"April .fool" was not pinned on
republican coat tails this year. Ho
grander victory ever was won at the
polls in Michigan. It was all the
more significant because it was
quiet. Ho fiery speeches, no torchlight processions, no glitter or noise
was indulged in. Some had prophesied
a reaction from last falls overwhelming
vote. It did not come. The country
has settled down into the calm hut resolute mind that to the republican party
must it look for relief. The people are
waiting as patiently as possible for
the timjss when the officers they elected
last fall can.begin the active work of
relief.
Judge Moore's plurality is over 60,
000. Rich's plurality last fall was 100,
000. When it is taken into consideration that the total state vote this
spring is only two-thirds of last fall's
vote, Moore's vote is fully up to last
year's highwater mark, especially
when it is known tbat the efforts in
behalf of Judge McG-ath's re-election
were tremendous.
The great expectation of the -platform builders of the democratic.party,
in writing their silver plank, fell fiat.
There is a strong, growing sentiment
for bi-metallism, but the people are
not ready to trust that party to handle
the question for them, neither do they
believe in a separate party action
through the so-called free-silver party.
This is a time for education; the time
for mature action has not, arriyed.
The people are studying their lesson
now; they will be ready to recite when
the proper time comes.
There has also been a big slump in
the prohibition vote in the state, Here
and there through the state, as in the
case in Clare city, where special meetings were held through the winter
with the ballot box in mind, the gain
is apparent, but the gains have not
kept up with the losses elsewhere.
The contest in Clare city was a
warm one, and consequently a nearly
full vote was polled, bringing up the
percentage in the county. Outside
the city^ which cast nearly one-third
of the vote of the county, the total
vote is only a little over half of last
fall's vote. Hearly hilf the prohibition vote was cast in the city of Clare.
A double-column table of the vote of
the county will be found on another
page and is worth studying.
In the local election, the republicans
learned a valuable lesson, and that is,
that it is better to "go it alone,"
While the democratic gentlemen en
the union ticket are doubtless as good
candidates as any republicans that
might have been placed thereon, it's
against nature to expect a different
result than the one found. They were
democrats and republicans that elected so much of the prohibition ticket
as was successful. Republicans have
a clear majority in the city, and are
growing stronger every year.
We give below the result in every
township and ward in the county. The
Sentinel wishes to express thanks to
those who contributed to make the report complete.
ARTHUR.
Arthur township had only one*
ticket in the field, which of course
went through with practically no opposition. Naturally the single ticket
did not bring out the full vote, only
about 46 being cast as against 57 for
governor last fall. It was a union
ticket as follows, the letter after the
name indicating the politics:
Supervisor, Elias A. Kirvan, d
Clerk, Charles W. Pierson, r
Treas., Henry C. Briggs, r
Highway com., Samuel Leighton, r
Justice, full term, John F.Balsley,r

Bd. rev., David W. Denno, r
Constables, James Lower, r, Lewis Sunday, d
James Allen, d, Antoine Reone, r.
FRANKLIN.    .
The vote was very light, being less
than half the November vote. There
was but one ticket, as follows:
Sup., "William Popple, d

Highway com., Jas. Lover, d

FROST.
There were two tickets in the field,
republican and'union, the former being successful except on clerk, highway commissioner and member of
the board of review. Amos W.Toman,
will be a new man on the board of
supervisor, but is an excellent selection. Quite a number of state ballots were thrown out for lack of the
necessary cross in the  circle at the
head of the ticket.

GRANT.
There were 73 voters on state a-
gainst 128 last fall, that is, 36 r, 15 d,
18 pro., 4 peo., as against 62 r, 36 d, 30
pro., 4 peo.,—nearly an equal falling
off. There were two good township
tickets, W. L. Lyons heading a union
ticket. The republican ticket, however, "was elected entire with majorities ranging from 15 to 27, but averaging about 23.

GREENWOOD.
There were two tickets. The democrats and prohibitionists combined to
down the republicans and succeeded.

for re-election as supervisor, was retired at the poles. *#e served, his con-
stitutents well on the board pi supervisors.

