I»UI Sul Celebrate. The republicans had arranged for a jolilication over their sweeping victories, to take place last night, but upon consideration they decided to give it up as the results were so satisfactory and 60 easily obtained. Therefore outside o^ a few personal vents to feelings. no celebration was indulged in. It was a very wise move on the part of the republican leaders.

Tuesday was election day and all hands were faithfully at work coaching their favorite candidates. Early in tho morning men began to assemble about the po.ls and the work began in earnest. Business generally was a secondary matter. A number of county schools were dismissed and the teachers spent the day hustling politics. The extreme results for the negative was a big surprise. And while it
waB
generally con
ceded that the county would go republican, yet the election of two democrats was looked to as a certainty. Everything went and we are left to note tho change and its effect. We feel that a clever set of men have been elected to fill the various offices and shall hope for a wise and profitable administration. The results from the county as near as can be learned are as follows: l'l.ri£ALlTII-.s.
Owen- 450. Moore -Joint Representative, ."W. McCrea—Representative. 525. Kennedy- Prosecuting Attorney, 501. White -Auditor. 002. .Johnson -Treasurer, 452. Davis—Sheriff, 045. Wyneeoop—Surveyor. Goil. Barcus—Coroner, -1S9. Trout—Commissioner, 199. ••••,- Harding—Commissioner, 402. Ferris—Rep. in Congress, 48,'i. Rankin, Populist, received in the county only 119 votes, and Jackman, Prohibitionist, 122.
The exact number of ballots cast for each candidate of the three parties could not be obtained in time for this issue, but we will give a full account in our next. The returns were not fully settled until S o'clock last evening.
Nkw Vohk, Nov.9.—The Republicans have carried New York State by estimated pluralities ranging from 1150,000 to 150,000. These figures represent the probable plurality of Levi P. Morton, rep. for governor, over David B. Hill, dem.. based upon the vote of New York City and Brooklyn complete and returns from more than one-half of the election districts above the Harlem river.
The total vote for tho two leading candidates is considerably in excess of that polled for Flower and Fassett for governor in 1801, in addition to which is the votes cast this year for Everett P. Wheeler, ind. dem.. which will exceed 20,000. The tremendous Republican sweep in the city and State, it is estimated, has elected twenty-three Republican congressmen, a gain of eight over the present representation in Congress.
Coi.i'Mih.'s, ()., Nov. 9—Ohio has broken her record on Republican pluralities. The largest plurality heretofore was when John Brough. rep., for governor, in 18G3, had 101,000 over Clement L. Vallandingham, dem., the latter being exiled at the time in Canada. I^ast year Governor McKinley carried the State by over 80,000 but no such plurality had been previously known except in the noted Brough Vallandingham can vas. when all tho Ohio soldiers in the fields and hospitals of tho South voted. At that time over 40,000 soldiers outside of the State voted for Brough and less than 1.000 for Vallandingham. During the last twenty years the parties have alternated in carrying the State, the Democrats electing Governor Bishop in 1877, Governor Hoadley in LSS.'i and Governor Campbell in 1880. While the Republicans claim a plurality for Secretary of State Taylor of 125,000 to 130.000, the Democrats concede that the Republicans have made large gains over the McKinley vote of last year and possibly beaten the Brough high-water mark of ISM. On the basis of the State
vote the Republicans claim seventeen of the twenty-one congressmen, the present Ohio delegation in Congress consisting of eleven Democrats and ten Republicans.
Dknvkk, Colo., Nov. 7.—The indications at 8:30 o'clock are that Mclntyre, rep., for governor, will have 1",000 to 20,000 majority over Waite, Populist. The limes-Sun claims the Republican majority in this (Arapahoe) county will be 20,000 and that the remainder of the State will give a Republican majority of .1.000. Waite has run behind his ticket many thousand^. If the Republicans have 20,000 majority on the head of their State ticket they will undoubtedly con trol the legislature and re-elect Senator Wolcott. Pence, Populist, is beaten by Shafroth, rep., for Congress in the First district. Bell. Populist, may defeat Bowen in the Second district, but his majority of 12.000 two years ago will be greatly reduced.
In Denver and suburbs about S5 per cent, of the registered vote was cast. Women worked earnestly at the polls all day for the success of the Republican ticket and the result is largely due to their efforts.

Two hundred and seventy precincts in Indiana give Owens 29,252: Myers dem., 20,490. Th9 same precincts in 1892 gave Harrison 27,220 Cleveland, 22,817. Republican gain, 2,020 Democratic loss, 2.3IS net Republican gain, 4.314.
Three hundred precincts in Indiana give Owens, rep., 32,257 Myers, dem., 23.231 i. The same precincts in 1802 gave Harrison 30.097, Cleveland 25.SS5.
I heW estern Union dispatches at mid night showed that in ](!1 precincts in the State the Republicans had made a gain of 2,90S over tho Cleveland Harrison vote. It was figured that the Democrats were losing

