Tuesdays Election.

The election in Sedgwick coun-
ty passed off quietly Tuesday.
The weather was fine and large
vote was pollcd in every precinct
Mckinley and Roosevelt carried
the county by majority of 70.
w. II. Pound ran ahead of his
ticket, receiving majority of
ls5 over his opponent. Pound
also carried every county in the
district, receiving a total major
ity Of about 564 in the five coun-
ties.
Judge Armour received a ma
jority of 10 over Painter in Sedg
wick county, and was elected by
total majority of about 60.
H. II. Sutherland, republican
candidate for representative, was
defeated by W. c. Harris, the
latters majority being about As.
Sutherland carried this county by
majority of 777
John Hiatt, republican, was
elected commissioner over II. w.
Robertson by majority of II.
Returns are slow in reaching
Julesburg, but the indications
now are that Mckinley and
Roosevelt will have about 3OS
votes in the electoral college, or
nearly So more than they re-
quire. 1t has been a great vic
tory for the republicans-the
greatest ever won by any party
in the United States. Detailed
reports from the different states

Notwithstanding the assertions of the
Republicans from that state that they
had carried the state. there was not
much confidence felt in the headquar-

positive and the assurances from Re-
publicanS leaders in that state all
stated that Mckinley had certainly
carried the state anywhere from 5000
to 1000. The Republican leaders will
be greatly disappointed if they fail to
