Rudolph Colby has ever reason to be

Elwane Miner, by 442 votes.
Jay ID. Royce started in to the campaign
unknown to very large proportion of the
voters, while his opponent had wide ac-
quaintance. Mr.. Royce made friends every
where and will, as time goes on, become,
we believe, one of the most popular officials
the county has ever had. He is gentle
man, pleasant and accommodating, good
business man and citizen of whom every
one may be proud.
Henry II. Pulyer's defeat, If such is the
case, was undoubtedly due to the fact that
he at one time affiliated with the green
hackers, a political organization similar to
the present silver combine. He had thor
oughly recovered from any faint of green
backism, but the people didn't seem to
fully realize it. He will undoubtedly be
nominated again and be elected.
The republican candidates for commits
sioners ran ahead of their tickets, being
representative, energetic and popular young
men. Our candidates for coroners OBJ
tanned the party majority, showing tha
their work was satisfactory, while the ma
jority for Ezra Mason, surveyor, was as II
always the case, when he runs ahead of the
party vote.

THE TIMES has received credit for the
work done in the present campaign. Sew
eral Of the candidates have, by letter, thank
ed us for the very earnest efforts in their
behalf, and we believe it is conceded by all
that THE TIMES conducted the only aoork-
ing republican paper in the county. Some
b ave supported the ticket consistently but
have put forth no special efforts. Others
have been on the fence, giving the silverites
an equal amount of support with the sound
money tickets, while others have conducted a
straight silver campaign. We worked hard
and earnestly because we had the cause as a
whole at heart. We did special work for
the state, legislative and county candidates
because we knew the men personally and
knew them to be superior to the opposition
candidates and to be true republicans. We
were prepared to 20 with the party on Its
principles, and II defeated we did not want
TO wish-wash our way into the favor OF the
men elected. II we won we share the glory
of the victory.

The Dorcas Home.

A visit To the Dorcas Home, Ola N. Hick-
DRY street, will repay anyone WHO Is at all
interested In the welfare of little children,
who, homeless and poor, are too often car
ried about on the sea of life like drowning
men clin ging to any means of existence on
ly to sink into poverty and crime. The
Dorcas Home is the expression of the true
home missionary spirit of this community,
and as such deserves the attention of all.
There are eleven children who are receiv.
ing the benefits of home and home train
ing. The youngest is seven months old and
was christened Frederick Remington, Fri
day, Rev. K. w. Hunt officiating. The
Oldest is boy Of eleven years. Seven OF
the children are boys and four are girls,
Nine of the children attend the Emerson
school and are fully up to the average in de-
pertinent and studies.
The home is In charge of Mrs. II. M. Per
kins, matron, assisted by Miss Maggie
Sharplie, and everything about the home
indicates that they are performing their du
ties acceptably.
The children have each some work to do
one tending to the water, others to the Woo
and others to the many things children Cal
do around home IL they are taught. Tn
beds are comfortable and warm. Those VIII,
are old enough make their own beds and d.
it nicely, too. In the hall upstairs the hat
and cloaks are hung up, each having hi
own hook.
The dining-room Is model of neatness
and the table presented pleasing appear
ance, every effort being made to teach tn
children good table manners. They ar
hearty eaters, and thus far have been fe
with good, wholesome food.
Saturday afternoon the children were th
guests of Miss Maud Gale, 51S West Olive
street. They enjoyed their refreshments
and had general good time which the
will long remember.
Do they need anything? Yes, eleve
children need a great deal, and this humble
is likely to be increased at any time. Any
thing in the way of food, clothing and NOR
ey will always be acceptable. The beds al
all filled and another one would be desirs
BILE addition. Any gifts may be left wit
the matron at the home or the secretar.

Close of the Campaign.

The last day before a presidential cleo
ton Is always one Of intense excitement and
one 10 which the outbreaks of campaign en-
thusiasm are apt to reach the highest and
che loudest point. Monday was no excep-
ton to the rule and every effort was made
TO arouse the interest of campaign-tir
voters.
In the afternoon Hon. w. M. Fitzpatrick,
Hon. Il. M. Cheevsr and Hon. w. s. Lin
ton held forth at the armory to an interest.
cd audience.
In the evening Hon. w. r. Burt spoke
Tor free silver at the Salisbury opera house,
being escorted there from the Ann Arbor
depot by the Owosso city band.
The sound money voters more than
duplicated the. grand parade and rally
given the night Of Gov. Powers speech.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1896-11-06

The streets were lined with spectators
whose enthusiasm expressed itself In shouts
and all kinds of instrumental noise. The
glow OF red lights and the explosion OF fire
works made the streets, at times, blaze OF
light.
The procession numbered fully twelve
hundred people, and as the spectators
watched it march and countermarch on
Washington street, there seemed to be no
end to the lines of sound money voters.
Forty young ladies of the high school, at
tested their belief in Mckinley and protec-
ton, by forming an attractive section OF the
parade. Numerous transparencies bore con-
densed arguments in favor Of national hon.
or. One was inscribed "You can't relieve
the debtors Of rs by robbing the creditors
of &c." Two traction engines with un'
earthly whistles brought up the rear OF the
| line and rave out all the noise that could be
desired.
Odell Chapman made the closing speech
of the campaign, at the armory and was
listened to for over two hours by an audi
ence whose enthusiasm was often raised Il
the highest pitch, while the speakers wi
brought oat many a round of laughter.
Taken altogether the meeting was a fit

Receiving the Returns.

Tuesday was an ideal election day both
in regard to the results and the weather.
The morning was as fair and warm as a
June day, and before noon over half the
total vote of the city was polled. The su.
preme impotence of the voters manifested
itself by the large number of voters who as.
sembled at the polling places before the
polls were opened. In the middle Of the
afternoon the sky became cloudy and a
slight rain fell until supper time.
After supper the citizens began to assem-
BILE in the several places where the returns
were reported. At the ArmOry, operators
b. s. Stratton and Frank Collamer received
the returns over the Postal Telegraph Com
pany's wire, and the results were announc'
and posted by Miles Tumble. About
three hundred were present.
At the Y. M. G. A. rooms reports were
received over the Postal Telegraph Compa-
ny's wire by operator Roy Cheal and posted
by Will Lovett, G. ID. Stewart and j. w.
Simmons. The rooms were crowded, the

hearing the returns under such favorable
conditions. The returns were frequently
cheered, enough members of all parties be-
ing present to make the cheering interest

Wednesday morning. Over 1000 persons
were present. in the course of the evening.
Probably the most intense enthusiasm
was displayed at the Mckinley club rooms,
where three telephones and telegraph
wire were kept hot with the good news
that kept coming until daylight.
At the Bryan club rooms, operator Frank
Rappleye took the reports from the West
ern Union wire, and the news favorable to
Bryan was received with tremendous cheer
ing.
At the Argus Office operator Warren
Beckwith took the news from a Western
Union wire. The bulletins we're written
