CANDIDATES.

by the county officials and they
can give themselves the credit tor
having been reelected.
The Dodge City republicans an
ticipated the election OF the entire
ticket in Ford county. but fell
down on sheriff and one commits
sioner.
Fremont county, OF which Canon
City is the county seat, elected
every republican candidate with
the exception Of commissioned
all same Otero county.
George Barr only received four
votes in the Nine Mile precinct in
1897. In the recent election he
received ~, two behind Adsmond,
who led the republican ticket in
that precinct.
The democrats figured on a big
majority in Rocky Ford and other
precincts outside Of the county
seat. The republican candidates,
without the vote Of La Junta and
Rocky Ford, carried the county
by majorities ranging from 81 to
50. M
The Rocky Ford sports who re-
ceived tips from democratic head
quarters in La Junta as to how
to place their money have now
more sore spots on their anatomy
than Sharkey did after his .'go"
with big Jim Jearies in ths' fis.ic
arena.
In Colorado the republicans
elected more officials than any
other one party aud over one-third
Of the total number Of officials
elected. The democrats elected
81, silver republicans I3. populists
a., fusion Ioe, independents 10,
and the republicans II8. This
La Junta tribune., 1899-11-11

is indeed very good showing
in state where President Mckin-
ley obtained majority in only one
county.
A. +. Dowuer, the fusion candi-
date for clerk in Prowers county
was defeated. He is brother of
G. H. Downer, OF this city.
The sensible of people who de-
clare that they have voted the
democratic-populist ticket for the
last time are heard from every day
now in constantly increasing num-
bers.
OThere is very good prospect
of hot time in old Kentucky by
the time the election returns are all
in. Both sides claim victory,
and it is now up to the legislature
-or the shotgun.
w. McD. Rowan, OF Garden
City. the genial travelling represen-
tative of the Sims Grocery Com
pany, was elected clerk Of Finney
comfy by majority Of one. He
was the only candidate on the dem
ocrat ticket elected.
The democratic politicians claim
that there are more liars in Otero
county than there are in hades.
They can claim the honor. how
ever. Of still having within their
own ranks some Of the most artis-
tic and persistent prevaricators
ever turned loose. q
The democratic Judge Of election
in precinct No. = says it Is sur
prising the number Of voters there
are in La Junta who vote the
stsaight democrat ticket-with an
exception. He says there were
scores Of ballots in his precinct
which read: hereby vote I

straight democratic ticket except
where l have marked a cross after
the names of Winchell, Beerbohm,
Barr and the rest OF the push.
Colorado. the champion gold
state, imagines that it is stiH for
silver. The fact that the gold
standard is secure gives much Sc
cret satisfaction in Colorado. -
Globe Democrat.
Political conditions have chang
ed considerably in the democratic
precinct of Fairmount., Two years
ago the democrats and populists
had majorities ranging from IS to
I73 and in the recent election the
republican candidate carried the
precinct by an average majority oi
80.
The total vote in Prowers county
was about 400 and four republi-
cans and four fusionists were elect
ed. None of the candidates on
either side received q majority in
excess Of rs. with the exception Of
the fusion candidate for sheriff,
Frank Tate. who had a majority oi
2o7.
The defeat Of F. NJ. WeiIand fou
commissioned is sincerely regretted
by all good republicans and those
who have the best interests Of the
county at heart. Mr.. Weiland has
made one Of the best commission
ers Otero county ever had, and
hiss looked after the interests 81
the county with the same fidelity
that he exercised in making sue
cess Of his private business sifairs.
Even his political opponents admit
that Mr.. Weiland has at all times
been honest. fair and just. and Il
no time was there any evidence oi
The least political prejudice in his
dealings With the people Of Otero
connty-the maid Of honor editor
10 the contrary notwithstanding.
La Junta tribune., 1899-11-11
Ilecr,on ECHOES.

Nebraska gave the fusionites a
majority of about 1900.
Prosperity was very emphatically
endorsed in Tuesdays election.
The republican majority in Iowa
broke all previous records in that
state, being over 90, 900.
In Prowers county the republi-
cans elected the clerk, assessor,
treasurer, coroner and surveyor.
Politics in county affairs in Otero
county received an everlasting
black eye in the recent election.
The Santa Fe shops at Topeka
closed down at o'clock on cleo
ton day to allow the men to vote.
Fl. |. Olmstead, the republican
postmaster at Ordway, was defeat
ed for justice of the peace by one
vote.
The local democratic politicians
claim to derive some consolation
from the fact that Denver went
democratic.
Even old bourbon Kentucky,
which has gone democratic ever
since the flood, has lined up in the
republican column with 5000 ma
jority.
The good" republicans who
torned down County Commission
er Weiland on account Of personal
grievances will live to regret their
action.
Some Of the republican candi-
dates in Pueblo county were elect
ed by nearly $500 majority, and
there is some talk OF making the
election unanimous.
The pluralities OF the republican
candidates in 1897 we're as follows:
Winlhell, 293; Beerbohm, I64;
Barr, 27+; Adsmond, 225; Randall.
73I; F. T. Lewis, 4Ie.
Kansas, South Dakota, Wash
ington and Wyoming, with an cleo
toral vote OF twenty one, have
dropped out of the Bryan list since
1896. Colorado will be in line
next year.
Pennsylvania expressed her opin-
ion Of President McKinley's policy
ef expansion by giving republi-
can majority Of I6s, 900, and it
isn't a very good year for ''imper-
ialism" either.
Fifty thousand, majority in Ohio,
where national questions were
made the issue Of the campaign, is
supreme evidence Of an emphatic
endorsement Of the policies Of the
standardization.
The election of the republican
ticket is credit to the intelligence
and good horse sense Of the voters
Of Otero county. It Is simply
an endorsement Of the record
Of efficiency and economy made
