GRAND RAPIDS, MINN. COUNTY TICKET SPLIT Sherifi Toole Re-Elected by a Small Majority Over Fraser. AUDITOR KING BEATS LACROIX Kremer, Treasurer; Clare, Register of Deeds; Kiley, Judge of Pro- bate; McCarthy, Attorney; Rass- mussen, Clerk of Court; Smith, Surveyor; Mrs. Stilson, Superin- tendent of Schools ; Wilder, County Commissioner; 0. H. Stilson, Court Commissioner. Returns from every precinct in the county except the two in the Rainy Lake district have been reported to Auditor King, and the count shows that the gehtlemen named above have been elected to the offices indi- cated. The people of Itasca county certainly did the fair thing by the two parties, and our Populist friends were not forgotten entirely, as 1. D. Rass- mussen was nominated by the local disciples of Donnelly and was elected to the office of clerk of court ina four-cornered fight. Mrs. Stilson for superintendent of schools was first nominated by the Democrats and later endorsed by the Republicans and Populists. This was certainly a high compliment to a very worthy lady, but the question arises as to which party deserves the most credit. Out of the twelve candidates ‘elected, five are Democratic, five Republican, one Peoples and Independent, with Mrs. Sulson endorsed by all parties. The political complexion of the county officers will be as follows: Toole, Kiley, Smith, Wilder and Russell, Democratic; King, Kremer, McCarthy, Clare and Stilson, Repub- lican—five each, The election of A. B. Clare was a surprise to the friends of Mr. Kear- ney, who had laughed at the possi- bility of the young Republican nomi- nee defeating so strong a candidate as Charles Kearney. But the secret of his success is easily discovered. The Magnet opposed Mr. Clare and set out to accomplish his defeat for per- sonal reasons and ‘supported the Democratic nominee. ‘That paper substituted the name of Mr. Kearnéy for that of Mr. Clare, making it ap- pear that Mr. Kearney was nominated by the Republican party. This was certainly an unfair advantage, and when the facts became known to the boys in the lumber camps, their innate desire for far play prompted them to stand by him and administer a well- merrited rebuke to such underhanded political chicanery. The reputation of the Magnet is well established and it is surprising to find how well it is GRAND RAPIDS, MINN. We 6666 county for its utter unreliabilty and political dishonesty. That paper also exerted its strongest endeavors to de- feat the editor of the Herald-Review, and as a result he was elected to the office of judge of probate by a handsome majority. ‘ The election of A.,E. Wilder as county commissioner from the Second district adds to the board an excellent member, who may be relied upon at all times to advance such county leg- islation as will be for the best interests of the people. Mr. Wilder is an old resident, who understands the needs of the county, and whose past. busi- ness experience qualifies him to aid in giving the county an able administra- tion, The other officers elect are hold- overs, and their past services seem to have been sufficiently satisfactory to warrant their continuation in office. It may be truthfully said that defeat casts no reflection upon any of the gentlenien who were unsuccessful. If they had received the endorsement of the voters they would have rendered the county services equally as satis- factory as will those who are chosen. Mr. McKinley’s Election. Willam McKinley will be the next president of the United States. As the returns began to come in from the doubtful states last night, it soun be- came evident that a Republican land- slide had taken place and that Mr. McKinley’s supporters had swept the country. ‘The silver forces have been badly routed. McKinley has at least 285 electoral votes, according sto the present indication, and there is a strong probability. that both the senate and the house of represent- atives will be controlled by the Re- publicans, ;although the complexion of the senate is still problematical. The predictions of the manager of the silver campaign have not been verified, except'in a few instances, and there is very little in the returns to give much satisfaction to those who believe in the remonetization of silver by the independent action of ITASCA THE BANNER GO Against Tremendous Opposition the Silver Forces Hold Their Own. TOWNE WILL BREAK EVEN The Village of Grand Rapids Goes Silver by a Majority of 112--- With Rainy Lake Yet to Hear From Towne May Lead. The supporters of Bryan, Lind and Towne in Grand Rapids and Itasca county have reason to congratulate themselves on the splendid vote given their favorite leaders. The congress- iowal and state committees had this county checked off as going over- whelmingly for the single gold stand- ard candidates, but the local workers for the cause of bimetallism have been untiring and zealous in the ef- forts since the opening of the cam- paign, and as a result Congressman Towne will have a small majority