THE OFFICIAL COUNT.
The Official Count Increases Somewhat the
Handsome Republican Plurality

handsome Republican Plurality
in This County.
The County Board of Registration, or
at least three of it's numbers, Messrs.
Newcomb, Davis and Ogden, resolved
itself into the Board of Canvassers Fri
day, and made up the official count of the
election held in this county on Tuesday
last. County Clerk acted as Clerk of the
Board, and the members of the various
election boards forwarded the official re-
turns.
Ihe entire afternoon was spent in figur-
ing up the vote, and when it was COM
pleted showed substantial increase in
the plurality given John w. Griggs for
Governor.
The returns show that there were 9615
votes cast, against 1901 last fall. On Tues
day there were 45 ballots rejected. Last
fall for Congress the Republicans cast
1919 votes and this fall the Republicans
cast 5315 for Governor. Last fall Assem-
blyman Minch received 1886, and this fall
he received 5229. Last fall Austin re-
ceived 45SS, this fall he received SOFT. One
year ago Coroner Halsey received 4722
votes, this fall the Republican candidate
received 53lS. This shows very healthy
increase in the Republican vote, and is a
healthy indication of Republican victory
next year.
There was falling off in the Prohibi-
ton vote in this county. Last year Gill
bert for Congress had $50 votes. This
year Wilbur for Governor had but 493.
The vote for Prohibition candidate for
Coroner last year was COL. On Tuesday
the Coroner's vote was $50. But tie Pop
ulist took the biggest slump. The vote
for Coroner last year was 1867, this year it
was but 574. Last year there were 81 Soc
ia1ist Leader votes cast, this year but rs.
The vote for the Republican candidates
on Tuesday last follows:
Griggs, 5315
Stokes, 523l
Minch, 5229
Austin, 5O77
Bacon, 531S
The majorities of the Republicans are
as follows:
Griggs, 21OO
Stokes, 2O77
Minch, 1926
Austin, 1774
Bacon, 2O96
The majorities of Minch and Austin ap-
pear reduced, but their vote was nearly
up with the others. The difference in
the majorities is due to the fact that Shep-
pard, the Democratic candidate, ran
ahead of his ticket considerably. Nc
Gill had 32l5 votes; Ludlam, 3154 votes,
while Sheppard had 1903 votes, or l49
votes more than Ludlam.
There were quite number of freak
tickets. Assemblyman Minch, Jesse B.
Glaspey and Ed. H. Sheppard each re-
ceived vote for Governor. There were
fifteen names voted for Assembly other
than the candidates, and five for Coroner.
The table shows the official vote.

IN LN.SU T TO THE SOUTH.

IN /NSUL T TO THE SOUTH.
The Financial Chronicle of New
York, a newspaper read exclusively
has been saying something's lately
that are not likely to please the
Southern voters. The columns of
the Chronicle are seldom if ever ex-
posed to the vulgar gaze of the
common people of the land, and
probably owing to that fact this jour
nal says anything that suits its own
fancy and meets with the approba-
ton of its aristocratiC Eastern read
ers. The Chronicle looks upon
the people Of the South as we akneed
and unprincipled voters waiting for
an opportunity to sell out to the
highest bidder. 1t suggests the
plan to raise large fun. in New
York to be devoted to the work of
ssfurthering the Sound money cam
paign in the South" With bold
effrontery and unparalleled impu-
dence this goldbug organ coolly
proposes that a committee Of the
New York Chamber Of Commerce,
of which one Gustav Schwab is
chairman, proceed to raise the ne
cessary funds to pay the expenses
of the "sound money" candidates
and to educate the people with
"sound money" speeches.
The people of this section will
ha dly submit without protest to
this monstrous scheme of the New
York goldbugs, who, with all the
persuasive power of their god, can
not teach the people of this country
a tenth part of what they have al
ready learned from experience dur
info nation emanatinS from such a
source will be received with much
distrust, for, like old Abe Lincoln
used to say "you can not fool all
the people all the time" Since
when do New York capitalists love
us SO much that they will spend
some of their high priced gold to
educate us in order that we may
not be led astray by designing po-
litiCians This beautiful abnega-
ton in our behalf, if it be sincere,
augurs well for an early oblitera-
ton OF the last vcstigc of sectional
rancor, or perhaps it may be taken
as warning to the people of the
South that if they intend to win this
fight they will have to do some tall
hustlinS.

Hs NsW IgERLI PLAN.

The w " ISGhEd ELA "
The New Iberia plan to enforce
the Sunday law suggested by IN
official OF that town is indeed a
most novel and refreshing method
to deal with this troublesome Off
-pring Of Puritanism. 1t is p'o-
posed to close the front doors Of
the saloon and leave the back doors
open to visitors. This plan may
have the merit Of originality, but
beyond that it does not possess d
single redeeming feature. The Ga
zette is .anal.erably opposed to the
Sunday law for the simple reason
that it is an encroactment upon
the rights, personal, civil and re-
!igious, Of the citizen. 1t is the
first step toward the rrle of fanati-
c1sm and intolerance. While it is
claimed to be American it is OPP
posed to the spirit of the American
constitution. 1t robs the citizen Of
that liberty of conscience guaran-
teed to every one by that great in
strument. The Sunday law has
placed dangerous power in the
hands of fanatics in Mississippi and
other States where the Seventh Day
Adventists are prosecuted and
jailed though guilty of no crime,
unless it be that of worshiping
their God in their own way and on
the day designated by the Bible.
What it did there it will do here if
not checkmated. But as much as
we hold in adherence all kinds of
Sunday legislation, we believe that
the Sunday law, as it stands on our
statutes, should be enforced to the
letter. Not enforced according to
the Iberia plan by closing the front
doors only. That will be a perfect
mockery of law and will encourage
men to violate all statutory enact
ments. 1t will make sneaks and
hypocrites of the people and it will
cultivate disposition among the
officers of the law to condone viola
tons Of laws whenever they are con-
cealed from the eyes Of the public.
