^Virginia Republican.
ill
Mrs. Will Goodman is dangerously
with typhoid fever.
Alonzo Johnson of Eaton county, has
been visiting his brother, J. A., in clare
this week.
The republicans have elected
Farmer Luce and the entire state
ticket by from 6,000 to 10,000 majority and have gained two. Congressmen, Allen in the Second and Brewer in the Sixth. Fisher is, reelected
in this district by a plurality about
half as large as he received two
years ago. The state legislature' is
overwhelmingly republican in both
branches, thus insuring the1 election
of a republican to succeed .IP. S. Senator Conger. Michigan republicans
have done nobly and so have the
republicans  all  over the country.
TN OTHER STATES.
Republican gains are very general.
Free trade theories seemed to have
received several   black   eyes.   Even
Speaker Carlisle of Kentucky is probably defeated and also- "Horizontal
Bill" Morrison of Illinois.   In, the
Toledo district  Frank'-Htird,' rank
free trader democrat is again heavily
defeated    by    Romeis,   republican.
The republicans and the labor vote
have carried Chicago and the county.
Yesterday's Evening   Newa  says:
It is now highly probable- that the
democrats, in addition to their otl-ier
disasters, have   lost  control   of .the
house of representatives,   and   that
when the next congress meets President Cleveland will find himself confronted with a republican   house  as
well as1 a republican senate. -. The re-<
publican,gains in the   house! 'are  as
follows:   California 1, Illinois 5,  Indiana 3, Iowo 1. Kentucky 2, Massachusetts 4, Missouri   2,   Michigan 2,
New York 2, New Jersey  1,  North
Carolina 2, Ohia 5, Virgina  5,   West
Virginia 1;  total,  35,   Against this
there are democratic gains as fellows:
Connecticut 1, Colorado 1, South Carolina 1,   Minnesota  3,   Nebraska 1,
Pennsylvania 1. Tennessee 1; total, 9.
This leaves a net train ofthe republicans of 26, which wipes out the present democratic majority   of 43  and
gives a small   republican   majority.
This, too, without counting Carlisle's
defeat in Kentucky or Springer's  in
Illinois, both   of   which   are .highly
probable.
«     CLARE COUNTY.
Fusion   by   Reduced   Majorities-
County Ticket Mixed.
Nino towns in Clare county gave Luce
a majority of about 80, which is overcome hmwever in the other towns where
base fraaids were perpetrated in the interests of local democratic candidates and
Fisher. Thomas H. Lavery, republican,
is elected sheriff by five plurality over
Doty, aad 21 over Graham, independent.
Should the votes of Hayes, Frost and
Hamilton be thrown out, Graham will
succeed himself as sheriff. Democrats
are encouraging themselves with the
hope that the vote on sheriff is a tie between L-avery and Doty, a state of things
-which they think they know from former experience how to make come out all
right in the end. W. E. Aldrich is reelected Clerk and Register of Deeds and
T. W. Averill will continue for two
years more to handle the people's money.
W. A. Burritt is reelected Prosecuting
Attorney. Asa M. Tinker, republican,
had no opposition for Circuit Court
Commissioner. The rest of the fusion
county ticket is elected. About 50 prohibition votes were cast in the county.
