BRIEF MENTION

full republican ticket. After the ef-
fort made to break II in the state It
is encouraging to the party to find it
self upheld by voters. In Philadel-
phis where a bitter fight was made
to elect Gibbony and defeat Rotan
for District Attorney the latter won
carrying many wards by larger
maiorities than was expected.
The vote on the constitutional
amendments in this county was de
cidedly mixed, most townships on a
hight vote going in favor of them
while Delaware rallied 10 their de-
feat, by a comparatively large major
ity. The vote in the county was
very light and the amendments were
largely neglected.
Although the democrats in Port
Jervis nominated an excellent ticket
the head being Mayor Swartwout
and c. f. Van Inwcgen for Alder
men at large it went down to defeat
last Tuesday. Tho people seemed to
think the republicans had better
one and elected DR.. Knapp Mayor
and joseph johnson Alderman. Put
up the best men on both sides, let the
voters decide and the country lie
pretty sure to be safe.
John Zimmerman of New York
visited here part of the week.
Tammany elected Gaynor Mayor
of New York but lost the rest of the
ticket. This places the board Of esti
mate and apportionment in the
hands of business men and not the
politicians. Extravagance and laz
methods with the city finances may
now be curtailed.
In Pennsylvania the state republi.
can ticket is elected by about $50. 600
majority and in Philadelphia Rotan
wins for District Attorney over Glib
boDy by over 10000.

1t does not look from the election
returns as il the tariff question had
seriously damaged republican pros
poets. The democrats will have to
try some other tack II they wish to
sail their craft into port.

box 3s9. Milford, Pa.
There were nine prohibition votes
cast in the county and one socialist.
In a general way the amendments
received about 100 votes in favor
and about 100 against. Hardly any
two amendments were treated the
same and the votes for and against
varied. The seventh was the worst
hit.
The schedules we're mostly lost
sight of, the voter becoming tired or
wearing out his pencil before he
reached them.
