The Township Elections.

THE RESULT IN JASPER COUNTY IS HOOD ENOUGH. The township elections last Monda}' resulted in the election of eight ! Republican Trustees and five Demi oeratie. Jordan and WheatSeld, | whicli had Republican Trustees, have I been lost, while Newton has been J gained for the Republicans. In Marion township there was a light vote, at least 70 voters staying at home, most of them sowing oats. Four fifths of these were Republicans. There was some scratching, as usual in township elections, at least on - Republican tickets,-where the scratching always is. In general the ticket got about the full -party vote, howj ever, less the stay-at-homes, except James C. Morgan, Republican candidate for Justice, who was scratched out of all resemblance to a human candidate. And right here, we will say that if all the Republicans in Marion township who voted against Mr. Morgan last Monday, had turned out and voted against him at the primaries they could have defeated him then, and no injury done to the party, but having, by their own neglect, allowed his name to be placed on the ticket, as the regular Republican candidate, they ought to have stood by him. The majority of William Greenfield, for Trustee, over F. M. Parker, was 96; for Assessor, Porter’s majority over G’rockett was 196, Por - ter running way ahead of the ticke t. Burnham and Churchill for Justices , got the full party vote, and a little more for Burnham. Ilealy, the democratic candidate for justice, was elected by a majority over Morgan , of 141. The Republican candidate s for constables got all there was in sight

The Prohibition vote of the town - ship was five, a falling off of eleven, since 1888. At that rite there will be about this much left of them next fall:—0. THE OUT TOWNSHIPS.
