The municipal election, Tuesday, re-
suited in a decisive Republican ticket
victory all along the line, every man be.
ing elected by a safe majority. The can
vaSs was doubtless one of the closest and
wsrmest i'll the history of our municipal
ity. and up to a few days before the cleo
ton the chances of both tickets for win
ming were fairly ven But a. the fact
became more and more clear that the
Burlington influence was being felt on
behalf of the Republican ticket the
chances Of the Citizens ticket became
more and more beautifully less; and the
show of interest and strength made by
the company, election day, made it ap-
parent to one even casually posted that
the result was only a question of major
ity, so when the canvas was completed
at about nine o'clock no surprise was
felt or shown at the result.
Shortly after the result was announced
the Brigade band put in an appearance,
which was the signal for quite an enthu-
siastic celebration or ratification of the
victory achieved. The band played a
number of stirring selections, there was
some brief speech making and much
vocal demonstration of joy. After a
while the boys opened up a key of nails
or so and everybody had a good time
according to his ability for enjoyment.
The meeting adjourned, the joyful gath.
ering dissipated and the famous munich
pal election of the spring of 1895 was a
matter of history.
The run on the yellow ribbon counter
was unprecedented.
The probabilities are that some of the
ladies would o have voted had they
understood the law.
About $50 ladies voted for members OF
the board of education. For enthusiasm
they double discount the men.
The coming administration promises
to be one of some radical reforms, so it
is openly stated. That's the boy.
The Republican band wagon is a reg
ular Jug%gernaut pulverizing anything Oh
anybody that comes athwart its path.
Wrap the rest of those little campaign
fbs up in tin foil and lay them away fol
future reference. They will do for mex
Spring-most of them.
An ardent supporter of Mayor Kelly
offers to wager that there will not be {
gambling house in McCook within thirty
days. He has $500 to put up.
Mayor Kelley has instituted his worl
of reform already by notifying the own
ers of cigar stores that card playing fol
cigars will no longer be tolerated.
When Supt. Campbell and his force
buckle ON their armor and enter tn,
political arena it seems to be then onl!
a question of majority. His leverage i
powerful.
Mayor Kelley's hypnotic influence
over the subjects of Nicholas Three Time
is irresistible. He doubtless got ever,
Russian ote The Little Car of New
Russia is a winner, at any rate.
The election has unfortunately lief
behind it an unusually deep-seated bit
terness and resentment which bodies no
we'll for the harmonious prosperity o
our city, and is to be regretted.
The Republican ratification. Tuesda.
night, was quiet but the delight over tn
victory was none the less hearty ant
genuine, for the Citizens ticket put up
strong fight and no mistake.
A Russian was arrested for alleged il
legal voting. but was released On Wednes
day morning for the reason that no on
made complaint. It is stated that tn
fellow hailed from Culbertson. He wa
| intoxicated.
