STATE GOES REPUBLICAN by $4,000
TO 10000.
Van Buren, County will have Fourteen
Silver supervisors.--state Republican
Ticket Carries Handsome Plurality in
old Van Buren,.

Michigan is yet safe and sound IN the
republican column
Van Buren county is in line as usual,
although the republican voters, through
petty local fights, have permitted con.
troll of the board of supervisors to pass
out of their party's hands.
Nevertheless, the result is by no
means discOuraging, and the republ.
can party OF Van Buren county will
now lay aside its minor differences, get
together, and regain control of the
board OF supervisors next year
The hOwlers for reform" in the man
agement of county affairs have man
aged to throw the dust in the eyes of
the voters and convince them that
there is county extravaganza A fail
ure to materially reduce county ex-
penditures will show that the North
erner has been right in its contention
that Our county affairs are honestly and
economically administered.
Following is IA detailed vote of the
result in the county
PAW PAW.
The vote was considerably lighter
than last fall, 3S4 votes being cast in
the first precinct and 269 in the second
precinct, making total of 653. The
result on the state ticket shows the re.
publican party is still in the ascendancy
in this township, and that local issues
defeated the party candidates for
township Offices. The further fact is
evidenced, by comparing the state and
township tickets that, as the North
erner has always claimed, all parties
are combined for republican defeat.
Among the republican township can
didates, Lewis M. Showerman, like q
veritable Donovan of Bay" is the sole
republican left standing as IA monument
of the local defeat
