TWO DEMOCRA rs
CARRY CANTON.
Pomerene and Meyer Ran Ahead
of the Ticket.
CALDWELEWAs SEVERELY CUT
While Snyder, Against Whom the Same
Forces Worked, Ran Ahead of
His Ticket The Totals
In the city.
rom Today's Eariy Ndition.

From Todays Early Edition.
On the general ticket the Republicans
carried the city of Canton by safe
majority but it will not be so much of a
majority as it was carried by Mr.. Nc
Kinley, in 1896, though on some county
offices by considerable more. Nash
carried the city by 435, while Caldwell,
for lieutenant governor, who made a
speech here, carried it by but 204. 1t
is evident that the Anti-Saloon League
did Caldwell some harm, but this is
hardly to be reconciled with the vote of
Snyder, against whom the same league
made an open fight. Snyder made a
great run, being second only to Harvey
Smith. Clark Metzgar was the lowest
man on the representative ticket, as
great many Republicans cut him and
voted for Morgan.
Atlee Pomerene, for prosecutor, and
Ed j. Meyer, for commissioner, carried
Canton, though it went strong for
other candidates on the Republican
ticket. Following is the totals for
Canton, the precincts being included in
the regular table of the county:
GOVERNOR.

COUNTY BOARD
Received the Returns and Had
Some Assistance In Making
the Figures.

At the county board of election
rooms returns began to come in at
1880 o'clock. The first to arrive were
from Louisville and after that the
city Of Canton began to report. Be-
side the regular members of the county
board Messrs ]. H. Kaufman and
Orlando Rank were kept busy tabulat-
ing the figures. BY 10 o'clock all of
the city of Canton had reported. There
was a constant stream into the rooms
upon the part of eager citizens who
wanted information as to the vote. They
were kept in the anteroom, however,
and the work Of securing the returns
went on without interruption. About
IL o'clock there was lull in the rush
and from that time on returns were
slow in coming. The cities had all made
reports by this time and only the viii
lagos and rural precincts remained
Most of the reports were made by
telephone from out of the town and for
the minority parties these in many in
stances failed to give the figures.

think might as well go home now"
About midnight Mr.. Pomerene left the
rooms and started homeward. There
were other candidates present at the
club rooms and as the reports from the
various precincts were turned in to the
parties making out the tabulated re-
port, they eagerly bent forward and
listened to the respective gains or losses
as they occurred or were read
Messrs Ed Raft, Jackson w. Pontius
and Emmett Leahy handled the reports
as they came in. They also did the
figuring. A reporter approached Mr..
Raff and requested his opinion as set
forth by the returns which had passed
through his hands. He said:
$50 far as / can learn, excepting
eight precincts to be heard from, the
county will go Republican about 1900,
and possibly over that. / should say
that Mr.. Pomerene leads the Democratic
ticket in the county and Ed Meyer
follows him with a good showing. Law
Ter ran pretty well in the county and
kept up with the balance of the crowd.
Jones' vote was something phenominal
1 thing 1t was about 314 in Massillon
alone. In this city Pomerene ran
pretty well and was ahead Of his ticket.
"In Alliance / figure that Nash had
about 791 majority and Summer about
751 Day about 707 majority.
In Massillon I figure Nash's majority
about 1863, Summer 469 and Days about
514. In this city Pomerene had a
majority Of only z; Summer has about
2S majority and Nash about Gil
majority. These are all approximate
figures and do not include eight pre-
cincts. 1 figure Nash's majority In the
county at 1,6OS; Summers 1,159 and
Days at TAI, outside of the eight pre-
cincts."
Messrs J. w. Pontius and Ed S. Raft
left the Jefferson club rooms at 1880
o'clock, conceding to the Republicans
the election of the entire county ticket
with a good sized majority. There
were dozens of men awaiting further
news from other states. in the rooms,
but they dispersed about 1880 o'clock.

TIE TABERNACLE
Was Filled By a Crowd of PeO'
pie Anxious to Hear the
Returns.

The Republican headquarters were
transferred to the Tabernacle last even
ing, and the returns from the election
were received at that place.
The main floor Of the auditorium was
crowded with men, while about half-a-
dozen women were seated near the
entrance.
Chairman U. S. Johnson, Mayor
Robertson and James ]. Grant alter
natively read the returns from the
speakers platform. notwithstanding
the large crowd marked lack Of
enthusiasm was noticeable. Quite a
number of Democracy followers were in
the audience and a Democratic gain re-
ceived almost as hearty applause as a
Republican one.
There was much noise and confusion
and those in the rear of the assemblage
had difficulty in hearing the figures
quoted by the annouacers.
The crowd did not tire and although
numbers left somewhat early in the
evening their places were quickly filled
by others so that a considerable audi
ence was present during the entire
evening.

JEFFERSON CLUB ROOMS
The Mecca to Which Democrats
Turned to Hear the
Results.

There was a large, surging crowd of
men interested in the returns present
at the Democratic headquarters in the
Jefferson Club rooms Tuesday night.
The rooms had been thrown open and
the persons who desired to stand and
listen were admitted. Returns were
read off as they were received by the
committee on the inside of a walled
partition to the crowd in front, and as
the Democratic gains were noted there
was cheering and a wave of good feeling
passed through the crowd, which from
their demeanor was mostly composed of
Democrats.
Chairman John G. Harmony, of the
County Executive committe had been
indisposed during the past two days and
was unable to assist in the work of
receiving and figuring UP returns, be-
ing confined to his home. Other mem
bers of the committee were called upon
to do some OF the work. A special wire
had been strung into the rooms and an
operator took the telegraph returns
from an instrument as they came in.
And as fast as they were received they
were figured up and gains, If any, were
read with the respective number of
votes received by each of the candidates.
A number of the candidates were
present during the earlier part of the
evening in the rooms, but later on they
started away and looked for other
places to ,,arn just how t'pey stood.

