RACINE COLLEGE WINS.
Defeats the Kenosha Foot Ball Players by
a Score of % to Tuesday.

Racine College certainly has no
reason to fear foot ball teams from
Kenosha for Tuesday they took fall
out of picked nine from this city by
a score of % to 0.
Several weeks ago the Kenosha High
school team went to Racine and man
aged to hold down the boys to six
points, but the defeat was CALLING and
the Kenosha foot ba1lists thirsted for
revenge and so a heavy team was or
gained and sent to the Belle City to
wa11op the college boys. But it was a
case of Greek meeting Greek, for when
the Kenosha boys arrived they found
that the college boys had grown some
and the team which they were forced
to play was a formidable one. The
Kenosha boys made splendid fight
for amateurs, but they were completely
outc1assed by the Racine players, who
scored at will. The game was played
on the college campus and was wit
messed by a great crowd of people.

The battle of the ballots is over in
Kenosha county and the result has
beeu published to the world and it
shows that the Republicans Of the city
and county made a clean sweep and
did their part to make a glorious VIC
tory for the Republican national
ticket.
While the full and authentic reports
from the different parts Of the county
have not been received, the open semi
authentic reports show that every man
on the Republican county ticket has
been elected, by majOrities ranging
from six hundred to eleven hundred.
Tn +he county it was a republican
landslide. From the remotest corner
of the town of Randall to the Lake
shore there seems to have been d
veritab1e stampede to the Repn Ol1can
candidates. The vote polled IN the
towns and in the different wards was
a record-breaker aud the strange part
of # IS that most of them seem to
have voted for Mckinley and the Ike
n1b1ican ticket. There were large
number of straight ballots ana on THIS
account the early returns showed that
the Republicans had carried ootn the
state. county and the city. Bohmr1ch IS
vote did not cut a great figure IN the
election and civic pride seemed to
cut very little in the final result. AS
was predicted by the republicans
Tuesday the county and city alike
oave vote for Mckinley and La
Toilette. but the majority on the head
of the ticket was a little larger than
the plurality for Mr.. Bohmr1ch. The
reports for the different towns IN the
county show that the Republicans
made large gains everywhere out local
question cut the ballots considerable
and there was a great deal OF scratch
ing. In the city every ward except the
seventh and eighth gave Mckinney
and LaFol1ette majorities and IN these
Democratic strongholds the Ike 'uol1-
cans made large gains.
The complete returns and the nguI-
ino- of the majorities show how hard
the Democrats fought to elect at least
a portion of their county ticket.
The big fight was made to secure the
election of Dalton for sheriff. Almost
everywhere the Democrats were trad
inc anything for Dalton votes, but
they did not secure votes enough as
the returns give Whitcher majority
of 548.
AS was expected John B. Maloney
1a,de the ticket in the county, having
defeated ,Stemn by 1148 votes. Will
now was second with majority OF
1856. and 1Congressman Cooper was
third with1O38 to the good.
All the other candidates on the ticket
were elected by large maiorities as
piven in another column.
CITY OF KENOSHA.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1900-11-08

Even the sixth ward sent a good Re-
publican najority to help the cause
along.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1900-11-08

The victory of Mckinley, Roosevelt,
La Toilette and the entire Republican
county ticket, was a popular one in
Kenosha and the Republicans certainly
received the news with great pleasure.
The first hints of the Republican
landslide were received from the NEWS
bulletins at the Republican headquar-
ters as the working men were going
home to supper and they were so graft
flying that the men hurried back to
hear the first returns of the great vic
tory. From the very first it was evil
dent that there had been a greater vic
tory than any one anticipated and as
the returns came in from the different
states hundreds of men cheered the
result.
Before eight O'Clock the Republican
ranks were parading the streets shout
ing the slogans of their party and
eagles and roosters sprang from no
one knows where, and mounted to the
crowns of the Republican hats.
Simmons Hall and the Republican
headquarters, where the Republicans
received the returns, were thronged
with people and the noise they made
was something tremendous. AS the
returns came in and the enorn1ity Of
the victory became apparent, the Re-
pubhcans became noisier. Every
bulletin brought hearty cheers and the
more there was received the more
there was to cheer for.
The Democratic headquarters we're
all gloom. Early in the evening they
closed their rooms over the Merchants
Bank and gave up the fight. They
retired in disorder to their homes; but
few remained behind and assisted the
Republicans to celebrate. When the
news from other states assured a Re-
publican landslide the Democrats be-
gan to look to the city and county for
consolation, but no consolation came.
Every report from the city showed
that the Republicans had turned out in
force and that their Democratic neigh
bors and friends had voted with them.
The first ward received was the
Sixth, which gave Mckinley a major
ity of forty on the straight ticket, and
this started the Republicans cheering
again. At midnight the Republicans,
like the Democrats, gave up the watch
and went home with the assurance
that everything in Kenosha county as
well as in the country had gone Re-
publican.
Lots of money was bet last night
after the returns started to come in
and the Democrats died game, but
they died hard, and this morning
many of them are missing large sums
of money. Not a bet was offered by
the Democrats which was not eagerly
seized by the Republicans, and they
were offering impossible odds on al
most everything.
The Republicans will further ce1e-
brate the victory Thursday evening
with formal Publication, of which
the following will be the program:
The line of march for the Repub1i-
