After the Ball.

ents of Clark county, even by the assist
ance Of a portion Of the democrats, we're
not strong enough to down the republi-
cans In the fall of 1890 Loucks receiv-
ed majority OF about 600 in the county
When our populist friends compare that
vote with Tuesdays returns and consld-
er that in 1890 the democrats were against
them it is not strange that they feel
downcasl and admit that as far as Clark
county is concerned the populist party is
in the minority.
The republicans naturally feel good
over the result of Tuesdays election in
the county Practically no work has
been done and yet Judge Andrews re
ceived a majority of SO votes in county
whore three years ago republican was
nearly as hard to fine as u democart
1t merely shows tho trend Of public sen.
timent and next year republican success
is assured and the old tune majority
confidently looked forward to.
Summit Signal:-The Grant County
Review was very desirous of going ON
record as predicting Bouck's election
Yet the records show that the Review is
talse prophet. The Signal prophesied
his defeat and also that he wouldn't re-
ceive the vote he claimed in his own
county. The returns show we We're cor
rect on both points.
The Signal is credibly informed that
the following message was sent out by a
disguised independent last Tuesday
night.
SUMMIT, Nov. 7th.
Fl. S. L-V.
Summit gives Andrews 81, Bouck s..
You sent out too many Reviews Tor us to
overcome. A FRIEND.
In talking with a prominent Mibank
independent Wednesday he gave 1t as
his opinion that tie peculiarly agrees
i've attitude displayed by the Grant Coun.
" Review had cost Bouck more votes
than 1T had made tor him, and to a great
extent this is undoubtedly true. The
Review early expressed a desire for a
clean campaign and then was the only
paper in the district that overstepped the
bounds in ills efforts to advance the IN
terests ofits candidate. 1t was particular
ly bitter and published matter which
other independent papers refused to
waste space on.
Slsseton Inter Empire Tho vote in
this precinct was very close between
Bouck and Andrews, the latter having
but three majority 1t is generally
conceded that only for the Winslow
publication, circulated on the day pre-
vious to election, the result would have
been in Bouck's favor. Leave such
prevaricators alone and they will work
their own defeat every time.
Henry Independent.-The best vim
dication which a man can have, and the
best refutation which can be given to
the vile and disgraceful tactics resorted
to by the opposition to Judge Andrews,
was the most gratifying vote of Brook
ings city, his home, which was, Andrews
275 and Bouck 75, nearly four 10 one.
Here he is best known and has resided
for over ten years. Still some OF the
self-styled republicans of Watertown,
who are as much below Andrews
morally as hell is below heaven, pro-
fessed to work against him because be
was not "clean man. The ludicrous-
ness OF it is enough to cause the angels
to weep copiously.
Wilmot Reporter: The judicial con
test in the third district has been a hard
fought field and Judge Andrews comes
out victor with about 200 majority.
The contest on the part OF the Andrews
men has been clean one, but as much
cannot be said for the opposition, who at
the last moment resorted to means,
which. when the battle is over, no doubt
seem even to themselves, as unworthy Of
honorable ccmbatants.
Lake Preston Times, 10: Judge }. O..
Andrews is reelected circuit judge by
about two hundred majority. He car
rles six ont of the eight counties, but all
by narrow major,ties. The independents
and democrats combined polled about
fifteen hundred majority in the district,
but Judge Andrews service on the bench
drew just enough votes from the COM
blned opposition to elect HIM.
