notwithstanding Also on Recorder.

The general election of 1902 Is a mat
ter of history and again a republican
ticket has been elected in it's entirety.
From the head of the state ticket down
to the township offices each candidate
of the republican party was chosen,
and not in one instance was there any
danger or the least fear but that the
candidates would win out.
The returns from both rural and city
precincts were slow in coming in Tues
day night, and at midnight there We're
several yet not heard from. This morn
ing others reported, but at noon two,
Liberty and Minerva, were yet to be
heard from.
Chairman Meeker estimates the re-
publican gain In majority in the coun-
ty, from the figures he now mas az
hand, to be between 800 and 400. Ihe
gain in the total vote is still somewhat
| in doubt. as the democrats did not vote
as well as expected. This, of course, Is
an agreeable surprise to republican
managers, for it is always considered
a foregone conclusion that on on
years the democrats cast practically a
| full vote and the republicans are the
| .stay-at- homes" This, however, does
not appear to have been the case this
wear. and the efficient work of Chalr-
man Meeker and his lieutenants has
shown its results.
The republican vote in the city shows
a slight gain and small democratic
loss. The total republican vote, with
the two precincts yet to hear from, was
lilo. as against 1910 last year, re-
publican gain of eighty. The democrats
of the city cast $50 votes for the head
of the ticket this year, against 490 last
year, a loss of ten.
The Effort Against Cousins.
The democratic machines dream this
wear was to cut down the vote OF ROD
ert G. Cousins for congress in Marsnall
| comfy. The managers did not hope to
acquire any support for their candidate,
Anthony C. DAILY, Of this city, in the
other counties of the Fifth district, but
they did make a quiet effort in Marshall
70 make an effective reduction. Claims
were made on the streets Tuesday that
acousfns would feel like 80 cents when
the votes were counted" but, with two
nrecinctsto hear from, Mr.. Cousins'vote
in the county was 2,730, against Mr..
Daly's 1.434, plurality of l,296 for the
republican candidate. The vote was cut
TO the extent that Mr.. Cousins ran 200
behind the head of the ticket. Mr.
| Daly,s lead on the democratic ticket Is
shown by the figures now at hand to De
| 354.
| Also Fought the Recordership.
| The recordership was the only otnei
office of the entire ticket over whlch
! the democrats made any especial light
Miss Evans vote was cut somewhat
altho her plurality over Trotter, demo-
cratic. was 1.13a. Miss Evans received
/ a total of 1921. against Mr.. Trotter
E1.4S2. with McLeIand, the head of the
l.county ticket, for auditor receiving a
| vote of 1881, Miss Evans ran 80 votes
behind her ticket McLeland received
plurality of 1,0Sa over Kunkle, demo-
cratic.
The Judgeship.
The democrats made no effort to wiz
| in the judicial contest, and Judges q
| w. Burnham and Obed Caswell re-
ceived handsome maiorities over j. j
Mosnat and G. III. Bradshaw.
| The vote, with the two precincts yet to
come. on the head of the state ticket
and for the congressional candidates is
