WASHINGTON, u. c., March 27-It is said
that through the good Offices of secretary
Olneys department. without the representa-
tivcs OF the countries directly concerned
acting, the so-called Iuruan Incl
dent had been divorced from the
Venezuelan boundary dispute and
practically terminated. 1t is understood
that the Yuruan demand now simply becomes
one for personal damages inflicted upon
their property and persons by Venezuelan
officials, leaving out of controversy the
question whether the occurrence was upon
Venezuelan territory aS being irrelevant.
Venezuela will probably pay about T5,ooO
with the distinct understanding that 1t does
not affect the title to the territory.

A Brief Resume of Results in
Trego County.
FUSION CAND IDATES GENERALLY ELECTED.
All Signs Fail in Cheap-Money Cam
Democratic Representa-
tive for the First Time.

The enemy met us, and we are
theirs, for two years at least. The
old adage that ''all signs fail in dry
weather" might be aptly applied to
election times also. Some of the voters
in this county remind one of the
DutchmanS flea now you have him
and then you haven't. Or, more prop
erly speaking, they profess to be
heartily in support of certain princl-
pies and ideas up to the time of ex-
pressing their preference through the
ballot box, when they suddenly funk
and vote right against the men and
measures they have been advocating
for months.
Several of the opposition candidates,
however, received such majorities as
to leave no doubt of their being the
choice of majority of the people of
this county. Some few. however, were
elected by such slim majoritieS that,
taken in connection with some things
that have come to light since the
close of the balloting, would indicate

Trego County Republican Rooster.

The campaign of which the vote of
last Tuesday was the elimination was
in many respects the hardest fought
since the campaign of 1864. Happily
the issue was clearly set forth IN the
platforms of the two leading parties
or rather the republican platform was
clear cut and definite on the one side
and the combined conglomeration
which opposed it was definite in that
it was ''agin" the republican declara-
tion of principles. 1t was the repub-
lican party against the field. There
was no straddle on the money ques-
tion. Party ties cut, less figure than
at any time in this generation. Men
studied and voted as they thought
best. 1t is safe to say that the great
mass of the people know more about
the history of financial legislation
and more about what money really is
and the part it plays in the CONNER
cial world than they ever knew before.
1t has truly been campaign of edu
cation. If the result has been sur
prise to anybody-and it hast is
because so many have been unable to
reach the exact truth, owing to mis-
represe ntation of facts by partisan
press and speakers or by a misinter-
probation of facts by prejudiced and
biased minds. 1t is very hard to make
man see a mistake if he does not
want to see it. The victors can afford
20 be charitable to the yanquished in
this contest. We believe the great
mass of the people on the opposing
sides meant to be honest and to do
what seemed right Both could not
triumph. One must suffer defeat,
the other secure the palm. 1t is just
SO in every contest. 1t requires quite
as much courage to bear victory with
composure as to suffer defeat. The
contest has been hard fought and the
victory well deserved.
President Cleveland's Thanksgiving
proclamation November 20, is quite
appropriate. following the election of
Mckinley, but we Kansas republicans
will be obliged to season our turkey
pretty heavily in order to counterfeit
the flavor of crow.
Pennsylvania's vote for Mckinley
was simply tremendouS-nea unan-
imouS. The iron workers and mill
hands in that state evidently believe
it is better to open the mills and fac
tories than the minis.
The good effects ofqMcKinley's cleo
ton are already being shown. Mills
and factories by the score are being
re-opened, and everything points to
general resumption of business and
return of confidence.
The American people have decis-
iyely shown that they are not in favor
of free silver, and it is to be hoped
that subject viii be allowed to .'requi-

against his fusion opponent. This
has been reduced to an adverse major
ity of 103 in 1896. Mr.. Lawson may
well feel proud of his handsome vote
and the fact that he is the first Demo-
cratic representative the county has
ever had. We believe he will vote in
diligently upon any ordinary bill, but
beyond this we do not expect his ser
vices will be particularly valuable to
his constituents, so far as his action
will affect legislation.
Perhaps the greatest surprise will
be expressed over the result of the
race for county attorney. Two years
ago Mr.. HutZell was defeated by Mr..
Nelson, on combination vote, by a
majority of -. This year, after eX-
changing places, Mr.. Hutzell succeeds
in securing the office by majority of
46. This complete double swap would
seem to indicate that political success
in Trego county is mainly dependent
upon the ''ticket" which carries the
candidate, as there is no other known
or adequate reason aSSignable for this
reversal of popular opinion.
w. III. Swiggett has been elected
clerk of the district court by major
of 90 or more, although his compet-
itor, Mr.. Gibson, received a good ma
jority in his own precinct, as did Mr..
Swiggett in his. Collyer township
will thus be represented in county af-
fairs by two members of the same
family, w. III. and his father, f. c.
Swiggett, who is now Commissioner
from the third district. Mr. Swiggett
will make competent clerk.
Collyer township might have had a
third spoke in tire county hub in the
person of Captain Johnson, who would
have been probate judge elect had his
township given him the hearty sup
port he received in Wa-Keeney. AS
it is, Riverside, with q. w. Tunnel,

mon by majority of "a. By compar-
ing this with the vote on other candi-
dates, Mr.. johnson will not find it inn
possible to accept defeat gracefully.

turns make it impossible to determine
who is elected superintendent or COM
missioner from the first district Mr.
Balloon seems to have majority of p
but we believe that the official canvas
will change the figures. The same
may be said of Mr.. Musgrave's appa-
rent majority of 3. We do not con-
cede the election of either. Mr. Pea
cock leads his ticket by considerable,
and is the undoubted choice of ma