HATTON.
The vote in Hatton township
was but two-thirds of last fall's
vote. There was but one ticket in the
field—a union ticket—and, as was the
case in several other townships, though
the republicans held far the largest
vote of the four'parties, they generously permitted the democrats to hold the
head of the ticket and the most of
the other places. The new supervisor,
D. W. Comer, is fully competent and
will make an excellent supervisor. It
is a good selection.
Sup., D. W. Comer, d

both headed by republicans. Edmund
Bailey, of the union ticket was the
successful candidate.

REDDING.
The single union ticket brought out
only half the usual vote. There was
no opposition, as the ticket was a
good one from top to bottom.. "Mart"
Temple, one of the brightest and most
influential members .of the board of
supervisors, is again returned.

SHERIDAN.
The voters had two very evenly balanced tickets to select from and the
result was a close one, the honors* being about equally divided between the
union and peoples tickets. The former ticket was headed by Wm. Jerred
and the latter by John Hampton, both
excellent men. The vote showed a
tie on supervisor and the drawing of
the lot gave it to Mr. Hampton. Mr.
Hampton has several times served his
town well on the board and is sure to
do so again. He is a republican and
was on the peoples ticket. There was
also a tie between Henry Hanes and
Fred McMaster for highway commissioner. The lot fell to the latter.
Mr. Hanes has been the commissioner
during tne past year and proved himself to be a tip top man for the place.
Mr. McMasters work as path -master
indicates that the work will continue
in good hands.

StTMMERFrELD.
Up in Summerfield, next the Missaukee county line, they do nothing
by halves on state matters, but in
.local affairs .they split up in a friendly
sort of way, and the weaker party
often gets the lion's share; so, Monday, the republican candidate for justice of the supreme court received 19
votes, the democrat candidate 2, and
the people's party 3. On township
there was but one ticket, as follows:
Sup., Fred Van Beuschoten, d
Clerk, Geo. M. Taylor, d

SURREY.
Surrey township had a three cornered flight on; it could hardly be called
a fight either, as the combined force
of democrats, prohibitionists and populists, running on separate tickets,
did not reach up to the shoulder of
the G-. O. P. There was nothing to
draw the vote out very strong, and a
large republican vote from the western
and northern part of the town did
not show itself, not being badly needed on this occasion, but always on hand
at the right time. The prohibition
vote showed a slight gain, but fell far
short of the anticipation of the pro-
hibs. The total vote on state was. 174
against 240 last fall. The prohibition
vote, being almost wholly a village
vote, was out in full force. The republicans were led by that war horse
and hard fighter, L. L. Kelley, supervisor, who got the largest vote, 97,
agsinst 46 for Roys, pro. and George
Graham, free silver. ■ The average vote
was, pro. 43, peo. (free silver, including
democrats) 47, rep. 95.   The following
were elected, all republicans:
Sup. L. L, Kelley
Clerk, E. S. Hinds
Treas., Louis Weisman
Highway com., David McAninch.
Justice, full term, John G. Brown
„        vacaney, Milton G. Stevens
Scbool inspector, Martha Hitchcock
Bd. rev., N. D. Watkins
Constables,  Chancey Breed,   H. F. Finch,
Richard Mead, John Wagner
WINTERFIELD.
In Winterfield thei;e was but one
ticket. Although the republicans
have a nice majority they placed only
three names on the ticket and with
great magnanimity gave the balance
to the prohibitionists except two constables which they meted out to the
democracy. The townships honored
itself by again "electing that union
veteran and staunch republican, John
H. Fleming, as supervisor. The total
vote was about half what it was last
fall, the drop in the democratic vote
from 17 th 5 being far the greatest.

A ninstrument weighing 20 pounds
and used as a cannon by the prohibitionists near Tatman's store Monday
night exploded at the second discharge
the pieces Hying' in every direction.
A five pound chunk went over Schillings store and several buildings and
struck the roof of the building in
which Lee's barber shop is located,
passed through the roof arid ceiling
and landed on a bed. Another struck
near Dunlop^s drug store. A fourth
knocked a hole in the side of Tatman's
store. Other pieces flew elsewhere.
The wonder is no one was hurt.
