A democratie senator will probabl succeed Senator Mark Hanna, o Ohio. McKinley's own home, Cantón, re versed its vote of last year, and wen democratie this spring. Chicago gave McKinley 54,000 plur ality. The democrats have just swep it by 75,000, the largest plurality in it history. Supervisor Lighthall, of Chelsea was re-elected in spite of the jubilan predictions of his downfall, indulged in by his political opponents. The Dingley bill showed its great popularity at the elections this spring. In f act it is al most as popular as the MeKinley bill was in 1890. In Chicago its supporters failed to poll only about a fifth of the vote cast. That was a great democratie victory in Chicago Tuesday by whieh Carter Harrison was elected by a plurality of over 75,000, the republican candidate being third in the race with much less than half as many votes as Hanison had. The republicans were after Super visor Davenport's scalp in earnest this year, but he fooled them all and was reiurned by an increased majority. The people of York believe in keeping a good man when they have him. The democrats were generally successful in the local elections throughout Michigan, Monday. They also won out at such elections in Minne sota, Ohio, Illinois and Missouri The democracy is a pretty lively corpse isn't it Y Cincinnati went republican by 20,000 last f all. It elected a democratie mayor by 7,000 Monday. Thisisagain of 27,000 in a few months and tells how greatly the people appreciate the prosperity which the republicans have brought to the country. Luick and üuffy proved to be greal winners in the city election, and won bands down. Supervisor Miner also made a great run on the democratie ticket, the republican majority in the first ward on the state ticket being 94 over the two wings of the demoeracy put together. Let us hope that tbis is the last time the democratie party will travel undei the name of the Democratic-PeoplesUnion Silver. The good old name democratie is good enough for us. The hyphenated name lost us 40,000 votes in the state through mistakes. No better selection for minister to Turkey than Dr. Angelí could be made. He is one oí the foremost diplomáis of the country, justthe kind of a man who is needed at the present time in Turkey. But the university could ill afford to lose his guiding hand even for two or three years. Mayor elect Maybury, of Detroit, is one of the most popular winners in the democratie party. In the old days, before he drew out of politics, he used to be elected to congress by such majorities as 7,000, It is a good sign that such strong, clean handed men as Maybury come back to politics. Monday marked the bezinning of the end of Pingree's power in Detroit. His finely geared machinery has been broken probably beyond repair, and the whole force of the Detroit city offices and city employees can be no Jonger used for caucuses and at the polls by the governor. Gold democrats who obtained oflice in the closing days of the Cleveland administration, are not to be allowed to hang on to a full four years. The successor to the gold democratie postmaster ol Springfield, 111., has been appointed, although Senator Talmer, the candidate of the gold wing of the democracy, plead that his Springfield friend be allowed to stay, as the only favor he would ask of the administration. The Argus invites a comparison of its election returns from this county ■with those published by any other paper. Great pains are always taken by the Arccus to give f uil and complete returns from every township in Washtenaw, so that it has become a common saying for the politiciaus, republicans as well as dcmocrats, that you must look to the Argus for election returns. Not only are they complete but they are correct. Heace we iuvite comparison again this year.
