FARRELL, County Auditor. board Attest: THE FIREMEN’S ELECTION New Officers Elected at the Meeting Held on Monday Night. The annual meeting of the Grand Rapids Fire department was held on Monday evening. The reports of the secretary and treasurer were read, the latter showing -that there was a balance of about $150 in the ex- checker. The new officers elected were: J. ©. DeShaw, chief; John Cos- tello, first assistant;. Emil Litchke, second assistant; A. Racine, fire war- den; I. J. Austed, secretary; and Ed Kremer, treasurer. W. V. Fuller, who shas served as chief for three years was again nominated, but ab- solutely refused to serve longer in that capacity, claiming that his busi- ness affairs took up so much of his time th himto g tention the department the at- it. should receive. made a most efficient officer;and was|be defeated by a” few votes, "| LUESDAY’S ELECTIONS Democratic Gains Were Made in Every State That Voted, LITTLE REPUBLICAN COMFORT National Issues Discussed in Nebraska and Maryland and Both Go Demo- cratic---Nash Elected in Ohio But Fails of a Majority. The average Republican spellbinder or newspaper gets tu lying with such tegularity and enthusiasm before election that he goes on reckonivg without his. almanac after the con- test is over, Hence, after Tuesday's little brush in a dozen states, nearly all of which are Republican as regu- larly as the rising and setting of the sun, we note in Republican papers “great Republican — victorie: and “tremendous Republican gains.” But what is the use of all this tommyrot? The student of figures is not fooled by it, and there is mighty little use of telling the man who doesn’t study elementary arithmetic such stuff.. Now, let’s get down to official cal- culations and see just what happened Tuesday. In Nebraska the Republi- cans, knowing the state to be the home of the leading Democratic can- didate, made a night-and-day canvass to beat that gentleman and take him out of the race before the Democratic national convention. What bap- pened? Nebraska, which gave a fusion plurality of 2.721 in 1898, gave a fusion plularity of 15,000. In Mary- jJand there was a straight party fight between a Democratic and a Repub- lican candidate for governor and the Democrat won by a majority of over 12,000, and yet at the election of 1898 it: would be impossible for | the Republicans won by a majority of 7,109.

The Grand Rap- ids Orchestra was present to furnish the music anda very pleasant time was spent.

A Cass Lake Tough Uses a Knife on Our Former Townsman. The Grand Rapids friends of Ex- County’ Commissioner George Lydick were very much surprised when they learned on Wednesday that he had been assaulted by a Cass Lake tough and badly cut about the head and face with a large pocket knife. George has a peaceable disposi- tion and was never known to get into trouble. The facts as related here are about as follows: Mr, Lydick was at Walked on Monday and upon bis return to Cass Lake Tuesday evening he found that his driving team had been taken to Ferris by his young brother and a couple of men about town. In company with Conductor Campbell he started to drive to Fer- ris_after the team. When but a short distance out they met the party returning. Lydick rebuked the bey for taking the (horses without permission, whereupon the man who did the cutting began to abuse him / and a rough-and-tumble fight ensued. Lidick got his man down but it was aark and the spectators could not see what was going on, It seems. that the aggressor got his knife out and} began slashing desperately at Ly-. dick’s head and face making several ugly wounds, some of which will mark his face for life. Mr. Lydick! was taken to town at once and his | wounds were dressed by a doctor. The loss of blood was considerable | and it was at first thought that his life was in danger. The human butcher Walker where he will be held until jnext May to await the action of ay grand jury. | /6,000 for Rébert Treat larity in the field against a straight Republican, does anybody doubt that Kentucky would have gone Demo- 2, and-by a majority of at least 20,000 votes? It is wholly unneces- sary to mention Mississippi and Vir- ginia. ‘They were expected to go Democratic and they did so with proper emphasis Here ani there we hear a little - crowing by those wbo are not well informed about the great. Republican victory. in Massachusetts and the noble stand the state took against Hoar and Atkinson and anti- expansion. What nonsense again! The Democrats. expected nothing in Massachusetts and made no fight there outside of Boston, where a de- cided anti-expansion stand was taken. Boston, which gave Wolcott (Rep.)a majority ip 1898, went more than Paine, the Democratic candidate for governor. The state of Massacbusetts, 83,000 Republican in 1898. drops to 65,000 this year. Ye gods, how Hoar and Atkinson must lie. awake nights re- gretting the rebuff they have re- ceived. In the Republican Gibraltar, Pennsylvania, which gave McKinley nearly 300,000 plurality in 1898, the grand old party lest votes by tens of thousands, and, though leading at the finish, looks like a hen which had been trying unsuccessfully for four days to follow a duck across a lake. And what of Ohio? The Republican candidate is elected by some 35,000, 25.000 less than the plurality of 1898,~ and more than 80,000 less than a ma- jority of the votes of the state. This looks like an indorsement of McKin- ley, Hanna, the trusts and expansion done in oi] with the left hand. In Iowa the Republicans actually nearly held theirown and in South Dakota, where the farmers are utilizing this beautiful November weather to the utmost in doing their fall plowing and threshing their grain, the Repub- licans made a gain. There were no state tickets in either New York or New Jersey and therefore no state contest in any fair sense. On a very light vote both New York and Brook- lyn gave great Democratic majorities, giving plenty of -evidence of a suffi- cient reserve force te make the plu- rality for any popular Democratic national candidate more than 100.000 jin that territory known as Greater New York. It takes an extraordinary Republican candidate to beat that north of the Bronx. Let those people who are fond of | nlaying with such fire as the trusts, - imperialism and militarism go danc- lug on to their doom while Nero Hanna handles the violin. The American people. still bave the Declaration of Independence in full view and they have not yet voted to ‘wis arrested and is now in jailat;tearit to tatters and forget one hun- _ dred and twenty years of the most _ glorious natioval existence under the flag of freedom in the history of the world,—St. Paul Globe. —_— ap eet
