The Democrats DOWned and Calam-
ityites Given a TrOuncing They
Will Never Forget.
Hurrah For Reed, Ault, Doran, Oarvin,
Barrett, MoAllister and Bailey, and
a Tiger For the Little Giant
Honest Johnny Allen.

| DallOIS TO MAINTAIN the reputation, the
credit and the fair name of that Peerless
Princess which they all love. The Democ-
racy and the Alliance are completely
| showed under and they are naturally very
downcast. The EAGLE said that Moore
wasn't sin it'' and the returns demon
strate that the EAGLE was right. The
| EAGLE said the fight was be-
tween the Republicans and the
Alliance and in this the EAGLE was right
again for the full returns tomorrow will
show that the Democracy will be third in
the race. The business men had their vest
pocket vote which the opposition relied on
so much but as luck had it that vest
pocket-vote was Republican vote which
was cast in the interest of the business Of
Wichita and Sedgwick county.
The vote in the city was exceedingly
| light and at 6 o'clock when the polls
closed Republicans as well as Democrats
were very respondent, particularly when
| they heard that the Alliance were putting
in their ballots straight, both in the town
and country. 1t is doubtful if there were
ten men in town who would be willing to
bet any considerable sum of money that
the Republicans would win. It looked
very "Ailiancy'' and that party was very
jubilant, but when the judges commenced
counting they changed their tune and be-
came Respondent. They had banked
good deal on what they called the disaf-
fected Reed Republicans, but they
did not materialize or if they
did there were enough Democrats who
supported him to make up for the loss
Judge Reed went out Of the city with l 500
majority over Babb, which insures his
election by majority Of from 500 to GOO,
at least, according to the estimate of the
leading politicians of all parties
Chairman Morris Of the Republican
party claimed last night that the entire
Republican ticket was elected by good
majorities, and his claim was conceded at
Alliance and Democratic headquarters
The Alliance men had no hope as
the reports from the rural districts
showed no indications of gains over last
years vote Ault developed remarkable
strength in the city and surprised all his
friends for but few of them expected that
he would do anything more than hold his
own with Mosbacher in the city while
many Democrats and Republicans too
thought he would loose Wichita by few
hundred. Barrett surprised not only his
friends but everybody else, for but very
few considered the one legged old
soldier would develop such re-
markable speed as to beat Charlie
Schaefer who was considered the swiftest
candidate on the Democratic ticket Bets
were offered yesterday at noon that
Schaefer would beat Barrett 200 votes in
FL ,if l,r,t holI
own with him, but went him 200 votes
better
1.-The EAGLE did it," was the exclama-
ton of everybody. Its strong argu-
ments against the idea of saddling an AL
lance corpse of officers upon this
county struck the business men
in tender spot and they acted
according to lis advice and as one of than
said last night they will never have occa-
sion to regret it. The Democrats, in the
heat of their wrath over the trashing they
received, think their organ is the cause of
the republican tidal wave, and insist that
they always said it would cause the COM
plete destruction of their party before it
would let up. That seems TO be a family
quarrel, however, which the Republicans
seemed willing, last night, that they
should settle themselves. The news was
received in front OF the EAGLE Office
last night with great cheering and every
body seemed glad over the result with the
exception of the inner circles of the politi-
cal parties that got beaten.
No returns came in from the country
precincts last night, save a few and they
were not vouched for; they were merely
reports.
The following IS full and complete re-
port of the returns from the various pre-
cincts of the city. They are absolutely I
correct, rs they were taken with great care
and carefully compared with the official /
returns sent into the city clerks office /
