KLICKITAT COUNTY RETURNS.
McGraw Carries tho County-Contests
for Local Offices Begun.
GoLDrsDALE. Nov. 2z.-ISpecial.1 The
official count shows that J. II. McGraw
carried the county by 293 votes over
Sniveiy and 146 over Young. The Popu-
lists showed great strength, and by COM
bing with Democrats succeeded in electing
some of their candidates.
A number Of election contests have been
filed in the superior court OF this county
against nearly every officer elected in the
county. The contest was started by d. E.
Brooks, defeated candidate for county
clerk. The Popuiists had made very Bit
ter fight against the Republican nominee
for said office. G. +. Mckinney. When
the votes were counted Mckinney
was the winner by three votes. This
victory, small as it was, aroused Mr..
Mex inney and friends to great pitch of
enthusiasm. 4 transparency was made,
procession formed and a general jubilee
engaged in. This demonstration only
served to heighten the already intense ex-
element. and came near ending in pitched
battle m the streets of this little city be-
tween the opposing factions.
After the excitement. however, the wise
heads of both parties counseled peace and
expressed 4 hope that the defeated candi-
dates would abide by the decision of the
voters and let the officers-elect assume
their obligations at the proper time with
out distractions. 1t was well un-
derstood that the Republicans. if left
alone, would file no contest. although it
was said that both their sheriff and treas
urer were elected. Populists could be de-
feated by throwing out only one precinct,
which was strong Populist precinct and
in which some of the essential election
laws had been wholly disregarded. ID. E.
Brooks, however, filed a contest against
Mr.. Mckinney, and shortly after the Pop
ulist candidates-elect found their own
hold on Office rather shaky. The general
opinion is that the Peoples party pre-
cincts will be thrown out, leaving almost
the entire Republican ticket elected. The
hearing will take place on December II.