the rate of ten to
the precinct, which would give the State to the Republican party by 30,000. 1 he democratic counties and districts had not been heard from, however, and the only indications from these returns were that the republicans had made heavy gains in their own strongholdsBut few democratic counties had been heard fiomand these showed democratic gains.
Not perhaps within twenty five years have the republicans made such sweeping victories in Indiana as during the elections of this week. They have elected twelve of the thirteen congressmen. Brookshire, the candidate from this district shares in the general defeat. Sullivan being the only county in the district giving him a majority and hois probably snowed under by |from 1,500 to 1,700 votes.
Over a week ago, in our own town, happened a thoroughly tragic duel of words and pantomine which would have made a good subject for sensational novelists. It was as usual, a love affair, and to bo sure there were two suitors after the paw of the fair maid in question. They both met and exchanged some red hot words in the lady's presence, but depart9d each his own way without harm. The maiden is a prominent east end belle and the gentlemen are also well known, one residing here. the other at well out of town anyhow. Some fun may follow ere the decision of the parties as to who is right.

Wednesday evening, at their homo on west College street, Mrs.C. J. Head and mother entertained their lady friends. Choice refreshments were served during the evening and the hostess' acquitted themselves iu a very handsome manner in the way of entertaining. Chrysanthemums were used as favors.
The election is over and everything is again natural. 11 was a lively campaign and much hustling was done from Congressman down to Justice of the Peace.

the
State at midnight indica'e that Connecticut has experienced a great Republican landslide. This city has gone Republican. I igott, the Democratic candidate for Congress, who had a majority of over 3,000 last year, is defeated probably by 1,000 majority by N. D. Sperry. Coffin, the Republican candidate for governor, has about the same majority The town elects two Republican representatives to tho legislature and the senatorial districts elect a Republican.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE NO GO.
So Says Judge Harne., The Fight is' on and is a Lively One. Tuesday morning political matters took a sudden increase in tho way of attractiveness. Some of our ladies were seized with a desire to chase down tho ropo lane, anci cast a ballot in tho interest of tho Women's Christian Temperance Union io whom they had previously pledged themselves

such an
occurrence. And this was a test case. Crawfordsville was not the
only
place
however, where the women tried to vote, but it happened in manv places throughout the state. Miss Mary Snyder approached her precinct voting place which was No. ,, but' retreated upon being challenged. Mesdlj'ncs Dr. Maiy Griffith, Mrs. Dr. Tuc.i'.'r a.id Miss 1 tuogene L»rown succecdc!l in enteriuu No. S. but were politely refused ballots and they also retired to consult their attorney, G. W.Paul, who laid a petitu.v praying for a mandamus to allow Mrs Dr. Mary Griffith to vote. The case was argued in brief at 2 p. m.. bofore Judge Harney, who refused to allow their wishes to go into effect. About a dozen ladies were present and gave smiles of encouragement to their attorney as he lam the facts down to a '•Queen tiiet The proceeding wore very amusing and Mr. Paul and the ladies retired with permission to rile exceptions within thirty days. At precinct No 9. a colored woman named Davis attempted to vote, but shared tho fate of her predecessors. It is only a a question of time until our tnothers, wives and sweethearts can vote. The samo thing started it in Kansas that started it hero and now they aro at it. There is no monkey business about it, The ladies are in earnest and mean to carry their point.
Said a tax payer to a representative of this paper, "I have been thinking for some time what a tine thing it would bo for the city, if tho Monon railroad could bo removed further oast aud huvo the tracks laid alongside of those of tho Vandalia," and thes he went into details, giving us sight of tiio werous benefits it would make for the city. His ideas are to till in the cut where tho tracks are at present aud then turn tho fair-ground into some kind of a park, that thero may be easy anil safe approaches to it, Tho Monoa could havo its depot close to that of the Vandalia and its tracks could turn in on their present course just north of the city. His scheme is a good one and lias no' doubt been thoroughly considered by. every citizen, but then the expense connected with such a move is great. Its cost would bo entirely too high for us, and while such a thing is hardly practicable now we may see tho time when it will be accomplished. His advocation of it was not for any immediate action or even consideration, but merely an exposure of a mighty good thought upon the subject.
While it would benefit the city it would also benefit the railway company inasmuch as they could havo a more level road bed between hero and where the disastrous wreck occurred. This is only what tho man on the corner sees," and is one of tho great changes in Crawfordsville which is sighted for the future when we have donned tho metropolitan attire and hear street cars go bump along our three-mile Main street and through our fifty squares of from six to twelve-story high buildings.
Tin? Holltmintc Wiih Ureiim. One of the striking features of tho Republican jollification parade was tho lion tamer's wagon. A huge chicken eoop was brought into play (or the cage and two stuffed catB played the roll of lions. The tamers were Profs. Mgr. A. Kelly and Francisco Smith. Kelly with stern gaze, sat upon a beautiful axle grease box and held one cat's ears while his colleague flourished a lead pencil in exact imitation of a red hot poker and was in the act of preventing the dead felines from giving Maurry a rude scratch. The picture was perfect in every detail, and was produced from Dennis'work, Down in a Barn Yard or, tho Cat Came Backward." Kelly had on beautiful calico tights with stripes, and closely resembled the oriental prince. IIis pictures, in full costume, will be placed on sale next week, when all who wish can
