses secures the commission
ership of the second district, according
to present figures on hand by "A ma
jority.
In the third district, w. P. Bruce,
peoples party candidate, has some 40
odd votes to spare; Henry Boyle, dem
Ocrat, coming second and Dave Howell,
republican, third.
The battle was a hard fought one in
this county, and one that will long be
remembered as the most uncertain in
possibilities of any one that has ever
been held in the county.
The third party strength was an un-
certain quality; it is shown by the result
that the strength Of that party was
greatly over-estimated by some and
enderestimated by others, Individ-
ual preference cut large figure in all
parties, and personal effort at the polls
bad great deal to do with the un-
merciful scratching that was done on
all hands.

polied for democrat in Great Bend
