THE ELECTIOI I WE COUNTY " i GENERAL EXPRESSION OF SATISFACTION OVER THE RESULT RETURNS VERY SLOW

In Coming in, But it Took All of Them to Determine the Result. The primary flection yesterday was hotly contested in most cases. Some of the candidates ran neck and neck and it was a difficult matter, while the reports were being read at headquarters IO lieieranuu nit nmucio. At one time Parsons led Fisher by one vote, while Mosbaugh Avas only a few ahead. Then ' again Clark Avas behind Beeson only four A'otes, while Ratlift' and Yeneer played hide and peek for a long time and it took the last report to determine avIio was who. ' y?. It Avas nearly 2 o'clock this morning before the first ward brought in its report on the county ticket. But the crowd remained until the last. At S:30 last night the Phillips opera house Avas crowded Avith the friends of the candidates. The best of order prevailed, except a feAv boys who Ave re disorderly in the gallery, cue ivf several of" the contestants. Richmond's Aote came to the resAlbertson led in the country outside of this city, but My rick carried Richmond by a good vote. Clark was defeated in his oavh township and Beeson Avas successful in his. It was a day of surprises and a night of unrest. EAerybody is glad the nomination is over, for it has been a strain for a long time. We can now settle down to the even tenor of oar ways.

"We give the full reports, the county tabulated and the city and toAvnship in a Avay that is easy of comprehension. peopleTchoice A Brief History of the Successful Candidates. Now that the nomination is o"er it is well to say a few words about the men avIio "fought the good fight," that is the successful ones. "We hae nought to say but good of the men who avp re defeated; for they AA-ent into the campaign to Avin. and, because

S' they Ave re defeated, does not mean

that they are msgruntleu. 1 hey are all good and loyal Republicans and will be found in the midst of the battle Avith their sleeves rolled clear above their elbows when the election occurs. James E. Watson Had no opposition in his race for congress. Much has been said of his ability as a member of the lower house and his record as a citizen, and Ave can add nothing here that would 'elevate him in the minds of the people. He is our own "Jim," honest, honorable and upright. Roscoe E. Kirkman Is a citizen of this city, and, in the senatorial race, had no opposition, lie lias been honored by the party at other elections, ha-ing been prosecuting attorney of Wayne county, representative, joint representative and iioav senator. He is worthy of all these honors and a credit to Richmond. ' Richard Elliott, Who was nominated for joint representative is a citizen of Connersville and a lawyer of no mean ability. He is attorney for the C, G. & R. traction line and is blessed with a good laAv practice. That he will be elected goes without saying. Dr. M. W.
