Every man on the Republican ticket
Is elected with the exception OF Charlie
Hatton and possibly Henry Schad.
There is still some doubt about Mr..
Schad, but the country is coming in all
right for him and he may yet beat
Rufus by a small majority.
The fight was a hot one from every
standpoint
The Eagle has nothing to regret 1t

it was partially beaten.
Ii did not go down in disgrace but it
goes on as usual realizing that it has
been loyal 10 Wichita and its friends
even though the verdict of the people is
different from what # expected.
1t claims the election of the entire Re

Charlie Hatton made a grand fight
He IS a grand man and deserves better

county.
sarth." He is all right and if the Of
fetal returns prove that he is elected he
will make the best sheriff Sedgwick
county has ever had.
Yesterday morning the Eagle advised
Republicans TO fight to the last ditch.
Don't give up Henry Schad until the
votes are counted The Republicans
and people of this county intend to
elect him and no mistakes should be
made.
II. however. Rufus Cone is elected,
and. il is proven that he is elected, the
people should bow to the viii of the
people.
The people are running this election
business anyway and it is right that
their wishes should be respected. No
matter what they declare for they are
the people and the people are those
who have the right to express them
selvse-
1t was a great fight and the Eagle
Is proud of its victory and the loyal
Republicans that stood by it.
The fight Of yesterday was a decent
one. There was mighty hard work done
on both sides. Every point was we'll
contested and while the fight was not
bitter one * was hard and earnest.
The Republicans lost from 200 to 500
II the city but the country did much
better than was expected.
The Prohibitionists voted solidly for
Dave Dale. He had a string to that or
ganiZation and he pulled II with skill
The Eagle knew this all the time but
II half way hoped that the liberal ele-
ment would come to his rescue but
lisl U11 As usual the
Prohibfuonists and the whisky men
voted together II is d curious thing
that they should but they did Not
only every prohibitionist in the city
voted for Dale but every jointist, but
five, as well. II IS an actual fact that
the joint men paid for the carriages
that hauled the prohibitionists to the
polls. II IS strange but IL is one of the
facts in the campaign that this paper
was aware of all the time.
The Eagle made ceratin predictions;
every one OF them was fulfilled.
Taking il all in all il the returns from
the country are not larger than expect
ed the Republicans achieved a great
victory under the peculiar circunl-
stances under which they fought. II
was the hottest fight that was ever
made in Sedgwick county and The trf-
umpt is great.
There are some indications that Pit
slager beat Wilson for commissioner
but that Will noC be known until today.
