Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 June 1894 — THE OREGON ELECTION. [ARTICLE]

THE OREGON ELECTION.

The Republicans Carry the State by More Than 15,000 Plurality. A Portland, Ore., dispatch June 5, says: Yesterday’s election in this State resulted in a great victory for the Republicans. Judge Lord, Republican candidate for Governor, is elected by not less than 15,C03 plurality. The counting is slow, and in this city the count will not be completed before Wednesday night. At an early hour this morning only 1,003 votes out of 16,030 in this city had been counted. Of these Lord received 538; Galloway (Democrat) 260, and Pierce (Populist) 202. If this ratio is maintained Lord’s plurality in this city will be 4,502. For Congress, in this city, Ellis (Republican) has 514; Riley (Democrat) 206, and Waldrop (Populist) 180. For mayor Frank (Republican) has "505, “In man (Dem6c®“an3""F6puTTst) 394, and Honemann (Independent) 96. The entire Republican Legislative ticket in this county is elected, and from meager returns outside the city it is believed the Republicans will control all branches of the Legislature. Owing to the flood this city is entirely cut off from eastern Oregon, and not a word of news has been received from more than one-half the State. The vote for Ellis (Republican) for Congress in the Second district, is slightly below that of the Governor, but his plurality will not be short of 2,003. Herthann (Republican) for Congress in the First distnet. will have at least 1.500 plurality. George P. Frank is elected mayor of this city by at least 1,003 majority.
