REPUBLICANS TAKE 1T ALL
Leave Nothing in Sight for the Democrats in
Pottawattamie County
ELECT TICKET FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
Everything IL Absorbed In City and
County by the Ticket of the Grand
Old Party-Eicction Figures
in Detail.

Complete returns from the forty pre-
cincts show that the republican party won
a decided victory In Pottawattamie county;
that the state and legislative tickets were
given good-sized majorities and that the
county ticket was elected from top to bot
tom. While there was slight falling off
in the republican vote as compared with
last year it is gain over that Of 1897,
when Governor Shaw was first elected as
the chief executive of the state. In 1897
Governor Shaw received 4,792 votes in Pot
tawattamie county as against Whites 4,465.
This year the returns show he received
5,247 against Whites 1873. This shows a
gain for the republican party and a loss
for the democrats as compared with 1897.
In 1898 Secretary Of State Dobson, at the
head of the republican party, was given
5000 votes in Pottawattamie as against
4,0S3 given the democratic candidate for
the same office. Thus it will be seen that
the vote this year is both falling off for
the republicans and the democrats as COM
pared with 1898.
While it is believed that the senatorial
contest entered somewhat into the cleo
tion in connection with the legislative ticket
and probably resulted in reducing the repub-
llcan majority somewhat, it did not cut the
figure that it was feared by some it might
and A. S. Hazelton, the republican candi-
date was elected by the safe plurality
of 1888 over the democratic candidate, DR..
j. w. Hemsted So far as the city vote
was concerned Hazelton polled only nine
teen votes less than Governor Shaw.
The republican candidates for representa-
tives, John H. jerks and George M. Put
nam, were likewise elected with good sized
pluralities.
Fl. C. Brandes, candidate for member of
Board of Supervisors, led his ticket, while
Prof o. j. McManus, candidate for cou,
superintendent of schools, fell below the
average vote while his opponent on the
democratic ticket Prof. H. w. Sawyer,
went away head Of his ticket. Prof. Saw
yer was ahead of his ticket both in the
county and city.
The result on sheriff was sore disap-
pointment to the democrats, as they banked
strongly on electing John T. Hazen. So
sure were they of his election that $500
was put up by them at Avoca. The money
was promptly covered by some leading re-
publicans in this city and consequently yes
terday they were $500 richer than before
the election Tuesday. Friends CO Brooks
Reed, and even Reed himself, the demo-
cratic candidate, was sanguine of his elec
tion as county treasurer, but BILLY" Arnd
managed to beat him by just 657 votes.
For governor the prohibition party re-
ceived 1O2 votes, the peoples party, 80; the
socialist labor party, "a, and the United
Christian party, 12
l.. w. Tulleys, the prohibition candidate
for state senator, received 121 votes while
]. E. Bender and II. w. Allen, the prohibi-
ton candidates for representatives, re-
ceived 1O2 and 9S respectively. The pro-
hibition county ticket received on an aver
age 30 votes.
