The Wickersham campaign on the coast this week, shows the same old tactics as have always been employed by this candidate 1. e. that of blackguardipg the other fellow.
 All the contumely hurled from political platforms is part of the game expected and Wickecsham never diSsapoints us in that. Each time he takes a statement from the opposition, puts his hand down it's throat turns it inside out and stretches it till there is none of the original left, he thinks he gains more votes: but that we cannot tell til, after the election.

THE ELECTION.

Tuesday was q great day for the
Iron county Democracy and the en-.
tire ticket was elected by increased
majori.ies. Many people thought the
race between Hawkins ard F~orshee,
for circuit clerk, would bs a battle
royal, but it wasn't. It was ''dead
easy" for Hawkins. This (Wednes-
day. morning, with SO per cent OF the
vote in, it is safe to say his majority
will be just about 800. Judge Keith,
for representative, and Add Reese,
for presiding judge are both elected
by substantial majorities. s. A. Trask,
the Democratic nominee for Judge of
the western district, has a majority of
about 20. The whole ticket has gone
through WITH colors flying! 1t was a
great and glorious victory. The Of
fetal count will be printed next week,
