compared with that Of two years ago
when the same county officers were
elected. The same issues were at stake
that year and there was fusion in about
the same number of counties. The
vote of that year, as compiled BY Sec
rotary Sheldon, of the republican state
league, was as follows: Republican,
1872. O54; populist. 114,475; democratic,
2s.sl5; total, 275,S44. The result OF
that election was that the republicans
won a77 of the county officers voted for,
the populists 127 and the democrats 20.

was employed in the election for the
first time in Kansas was an important
factor in shaping the result, but which
party is benefited is question that
only the count of the votes will decide.
Reports from many places in the state
indicated a quiet election with light
vote.
