QjREFUBLICAN DAY1
Monday's Election was a Decided
Setback to Democracy.
h6t local, nor state, but national.
C-W-tr,
A   Glean  Sweep  in    Clare-The
Same Thing Happened all over
the State-Other States Tell the
Same  Story--D. E.   Alward   is
Mayor.
We don't display a rooster at the
head of this column. It isn't needed.
In fact it is not Mnd to remind the
many democrats of the fowls they
wor6 on their hats, not many moons
agoy for they have repented of the delusion that seized them then, and turned
in with a will, Monday, and gave ample proof of the sincerity of their conversion.
It was not a surprise. Every body
saw it was coming. It is precisely
•What all'republican and many democratic papers had prophesied. Don't
let,the idea possess anyone for a single
moment i that Monday's .result was
simply the effect of loeal conditions.
It-is. not sufficient to say that the
local democratic fight caused it. How
ahout the similarity of the- result in
nearly every city, in the state? Does
some one whisper, ."Refereesystem?".
__To, that wasn't it, though the oppor-
;£__•>__.- tuni^_:'was taken to give the thing a
^^blxJw oyer the heart. How about Ohio?
and Rhode! Island? and a lot more?
They had no referees. -tiF-o, the people
don't like*the "times" nor the administration and' party that produced
them.' Everywhere that the people
got a chance this week, they recorded
themselves agaihst Cleveland ism.
The local fight was interesting. The
following appeared in Tuesday's De-
'fWit papers as coming from Glare::
| "Postmaster-General Bissell, Washington: Clare democrats send you
greeting; Our city, reliably democratic usually, goes, overwhelmingly
republican today. Ypur man Maynard's nominees i buried out of sight
and'the only democrat in whole city
elected is James, S. Boyd, the earnest
and active supported of Eaton's appointment as postmaster. Clar.e democracy repudiates leadership of May-
nard-Muscott stripe and emphatically-
repudiates the power that spurned
them." .
* "Now'/ the telgram is partly right and
partly wrong.' The "overwhelmingly"
-iscorrect'toadot. The statement" as
"ttf^he candidates being Maynard's is
false.. The implication thftt the same-
candidates would have been elected
had they been Eaton's is ]ust as far
wrong.'; Boyd would have gone down
with the rest had -he been on the city
ticket. " The fact that he was elected
supervisor was merely a ward af.air—
aside fight. Harris' narrow margin
resulted from false stories started re-
garding him, as we stated last week.
It isn't worth while to enter into details as to the nature oC the local democratic fight and the part it -played in
the election. It is. a nasty mess. Eaton's, article in last week's Democrat-
Press throwing cold water on the*
regular democratic nominees and
charging them with being Maynard's
nominees did more to poll a big vote
for them than any thing he could have
said in- their favor. .The fact is Maynard and his friends-* voted against
most of those same candidates in the
caucus,but when they were repudiated
by our esteemed contemporary and his
backers and shouldered off upon the
otheri faction, the other faction saw
that the defeat of the ticket would be
taken as a verdict against them and so
theyturned in horse, foot anddragoons,
to elept a ticket they were not responsible for, though for the most part a
good one.        ' *   ■
-. All-day Sunday and Monday they
labored with a zeal, "worthy a better
cause. Butit was not. a democratic
day. Had they worked with the same
effort with the countryprosperous they
could not have failed. To them is due
the fact that the ticket was not
buried deeper than it was.
So the day ended. .   ..
When the votes were counted and
the result announced a big crowd, headed by \the band, paraded the streets
with- enthusiastic 'demonstrations.
The several successful candidates were
serenaded in turn and it was a late
hour before the crowd dispersed. The
-demonstrations were especially pronounced when the crowd surrounded
Mayor Alward... home. After setting
off enough fire-works for an ordinary
Fourth of July,, in -response' to repeated calls. Mayor Alward came out upon
the yerandah and made a short speech
in hi&: usual i^eady manner* .* He said,
in siiDStance,; that he had ibeen compelled at the close of the campaign ol
X892r,.to listen tomusib which failed to
cheer him as did the music of the band
and the cheers of the enthusiastic people tonight. Then, those who celebrated were rejoicing over the prospect of "four more years of Grover,"
but he ventured the assertion tkat
now, after the lapse of only sixteen
months, everyone, except perhaps jbhe
Immediate beneficiaries of the Cleveland administration, experienced |far
more pain than pleasure when they
contemplate the fact of three more
years of the present awful condition
of national affairs. Mayor Alw;ard
went on to remind his hearers that
the battle today, however, was not-
fought wholly on national lines; that
we must not forget that many good
democrats had manfully stood witlli us
and contributed to the victory ij.ch-
ieved. To them, as well as" to the grand
army of republicans, he expressed \ his
grateful thanks and promised to; do
his best, in the office for which he was
chosen, to meet the highest expejeta-
tions of the people. !
In looking over the results throughout this county, it is noticeable ihat
in fully half the townships only .' one
ticket was nominated. This is probably due to the fact that, there bising
only local officers to elect, the best
men of all parties were named. I A
county or state ticket is necessary to
bring out the full vote on party lines.
19 ballots were thrown out as not properly marked. On these rejected ballots Eriizell had 17 votes and Acre 15,
so that both would have been- elected
had the ballots been properly marked.
