Election Is over and the STAR is
rejoicing over republican success in the
county, with the exception of the
Office Of sheriff and coroner-the best
ard poorest offices in the cou unty. We
admit our disappointment and regret
over this loss. Mr.. Crane was evident
ly poorly treated by some members of
the party. We resret 1T. But we are
bubbling over with joy because of ths
magnificent manner in which the rest
of the ticket went through. The
people recognize honesty and etticien-
cy; they appreciate the principles OF
republicanism aud recognize merit.
The oft repeated statement by the STAR
that the republican county ticket was
strong one has been subs;antiated
hy the voice of the people. We have
elected competent and worthy set of
men, and there is canse for rejoicing.
The battle has been a fare, square
and manly one. The defeated candi-
dates accept the inevitable with be-
coming grace. They have onr COM
miseration: we know how to sympa-
thize with them.
Fall River county is clearly and
nicely republican. That much is
settled to certainty.
The STAR is grateful beyond ez-
preston over the election OF so large a
number Of its favorite candidates, and
hopes and believes that every one of
them will satisfy the expectation Of
all whose sutfrages they enlisted. Let
lis smile again.