when the complete returns are in. It was also feared by the committees that fraud would prevail in the lum- ber camp precincts, but so far as learned no intimidation or fraud of any kind has been attempted. The vote was a fuir one so far as this county is concerned and the result has been recorded as marked by the voters. Considering the landslide throughout the country,and northern Minnesota especially, the local siver- ites have good reason to congratulate themselves'upon the splendid result of their work. They should remem- ber, however, that their work of education is by no means completed. Organization must be continued and immediate preparations. made for future campaigns. THE CLOSE OF THE CAMPAIGN. The Closing Rally of the Democrats, and Populists was a Great Demonstration. this-country, but if the Republicans now’. succeed in getting inter- national bimatalism all will be well, —Duluth Herald. Senator D. F. Morgan who ad- dressed the bimetallic meeting here Monday evening was highly gratified known by all classes throughout the GUNN AND WHITNEY. The Republican Nominees Both Elected to the State Legislature. Returns received up to. Friday night indicate the ‘election of D. M. Gunn and George A. Whitney to the the house and senate respectively, by handsome majorities, although Mr. Doran carried Itasca county by 123 votes over Gunn, with two precincts et to hear from.. The Democrats and Populists expected to carry Hub- berd county for Doran by over. one hundred, but contrary ‘to calculations, Gunn captured a majority. Returns are by’ no means complete but it.s. now estimated’ that Republican nomi- nees’ for the senate and house will each have majorities Tanging between. 500 and 1000, with the enthusiastic reception given him here. The Ladies Gold and Silver club had spared no pains in making the arrangements for the oc- casion and the silver forces jotned in the work with hearty good will. The parade was the largest held here dar- ing the campaign and Village hall was more than crowded with the interested audience. Senator Morgan delivered an excellent address which clinched the views of bimetallists and without doubt* had. considerable influence in rolling up the strong vote cast for the Bryan ticket here on Tuesday. The songs which the ladies added to the programme of the meeting were well received and proved tobe pleasingin both words and music. Senator Mor- gan went home on Tuesday mornings train leaving many friends here who will be glad to listen to-him again. IT’S MPKINLEY SURE Mark Hanna Has Captured the Coun- try by a Decided Majority. TOWNE IS ALSG DEFEATED The Popular Vote Will Show That it is Not a Landslide but Enough to Continue the Panic Four Years More. The Herald-Review has no roosters to display this week in its report of the national, state” and congressional elections. The result is not as we had hoped for, and while it must be submitted to, this paper is still of the opinion that prosperity will not reap- pear until the United. States .returns to the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver.at a ratio of 16 to 1. However, McKinley has been elected and much has been promised. We must all await results. The coun- try has long been prostrated and busi- ness depression has prevailed in every state. Finaneial failures have been frequent and severe. The election came and the verdict of the people was that the existing gold standard had nothing: to do with the prevailing hord times. On the contrary it seems to have been concluded that a threat- ed resumption of a system established by the founders of the republic would produce'anarchy and widespread dis- aster. The patriots who framed and handed down to the future generations of Americans that splendid charter of our liberties, did not realize, perhaps, that bimetallism was not a good thing and that its adoption as the unit of values was the first step toward an- archy, and the people of this country never fully realized that fact until No- vember 3, 1896. It seems to be the .case, however, according to the late decision. John Lind made a gallant fight against the combined forces of the state ring, but he. too, has gone down under the terrific force of the hard money cyclone. The brilliant and brainy Towne has been defeated for congress by Page Morris. The dis- triet will suffer much by the loss of Towne. He was a hard working, able and honest man who represented the Sixth district in a manner never equall- edibefore and he attained successes that Page Morris can never hope to reach, Mr. Bryan has conceded the elec- tion of McKinley and yesterday dis- patched the following to the success- ful candidate: “Senator Jones has just informed me that the returns indicate your election, and I hasten to. extend my congratulations. We have sub- mitted the issue to the American peo- ple and their will is law.” Mark Hanna issued the following: “Sufficient returns have been received Continued on Eighth page, 7} Se EMER ENA tag ae 82
