Exercised Their Right

Belovv is given tlie full table of the vote as cast for city and state officers n tliis city. The first mentioned in a each instance are republicans, the next silver demoerats, and in case of he state officers tlie tbird mentioned Are gold demoerats, and the fourth prolibitionists. In the city officers Messrs. Hiscock and Mills had no opposition 'rorn the demoerats, so the second mentioned in those instances are prohibitionists. There.is something queer about votes, after all, and it is often the unexpected ;hat happens. Take supreme judge 'or instance. Judge Long, republican, received in the city 767 plurality over Yaple, hut add to bis vote the 490 received by Foote, the gold deniocrat and bis plurality is only 277. Mr. Lister, for county commissioner of schools receives 752 plurality in this city, the enormous plurality coming no doubt, largely from many silver democrats making a mistake and voting the gold democratie ticket. In Mr. Lister's case, however, there is sort of poetic justice in the outcome. His opponent, at the last end of the campaign sprung a lot of letters upon the public that were given as recommends for positions with school boards, and attempted to deceiye the public into thinking that Mr. Wedemeyer, chairman of the republican county committee, and other republicans, were recommending him for the office of commissioner. against their own candidate. That was net right. It was wrong, and it changed the opinión of many people here in this city as to Mr. DeWitt. He lost not only votes, but the good opinión of many people by the subterfuge. Oonsequently Mr. Lister's election, by such an overwhelming plurality, (over 2,500 in the county) is received with more than the usuiil rejoicing by his friends. REGENTS. ■o a 1-" fl ú . .

J. Broun, who as a gold democrat was induced to go upou the ticket by the republicans, with the idea oL bringing all the gold demócrata into line for that ticket, thus adding soine 250 or 300 votes thereto. This would have worked all right, and Mr. Brown, and the entire republican city ticket would have been elected by handsome majorities had the democrats put up a full ticket. But they saw the point and were slirewd enough to give the republicans two officera and thus save two for themselves, which there would have been no hope of securing in a fair up and up iigbt. By the same dodge they hoped to secure sufficient apathy among republicans to eleèt a niajority of tlieir caudidates for aldermen in the various wards, but were successtul in only one ward iu tbat scheine. It is hinted that not all the silver deinocrats who voted the gold democratie ticket did it by mistake. Some of theui wanted to kick their party some way for not being courageous enough to put up a f uil ticket, and took that way of doing it. Ia Chicago, Carter H. Harrison, (the son of his father), was elected mayor by the democrats, by an overvvhelming majority. This was by reason of bitter dissensions among the republicana. Ín Detroit Maybury is elected on the democratie ticket over Stewart, republican, Pingree's candidato for mayor. In the state the republicans have been victorious by upwards of 50,000 plurality. Returns l'rom the towns indícate that the republican state ticket will have over 1,500 plurality in this county, which places Washtenaw in the solid republican ranks. The board of supervisors in this county will remain one democratie, as usual, the gains made by republicans being offset by losses. Mr. Watkins, of Manchester, was defeated for re-election by tbat old war-horse, Wm. Burtless, and the republicans elected most of their ticket in that township. Disaster comes quickly ; recovery from it is slow and tedious. So with the business of the country. Depression quickly followed the election of Cleveland and the passage of the Wilson bill. The country speedily feit the evil influences. Recovery, even under the wise administration whieh President McKinley is confidently expected to give, will apparently be slow and hard to effect.