COXEY In TOWN.
He Is Out With the Board of
Trade Looking For a
Location.

Jacob S. Coxey, of Massillon, was m
town Wednesday on business connec-
ted with the locating of his new steel
plant. Mr.. Coxey stated to a News
Democrat representative that he was
getting all ready to go to work as soon
as location is secured. He said he eX-
pected to produce all kinds of steel
castings from half a pound in weight to
80 tons. He will make a feature of
government work. He declared the
structural iron work for his shops was
being delivered to him now, 400 tons of
it having been received just recently.
He has purchased machinery and trav-
cling cranes, putting 100000 into this
part of the works. This afternoon he
went out with members OF the Canton
board of trade to look at some sites in
Canton.

COUNTY CONCEDED.
Mr.. Pomerene Acknowledges
Defeat and Mr.. Raft
Gives 1t Up.

A News s-Democrat reporter interro-
gated Mr.. Pomerene in the Jefferson
club rooms about 11;10 o'clock Tuesday
night, and at that time he conceded
Days election by a rather large
majority. II will give 1t up" he said,
"for Day has secured a large majority
in Massillon; / should say about four
or five hundred. 1t appears to me that
have run ahead everywhere in the
county excepting In that town. My vote
run away down there, and mus, con-
cede my defeat. AS to the other part
of the ticket cannot speak. but it
seems to me II is largely Republican.

From Today's Early Edition.


The crowd in the room was an enthusi-
astic one, and there was a general i'm
preston that the Democrats would
carry goodly portion, If not all of the
county ticket. AS to the state ticket,
some Of them were not so sure and
some guessing ensued as to the general
result. From the precincts received and
read off it appeared very much to those
present that Pomerene, Meyer and
Schlafiy would run away ahead of their
ticket.
Mr.. e. ]. Meyer was seen about $3.50
o'clock and he stated that the outlook
to him from tie returns which had
been reported were very encouraging.
There is nothing received so far which
is discouraging to me-" he said. And
then he edged his way through the
crowd to see friend who beckoned to
him from the other side'of the room.
At 1O:30 o'clock the report was circu-
lated that the county would carry at
least four candidates for the Democrats.
Half an hour later it was reported that
there would be large Republican gains,
but the party who read off the returns
from the partition denied that report
stating that there was so far as many
Democratic, If not more gains, than
Republican and that the outlook was
good. Numerous pumors were in circu-
lation as to what gains would be made
in various precincts in the county. In
one of the village precincts, which gave
Pomerene large majority, and indicat-
ed Democratic gain Of AZ out of two
precincts, there was q round Of ap-
plause.

Rendered a Verdict.

Coroner Schuffell rendered a verdict
Wednesday morning respecting the
death Of William III. Gibson, who was
killed last week in the cement works at
Middlebranch. In his verdict he finds
that Gibson came to his death in an ac-
cidental manner by falling into the
wheels of a clay dryer while the ma
chinery was in motion. Gibsons body
was found at the time mentioned in a
machine in which 1t had been terribly
mangled and instantly killed.

consumed.
The two warehouses which were own
ed by Mrs. Harbaugh are a total loss
and contained some stored stuff there,
which will not materially raise the esti-
mate Of the total loss for the greater
portion of it was removed before being
reached by the flames.
The Villagers foresaw the destruction

ever was loose or to be removed. The
mail was first removed carefully to a
safe place and then what other contents
there were also were taken out. The
The building was altogether consumed.
The fire began shortly after l o'clock
and it burned until o'clock, burning
embers being witnessed long after day
light. The village authorities tele-
phoned to Masillon for assistance dur
ing the progress of the fire.
The total loss including the buildings
consumed and the store goods destroy
ed amounts to about $4,000, with nearly
that much insurance.
The buildings which were burned were
all located on Main street, where the
business of the village is mainly done,
and other buildings stood very close.
But the villagers succeeded in prevent
ing the spread Of the flames and the fire
was gotten under control without any
further loss.

The village Of Wilmot, located about
13 miles below Massillon along the line
Of the w. & L. Il. railway, was the scene
of a most destructive fire which ragged
there this wednesday, morning be-
tween the hours Of 1 and 4 O'clock. and
during which six buildings were totally
consumed. The villagers had been re-
ceiving election returns and many of
them were belated in returning to their
homes. A few minutes past 1 o'clock
several Of the villagers discovered
flames emanating from the upper story
Of G. w. Medley's furniture store. An
alarm was at once given and the entire
population was aroused to render what
ever service was of avail. There is no
fire apparatus beyond a force pump in
the possession of that town for the
means of fire protection, but this avail
ed very little when the flames got start
ed. A line Of buckets was established,
but this proved of little assistance. AS
the fire gained in proportions it COM
municated from the furniture store to
the hardware store of H. f. Christman,
adjoining, and then to his residence, and
then followed the destruction Of two
ware houses owned owned by Mrs. Har-
baugh, standing close by, and the post
office building.
The greater portion of the furniture
was removed from the store when the
| flames were discovered issuing there
FROM and only small lot which had
been stored upstairs was destroyed.
There is no knowledge as to just how
the fire started in the upper portion Of
the building and none can be advanced
by the villagers. At the Christman
residence the occupants of the house
were awakened just in the nick of time
to prevent them from being burned to
death, and they escaped into the street,
come of them merely wearing their
night-clothes.
