about 100. Stanley for register by "a,
Brown for surveyor by 200, The vote
on coroner is close and 1t will take
the official count to decide il although
Il looks as IL Rose might be the lucky
man. The Republicans elected are
Gordon, Denny. Lloyd, and Stanley.
None Of the Populists on the county
ticket are elected with the exception of
Rose and he is claimed by the Demo
Gratis as, in reality, one OF their num-
ber.-
There will be no means OF getting the
vote complete before tomorrow at
which time the official count viii be
made by the county board of commits
sioners. Some townships sent in the
vote in detail, but the most of the town
ships sent in only the pIuralities and
hence no table can be made.
Both committees have received IN
official returns and they correspond in
every instance.
Last night the Democrats and Popu-
lists locked up their headquarters and
deserted them. The Republicans prac-
tically closed their headquarters too as
the only one found there at o'clock
was Secretary John Vanneman, who
said that Gordon, Lloyd, Denny and
Stanley had been elected beyond
doubt
Henry Schad gave up" early in the
day and admitted that he was beaten

Men who voted against him told a
reporter last night that IL he ever comes

Charley Hatton after getting the first

very sangUine of success and he was
not 10 blame for It. The fact is enough
people promised 10 vote for him TO give
him 1890 majority and he being a man
OF his word himself thought every other
man was In other words nearly 1000
people deliberately lied to him and he
did not suspect them.
At any rate he made a splendi cam
paiSn. It was decent and clean cut
and better results Were deserved.
Mr.. Jackman made an elegant. al
though very quiet campaign and would
have won but for the fact that great
many Of his votes were traded for some
reason. Most of the Democrats who
voted for Republican candidates
caught some Republican votes for
Brown The thing was systematic on
the part Of the-Democrats and the Re-
publicans never suspected il.
Mr. McLean's campaign was also a
quiet one and the reason he ran ahead
of Mr. Jackman was due to the weak
ness Of his opponent.
Dale's campaign was carried on on
the most scientific principles. He is

local troubles commenced. with A ma
jority of 1000. His own friends admit |
that he lost 500 votes during the last !
four days Of the campaign. They also |
admit that if the campaign lasted six |
days longer the balance of the ticket |
would have to be dropped to elect Mr.. |
Dale.
Considering the opposition and all |
the disadvantages on the path Of Re |
publicans a great victory was won. !
