THE RESULT IN IOWA
Gov. Cummins WillEqual His Great
Record Of 1901.

Des Moines, Nov. 4. Returns up to
noon today from all parts of the
state maintain Governor Cummins
majority at from 10000 to $4,000.
His plurality over Sullivan will be
over $4,000, equaling the great rec
ord made two years ago. The DEM
ccratic state central committee con.
cede Cummins' election by $4,000.
Notwithstanding the light vote and
the lack Of interest due TO The abb
sence Of definite issues in the cam
paign, and notwithstanding the well
organized condition Of the democrats,
Governor Cummlns approached with
a considerable degree of nearness
his plurality OF two years ago, when
he received plurality Of 83,119,
against disorganized party and in
campaign Of intense partisan interest
on the part of the republicans.

cratic column are doubtful and may

Returns Are Peculiar.
The returns show most peculiar
condition of things. Remarkable re-
publican gains were made In some
quarters, while equally remarkable
losses were sustained in others, with
out any apparent causes The hot
factional fights fnat have waged in
the various parts of the state do not
seem to have affected the plurality
for, the head of the ticket. The cause
of the falling off seems to have been
apathy on the part of republicans
and their failure in many cases to
register.

member of the official bord Of the
church all these years, and has al
ways been very jealous member of
the congregation. His familiar face
was always seen in church when he
was able to be there at preaching
services. He had been a great suf-
ferer for the last year and his chill
dren and kind neighbors had given
him the best of care, with the aid of
good physicians, but all failed to pro-
long his days. He passed quietly
to his reward at 1890 p. m, Oct. 25.
His funeral was held at the Chris
tian church in Rose Hill, conducted
by Rev. j. P. Mcknight, of the Stone
Chapel, Oskaloosa, and was attended
by a large crowd of sorrowing
friends and neighbors. Father Row.

VALENTINE WINS OUT.
Defeats Cricket for Sheriff After
a Stubborn Fight.

The election results in Mahaska
county give a complete republi-
can victory for the ticket. The most
notable fight of the campaign, and
one of the sharpest ever waged in
the county, was that for sheriff be-
tween the present incumbent, VIM.
Cricket, and the sheriff-elect, Ed
Valentine. For three successive
times Mr.. Cricket ran from GOO to a
thousand ahead of his ticket, and for
the past four years has been the only
democratic office holder in Mahaska
county. His party realized he was
the strongest man GAey had and re-
nominated him by acclamation for
the fourth time. They then concen-
trated all their energies to elect
him, and Mr.. Valentine, the republi-
can candidate, was confronted with
very formidable opposition, and an
adverse majority of over 400 to over
come. The battle was a strenuous
one, but Mr.. Valentine won with a.
majority of about sixty.
Next to the fight on sheriff the one
for representative was the most keen.
All the gatling guns and land batter
les and torpedoes of the democratic
party were centered OH Mr.. A. f, N.
Hambleton, the republican candidate.
Facts were distorted, twisted and
abandoned by the organs of the oppo-
sition, and every conceivable method
pursued to win votes away from him.
His opponent was John Whitmore,
an old time and we'll known resilient
OF the county, and man who by his
years and wide acquaintance could
command patronage. Mr. Hamble-
ton, however, won out with a major
lty of about 100.
A resume Of the figures of the vote
in Mahaska county,-which are given
i'm detail elsewhere, shows the fol-
lowing results:
