•Almost a  Complete Overthrow of the Republican
Party Throughout the
United States.—McKinley Defeated.
Clare County Democratic.
RErUBUCAN   MUSIC,
triets wrested, witb tbe help of tbe Farmers' AlliancCjfrom the common enemy;
Missouri, instead of returning four republican congressmen makes her delegation unanimously democratic; and South
Carolina rebukes the infamous partisanship which unseated Elliot by returning
bim with a majority that not even tom-
reedism can overthrow or dispute. Pennsylvania sharply repudiated Malt Quay,
and elected an honest democratic governor by 10,000 plurality. Wisconsin has
also fallen into line with a handsome
democratic majority, electing governor
aiul the state legislature, There are itteo
some signifieent individual defeats.
Cannon, "the man with the dirty
mouth" bein?fired by his constituent?,
and MeKinloy, thc "Napoleon of Protection," and the author of tho high tariff
bill, being elected to stay at home.
The fight in Clare county was very
stubbornly contested. Tlio republicans
concentrated tlieir united efforts upon
Mabie for sheriff, Cummins for prosecuting attorney and Goodman for treasurer
and determined to pull them through if
there was any possible chance. Goodman seemed to be thft favored one and in
this township it appeared as though Uiey
did especial work in his behalf. But he
made immense gains in every town. No
one can apparently account for his remarkable run in this campaign and
ability to capture thc tide of democratic
votes, taking into consideration the fact
that his opponent is a gentleman in
every sense ot tbe word and equally
eflioient to ..itend to the duties. 'Tis
true Goodman i.s exceedingly popular
throughout the comity and is the hardest
man to haye beaten in the race for that
position. Uo worked extremely bard to
obtain the result; canvassed eyerv locality in the county aud spent uo little time
and money. Goodman realized tlnr he
had no small task on his hands if he succeeded in defeating hi.s opponent, and it is
safeto say tbat be himself is not a little
surprised .over tin* remarkable victory.
It, was democratic votes UitU elected
Goodman, and no one could stop the tide.
It reflects no discredit to Gordon, but
simply shows thut no man could liave
been nominated that eould liave. wrested'
the treasurship from his opponent. With
the exception of .Mr. Gordon the entire
democratic ticket of Clare county was
elected by handsome majorities, and thc
oificer? eje^t for the ensuing two years
are as follows;
Sheriff—Arthur E. Doty*.
Clerk—John II. Kichmond.
Treasurer—William A. Goodman.

Never fn the history of this county
Hid its inhabitants watch more eagerly
for election returns than thev have since
last Tuesday night, and when nt last
they began to come in,ncver was more glad
tidings received by tho democrats and
never was more bittel' news listened to
by republicans. Every hour and return
added to the majorities rolled up by the
democrats. It was indeed a. surprise
party, not only in Michigan, but in most
of the states of tlie union. That every
candidate on the democratic state, ticket
in Jiichigaii is elected, is now settled
without a shadow of a doubt and it is
now only a question of majority. The
returns nre not yet all in, but the latest
figures received up to the hour of going
to press eives Wiiiaus n plurality over
Turner of 12.049.
The returns show that the democrats
bave gained control of both branches of
the Michigan legislature, besides having
elected six. and possibly nine out of
eleven United States Congressmen.

Tuesday was truly a great day of democratic victory. The banner of the g. 0.
p.is trailing in the dust and being trampled upon by its former friends. The
news from the rest of the county is simply glorious. The democrats will have
a majority in the next house of congress
of about one hundred. Tbe capture of
the governorship in Massachusetts is a
large and brilliant feather in the democratic cap; and tlie gain of two congressmen in the same, stato adds materially to
the success of the entertainment as a
democratic exhibition. New Hampshire, Connecticut and Bhode Island follow Suit with again of one each, and
other districts still to hear from. Ohio
swells the column with a gain of eight;
Kansas sends glad tidings of  five  dis
Hurrah:   Hurrah!   Ilurrnh!

Tuesday was n domocratic day, and no
mistake.
Thc people of thc country haye decided
that the tariff is a tax.
The prohibitionists polled 13S votes in
Cltue county with two towns yet to hear
from,
The latest returns place Woudook's majority ovor Humphrey In the tenth congressional district at 2210.
Mr. Marsh is probably elected to tbe
legislature from this district over Balis-
bury by a small majority.
It is "reported upon good authority that
the entire democratic ticket, excepting
treasurer, is elected in Isabella county.
The Demockat-Piucss congratulates
the democracy of Clare county upon tlie
magnificent results of Tuesday's election.
Thc republicans will now undoubtedly
admit that the McKinley bill raises nearly
eyerything—eren to democratic majorities.
The booth system of voting certainly
contributes to the honesty of elections,
as was shown by the result in tin's state,
Tuesday.
Watts Humphrey's gigantic tin plate
industry in the tenth district is ruined.
Poor Watts probably does not now relish
steel rails.
The voters of Michigan have decided
that the Free Press was not "slinging
mud" when it published the MeEiroy
charges against Turner.
It Was an exceedingly light vote polled
in Clare county this year. Tlie total
vote is only about 1500 this year, against
upwards of 1800 two years ago.
According to a canvas mado by the republicans there were 13 republicans in
Grant township who failed to vote on
Tuesday, and upwards of GO democrats.
The republicans console themselves
with thc remark, "We Will see you in two
years."   We don't see how, as democrat 1
CJare county is greatly honored by the
results of Tuesday's election—which
places one of her prominent citizens,
George W. Stone, in charge of one of the
mnrt important oilier.* in tbe State. He
will make a careful and competent attdi-
tor-gojier?.l.
There is (jnite a change of political
sentiment in Grant township alone.
Heretofore the republicans liave always
rolled up majorities for their candidates
ranging from 40 to 75, while this fail the
democrats had about GO more votes than.
tbey.   The fact is suggestive.
Local republicans should not bear so
much ill-feeling toward their democratic
opponents. Tbey haye had the laugh on
their side for a good many years, and
were not hear so modest in their jollifications as we now are. We realize that
tbe shoe pinches very tightly, but not
near as hard as the, McKinley bill did tho
poor laboring man.
There  are   several   new    industries
sprung into prominence in  tbis   yillagp.-
since the repudiation of the  McKMBy
bill.   Among those that might be   mentioned is Ed. Miller's feed mill   on   east
4th street, and the large addition that  is
being built onto Jobn  Korlson's turning
mill and furniture factory at the foot of
5th street.   The machinery av tile- pail i
and tub factory seems  to  be running*"
more smoothly since Tuesday.
Two brothers, one a prominent merchant and tbe other a well known attorney,
stood upon the corner of Main ancl 4tli-
streets in this village on Wednesday,,
thc morning after election, engaged in.
earnest conversation. The countenance
of ono (the former) was radiant and
hopeful, as though he had heard of news
that gave him the most profound delight*
The other appeared crestfallen, downhearted aud very greatly disappointed
and was endeavoring to explain matters
for mind's ease. This picture from teaL
life attracted attention from people on*
the opposite side of the street and   was
